I recall the actual birthplace of ARISsat-1 was SuitSat-2 . I may be mistaken.
However after following the progress , I never recall it's intentions of being
a SSB Transponder . It seems the two ssb birds that are in orbit and useable do
not get near the traffic the FM birds get . There is only
On the ARISSat-1 pass just ended here (23 degrees max elevation), results
were about the same as yesterday. I heard my CW downlink for about a
minute, peaking 559. Several other CW signals were in there, but I couldn't

their calls due to the deep fades.

Hello
I'm doing some experiments and I wonder if anyone has some scheme of a
Linear Transponder VHF - UHF to provide me.
Now appreciate any help.
Thanks.

During the ARISSSat-1 pass that just went by (81 degrees max elevation), I
tried the linear transponder. My CW signal peaked at RST 449. No other

I, and many others were able to get into the transponder at 4:00Z on
August 6th. I used about 40w into a Lindenblad on TX and another omni
on receive. One 'window' seemed much better for all of us than did the
others, probably having something to do with the orientation of the RX
antenna. I say thi
