Hi Takushi, Excellent! I'm set and waiting for NIWAKA to come up over the horizon in about an hour. 73, Mike, N1JEZ AMSAT 29649 A closed mouth gathers no feet - Original Message - From: tan...@fit.ac.jp Subject: Re: [amsat-bb] 5.8GHz transmission from NIWAKA Dear Mike, We have

Hi Takushi, Success! I was able to detect NIWAKA. It was lower in frequency that I expected, but with the Funcube, easy to spot. The Doppler was huge! and I was moving the dish almost continuous to try and keep up. I'll edit the IQ RF file and post it so folks can play it back for

Hi Mark, Very simple system. I was not trying to capture the pictures, but merely detect the signal. So I used my terrestrial 5.760 DEMI transverter. Measured it on the bench at 5.84 GHz, it was down about 15 dB from 5.76 G The transverter uses a 144 MHz IF, so simply used my Funcube set

Here are two IQ RF wave files that can be played back in programs like HDSDR. They are the full 96 kHz bandwidth. The first file is about 18 MB and is the first detection of NIWAKA. The second file is 3 MB and shows the Doppler near the end of the 2 minute window. The 5.84 GHz signal Doppler

Dear Mike, We have set the delay command successfully. NIWAKA will send the 5.84GHz at 11:32:38 on 11th Nov. (UTC) The delay time is specified with accuracy of 0.1 min (6 sec). We appreciate if you could measure the starting time of 5.8GHz transmission. It will be useful for the following
