Hello Nader.
I heard the sat go into eclipse over Europe earlier in the evening. It appeared
to shut down immediately it passed into darkness. The battery does not appear
to have any capacity left.
Perhaps all AMSAT spacecraft should be designed to operate on solar panels
alone after the batt

One thing I've discovered which makes things go more smoothly is to reduce
the minimum Doppler tuning interval.
I am using SatPC32 V12.8a. There are two parameters in the CAT menu -- the

Hello,
This was a "proof of concept" i.e. recording under Linux with Audacity,
ARISSAT signal received with an FUNcube dongle.
Signals were weak for the record was performed at the end of the night pass.
wav file can be transferred on an iPad an then read with the very nice
application iSDR.
QST adds a Hamspeak sidebar to articles to explain some of the jargon in the
article. I feel the need for a SatSpeak sidebar. Today I heard a station
working an FM pileup giving his grid location as "The Lighthouse". I thought
I understood the grid system but "The Lighthouse" is a new one for me.

Tom:
You probably made contact with W2GSB. Here is the message he had
posted on this board earlier.
Hello,
I will be operating, as W2GSB, from the historic Fire Island Lighthouse,
FN30, for the Great South Bay Amateur Radio Club tomorrow, 8-20 and 8-21st,
the first pass will be with SO-50,
I've been making an effort to downsize a bit a found an old treasure, or it
might be to someone. It is a downconverter made by parks electronics
laboratory in Beaverton, or. Its labeled as Model 144-1 two meter converter.
144 = 28mhz and 145=29mhz. Has a self contained power supply. It is quite

Thanks to everyone for the encouragement. Tonight for the 7PM pass of
ARISSat I went up on a hill where I had a good view of the horizon, taking
my F6a and a slightly-better-than-stock ducky. I actually heard the bird!
Not strongly, and (surprisingly) not until it was way down on the horizon

- Control panel temp. = +24 deg. C
- Battery voltage = +35.54 V
- Battery current = -20 mA
