Hello-Does anyone know of any collaboration between AMSAT and The Planetary
Society's efforts with their light sail project? Scheduled for launch this
May, sponsored by NASA's ELaNa program. They (Planetary Society) mention
there are only two monitoring stations one in at Cal Poly and the other at
Georgia Tech. whereas we (AMSAT) have potential world wide monitoring
capability. This light sail effort is the first of two. Could a light sail
be in our future? More information about all this can be googled.

What are the downlink frequencies going to be? I couldn't find that info
during a brief look at the Planetary Society website. It would be nice if
they would provide a link to decoding software, also. Just thinking out
loud. We're all in this together!

Digipeated through the ISS, QSOs on SO-50, and downloaded telemetry from
AO-73 all before noon today.
It's been a good amateur radio satellite day.

Update for those who were part of a past thread: I put up an M2 Eggbeater on
top of my house. It works better for me on the ISS and AO-73 than did my 5/8
wave vertical. Basically, it's doing what I hoped it would do. (SO-50 is
still a backyard with the Arrow antenna adventure.)
Someday in the future I will likely go full bore and get myself a rotor,
etc., but, for now, I'm a happy camper.

Hi All,

I can hereby confirm Tomorrows intended activation of the AMSAT-NL
FUNcube-3 transponder on QB50p1 / EO-79.
Date and time:Monday 4th of May, activation around 0830 UTC for one orbit.

TLEs are in the normal repositories, COSPAR 2014-033-R, Object# 40025

We would like people to try the following frequencies if possible:
DOWNLINK: 145.960 USB
UPLINK: Tune to match downlink +/- 435.065 LSB
The transponder is linear inverting, nominally 30kHz wide, and approx.
500mW output.

Also, If you find the transponder busy on those frequencies, feel free to
move around and use the entire transponder passband.
The passband seems to have a "dip" in the middle which is bigger than
expected, but we do welcome feedback about the usability. Also, please
limit your uplink power, as it looks like this transponder is as sensitive
as FUNcube-1. The spacecraft antenna is a monopole, so we would also be
interested in signal fading reports.

The comissioning of the transponder done to date is very limited, three
activations for 5, 10 and 8 minutes respectively. So your reports are
greatly appreciated.

We do understand this is a very short notice, but hope that some of you
will be able to participate.
This was a take-it-or-leave-it opportunity offered by the ISIS engineers
for our consideration, and we are again very grateful to ISIS and VKI to
give us this opportunity.

Trying to find out why I had satellite 2014-033M added to my gpredict lists
I found out this is satellite Dutchifat-1 which also does APRS on 145.825

In SatPC32 - You must not only change the "Turning point" from South to
North, but also set the max elevation to 90 not 180 degrees.

Then and only then the option to set max azimuth to 450 is enabled.

This is under set | rotor setup.

Just thought someone else may need to know.

Thanks and 73,

Well, I saw my last message so I will try again.



I have FODTrack controller that I use with SatPC32 v12.6 on a WindowsME
laptop. Old, I know, but it works just fine and has worked fine for many
years with a G-5400 rotator..



Newer versions of SatPC32 do not like WindowsME and newer operating systems
do not like the FODTrack.



We intend to drag it out to Field Day for the ooh and awe factor of
automatic rotator control. Unfortunately I will be working with kb0lcr's
G-5500 rotators instead of my G-5400 rotators as I am too lazy to take the
5400 down.



Is there a way to make the FODTrack work with the G-5500 rotator and its
different azimuth scale?



Thanks and 73,

Joe kk0sd

I think I heard somebody on the transponder a few minutes ago on the
SUWS websdr. Signal around 145.965 was too low to copy anything.
Hopefully the next pass at 10:00UTC will be better.

Hi all,
Report on EO-73 transponder operation 0830 hrs UTC   4/515  ( My  location
Wales -UK -IO81EM.
At 0833 hrs UTC,    I heard Peter 2E0SQL calling CQ on  downlink frequency
145.964 Mhz.
He was 5/9 but I could also hear some other burst of noise? -    Due to my
terrain and obstructions I could not get access into the satellite but  will
try again on the next pass which is a much higher elevation.
Congratulation to the team and to Peter of course for his success.

Worked Bill, ZL2AYZ at 0915 UTC with EO-79 in full eclipse.  Signals quite
variable and never particularly strong and at times somewhat marginal copy.
We repeated the exercise on AO-73 at 0953 UTC with strong to very strong and
consistent signals although it should be noted that the EO-79 pass was at 12
deg. elevation while the AO-73 pass was at 35 deg. elevation.
Thanks for the opportunity to try a new one.

Subject: [amsat-bb] EO-79 Report

Hi all,
Report on EO-73 transponder operation 0830 hrs UTC   4/515  ( My  location
Wales -UK -IO81EM.
At 0833 hrs UTC,    I heard Peter 2E0SQL calling CQ on  downlink frequency
145.964 Mhz.
He was 5/9 but I could also hear some other burst of noise? -    Due to my
terrain and obstructions I could not get access into the satellite but  will
try again on the next pass which is a much higher elevation.
Congratulation to the team and to Peter of course for his success.
