Make sure the check box in the upper left hand corner of the guide icon is
checked.
If you still get a loop, log out and back in and you?ll likely see the item

I am using AGW Packet engine and UISS to work both NO84 and RS0ISS? however
recently I have been having problems getting into the digipeater on the ISS.
25 watts of power and a 7 element M2 yagi. Is there a change in the packet
modem on ISS or have they made some modifications that make it more
difficult to access the satellite ?? Thank you? JACK? KC7MG

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"
The QIKCOM-1 module was to be powered by 28 volts after the host spacecraft
deployed its solar panels, charged its batteries and determined that power
was nominal. Since QIKCOM-1 also had a completely separate QIKCOM-11 VHF
beacon and separate antenna to come on over the USA too, and neither have
been heard, we assume the module has not been powered up. Both the host
and QKCOM-1 were delivered about two and a half years ago and spent most of
that time stored on ISS awaiting deployment.
We thank everyone who listened after the deployment on Friday, but since
both transmitters are on common APRS frequencies, monitored routinely in
USA and around the world we will surely see it anyway if it powers up.
Since it was deployed from ISS to avoid re-contact later, then it will be
in essentially the same orbit but going lower. And lower orbits go
faster. Deployed at 0.3 m/s or about 1kph, my guess is it will gain about
20 seconds a week.in front of ISS AOS as a wild guess.

Hey Jack.
I was able to get digipeated on the 1828 UTC pass today, but at times over
the past week or so, it's not seemed to be as strong on RX or TX.
Of course the digipeater was off when they had the space walk the other
day.
I've turned the speaker volume up on some passes recently listening for any
sign of QIKCOM-1... it's totally subjective but the signal from the ISS
hasn't sounded as strong as I've heard in the past. I have also noticed
that I can forget about a digipeat after it has passed my location.
Perhaps the antenna location on the ISS is blocked from certain angles?

I have a problem with my 70cm cir Pol yagi. A feed line got tangled in the
antenna apparently when I moved the antennas from a high angle back to 0
degrees. A driver element was bent and nearly pulled completely out of the
insulator and matching unit. I pushed it back in through the insulator but
the analyzer shows no resonance at frequency. Is it possible to open up the
small matching unit box and repair such a problem or am I destined to buy a
new unit from M2?

A few months ago the digipeater couldn't hear anyone. After turning it
off and on, and/or after a school contact, it started working again.
Paolo Nespoli has been using the Erricson in the Columbus module a lot
lately because he's doing Ham TV contacts in Europe. (The Ham TV
transmitter is also in the Columbus module. If they don't need Ham TV
they tend to use the more dependable/powerful D710 in the Russian
Service module).
It's likely the connections are bad and every time he uses it, it may
change things. In fact in the past the audio levels HAVE been very
very low, so you might not be imagining things. All these problems are
more reasons to donate to ARISS so they can pay for the new
interoperable radio system.

Hi!
I know others have traversed much of Nevada in recent weeks, but I am
planning to also do something like that over the next 2+ days. With the
AMSAT Symposium wrapping up here in Reno, I plan on heading east along
I-80 toward Utah on Monday morning. I hope to be able to activate some
grids (DN00, DN10, DN11, DN20, DN21, DN30) before I stop for the night
somewhere around the Nevada/Utah state line. Tuesday will see a return
trip west across Nevada via US-93 and US-50, where I may be able to
make stops at DM28 and a quick excursion to DM39 inside Utah, before
hitting DM29 and DM19 on the westbound trip back to Reno. I might get
on the air Wednesday morning before returning to the Reno airport for
my flight home, probably from somewhere in DM09 one last time.
It looks like APRS digipeaters cover much of I-80 and US-50 across
Nevada, and I might show up as WD9EWK-9 on web sites like
http://aprs.fi/WD9EWK-9 as I drive around. I will also use my @xxxxxx
Twitter account to send out updates. If you don't use Twitter, you
can still view my tweets in a web browser at:
http://twitter.com/WD9EWK
I have already uploaded my logs to Logbook of the World from the past
few days' operating around Reno and Lake Tahoe. I'll do the same for
the QSOs logged in the next couple of days, but I might not get them
into LOTW right after each pass. Please be patient with the LOTW
uploads.
73!
