Hi Scott,
A way to track RS-30 is http://amsat.org.ar/pass.htm?satx=rs-30
I've copied RS-30 CW Beacon, sometimes is active, try when sun is over this
bird.

Hi Hans,
the status ACTIVE does not necessarily mean that the CW beacon is activated
worldwide. However, in Germany I can read the data transfer on request of
the command station in Russia.
Regarding the effort - yes - it is a big time effort. But nevertheless there
are always satellites - and this includes unfortunately all RS-xx (Radio
Sputniks), which neither undergo an IARU frequency coordination or are
willing to publish their telemetry information. I can give you an entire
list... In the end that makes it uninteresting and no one listen to this
satellites anymore - maybe that's the reason for the old date of the last
status.

Betreff: Re: [amsat-bb] Yubileiny RS-30 CW beacon --> bit of a rant
Hi Scott,
Yet another website with amateur satellite info. As a sat beginner you
quickly find out that the amateur satellite world is a very disorganized
place. I know it is an illusion that the perfect information source exists,
but as messy as it is now.......... The same goes for software.
Let's start with names: some use the AMSAT designators (OA-91), others use
common names (Fox-1B), yet others use the NORAD number or the NSSDC ID. So
you have to juggle with naming conventions between different websites and
software/apps.
Then websites: you would think that the AMSAT website has at least the
minimum amount of information on past and present amateur satellites.
First: what AMSAT website? There is AMSAT in the US, AMSAT-UK, AMSAT-EA,
AMSAT-ON...... As the US is usually leading the way, let's go to the
AMSAT-NA site. I am interested in Athenoxat-1 and skCube. Quick
search.......nothing. Ok, to their status page which says: "This web page
was created to give a single global reference point for all users in the
Amateur Satellite Service to show the most up-to-date status of all
satellites as actually reported in real time by users around the world." If
so, why are there only a handful of birds listed? This will confuse the heck
out of sat newbies.
So you send me to the DK3WN site, which seems rather complete and
up-to-date. (BTW, it usually scares me when one person creates such an
extensive and well organized website on which many people rely. What if the
good OM goes SK? The same goes for software, btw). Look up the status of
Yublileiny RS-30? Active! If you dig a bit deeper you will find the last
report from November 2012, so it is obvious that the bird is dead (or
sleeping very deeply). But it is listed as active, which I believe and
subsequently I might waste a lot of time tracking a bird that is not there.
You are right, Scott, you gave me one way to answer my question and I thank
you for that. The "bit of a rant" above is not directed at you, at all, but
I hope it will help make the world a bit better, especially for sat newbies
who read this: if you're confused and a bit frustrated........YOU ARE NOT
ALONE.

The pass I just got on had a much more sedate downlink, with a

QSO with WD9EWK, I was able to get that My Message indication for the first

with no change in my configuration.?
I can certainly report FS-3 was Blue for this pass. Thanks for the QSO,

John,
Normally, working FalconSat-3 should be the same as any
other orbiting digipeater, where you would see a "My
Message" or "My Position" notification on your HT's screen
when you are digipeated. FalconSat-3 sends down so much
data, that it is possible your HT misses the digipeated
packet, or it received it with a series of other packets
so fast you miss the on-screen notification. That's why
I find myself checking the listing of stations heard and
message listings during a FalconSat-3 pass, in case I
missed something.

I've read this document before and it doesn't really answer my question;
that's beyond the scope of the document's intent. However, I trust your
operational experience that the flood of (primarily) PFS3-11 packets is the
manifestation of specific PBBS operations that can only be initiated by user
command sent via the uplink.?

due to a mail problems i've lost the email.
Please apologize if i make a request already done.
Today i have tried to request the directory to the
Falconsat-3 satellite but i geta s response:
NO -5 IK8OZV
Maybe i am missing something in the setups.
Will there bw anyone so kind to pint me to the right way and
Correct my mistakes?

Actually, I think the answer is in there to match my remarks:
"PFS3-11 > QST-1 :<BBS Broadcast>
This is a packet containing information from the file system, either
directory updates or a part of a file.
The words between the < > are inserted to avoid filling up the screen with
potentially unprintable characters and strings of text in a message.
So, it's these packets that you see in response to a directory or file
request. They are the "flood" initiated by ground stations...the other
status type PFS3-11 packets are much less frequent (we can command the bird
to change their frequency, within limits).
Yes, in this case it's safe trust my operational experience ;) Been doing
these birds since AO-16/DO-17/WO-18/LO-19. The basic PBBS is the same, for
all these years. Grateful the Wisp client still runs on Win10!

Subject: [amsat-bb] My two cents on this BBS vs. " A forum"

I am an old ham but new to satellite operations and I?m building a ground
station for a local middle school.
I fully support AMSAT and this BBS. I have been on this BBS for a few
months now looking for information that I could use. I?ve gotten good
responses to my specific questions, but as a resource for newbies, I find it
lacking. This BBS seems to me more of a ?chat line? than a store house of
knowledge.
I would like to suggest that AMSAT create a forum that keeps up to date info
on specific subjects such as active satellites, specific satellites (and
their quirks), basic info for newbies, product reviews, volunteer Elmers,
homebrew projects, buy/sell/trade, etc. In this way, the accumulated
knowledge is stored and searchable and not tossed into the recycle bin.
I would also like to suggest that AMSAT survey its members to get some real
data on their thoughts rather than just having an open ended discussion.
Thanks for listening.

Trevor,
Thanks for the info.
I am fully ready for it this side, both Tx & Rx setup already tested and
antennas already pointed, just waiting for it.
Seems that finally we may have the first GEO.
