If anyone would like to see how the WiSP software handles uploading &
downloading files to FalconSat-3, I made a video of the highest elevation
pass tonight:
https://youtu.be/9spO1e8NVj0
... I don't understand it all yet, but am seeing some uploads & downloads.
I keep UISS open and ready in case anyone is active w/ APRS packets, but on
this pass I didn't transmit from UISS to give the MSPE program from WiSP
maximum time to work.
There's a little explanation in the notes below the video on YouTube if you
click "SHOW MORE" on that page.

Subject: [amsat-bb] APRS Satellites (QIKCOM-1 a GO for this Friday AM)
QIKCOM-1 should deploy from the ISS Friday at 0920 UTC or so attached to the
SIMPL spacecraft. It is an APRS digipeater just like the ISS and also
supports the same ARISS alias as the ISS digipeater. Or you can be specific
via QIKCOM-1 callsign. At 4 Watts, it will be 10 dB stronger than
PSAT(84) and about the same power level as ISS and should be easy to receive
on the 145.825 downlink.
We ask all potential IGates to check your ground stations and make sure they
are ready to IGate packets during those initial orbits from all over the
globe. If you do not have an IGate, just capture packets and email them to
qikcom1@xxxxx.xxx until we see that everything is making it to the APRS-IS.
The downlink should be available on the original http://pcsat.findu.com and
also on http://59.167.159.165/satreporter/index2.html
Being released from ISS, QIKCOM-1 will of course have the same Elements and
tracking info as ISS until they begin to separate. This means passes over
the USA every 90 minutes beginning at 0630 EDT in the Southeast and ending
after 1440 PDT in Southern California.
Web page: http://aprs.org/qikcom-1.html
As usual, QIKCOM-1 is not intended for UNATTENDED BEACONS. It is designed
for Live Operations and experiments only.
For the initial passes, do not attempt 2-way contacts. Just set your STATUS
text to indicate your TX power and antenna type and transmit at 1m intervals
ATTENDED as described on the web page during these first few orbits. So we
can get sttistices on uplink quality.

PSAT has entered safe mode with the digipeater OFF. It will show the
PSAT-1 callsign until sun angles improve..
QIKCOM-1 might deploy from the ISS this coming Friday. It will simply
digipeat just like the ISS using the same ARISS alias as the ISS digipeater.
It will be 10 dB stronger than PSAT and about the same power level as ISS
and should be easy to receive. All are on the 145.825 downlink. It should
also digipeat on its own callsign QIKCOM-1 if you want to hit it
specifically.
We ask all potential IGates to check your ground stations and make sure they
are ready to IGate packets during those initial orbits from all over the
globe. If you do not have an IGate, just capture packets and hold them
until we see if any are missing from the APRS-IS. Downlinks should be
available on the original http://pcsat.findu.com and also on
http://59.167.159.165/satreporter/index2.html

Congratulations to ARISS - EI on completing 2 fantastic ISS QSO's, from
Tallaght in Dublin and Glanmire in Cork.
Here are my recordings of both, Im currently holidaying in Cyprus, but was
able to hear the very end of the Tallaght QSO from Paphos.
Both recordings were from my remote station in the UK.

Hi All,
I apologize for my lack of timely responses for many of you that have
emailed me personally about getting WISP running on FalconSAT-3. I've been
overwhelmed.
Today I scanned and posted the chapter on WISP from Gould Smith's 2005
Digital Satellite & Telemetry Guide to the FalconSAT-3 page on amsat.org. I
hope it is helpful to everyone diving back into this excellent program from
the past.
It can be found near the bottom of the page at

We have not heard from QIKCOM-1 but since we asked users to include their
Power and Antenna gain and beacon once a minute for these few passes, we
are going to finish the day by seeing what we hear from ISS.
We already see a few people giving that data, so we are going to switch
our uplink from the path of APRSAT back to the path of ARISS for the
remainder of the day. This will give us all an idea of what hits ISS and
what does not. I've seen these so far:
WN9Q>CQ,RS0ISS*,qAR,WA8LMF-SG::APRSAT :5w 14el klm cross yagi
KB6LTY-3>CQ,RS0ISS*,qAR,W0ARP-15:=3429.70N/11712.30W- power 20W - 9.2 dbi
beam- DM14jl
Attended packets only to end of today's test.
