If a satellite does not provide amateur radio services, why not charge for
satellite tracking?
We could at least ask for a fixed amount per satellite as a donation to our
amateur radio satellite fund in lieu of tracking services.
Thousands of satellites will be placed in orbit in the coming yea
Hi Kevin, ZL1BGK
You are absolutely correct ! I agree with you because if we as Amateur
Satellite users will stop to collect telemetry for satellites that does not
provide Amateur Radio Services,then the Universities and Commercial
organizations will cease to build thousands of Microsats and Nano

The word "Charging" for anything Ham Radio related is out of
the question. We are NOT a commercial entity and exist
because of our traditional support of emergency related
situations and our experimental nature. Yes, we have
consented to monitor some Student sats so they can get info.

This afternoon using a Fubcube Dongle I detected the arissat-1 spectrum on

The signal was weak but visible (and audible) and rapid as you would expect at
the nominal frequency. I used FCHiD to set the frequency and HDSD
From what I am seeing on the RAX-2 website, my Keps are way off. Where
can I find the latest? They are not on the website.

Carl,
James Cutler "is" RAX-2...he's the faculty advisor to the students who built
it.
The website is most certainly behind, because we are just now getting KEPS via

likely NOT A, B, or H.

Again Domenico,
what a sad comment.
No one "makes" you work as a "picker" and no one has forced you to
invest whatever you invested in your equipment.
On the other hand , many of us take pride to assist and help in
building relationships and offering services because we "like" it and
it is fun!
All,
Here is a strategy I used on new launches--since I don't know which object is
which bird, I make multiple frequency entries for each new object, so I can at
least QSY during the pass if I want to try and listen for another one. Here is

Hi Stefan, VE4NSA
Keep those blinders on secure! Again you totally miss the point
being made. These "poor" universities struggle along only charging
tuitions of $15K-$50K per student and are taking advantage of hams by
getting a free tracking network. If more institutions would thank

prohibition for remuneration for amateur radio services.
The argument can be made that if a station is only serving to RECEIVE
transmissions, then the data gathering for hire may be legal,

I am pleased to report that Burns, W2BFJ heard me but he was on temporary power
