Hi,
I'm sure you don't mean "intercept" but monitor.
Have a look at this page http://www.orbitessera.com/html/space_shuttle.html
Has the frequencies listed--never tried to copy them myself.

When footprints cover multiple countries at the same time, do you speak
English, or local language to stations in your country?

Really great! Thanks for building this. I was thinking it would be a great
thing to have.
Wish list:
1) Sort by callsign as well as bird. This way I can see what my reports were in
one chunk. Maybe break apart call and location?
2) Add field for grid.
Thanks! I really like it.

I seem to have trouble finding data on this bird. Can someone point me to keps,

Well, it's clear what I should do. Will try remounting on masts as soon as
weather permits. Looking forward to improvements in performance.
Thanks to all and happy holidays!

Make sure CO-56 is not selected to your group. I had the same trouble until
removing it. It's no longer in orbit, so the Keps must be omitted from the
file.
Good luck,

Hello all,
In the midst of all the excitement around the new birds, I have a question for
all of you:
I have ARR preamps on both the 432 and 145 transmission lines. At the moment,
they are located in shack, just before the transceiver.
Both lines to antennas are 50 feet (15.24 meters) of LMR4
Look at SSB or ARR -- both good but SSB has slightly better reports from
folks I know using them.

I have both vertical and horizontal elements of my 70cm yagi coming into the
shack via separate runs of LM400. They meet in a box with bits of coax for
matching and phasing before going to the radio.
I would like to add a relay to make polarity changes quick and easy. Do I need
to use a specif
OK, here's another question for you:
My 70cm and 2m yagis are currently in an "X" (each set of elements 45 deg off
horizon) orientation on the boom. I did this to minimize interaction between
the two. However, I'm wondering if performance may be improved by mounting them
with on set of elements
Thanks for all the great responses. I'll try switching them around and see how
it affects performance. Although I'm in Kansas City, RF pollution is not too
bad at my particular location. One benefit of the filters is reduction of
desensing the receiver when xmitting, especially with preamps on.
On both 70cm and 2 meter antennas, I have DCI filters tuned to sat passbands as
well as ARR preamps. My question is: what's the preferred order? Presently, I
have the filters closer to the antennas, with the assumption I'd be better off
supressing spurs first, thus preventing them from hitting p
Can someone point/provide a list of active birds to track? I enjoy just
tracking and listening sometimes, but I'm probably unaware of all the
possibilities.
Have the AMSAT list on the website, but figured there are more than I'm aware
of.
Thanks,

SatPC32 works great on the linear birds. Takes a little tuning to get on the
right freq, but works nicely after setup.

Duplexer are bi-directional. Essentially passive bandpass filters--don't care
which way he RF flows.
