Jim Wilson, K5ND and myself, N5HYP will be teaching Radio Merit Badge
classes at Camp Wisdom, Dallas, TX, EM12 Tuesday, March 13 and Wednesday,
March 14th.   We will be using the K2BSA/5 call.  Our plan is to do one
AO-91 pass a day.  On Tuesday we will be doing the 19:47Z AOS Western US
pass and on Wednesday, the 18:33Z AOS pass favoring the eastern US.  We
should have 15 scouts with us each time so please give us a call and a shout
out to the boys and maybe we will get them to shout back.

73,

Tom Schuessler, N5HYP

Just purchased the SDR Play and using HDSDR for the software. I plan on
using this for. FM and Linear sats.

I was trying this system out today on the FM sats, and used my D72 to
transmit. The sound coming from my HDSDR doesn?t seem as clear as my D72.

What are some tips and tricks (settings) in HDSDR to clear up some of the

Any hints in general would be appreciated.

Paul,
I also have the SDR Play amongst other SDR dongles. My experience was
similar to what you are describing with HDSDR. I could never get it sounding
anywhere as clear as my Icom. I tried every setting possible.I found SDR
Console-ver3 to be much cleaner sounding. I have tried multiple SDR programs
and keep coming back to SDR Console as it has been very simple to setup and
easy to understand. The user interface is more like using a real radio with
greater capabilities. It's free. The programmer takes any amount of
donations has Simon needs to feed his dog.

I'd also absolutely recommend SDR-Console -- out of all the programs I've
used with my RSP2, I like SDR-Console the best. I've tried CubicSDR,
SDRAngel, SDRuno, SDR#, and HDSDR and found SDR-Console to be my favorite.

There are others on here much more familiar with SDR than I am however I
would check your filter settings and your bandwidth settings. I have an SDR
play and people sound just perfect there's nothing wrong with the way they
sound so I'm guessing you have a filter or something somewhere. Also check
out SDR Uno it's free for sdrplay and it's a very very very powerful SDR
program and it's free so doesn't hurt to check it out. Starting out,
however, hdsdr is probably the way to go. Just understand that there's other
software that can unlock a lot more potential in your SDR.

The ITU Radio Regulations restrict the amateur satellite service
allocation at 1260 MHz - 1270 MHz to earth to space only.
Domestically, the FCC has implemented that restriction in Part 97.

I'm using an Alinco DJ-G7T and a 16 element yagi myself. It's not
quite enough for horizon to horizon access, but I've made 54 QSOs on
AO-92 in L/v mode with it.

Yes. The applicable excerpt for amateur satellites from 47 CFR ?97.207:

(g) The license grantee of each space station must make the following
written notifications to the International Bureau, FCC, Washington, DC
20554.

(1) A pre-space notification within 30 days after the date of launch
vehicle determination, but no later than 90 days before integration of
the space station into the launch vehicle. The notification must be in
accordance with the provisions of Articles 9 and 11 of the
International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Radio Regulations and must
specify the information required by Appendix 4 and Resolution No. 642
of the ITU Radio Regulations. The notification must also include a
description of the design and operational strategies that the space
station will use to mitigate orbital debris, including the following
information:

(i) A statement that the space station licensee has assessed and
limited the amount of debris released in a planned manner during
normal operations, and has assessed and limited the probability of the
space station becoming a source of debris by collisions with small
debris or meteoroids that could cause loss of control and prevent
post-mission disposal;

(ii) A statement that the space station licensee has assessed and
limited the probability of accidental explosions during and after
completion of mission operations. This statement must include a
demonstration that debris generation will not result from the
conversion of energy sources on board the spacecraft into energy that
fragments the spacecraft. Energy sources include chemical, pressure,
and kinetic energy. This demonstration should address whether stored
energy will be removed at the spacecraft's end of life, by depleting
residual fuel and leaving all fuel line valves open, venting any
pressurized system, leaving all batteries in a permanent discharge
state, and removing any remaining source of stored energy, or through
other equivalent procedures specifically disclosed in the application;

(iii) A statement that the space station licensee has assessed and
limited the probability of the space station becoming a source of
debris by collisions with large debris or other operational space
stations. Where a space station will be launched into a low-Earth
orbit that is identical, or very similar, to an orbit used by other
space stations, the statement must include an analysis of the
potential risk of collision and a description of what measures the
space station operator plans to take to avoid in-orbit collisions. If
the space station licensee is relying on coordination with another
system, the statement must indicate what steps have been taken to
contact, and ascertain the likelihood of successful coordination of
physical operations with, the other system. The statement must
disclose the accuracy?if any?with which orbital parameters of
non-geostationary satellite orbit space stations will be maintained,
including apogee, perigee, inclination, and the right ascension of the
ascending node(s). In the event that a system is not able to maintain
orbital tolerances, i.e., it lacks a propulsion system for orbital
maintenance, that fact should be included in the debris mitigation
disclosure. Such systems must also indicate the anticipated evolution
over time of the orbit of the proposed satellite or satellites. Where
a space station requests the assignment of a geostationary-Earth orbit
location, it must assess whether there are any known satellites
located at, or reasonably expected to be located at, the requested
orbital location, or assigned in the vicinity of that location, such
that the station keeping volumes of the respective satellites might
overlap. If so, the statement must include a statement as to the
identities of those parties and the measures that will be taken to
prevent collisions;

(iv) A statement detailing the post-mission disposal plans for the
space station at end of life, including the quantity of fuel?if
any?that will be reserved for post-mission disposal maneuvers. For
geostationary-Earth orbit space stations, the statement must disclose
the altitude selected for a post-mission disposal orbit and the
calculations that are used in deriving the disposal altitude. The
statement must also include a casualty risk assessment if planned
post-mission disposal involves atmospheric re-entry of the space
station. In general, an assessment should include an estimate as to
whether portions of the spacecraft will survive re-entry and reach the
surface of the Earth, as well as an estimate of the resulting
probability of human casualty.

(v) If any material item described in this notification changes before
launch, a replacement pre-space notification shall be filed with the
International Bureau no later than 90 days before integration of the
space station into the launch vehicle.

(2) An in-space station notification is required no later than 7 days
following initiation of space station transmissions. This notification
must update the information contained in the pre-space notification.

(3) A post-space station notification is required no later than 3
months after termination of the space station transmissions. When
termination of transmissions is ordered by the FCC, the notification
is required no later than 24 hours after termination of transmissions.
