On the 0340 UTC pass, I again could see someone in the passband, but it
showed as 10 traces rather than one. At the end of the transmission, I
heard a CW ID. So I emailed the operator.
Turns out, he's transmitting PropNet PSK beacon signal, and it's falling in
the passband of NO-84 uplink! Now it makes sense. And of course I could
not decode his PSK31 signal, because it's sending data aligned with the
PropNet algorithm!
I still can't see my signal on the downlink. Maybe I need to try a
different antenna..

Hi all,
With reference to the question about satellite operation for this years
"International Lighthouse /Lightship "
events ( ILL ) dates Saturday 20 th and Sunday 21st august 2016.
Over here in Wales ( United Kingdom ) the " Barry Amateur Radio Society "
will be operating from a twin pair of lighthouses located at "NASH POINT
" situated on the coast of the Bristol Channel - South Wales.
We will be limited to operation during approx. 0700 -1600 hrs GMT only I
regret to say.
" In addition to operating on the HF and VHF bands I also plan to set up
my portable satellite equipment for operation and contacts during suitable
passes"
Callsign /Lighthouse and details as follows
GC4BRC - Lighthouse ( High ) Ref: UK0071:
GC4BRS - Lighthouse ( Low ) Ref: UK0072
Locator Ref: IO81FJ QSL Manager : MW0DHF ( Philip King)
Weather is not looking to good - hopefully it will not deter our plans for
operation.

I think either he is overmodulating his AFSK or the signal is overdriving
NO-84 receiver.

Did you tell him what was happening?
I honestly can hardly believe that he doesn't have something drastically
wrong.
Because guys that run that beacon program rarely run more than 5 watts
MAX. most are like 500 milliwatts 1/2 a watt.

I gently asked him if perhaps he was over-modulating his signal, among a
bunch of other friendly ham-related topics.
He answered the other topics but not the over-mod. I shall listen on
another pass.
It is weird, Joe. I remember doing ? watt on PropNet PSK back 10 years ago.
How could he be hitting the bird if he?s using ? watt? Or even 5 watts?
Unless he has a long boom yagi, but I don?t think so.
And I still can?t get through the downlind! 28120 kHz, 1500 Hz audio, 50
watts out to an off-center-fed dipole at 64 feet. I tried both with my Flex
5K and my TS480 on 28120. I monitored the downlink with SDRPlay receiver so
I could see the entire passband. Nuttin.

I have always used a handheld digital recorder and say the name of the
satellite and time in zulu at the start for reference. I would then
transcribe to paper noting time, call, and grid. NOW i am in the process of
going back to the beginning of time (yr 2000) and using XMlog logging on the
computer. It is s VERY user friendly program that was recommended to me by
John, K6YK and will export an ADI file for uploading to LoTW, QRZ, QRZCQ and
ClubLog.
All of my satellite contacts have been with an HT and number over 4000.

Subject: [amsat-bb] Logging and Recording Passes
In studying videos on the internet and reading emails on the BB, I have
noticed a frequent mention of "recording" passes, and eventually "uploading
to LoTW."
My questions are: What is the most common used way of audio recording: a
digital handheld recorder or computer software of some kind? I will have a
stationary station; not portable handheld.
Is it common to keep a personal log and then upload it to LoTW? If so, what
personal log program is commonly used?
I normally do not use a logging program and certainly not familiar with
LoTW. I looked at it on the ARRL website and it looked complicated. I really
do not understand the process
I listened to a AO-85 pass with my IC-2730A and a Comet GP-6 dual band base
antenna, without any preamp, and was very good copy considering. That was
encouraging.
Any help will be appreciated .
73,
Jerry AB5R

I made five contacts on this SO-50 pass on May 11th, 2015 in Cary,
North Carolina. In the video you can see a picture of me when I was 16
in 2000 with my original Arrow II antenna, the same one I used in this
video in 2015. Additionally, I show 18 unique QSL cards I collected in
2000 when I first got into satellites, while operating on AO-27, SO-35
and UO-14.
Stations contacted on this pass:
1) K4FEG Tennessee
2) N2PPL New York
3) WI9I Illinois
4) W2HRO New Jersey
5) KD8ATF West Virginia
QSL Cards from 2000:

The next several weeks should be very exciting for satellite users across
North and South America as well as Europe.
Starting tomorrow, the CY9C DXpedition will be QRV from St. Paul Island
with great footprints across Europe and North America and it was announced
last night that the YX0V DXpedition to Aves Island, scheduled for August
31st - September 10th, will include satellite operations as well (
http://www.amsat.org/?p=5436). The Caribbean location and flat island
terrain should provide excellent footprints across North and South America.
It's wonderful to see major DXpeditions incorporating satellite activity
into their plans with K1N last year and now two back to back this year.
Let's hope this trend continues. I would encourage all satellite operators
to support these DXpeditions and make it clear in your comments that you
are supporting them due to the inclusion of satellite operations. And
please be respectful and courteous when they are on the satellites. Let's
show them the best of the amateur satellite community with hope that future
DXpeditions will see these examples and also incorporate satellite
operations.
