Lituanicasat-1 was not heard on the 1245utc pass over the SW
United States. It was on for that pass yesterday and N5HYP was
worked from DM43. The current keps had it at 234KM.

Hi Folks,
FUNcube/AO-73 will remain in BEACON mode/Auto Eclipse mode (ie transponder
on when sat is in darkness, full power beacon when in
daylight) this weekend whilst the AMSAT-UK Colloquium is held at the Holiday
Inn in Guildford, Surrey.

I will be on FO-29 during the 0053Z (July 26) and 0239Z passes in CW mode.
?I will be around 435.830 +/- doppler.

tail

When I first heard this story on the radio, I had to check the calender
to see if it was April First, but it is a real story.
A comet was discovered early last year coming up from below the plane of
the ecliptic. It is named after the Siding Spring Observatory in
Australia where it was spotted in a 20 inch scope.
It is expected to pass Mars at a distance of 132,000 kilometers on
October 19th. For scale, that is about a third of the distance from the
Earth to the Moon. No comet has ever been recorded coming that close to
the Earth.
After this near-miss (George Carlin would say, near-hit), Mars will pass
through the dust tail of the comet 90 minutes later. NASA and JPL want
their satellites to be on the other side of Mars when this happens.

It is unpredictable, but I suspect that LituanicaSat-1, LO 78 will be on
for the morning decending (NW to SE passes on Satruday morning 7-26. In EM
12 I have a 26 degree pass starting at 1229Z. LO-78 was up for these
morning passes on Wednesday and Thursday mornings but not up on any passes
on Thursday late night (US time) or the Friday 124X Z pass for me this
morning but was on for my 0442Z here on the 26th. On Wednesday and Thursday
the only station besides myself was K8YSE/7. We never quite made it on
Wednesday but completed a QSO on Thursday morning. No one else was on the
bird. My 07-26 0442 pass saw no one else on the bird but myself.
My observations as a purely handheld (Sometimes tripod) operator are these.
The satellite is a challenge to work but provides quite nice audio
when you can.
As it decays, the pass times continue to shorten. They are now only
7 minutes. For us handheld guys, maybe 5 minutes of usable pass.
Mid pass it really trucks across the sky. Doppler shift is quite
fast as well on the 435 downlink.
Published downlink is 435.1755. I start at 435.1755 so I start at
435.185 and down.
67 Hz PL and Narrow FM at 145.95 or else keep your modulation quite
to avoid over-deviating. Doing so will cause the PL receive on the
satellite to squelch out.
Again low modulation bandwidth or talk quietly.
Repeater on board has a tail so if you hit it you will hear the tone
after you unkey.
There is even a voice and CW ID so that makes it interesting.
Satellite has hefty spin fades so that adds to the challenges.
Hope to see a few additional folks to try this before it goes away.
