Several stations across AR, TX, and LA reported only hearing telemetry
on the 12:50 UTC pass. I never heard anything but telemetry at my QTH.
As read previously here on the BB, the downlink frequency of the
transponder, APRS, and telemetry is now 437.200 MHz.

Do you have timestamps of when you heard your voice on the downlink?
There were 3 stations here in the mid-south that all tried getting into
the transponder on the 1250z pass, and none of us heard anything other
than APRS packets. I was searching far and wide for any signal too, way
outside the normal ranges.

As I got up late, it was later in the pass, I started around 6 degrees, I
could bring the transponder up till about 1 degree. I think you guys were
off in frequency on the d/l. I was surprised myself to find it so low. But
is was certainly there.

All,
Using detailed doppler measurements I find the following identifications:
XW-2A is object 40903, 2015-049E, (other IDs: XiWang 2A, Hope 2A, CAS-3A).
XW-2C is object 40906, 2015-049H, (other IDs: XiWang 2C, Hope 2C, CAS-3C).
XW-2E is object 40909, 2015-049L, (other IDs: XiWang 2E, Hope 2E, CAS-3E).
XW-2F is object 40905, 2015-049G, (other IDs: XiWang 2F, Hope 2F, CAS-3F).
LilacSat 2 is object 40908, 2015-049K, (other ID: CAS-3H).
The Long March 6 (CZ-6) third stage is now object 40913, 2015-049Q.

Has the AMSAT website display gone squirrelly for anyone else? There is the
initial pull down menu across the top, "AMSAT, Contact Us, blah, blah, blah?
Store"... But then there is 6 lines of other menu choices related to the
AMSAT symposium and it covers up the pages content. It's like someone tried
to add another menu but it's not displaying properly. Here I am using
Firefox v41.0 for the coders.

I had the same issues, using Firefox and chrome (not sure which versions

Paul, Glad you like it. The source will be posted shortly. Sometime in
the next two weeks. I just have to make sure that the licenses are
straight for other people's code that is reused. The code I have written
is GPL, as the manual says.
The priority was to get the decoder into people's hands to make sure it
works before launch. Please let us know if there are any issues. The
source code will follow.

I have a nice dual-band Yaesu FT-5200 that works fine, however the
display is shot. Probably too much exposure to Alabama heat and sunshine.
Can someone recommend a good repair service who are willing to tackle
this little rig?

Interested in hosting an ARISS contact? The window is now open from
2015-09-01 to 2015-11-01. These proposals will be for school contacts
during the
second half of 2016. Go to http://www.arrl.org/hosting-an-ariss-contact
or http://www.ariss.org/apply-to-host-an-ariss-contact.html for full
details.
To help organizations in preparing their proposals, the ARISS Program
Coordinator will offer hour-long online information sessions. These are
designed to provide more information regarding US ARISS contacts and the
proposal
process and offer an opportunity to ask questions. While attending an
online information session is not required, it is strongly encouraged.
These will be offered Thursday, September 17, at 2000 UTC; Tuesday,
September 22, at 2000 UTC, and Wednesday, September 30, at 2300 UTC. Advance
registration is necessary. Email ARISS (ariss@xxxx.xxxx to sign up for an
information session.
****************************************************************************
**
>From 2015-12-20 to 2016-01-04, there will be no US Operational Segment
(USOS)
hams on board ISS. So any schools contacts during this period will be
conducted by the ARISS Russia team.
****************************************************************************
ARISS is always glad to receive listener reports for the above contacts.
ARISS thanks everyone in advance for their assistance. Feel free to send
your reports to aj9n@xxxxx.xxx or aj9n@xxx.xxx.
****************************************************************************
Several of you have sent me emails asking about the RAC ARISS website and
not being able to get in. That has now been changed to
http://www.ariss.org/
Note that there are links to other ARISS websites from this site.
****************************************************************************
Looking for something new to do? How about receiving DATV from the ISS?
If interested, then please go to the ARISS-EU website for complete
details. Look for the buttons indicating Ham Video.

If you need some assistance, ARISS mentor Kerry N6IZW, might be able to
provide some insight. Contact Kerry at kbanke@xxxxxxxxx.xxx
