[amsat-bb] Re: Elevation System

Hi Marco, If you are looking to lash something together (instead of going with a purpose-built Elevation rotor), I and others have had success with Television-type rotors that have a through-hole for the mast. Mounted on their side, they seem to perform very well. Just keep things balanced,

[amsat-bb] New SATCONTROL_FCD

I just tried out the new SATCONTROL_FCD for the FunCube with 1 Hz steps on FO-29. Worked well! No need to run Howard's control program now. Easy SSB copy on KI6CQ, WB4LHD, WA6DIR and K8RO. I actually heard several AO-51 FM uplinks on the FO-29 downlink as well - K8YSE and KI6CQ. I posted a scr

[amsat-bb] SATCONTROL_FCD

All, I uploaded a new version of SATCONTROL_FCD (V. 0.8.1). The software is using Mike's ExtIO_FCD.dll (must be in the same directory). You can now correct the doppler frequency in Hz steps - so you can also track satellite CW beacons :-) download zip file here: http://www.dk3wn.info/files

[amsat-bb] Re: Funcube dongle results Jan 16th

Hi Henk Particularly regarding your attempt to receive the ISS, do you see a significant increase in noise floor when you connect the antenna at VHF, potentially 20dB or more? If so, it may be being overloaded from the sum of VHF signals coming into the radio. When you use a preamp it almost cert
