I'm more curious about VK. It's been 47 years since they've put something in
orbit. Maybe on the 50 year anniversary we can expect something?

I own a Kenwood TS-2000 and that is my main satellite rig. The birdie will
affect any radio near the TS-2000 on 436.795 ( I have tried that ) so for
me using a totally different radio is the best way to work SO-50. In my
case I use a Yaesu FT-5200, I paid $100 for it and it's a great FM
fullduplex mobile radio, I also have the Icom IC-w32a but I prefer to use
the FT-5200.
Those are my two cents on the TS-2000 birdie issue.

The cheapest way to work SO50 with the TS2000 is to get a $25 Baofeng, and
a coax switch, and use the Baofeng for receive on SO50 passes. That is
what I have been doing.

It's a birdie on all of the 2000's I think... But that is an FM bird, so
I just listen to that downlink on a different FM mobile radio

Mike,
I don't have a TS-2k, but it does have a separate RX input. At least one
person mentioned using it with a separate RX converter on SO-50 which gets
around the internal birdie. Probably not a cost effective solution unless
you happen to have one laying around.
As for a new Kenwood, I have been asking them that for years, literally.
The answer in the past has always been that it is under active
consideration. Real Soon Now.

I understood that AO-7 is for the moment still in complete sunlight and as
such, should be switching back and forth between Mode A/B every 24 hours or
so.. Looking though at the amsat.org Satellite Status page, I see no
evidence of this. If it is changing, does anyone know when UTC that is
happening?

Oct 15 - Nov 21 is the period of constant sunlight.
Look for it to switch to Mode A some time on Oct 16th.

Just got home and ran Illum. The last eclipse will be at 0211 UTC on
October 14th. Assuming there are no other periods of partial eclipse
that cause it to lose power (a distinct possibility), the 24 hour
timer would switch it to Mode A at 0211 UTC on October 15th.

Guess if this is a real birdie (internal beat frequency) I am up the
creek. If in the radio design cannot be changed. I heard Kenwood might be
releasing a new satellite rig at Dayton next year. Any rumors out there? So
think I answered my question and the TS-2000 cannot be used for SO-50 TNX

Subject: [amsat-bb] WSJT-X FT8 QSO confirmed between W2JAZ and W5RKN
on FO-29
Message-ID: <3A7D06C991F8410CA7ED4E16DA055DD0@xxxxxxxxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"
A few days ago, Rick, W2JAZ, asked me if the new, short, weak signal
protocol, FT8, could be used on satellites. I posited it might work near
AOS or LOS where the Doppler corrections are small. FT8 is operationally
similar to the older protocols but four times faster (15-second T/R
sequences) and less sensitive by a few dB.
So we set out to configure our satellite stations to use WSJT-X with FT8.
With some configuration advice from W0DHB, we each got our systems
configured. Mine (W5RKN) is a Flex-6500 with two DEMI transverters running
SmartSDR, SatPC32, FlexSATPC, and WSJT-X. Rick?s (W2JAZ) is a Flex-5000
with U/V module, running PowerSDR, SatPC32, FlexSATPC, and WSJT-X.
After a couple runs on AO-7 without success, we tried again tonight on the
0220Z (14 Oct) pass of FO-29. I started out at my AOS calling CQ W5RKN
EM10. After several transmissions without success, the reply W5RKN W2JAZ
FN29 popped up on the screen. Then followed the usual signal report, RRR
and 73 transmissions.
As soon as I can figure out the appropriate fields for LoTW, we?ll log the
QSO there.
I am not aware of other WSJT-X QSOs on the satellites, so I?d be interested
in other?s experiences,
Ron and Rick

Bob,
Perhaps you could use it for moon bounce. You could at least listen to
the DL0SHF 10 GHz EME beacon (http://www.pa0ehg.com/dl0shf_beacon.htm).
It has been demonstrated to be doable with an RTLSDR dongle and and LNB:
https://www.rtl-sdr.com/receiving-10-ghz-reflected-moon-beacon-rtl-sdr/
I hope to do something similar in the future, but I'm currently too busy
and having too much fun with the LEO satellites.

I believe tha Ron, W5RKN and I will soon try MSK144 on FO29 as well as the
other linear sats especially the XW series birds as I believe there is
promise there as well for both modes.

Es?HailSat is a Qatari satellite. They donated space and power on their
satellite. That?s worth millions of dollars.
No one else has donated that to the amateur radio community. We wish they
would, but it seems we?ll need to raise millions of dollars to do it over
the Western Hemisphere.
Keep in mind that total donations worldwide for Phase 3D were around $4
million. That was collected over more than a decade and worldwide. The
amateur community has shown no ability to raise the millions of dollars
necessary for a Phase 3 or Phase 4 satellite.

Being an ex VK, you should know better and check the ACMA database
before making statements like "No person with last name "Rich" with a
VK4 Callsign"

I agree, however your original post does not clarify that.
