Hello AMSATs,
As we all know OSCAR is the abbreviatie of Orbiting Satellite Carrying Amateur
Radio.
To my opinion the function of OSCAR satellites is to facilitate communication
between amateur radio stations using amateur radio frequencies and/or do
experiments on those radio frequencies.
William,
you have a good point there, that needs some discussion indeed.
Actually I do support the participation of radio amateurs in this kind
of scientific effort. I find it very interesting and I am willing to
spend some time and even money on it.
However, I am frequently quite

Hi,
Thought I would give the ARISSat transponder a try.
Any recomendations from those that have worked it.
I have available a 9 element yagi and about 20W at the feed point
Is this likely to work or do I need a few kW ?
Thanks

Just my 2 cents worth,
Whichever side of the debate you happen to be on, and I can see both sides,
there is one thing to be said in favour of the so called beep sats
They keep our frequencies warm whilst we wait for bigger and better satellites

John,
I hear my signal back very well with an 18 el crossyagi and 40 W TRX
output. However so far nobody came back to CQ. I think your setup should
work. Try CW.
How about a sked tomorrow for the passes around 10:07 and/or 11:42?
Cheers

Hi Stefan,
So the answer on my question if my 433MHz toy car, when I put it into space,
can get an OSCAR number is YES!
According to the AMSAT website you mentioned of course... :-P
- My question was not specific if these satellites can or can't get an OSCAR
number.
My intention was more if
I would like to first say that yes, many of these Cubesats projects do a
really poor job of providing information about themselves and they have a
lot of room for improvement.
Second that amateur bands are used not only for the fact that there are
already established ground stations, but because
Hi John,
With the antenna that you have I am sure that you should have no problem
hearing your own downlink and maybe getting someone to respond to your calls.
I had confirmed contacts earlier in the season when ARRISat-1 was first
making passes and active during daylight hours here in the

Did Orbital just sound too geeky for the masses?
YES - the early citations from the 1960s had it as Orbital.

Not to mention the cost of launch to HEO. No one with the capability is giving

Stefan,
I wholeheartedly support your comments.
We made a conscious decision many years ago, that in retirement, we would
support the Cubesat Program by downloading their telemetry, to give
something back to the hobby.
