Any word on when their transponders will be activated?I listened for
their CW beacons this morningon high passes, but did not hear them.

Hello to all
Ron, VY1RM and I were trying to complete a contact since last week. Finally,
we made it tonight. It was not easy!
Thanks very much to Ron for the great contact and his persistence!!
Frank, thanks very much for your assistance!

nice going! we must remember, if this were easy, everyone would be doing it.
Or as my Dad told me, the difficult we do immediately, the impossible takes a
little longer.

No word yet and personally I wouldn't expect anything for 6 months or maybe
more.
Remember in the case of TURKSAT-3USAT that AMSAT-TR (TAMSAT) are only providing
the linear transponder, they do not own the satellite.

Seeing how he is pretty rare, it would be great if people would make the

Has anyone figured out any ground station requirements? Antenna gain,
polarization, receiving equipment etc...

Hi All, I didn't really know who to contact, so I emailed you all, sorry for
the spam.
I'd like to officially inform the Amsat and IARU communities (though you
surely know this already), that we are now sure CubeBug-1 is object 13018D /

I wouldn't recommend a J-pole for satellite work unless you expect to
only work sats on the horizon. The J-Pole antenna has a low take-off
angle and almost NO radiation overhead, an plain 1/4 wave ground plane
antenna would work better for the sats.
J-poles are great terrestrial

Anybody off the top of their heads know how many degrees a second swing
are (is?) required for direct aim at the ISS? I know there are beam
width tolerances, altitude variations and degree above horizon
variations but I'm looking at Bob B's fixed antenna aiming of 15-20
degrees above horizon

A dish like in the picture probably has a beam-width of 15-ish degrees.
I used a 30 inch BBQ grill antenna for AO-40, and would notice a
drop-off when mis-aimed by about that much. ISS moves VERY quickly
compared to AO-40, so some sort of active positioning on both axis is
going to be
For the digital TV challenged, what means Any DVB-S Decoder which can

HAMTV stream will be transmitted at 1.3 MSym/s or at 2.0 MSym/s.
Technical specs of the set-top box indicate the range of the decoded
stream. Generally this range is from 2 to 45 MSym/s, therefore if you
need to buy it, you should select one that can guarantee a range from 1
to 45 MSym/s.
Hi Emanuele,
Right. But what is that in terms of what normally gets described? For
example, I have a Digital TV card for my computer (Pinnacle PCTV HD).
It says it does ATSC digital TV (HDTV up to 1080i, and SDTV) and
Clear QAM (unencrypted digital cable).
Am I even close?
Greg KO6TH
Hi Greg,
I believe that your Pinnacle PC Card is not for DVB-S (Satellite
networks) but for DVB-T (terrestrial networks).
Please check on the web or give me the model of your card, so that I
will check it.

Jeff,
You are correct, a J Pole is an end fed dipole on its side. Max gain at the
horizon and extinction at 90 degree elevation. The J section is for matching
and does not radiate. Gain = 2.1 dBi at the horizon.

Roger,
A SWAG, (Wild Guess) 1 degree per second at a Zenith of 90 degrees. Anything
less than 90 degrees will be slower with several minutes spent near the
horizon. You can use an orbital program to get exact numbers. With a wide
beam width antenna, the lag overhead may never require the antenna
