Congrats on the HO-68 contacts! FM mode can be a challenge at times.

Hey, AO-16 and IO-26 still have some decent batteries, even after 20 years or
so :)
Check their orbit numbers (80k-100k), and that's very close to the number of
time they have been charged/discharged! hehe
Neat on the new technology...but our buddies that built those birds picked some

Japanese research and development firm Eamex claims to have found a new way to
increase the typical average life of a high-capacity lithium-ion battery.
Eamex's new technology will allow the demanding batteries to sustain over
10,000 recharges over the course of 20 years.

This problem, in my experience, was caused by Vista's User Account Control
not allowing Orbitron to write any new data to the hard drive. There are two
ways to solve this:
1. Run Orbitron as Administrator (right click on the icon -> Run as
Administrator)
2. Disable User Account Control. This can
Hi Jerry,
I don't think Vista likes things written to
ProgramFiles/Orbitron/TLE. There is a section in the Orbitron
help about setting directory paths that might apply.
I'm no Window expert, I just switched to XP, so I'm a few years
behind the curve.

Hi Jonas,
If you have something capable of generating 422.967 MHz you should be able to
easily use the third harmonic. Remember that the original frequency shift at
422 is also tripled, so reduce the shift on the original signal accordingly.

I feel your pain! I am the other end of the footprint (CN87wk- Seattle Wa.

about 8775Km apart, which is beyond the footprint. There are not that many VE
stations on AO7. There are a few VE7'

Sorry I wasn't able to get on the satellites this evening. Three out of
four evenings in the current cycle isn't too bad! I spent the last two days

Hi Bruce,
Thanks for the details.
Question--how does your code deal with 2 satellites in view at the
same? Do you have a priority function, so the higher priority bird
"wins"? And is there a way to change birds during a simulaneous pass
(i.e., override the priority)? Just trying to imagine the
My Fellow Radioamateurs,
In the last couple of years our group here at DTU in Denmark have been
working hard to realize the communication system for our next cubesat
satellite DTUsat-2. We have developed a full duplex system which has a
38400bps MSK-modulated downlink as well as CW beacon at 2401.
I too used HO-68 for the first time last night and found it incredibly
difficult to hold the repeater open for any decent length of time
despite having a good high pass. I question the sense in trying to run
digital and voice at the same time on the same frequency (although that
question is for

It just works!

I recommend that you register with Space-Track and set up a favourites list of
just the satellites that you're
interested in.
