Hi,,
I note that in another thread Wouter PE3WJ mentions the the next Delfi
satellite n3Xt currently being constructed.
Can we be assured that full details of the telemetry equations and
decoding format for defli-n3Xt will be published, preferably before launch.
With the considerable interest
Hi,
Thanks for reading. I bought a couple of MASPRO WHS32N Oscar Hunter
antennas and I am looking for some other HAM operators that use these
antennas and would like to receive some experiences with these and maybe
some mods they have made to them

My ship kicked into high gear overnight and is much farther along than
our voyage plan called for. We're crossing into FL08 in a few minutes
instead of later this afternoon. I'll try to be on SO67 at 29/1311Z and
whatever pass(es) occur while we're in the grid. We won't be in the grid
all that long
Didn't see this here yet, so forwarding just in case.

Keep in mind the uplink is 432, not 435 where the TenTecs normally are.

Hi All,
The original website is up again. The familiar download spot is now back at

The link that Wouter Jan PE4WJ sent is also a valid download, but the

Another minimalist. :-)
Yes, you should be able to work it that way. I currently work AO-7 and

I think part of the problem is that we are victims of our own success.
There have been numerous articles and presentations about how easy it is to
get on the FM satellites with just an HT or dualband FM rig (and mine isn't
even a true dualband, it just receives on UHF), and this has been so

One more SO-67 question. Why is there an echo on the downlink? Usually I hear
someone talking and then hear the same words a second or two later, but much
louder.

Hi Bill,
It may be the parrot getting triggered by strong uplink signals with high
FM deviation.
I have heard the same on passes over Europe. Not very often - just now and
again.

There is only ONE WAY to stop the mess on AO51. Turn it off and let Drew

was wrong in doing that. AO51 is out of control. If an operator

My ship will be pulling into Jacksonville (EM90) late tonight, so there

Willing to pay reasonable copying costs.
As Drew pointed out, this needs to be brought down from 435 to 432 --
anyone ever done that?
