All, I just updated the AO-92 schedule at
https://www.amsat.org/satellite-schedules/

AO-92 operations are scheduled among the U/v FM repeater, L-Band
Downshifter, Virginia Tech Camera, and the University of Iowa's High Energy
Radiation CubeSat Instrument (HERCI). Please keep the uplink clear during
passes with scheduled mode changes.

For the week of 31Mar-6Apr 2018, the following mode changes are scheduled:

Approximately 0155UTC 1Apr we will enable the L band uplink for ~24 hours

Approximately 1650UTC 5Apr we will enable the VT camera and high-speed data
for ~40 minutes. Please be ready to copy high-speed data with FoxTelem, and
keep the uplink clear at 1650UTC.

All other times the U/v repeater will be open continuously.

ISS HamTV also has a 2.4 GHz downlink which is on most of the time but
only transmitting a blank signal (no live video).

Hi friends,

Philip Jenkins N4HF, and I will be representing AMSAT tomorrow at the
Raleigh Amateur Radio Society Hamfest (RARSfest). We will have a booth
with AMSAT merchandise and I will be doing satellite demos outside.

I am planning on working these passes from grid square FM05:

FO-29 @ 1220 UTC
AO-92 @ 1519 UTC
AO-91 @ 1648 UTC

FO-29 is an experiment as I've only worked it once making two contacts
so far, but I plan to use my Portable Rotation Az/El rotator so I can
focus on tuning the frequency. I only committed to RARS, and they only
put on the schedule, the AO-91 and AO-92 passes, so if I can't get
things working for some reason on FO-29, it's no big deal, but I am
personally excited about the opportunity to make it work so would
appreciate any operators who will try to work me. I will probably try
to stay in the center of the passband to make it easy for me.

One thing to mention is that in order for us to be easily
findable/seen by the attendees we will be doing the demos close to the
building the hamfest is inside, so for certain parts of the pass we
may not be able to get in at all as the bird is behind the building,
so hang in there if you don't hear us (really me) immediately.

I will be using my callsign for the demos.

I may send out updates on any additional passes I might try to do or
other changes on my Twitter account:

Hi John,
Tweet your FO-29 2m uplink freq before the event.? If people looking for you
transmit on that freq as well then their downlink should be very close to
yours.? It makes it easier to find you.? For example,? I usually Tweet that
I will transmit on 145.920.
73 and good luck tomorrow!

Thanks Ken,

I want to do it right in the middle of the pass band, so if my math is
right, that would be 145.950 MHz.

Please don?t set up right in the middle of the passband. FO-29 has a 100
kHz wide passband, yet people all cram right into the center and talk over
each other.

Spread out!

Gridders, etc.,

All of my EM Grid roving QSOs from 2/20-3/27/18
are now uploaded to LoTW. Direct QSLs with SASE
are A-OK, also. Sorry, but no eQSL since registering
over 100 different Grids on their system is too much
of a PITA.

Hopefully, some of you got new ones since that's
the primary reason I rove. Personally, I'm not in
the chase for U.S. 488, but I endeavor to help
those who are.

If there are errors or missing Qs, let me know in an
e-mail with the details. It's easily possible since
folks often do not use phonetics or the proper ones
and/or they do not speak numbers individually. Plus,
we all know the QRM and lack of courtesy that happens
all too often on the FM SATs.

See www.qrz.com/db/K8BL for more of my info.

I'm working on a weird issue here.

Using SATPC32 vers 12.8d with Win 10 here. Radio is an FT-847.

The program no longer sees a change of the main VFO tuning knob and
adjusts my uplink. The uplink up/dwn buttons on the main screen work fine.

My radio is an early model, but the serial # is 8Lxxxx so it has the
bi-directional CAT port.

Also, the rig works fine with OmniRig and HDSDR. HDSDR follows the rig
main VFO flawlessly.

I had experimented setting the program up to use my FT-736R for 1.2 G as
the second radio, but have turned that off. (Radio #2 set to NONE)

I have to be doing something incredibly foolish. Any ideas?

Tnx,
Mike

You can see the live track of Taengong to re-enter in the next 24 hours on
http://www.heavens-above.com/

Just remember, as it suffers increased drag, it will speed up and be ahead
of classic predictions.

But at least you can see when you are under the orbit as to whether it is
worth going outside.  I 'd go out several minutes before the prediction
since we dont know how quickly they are updating the elements as it speeds
up.

and even if it is daytime, you will see it if it comes in in your area...

DTUSat-2 (object 40030) is operating at 2401.835 MHz sending a full or
partial beacon every 30 seconds. Since the Doppler is 100 KHz over the
entire pass, it's tricky copying it with a traditional receiver such as an
FT-847 (Doppler correction has to be right on). It's best seen with a SDR.
Since its batteries are dead, it signals cannot be heard in eclipse. Its in
an almost perfect polar orbit and can be copied around noon daily everywhere
on earth. It is listed in the AMSAT keps and  pass predictions. Also see
http://wakky.asablo.jp/blog/


Also, I've heard that the ISS sends out a very strong video carrier at 2395
MHz (my converter will not tune that low).

I asked a ham in Italy to check it out and he indicated it is always on.


I hope this helps.

Greetings!

Can a simple circuit or OTS accessory add the 67hz PL tone to a radio mixing
w/ microphone in?

 I purchased an ICOM IC-X2 from ebay to get access to the L-band and my
Japanese was pretty rusty and so I didn?t realize it appears the PL tone
squelch was optional on non-US variants of the radio.

(At least I cannot seem to invoke it thru the menu navigation)

It?s an awesome little radio and was a great deal.   Is there any way I can
build something to inject the 67hz myself?

Todd,

If there are others on the satellite, they can keep it open. While we
recommend all stations utilize a 67 Hz tone, it does not need to be present
on each transmission.
