For those using AMSAT keps to track AO-91, please note that the
satellite has been identified as object number 43017. The previous
distribution used 43016. This may cause some odd behavior with certain
tracking apps when updating keps. You may need to delete and re-add
AO-91.

As promised, AO-91 (FOX-1B) is now NORAD CAT ID 43017. This should be
the last change of object number. Thanks to all who have labored to
finally come to this point.
Also I have added EcAMSat (NORAD CAT ID 43019) to this week's AMSAT-NA
TLE Distribution.
EcAMSat was developed through a partnership between NASA's Ames
Research Center and Standford University School of medicine and has
only a data downlink on 437.095 MHz. See the following AMSAT News
Service Bulletin ANS-330 link for more information. Thanks to Nico
Janssen, PA0DLO for satellite ID.

Hi!
I will have an AMSAT table at the Superstition Amateur Radio Club's
Superstition Superfest on Saturday, 2 December 2017, in Mesa AZ. The
hamfest will be in the south parking lot of Mesa Community College,
along the east side of Dobson Road between Southern Avenue and US-60
exit 177. More information about the hamfest is available at:
https://www.superstitionsuperfest.org/
WD9EWK will be on various satellite passes during the hamfest. If
you hear WD9EWK on a pass, please feel free to call and be a part
of the demonstrations. After the hamfest, all QSOs with WD9EWK from
the hamfest will be uploaded to Logbook of the World. QSL cards are
available on request; please e-mail me with the QSO details if you
would like to receive a QSL card. The hamfest is in grid DM43.
Thanks in advance, and 73!

What is the 'gold standard' for AOS predictions on a PC (no phones, pls)?
Clearly, after playing with WinAos for an hour, that is not the program !

Subject: [amsat-bb] Question - Icom IC910-H full duplex operation using
theData jack inputs
I have an IC-910H question maybe someone can help with?
Would like to set up mine for full duplex to work Falconsast-3 using the
Data jacks for TX/RX data jacks for I/O but cannot seem to get the TX input
side working. I do get RX data out of the radio no problem, so issue seems
isolated to TX input side of the Data jacks.
In brief, I made a cable so that the output of an UZ7HO sound modem will
pass audio into the Data jack input. The cable ohms out OK, but I do not
seem to be getting the data/audio into the radio via either Data jack. I
have set the audio going into the data jacks at ~ 0.4 V p-p. I am aware
that when the rig is in Satellite mode, the Data jacks act in reverse.
To troubleshoot further, I have tried Split mode. As I understand, this
should leverage the Main Data jack only? With the radio in split FM mode
only, even if I feed a 1k2 tone to the Main or Sub Data jack input and key
the radio (by pushing the front panel TX button), I cannot hear modulation
on a second radio set up to monitor the IC-910H TX frequency. Have also
tried all sorts of combinations for the Main and Sub Data inputs, but no
joy.
Is it required to assert PTT from the Data jack itself?
BYW, I already have 1K2 packet set up for the sound modem using the ACC
jack. Works FB. I'd just like to use the Data jacks for 9K2.
Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot further? I will try an even lower
audio input level (as suggested by N8MH), but the TX light is bright with
0.4 V input suggesting that the automatic limiter may not be the problem?
Hopefully, I have missed something very simple. Direct email replies OK
too.
Thanks,
Bob

Ted,
First - I have yet to see any program come close to the GUI that Ham radio
deluxe's satellite module has. Instead of a list of times it shows a visual
representation, kind of like a small graph of each satellite's pass for your
QTH. You click on the graph/picture that you want to follow and it takes you
to the globe layout showing the overhead pass like other programs do.
Second - Gpredict
Note - SatPC32 is the gold standard and best supported PC program to use for
rig and rotor control but a little old school on its prediction list.

Hi Ted,
Try http://amsat.org.ar/pass and/or http:amsat.org.ar/pass.exe (this last
for Dopplers/rotor control), it's free.
It's far for being a 'gold standard', but will ease satellite hunt and
operation.
Provides AOS/LOS graphs & schedules both in graphics and tabular form, no
need to update keps.
Good Luck, enjoy the birds.
