AA5PK became my very first satellite QSO tonight on AO-92. (After 45 years
as a ham.)
Thanks, Glenn!
This is helpful because it helps me validate that we're making good
progress with Ham Radio Deluxe. (I was using an FT-991A, a Portable
Rotation PR12SAT Az/El rotor and controller, and Elk Antennas... all
controlled by Ham Radio Deluxe.)
Progress!

The last three I sent were added in less than 24 hours. I still hear of the
occasional hiccup, but overall satellites seem to be well integrated and
supported lately. The ARRL should be commended for that improvement.

SAT/LoTW Users,
ARRL does not give much attention to Satellite LoTW users and/or operations
- IMHO. If there is something needing to be done for DXCC-HF, they fall over
themselves working on it - again, IMHO. Maybe we should bombard various
League Officials with e-mails to get their attention? I'm not suggesting
this as a solution, just a question in the recesses of my mind.
Perhaps, a knowledgeable person from the SAT Community could work with a
willing person at the ARRL. They might be able to get things corrected and
up-to-date some day. HIHI

Greetings!
The JY1SAT (JO-97) satellite started transmitting digital image files today
on 145.840 USB. Decoding is accomplished with the ?Funcube? type dashboard
which can be downloaded at:
https://funcube.org.uk/working-documents/funcube-telemetry-dashboard/
This morning?s pass was out over the Atlantic, so I got half of one picture
and one complete image download:

Correction on my previous JY1SAT (JO-97) post regarding today's digital
image downloads...
The second "image" file was not a picture, it was a placeholder for the
underlying digital media file. You can click the little "Play" button
under that graphic to play the audio file right in the dashboard.
Here is the audio that was in the file I downloaded today:

Any homebrew antennas on the horizon? Does 1.2 require mast mounted preamps?

You will not need a mast-mounted pre-amp because 1.2 GHz can legally be
used only as a satellite UPlink. There is nothing to receive there.
AO-92 and ESEO have 1.2 GHz uplinks, for sure. There may be others, as well
-- I'm not up to speed on that right now.

It?s my understanding that in IARU Region 2, the 23cm Satellite sub-band is
transmit-only.

Hi Jim,
In the amateur satellite service, 1.2 GHz is uplink only.? So you don't
have to worry about preamps for receiving satellites, but if you do
terrestrial L band you can consider that separately.
I can only speak for what I know for sure which is AO-92 (and AO-95, but
she is currently on leave).? On days selected by AMSAT Ops (usually
Sunday UTC) AO-92 is in mode L/v which is 1267.350 MHz up and 145.880
Mhz down.? 145.880 is the same downlink as in its normal mode U/v.
You can find out more at

Hi
Jean Gu?rard, from the Office National d'Etudes et de Recherches
A?rospatiales (France), ONERA, asks all those who have the opportunity to
record the latest SpaceCube telemetry frames launched in May 2017.
SpaceCube is expected to disintegrate around March 1, 2019.
The frequency is 436,880 MHz, AFSK modulation 1k2, AX25 mode.
Attention the frames are not decodable, it is therefore requested to record
the audio signal of the satellite and to send it to Jean Gu?rard (

equator-crossing information that was provided by the W1AW bulletins and you
could predict AOS and LOS for Oscar 6 or 7. Pretty neat stuff at the time.

Hi Les,
The Oscar locator and how it works was described in much detail in "The
Satellite Experimenter's Handbook".
This was published by ARRL. You may be able to find a copy around some
where.
It still has a lot of useful information in it even if the satellites
referred to are long gone.
I made up several Oscar-Locators in the early 80s and used them a lot.
I found them the other day when I was having a shack clean out.
To use them you require an "Equatorial Crossing time and longitude" (EQX).
Bob McGwier's (N4HY) Quiktrak program gives these but I haven't checked
any modern programs.
I have a set of instructions but they are based on my Southern
Hemisphere version so would need to be adapted
for use in the Northern Hemisphere.
It would be an interesting exercise to make one for the ISS as an
educational tool versus looking up an app on a smart phone.

Today?s mail brought me a vintage cardboard ?OSCAR-Locator? purchased on
QRZ.com. Also included was a back issue of the Amateur Satellite Report
newsletter, Number 154 from July 27, 1987.
I love collecting items related to the history of amateur satellites.
The OSCAR-Locator is really neat?I?m digging through back issues of QST now
trying to learn how to actually use it. Don?t think I?ll be giving up
SatPC32 anytime soon however.
Remember back even further when hams plotted satellite passes using a

that back in the day.
