Jack, it was an honor to be your 50th state for WAS Satellite. I never
thought Connecticut would be rare on any band or mode! QSO has already been
matched on LOTW. Congratulations! Now get that certificate!
Thanks for posting the recording, Fernando. That's a nice treat to have in
the archives.
If anybody else needs Connecticut, I'm happy to make skeds.

Hey Roy,
This is the third harmonic of "DB0WA", which you can see (and also hear)
in this waterfall.
There might be some CW between 300 and 400 sec showing IRVINE-01, but
unfortunately this is not audible.
Best regards,
Patrick, DL4PD

Hi Patrick,
IRVINE01 is sending "IRV1" every 41 seconds. You can here a sample here:

Fred, VE3FAL, is in Sioux Lookout EO53 waiting
on an airplane to take him to Kasabonika. He is in
EO53 now and will be on the AO91 pass starting at 1802utc.
Short notice but great pass. Fred is now using LOTW.
Good luck

The information below is from the ARISS webpage:

International Space Station Astronauts are Calling CQ ARISS Students
??? ARISS-US program?s education proposal window open Oct. 1 - Nov. 30, 2018
?
September 25, 2018:? ARISS is seeking proposals beginning October 1, 2018
from US schools, museums, science centers and community youth organizations
(working individually or together) to host amateur radio contacts with an
orbiting crew member aboard the International Space Station (ISS) between
July 1 and December 30, 2019.
?
Each year, ARISS provides tens of thousands of students with learning
opportunities about space technologies, communications, and much more
through the exploration of Amateur Radio and space. ARISS has been pleased
of late, to be one of many possibilities of interest to educators during
NASA?s A Year of Education on Station, which celebrates an almost 12-month
presence of a teacher aboard the ISS.? The ARISS program connects students
to astronauts on the ISS through a partnership between NASA, the Radio
Amateur Satellite Corporation, the American Radio Relay League, other
Amateur Radio global organizations and the worldwide space agencies. The
program?s goal is to inspire students to pursue interests and careers in
science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and in Amateur Radio.
?
Educators report regularly that student participation in the ARISS program
stimulates interest in STEM subjects and STEM careers. One educator wrote,
?Many of the middle school students who took part in and attended the ARISS
contact have selected science courses in high school as a result of that
contact.?? Educators are setting up ham radio clubs in schools and learning
centers because of students? interest.
?
ARISS is looking for organizations that will draw large numbers of
participants and integrate the contact into a well-developed, exciting
education plan. Students can learn about satellite communications, wireless
technology, science research conducted on the ISS, radio science, and other
STEM subjects. Students learn to use Amateur Radio to talk directly to an
astronaut and ask their STEM-related questions. ARISS will help educational
organizations locate Amateur Radio groups who can assist with equipment for
a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for students.
?
The proposal window opens October 1, 2018 and the proposal deadline is
November 30, 2018.
For proposal guidelines and forms and more details, visit:
http://www.ariss.org/hosting-an-ariss-contact-in-the-us.html
?
Proposal webinars for guidance and getting questions answered will be
offered October 11 and October 23, 2018, both at 8 pm Eastern Time. Advance
registration is necessary. To sign up, go to:
ariss-proposal-webinar-fall-2018.eventbrite.com/

It is planned to launch 15 microsatellites and 56 cubesats on this mission.
Several of those satellites will have amateur radio payloads.

Well here I am back begging for info on what UFH downlink 9k6 sats are

Fox-1Cliff Launch ? Your Help is Needed!
*** Please share this information through all of your club and group
news outlets! ***
Following the successful launch and deployment of Fox-1Cliff, all
amateur radio satellite enthusiasts can play an important part in the
commissioning of the new satellite. Telemetry helps us tremendously,
starting ASAP after startup (~59 minutes after deployment*) and for
the next 72-96 hours at least (for the life of the satellite is
preferred!) as we look for successful startup, watch the general
health and function as the satellite begins to acclimate to space,
and start to perform the on orbit checkout. The first station to
successfully receive and submit telemetry to the AMSAT server will
receive a special 3D printed QSL card acknowledging their
contribution.
If you are capturing telemetry with FoxTelem, please be sure that
?Upload to Server? is checked in your settings and your Ground
Station Params are filled in as well. You can help AMSAT and everyone
waiting to get on the air with Fox-1Cliff tremendously, by capturing
Fox-1Cliff telemetry.
In the initial Safe Mode after startup, which we actually call Beacon
Mode, the transmitter is limited to 10 seconds on time then does the
two minutes off cycle. For those of you capturing telemetry, that
means that you will only see Current frames and no High or Low frames
because the High and Low are truncated as it takes just over 10
seconds to send two frames. You will hear Veronica announcing
?Fox-1Cliff Safe Mode? while in Beacon Mode.
We will likely leave the satellite in Beacon Mode for 24 hours to
observe power telemetry. If we are seeing good readings from what you
gather, when it comes over the U.S. for the first good pass after
that holding period we will command it from Beacon Mode to normal
Safe Mode. That puts Fox-1Cliff in full (still Safe Mode though)
operation and transmits a full two frames of telemetry which is one
Current frame followed by, and alternating each ID cycle, a High or a
Low frame.
We will begin the rest of the in orbit checklist activities at that
time, and it is expected to take 7 to 10 days given the Thanksgiving
holiday.
Help your friends and all of our satellite ham friends get on the air
and have fun sooner by being polite and patient!
The in orbit checkout procedure is similar to Fox-1D and could be
completed in as little as 7 days if we have the cooperation of the
users. It is very important, not to mention just plain good Amateur
Operating Practice, to refrain from using the transponder uplink so
we can do the on orbit tests, including when we turn on transponder
mode for testing. I cannot stress enough, the importance of this
cooperation not just for us but also for all users, simply having a
little patience so we can conduct the tests as quickly and accurately
as possible.
AMSAT will make it broadly known when the tests are complete and the
transponder is available for all to use. If you hear someone on the
transponder, please do not assume that it is open for general use ?
check our website, Facebook, Twitter, to be sure you are not
accidentally jumping in with and unwittingly causing interference as
well.
Many hams put thousands of volunteer hours of their time into making
Fox-1Cliff happen. Just like any ham radio project you might
undertake, we build satellites. We do it because we like to, and when
we are done, we freely share our project with hams everywhere as is
the spirit of amateur radio. I have to say though, that the incidents
we have experienced in the past with stations intentionally
disregarding the command stations requests to keep the frequency
clear during testing not only delays the commissioning, but also
negatively impacts the enthusiasm that our volunteers feel toward
handing over a new bird to the members and users as soon as possible.
I am asking all satellite hams to contribute just a little bit of
your time to the fun now, by being patient and just gathering
telemetry, not using the transponder uplink, and helping us complete
the last few days of getting Fox-1Cliff in orbit and operating for
all of you.
Thank you very much, see you on the bird!

Here are a couple of great lists that show frequency, modulation type, &
whether the sat is still active or not. No shortage of transmitters in the
UHF band!

Hi,
Thanks to David Bowman, G0MRF was have a provisional set of Keplerian
Elements for JY1Sat to be launched on Monday 19th,
1 05555U 18001A 18323.01450000 .00000000 00000-0 18000-5 0 9991
2 05555 98.2000 30.5000 0000000 225.0000 130.3444 14.97380000 10
These are based on our best guess based on the orbital parameters we have
gleaned from various sources.
Please note that SatPC32 and GPredict may give erroneous results because the
Epoch is in the future.
Nova & MacDopplerPro are both fine.
