Message-ID:

Content-Type: text/plain;charset=iso-8859-1
Hi All
There has been some digital activity today on Oscar 100.
I had to change uplink LO yesterday to a non-locked crystal controlled
source, which has some small drift. This is making it impossible for me
to use narrow tone spacing modes such as FT8 and JT65A. During a QSO with
OZ1CTZ we were struggling with him decoding me on JT65A and he switched to
JT65C after which the QSO proceeded perfectly.
My drift problem on transmit is probably similar to that which would be
experienced by unlocked Octagon users, so choosing a digi mode that is
more immune to drift seems desirable.
I did some testing here earlier using the Goonhilly SDR to feed audio to
WSJT-X on a second PC and found also that JT9F (Fast) works extremely well
with 100% reliable decoding. I've been testing with 10s periods mainly,
but 5s also works. With these faster modes, drift will have less effect.
JT9F is available in WSJT-X and needs to be run with VHF and up features
enabled to access the 'Fast' checkbox.
For JT65 users, I would recommend WSJT-X v2 over earlier releases, as the
JT65 decoder was improved recently to cope with larger drift rates.
If anyone is interested in trying this out, pse PM me and would be very
happy to try it.

Message-ID: <00d201d4c456$90341170$b09c3450$@?????.???>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
All,
The ARISS team expects that a second SSTV transmission event will occur from
ISS this weekend.
ARISS Russia team member Sergey Samburov, RV3DR, worked with the mission
control center flight controllers to schedule in ISS crew member time to
configure the JVC Kenwood radio to support SSTV operations in the Service
Module. SSTV setup is expected to start around 8:45 UTC on February 15 and
conclude around 17:25 UTC on February 17. These dates/times are
expectations and may vary.
The ARISS team wanted to give the community another opportunity to downlink
the SSTV images we developed for you given the weak signal situation that
occurred last weekend. For clarity, these will be the same 12 images that
were downlinked last weekend.
As a reminder, you can get the latest SSTV information on the ARISS SSTV
Blog Spot: <http://ariss-sstv.blogspot.com/>
http://ariss-sstv.blogspot.com/ Once received, Images can be posted and
viewed by the public at
<http://www.spaceflightsoftware.com/ARISS_SSTV/index.php>
http://www.spaceflightsoftware.com/ARISS_SSTV/index.php And you can
receive a special SSTV ARISS Award for posting your image. See
<https://ariss.pzk.org.pl/sstv/> https://ariss.pzk.org.pl/sstv/. For
simplicity, we have added a new tab for SSTV, under general contacts, on the
ARISS web site <http://www.ariss.org> www.ariss.org
For those that are asking, we are still not totally clear what caused the
issue last weekend. We believe it may have been either a loose feedline
cable or an antenna switch that did not fully engage. Once the crew reset
the system and checked the cabling and switches, the radio system started to
perform nominally.
Enjoy!!

Before commiting to a new TM-V71A, as it does not have CAT control
is there a way to do Doppler correction other than manually selecting
pre-programmed memory channels? In other words would it be possible to
computer control the frequency from Gpredict or the Fox Telemetry
software?

Golly, that brings back memories.
I used one of those made for TV big ugly dishes to receive AO-40 since I got
that dish for free. I was the az-el rotor via the Armstrong method. I ran a
long wire for an extension speaker out by the dish. That way I could tune
the beacon in the shack and trot out to maneuver az-el for the strongest
sound.
Heck, if it wasn't too windy I didn't need to tighten the nut down on the
bottom of the dish. I did keep a wrench back there with my speaker though. I
left the dish pointing at that spot in the sky when the signal disappeared
like a memorial ;-)

On FM at 70cm at most you have to adjust the frequency four times as a sat
passes over you.
I'm not aware of any way to computer control it but it is not a big deal on
FM at 70cm. 2m downlink you might adjust twice at most with Fox birds. Not
required to on 2m uplink on SO-50 at all.
I have that radio and it is great for FM sats.

Alan,
Thanks for the heads up on the R&L Electronics price on the IC-9700. HRO
matched the price $1799.95. So my $200 back will go for my 1.2 GHZ coax.

R&L Electronics has announced $1799.95 with free USA shipping. Looking
better. No information on shipping date.

Copy and paste from the SatPC32 Download page...
*1.* If you want to test the *SatPC32 *programs you can download the
*present* *German* or *English* version *12.8d*.The program will be
installed as Demo version. The only restricition of the Demo: The user's
QTH coordinates can not be stored for the main program SatPC32.Exe, but
have to be entered at every program start.
I guess the only thing you're missing is the warm and fuzzy feeling for
