Dear friends and fans of GNU Radio,
GNU Radio Conference celebrates and showcases the substantial and
remarkable progress of the world's best open source digital signal
processing framework for software-defined radios. In addition to presenting
GNU Radio?s vibrant theoretical and practical presence in academia,
industry, the military, and among amateurs and hobbyists, GNU Radio
Conference 2019 will have a very special focus.
Summer 2019 marks the 50th anniversary of NASA's Apollo 11 mission, which
landed the first humans on the Moon. GNU Radio Conference selected
Huntsville, AL, USA as the site for GNU Radio Conference 2019 in order to
highlight and celebrate space exploration, astronomical research, and
communication.
Space communications are challenging and mission critical. Research and
development from space exploration has had and continues to have
far-reaching effect on our communications gear and protocols.
Please join us September 16-20, 2019 at the "Huntsville Marriott at the
Space & Rocket Center" hotel for the best technical conference of the year!
Amateur satellite communications has a central place.
Registration and an online and mobile-friendly schedule will be posted at
the conference web site:
https://www.gnuradio.org/grcon/grcon19/
Call for All!
We invite developers and users from the GNU Radio Community to present your
projects, presentations, papers, posters, and problems at GNU Radio
Conference 2019. Submit your talks, demos, and code! Please share this Call
for All with anyone you think needs to read it.
To submit your content for the conference, visit our dedicated conference
submission site at:
https://openconf.org/GRCon19/openconf.php
First round closes 1 July 2019. If accepted, your content will be
immediately scheduled.
Final round closes 1 September 2019. Space permitting. Pun intended.
If you have questions or need assistance with OpenConf, or have content
that doesn't quite fit and you want to talk it over, please write
grcon@????????.???

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
The details of the original OSCAR-Locator was first described by it's
creator, Kay Deskur, K2ZRO (SK), in an
article in the 73 magazine issue dated July 1975. K2ZRO called it "Satellab".
Since the 73 magazine is now in the public domain, electronic issues are
available on the web.
Look for the July 1975 issue at:
https://mikeyancey.com/73mag/index.php
This 73 magazine article was reprinted in the March 1976 AMSAT Newsletter.
It's available on Phil Karn's web site at:
http://www.ka9q.net/newsletters.html
For production quantities of the device, now called OSCAR-Locator, I think
AMSAT might have made some.
I say this because the version I have (which is of very good quality) has
K2ZRO printed on it and AMSAT's name and address.
Later, The ARRL also sold their version. The ARRL printed updated ground
tracks in QST for any new satellites that were launched.
OSCAR-Locators and Satellab all basically worked the same.

Rick,
I like building the Arduino controllers and I load K3NG's code on
them....emulates the Yaesu GS232 nicely. Runs the G5400 and G5500's fine.
Ends up having a USB cable to the PC, and an 8 PIN DIN control cable to
plug into the Rotor control box.
The next one I build will control my HF beam. The interface is versatile.

AMSAT should consider making and selling those all year around once again.
I wouldn't mind buying one myself here in the near distant future as I
refurbish my sat station. I'm sure they do sell a good amount of them
especially around Dayton. Hopefully we see more in stock soon as they are a
very nice piece of equipment to have!

Hi Dave,
a very short description: the lnb is modified for external frequency
referenencing and at the radio end I have a simple high pass filter
for the IF going to the IC-402 (or other), a low pass filter for DC
supply to the LNB and a simple LC series circuit to inject the reference
frequency (26,5 - 28 MHz is OK for reliable locking) up the IF cable.
More detail:
I am using the Octagon OSLO Single LNB OPTIMA which is a PLL LNB with
an original reference crystal of 27 MHz (poor quality, no temperature
control or even compensation). I have made an extremely simple mod to
this by removing the crystal and feeding an external reference
frequency. Most hams seek dual or more output models or drill an
extra hole for connector in order to apply this reference, but after
some experimentation I finally found a stable and reliable way of
extracting the reference frequency from the "L band IF" connector:
http://fletcher.fi/27MHz_BPF_Octagon_Oslo_sized.jpg
The series LC circuit within the LNB MUST be right next to the L band
connector for stability. Also care should be taken in avoiding any
shorts (Polyimide/ Kapton tape etc.). Also, the cover and all screws
MUST be torqued down as the PCB is in compression contact, sandwiched
between the bottom and cover, hence needing excellent 360 degree
microwave grounding all around.
With some reliability, but still risky, you can identify this particular
model of LNB by the "3D"-text on the box. Beware, there is zillions of
versions on the huge market of PLL LNB's and not all are that easy
to modify or perform well at 10.4 GHz.
Here is a quick comparison test I made, using an external, radiative
noise source, flatness maybe +- 1dB or so:
http://fletcher.fi/modified_lo_octagon_oslo_single_lnb_optima_oh2aue_27_02_201
9_sized_annotated.png
So it is quite amazing the 144 MHz IF is also otherwise fine, but the
PLL VCO is REALLY at it's limit of reliable locking (see the other video
on my Youtube channel "oh2aue". At least it just about locked at a few
degrees C below zero ;-) And obviously the gain is also way down
too, maybe 10 dB from my 200 MHz highpass filter in the triplexer.
However, the noise figure has not yet appreciable deteriorated.
Some similar single ouput models others have experimented with are:
"Universal Single-LNB GOLDEN-MEDIA GM-201, 0,1 dB "
"Golden Interstar Universal Single LNB GI-201 Platinum X"
"Goobay 67321"
Typically I use around 40 dB of attenuation in the path in order to
set the receiver AGC knee at a suitable point for pleasant copy. My
attenuators have a T choke affair to bypass the LNB DC supply. There
are also cheap commercial attenuators available, but the largest
values are usually only 12 dB. Then again, homebrewing a 40 dB
attenuator good to beyond 1 GHz is not very trivial either.
There are many models out there that have differing external appearance,
but contain the same electronics and vice versa: there are also models
that have the same external appearance but different electronics. To
confuse things further, the text "PLL LNB" does not imply that that the
electronics are PLL based. And vice versa, no mention of "PLL" does not
mean the LNB is a DRO LO type, rather it can well be synthesized and
crystal controlled.
In the video I am using the Leo Bodnar Dual Output GPS Disciplined
Frequency Reference. Obviously the supplied reference signal has to
be very stable and low phase noise as in e.g. the Octagon LNB above,
the fractional synthesis effectively multiplies by 361.1111111...
multiplying any residual phase noise and jitter by the same order.
At the receiver/radio end I have a very simple triplexing circuit
for LNB DC bias (and 22 kHz/DiSEqC as the case may be), highpassing
the IF from about 200 MHz up plus the 27 MHz series circuit. A lowpass
is also recommended if your reference signal is not pure sine. I only
have sketchbook drawings, but here is an estetically pleasing photo of
OH3FWG's own implementation of such:
http://oh3tr.fi/~oh3fwg/p4a/triplexer.jpg
For my personal experimentation I have also put together a "laboratory
grade" receive system (flat group delay, flat response, impedance
matching for each stage, etc.). This receiver frequency selectively
mixes down the spectra of both transponders to HF (10 - 21MHz) and
there is a video of this receiver feeding my Barlow Wadley XCR-30,
merely because I can :-)
http://fletcher.fi/kiwisdr_eshail2_receiver_29_12_2018.jpg
More on this for inspiration at:
http://fletcher.fi/amsat_oh_rats_eshail_2_satellite_x_band_downlink_pll_lnb_ki
wisdr.htm
All this stuff is great fun, reminds me of listening to the Japanese
lunar orbiter carrier with a paper clip some years back - and yes, there
is a video of this on my channel too.
(Freenode) IRC channels #es'hail-2 and #hearsat are recommended.

Here are the endorsements and new VUCC Satellite Awards issued by the ARRL

If you find errors or omissions. please contact me off-list at
<mycall>@<??????>.com and I'll revise the announcement. This list was
developed by comparing the ARRL .pdf listings for The two months. It's a
visual comparison so omissions are possible. Apologies if your call was not
mentioned.
Thanks to all those who are roving to grids that are rarely on the birds.
They are doing most of the work!
