Hi Jeff,
Don't let a few rotten apples spoil the basket. What you encountered is
common on FO-29 even with its generous passband.
As a general guideline I recommend portable and demo stations transmit
outside 145.930-960 to play it safe.

Jeff,
As N8HM said, some aren't hearing that you are already on
that frequency. For others, the software controlling the
radio(s) put them on the center of the transponder, and
the operator doesn't bother to tune around and change that
frequency.
If you start out 10 or 15 kHz above the center fr
I doubt it was intentional. They probably just can't hear the satellite.

I just ran some dits through it; seems to be healthy. There was a carrier

FO-29 has a strong CW beacon at 435.795 +/- Doppler. It's down there by itself
and easy to find.
Also most downlink signals are concentrated and very strong around 435.850 +/-

Are you working or hearing any other sats?

It means that the signal sideband is inverting upside down in the satellite.
It inverts USB to LSB and LSB to USB. It also change your frequency
polarity. If you increase your frequency at the uplink,
No, that's actually a good question. Usually, satellites follow the normal
sideband plan for the downlink, and then you have to set your uplink depending
on the satellite. So, with FO-29's downlink in the 70cm band, you'd be
listening to the downlink on USB, and transmitting on the uplink on
Actually it's the other way around. You transmit on the uplink in LSB so
you receive the downlink in USB.

Pass over central US was still in operation with several SSB stations on. I was
on CW but no contacts. Pass was a 19 deg pass for me, and the 0408 utc pass
will be 40 degs so hopefully more West Coast will be on...

I think so Drew KO4MA says like that.
And I think the transponder turn on for a while after having
passed over Japan. But I don't understand till when the state
continues. Please do the reasonable uplink power.

As I understand it from Mineo's postings, when the battery voltage on
FO-29 hits a certain set point the satellite turns off. By design it
should turn back on when the voltage recovers, but that part is
malfunctioning. This makes it impossible to accurately determine how
long the transponder wi
Mineo,
Thanks for this schedule.
Will the transmitter be ON for a specific amount of time? How can we
determine when the transmitter will go OFF?
Thanks,

Mineo, is there any update on the status of FO-29?
I think there was an expectation that FO-29 would emerge from eclipse
induced coma sometime this month. Is there still reason to be hopeful?

The control station is now only activating FO-29 for one pass a week (over

FO-29 still has some trouble.
Therefore it is examination use for a while only over Japan.
We do not yet understand when it restore.
But there are the reception report from South America and Europe.
You may listen to CW with luck over your area.
