Thanks Paul!  We have a lot of exciting upgrades to the ISS Radio system
coming up.  And we are in the expensive fabrication and testing phase right
now.  So every dollar counts!!

To answer a couple of the APRS questions out there:

The system has been down recently because of the Soyuz docking.  We now have
an additional 3 crew members on ISS--a total of 6.  We hope to have the
radio system turned back on soon.  We were waiting for the docking to occur
for the crew to do a power cycle.

We did launch and replace the old packet module with a "new" old flight
backup unit.  As some have pointed out, its characteristics are a bit
different from the old one.  Some have said that it is deaf.  Note that when
these were built in the late 1990's the radio system was set up with a tight
3 kHz deviation for packet.  The suggestion to tighten up your deviation may
improve your ability to better communicate with the system.  In the
meantime, the ARISS team is focused on getting the next-generation radio
system built and flown.

You can even make a small recurring monthly donation if you prefer.
Every penny counts!

And you can make it without all the connectors at the T if you want.
Though it takes some close and inventive soldering of the "T".  Since the
FM band is 88 to 108 that (I think) is far enough from 145 to add minimum
loss.  But at UHF, one needs to carefully check to make sure that the FM
frequency is not also a multiple of the FM frequency.

Tell us the FM broadcast frequency and we can take a quick look.

Hi Hans,

If you have a plenty of RG213 and suitable connectors, you could try
making a Coax stub filter.
You need a cable length that is an odd multiple of a quarter wave length
long at the FM Tx frequency and an even multiple of a quarter wave at the
frequency that you want (2M /70CMs).
A single RG213 stub would have about 25dB of rejection and would pass 100
Watts OK.
You just need a coax T connector and some matching connectors.
To trim the stub, use a set of garden secateurs.
If you have a Bao feng or similar radio you could use that on the FM band
attached to your T and trim the stub for minimum signal on the unwanted Tx
frequency.

I haven't run the calculations for how long the stub should be but if it's
useful I could do so.

Subject: [amsat-bb] Shoppinglist

My sis-in-law will be visiting from the States soon and I usually make her
bring some stuff for me so I can save on freight costs. She will
definitely bring an Arrow Antenna so I can start some portable operations.
A Sony voice recorder is also on my list, as well as some coax cable
(RG-400 is what I'm thinking of. Really expensive here).
Don't have a budget for much more, but since I have a clear line-of-sight
to some 10 kW FM transmitters from my QTH I thought I should at least get
a good FM-band notch filter.

Any recommendations on where to buy this in the US? I haven't found
anything when I googled, not even a lot of 2/70 band pass filters, or low
pass filters to prevent desensing on 70 cm. My own creations have a too
high insertion loss, so this time I really want something a bit more
professional and something that can handle at least 100 Watts of power.
Any recommendations are welcome. Cheers. --Hans BX2ABT

I've about completed Mark Spencer's WRAPS (tricked out version) AZ/EL
rotator system.  And I plan to use it with my small travel trailer or truck
camper with my IC-9700......whenever IT GETS HERE!

My question:  should I set up a small extendable mast (I have several
fiberglass sections of MGS mast left over from my permanent mast setup) I
can mount to the trailer/camper?

Or should I go with a tripod setup?

Suggestions?

Hello all,

Unfortunately it's not one transmitter, but four of them (I thought 5,
but I just checked. Powers range from 1 - 10 kW), producing a lot of
spurious signals and raising the noise floor by about 10 dB when
pointing the beam into that direction. I don't think stubs will be broad
enough to cover 89 to 106 MHz, but I never worked with them, so I'm
guessing here. I don't have any problems with FM stations leaking onto
70 cm, just the air band, NOAA frequencies and 2 meters. My Airspy mini
also picks up lots of spurious signals? below 50 MHz, often hard enough
to ID.

I found this filter from Par Electronics
(http://www.parelectronics.com/fm-broadcast.php), but it doesn't
indicate if you can tx through it. Otherwise I will have to use it in
the shack and remove it when I want to tx on 2m, with the risk of
forgetting it and blowing it up. Will a sequencer be a solution then?

Hi!

I see the same issue when I try to update the keps in
AmsatDroid Free. When I select "Amateur (amsat.org)"
as the set I want, a pop up "Could not download file from
network. Kept existing element data." appears. It worked
yesterday afternoon. Unlike with SatPC32, the URL where
the kep files are located aren't accessible in this app.
Is it possible the updated file wasn't stored on the AMSAT
server in the right place, or with the right file name in the
appropriate place on the server?

73!

Thanks for getting this looked into Paul, while HTTPs for the website
is a fantastic idea, probably isn't needed for TLEs and also will no
doubt break quite a few applications like AMSATDroid.

Hopefully, it will be back to normal soon!
