Hi Folks,
For those who are using my Linear Up-Down app, I have updated it for RS-44.

I witnessed the AO-92 QRM again on the 0100Z pass today (Sunday night). The
source of the QRM seems to be related to the Gloucester, MA area. A net was
taking check-ins at 9PM EDT and I heard at least 2 or 3 stations check in.
One of the stations, I believe, was on Echolink, so it is probably the
145.13 Gloucester, MA that is part of the issue.
I suspect it is some sort of UHF/VHF cross-band setup that someone has in
that area, within range of the 145.130 repeater (60-mile coverage area).
Someone at AMSAT may want to reach out to the club and enlist their help:

Hope this helps.

Folks, if you can't hear yourself on the downlink, please don't keep calling
CQ!
On passes of CAS4-4B and CAS-4A today, there were at least three
different stations calling CQ repeatedly, sometimes right on top of
other QSOs. They were each answered by multiple stations, but just
kept calling CQ, again and again.
I will not post callsigns here, and if email addresses had been
available on QRZ.com I would have written to each individually. But
these satellites are very active, so if no one is coming back to you,
or you don't hear other signals as you tune across the passband, OR IF
YOU DON'T HEAR YOURSELF, the problem is on your end. So fix your
receiver!

Mark,
Well said ?OR IF YOU DON'T HEAR YOURSELF, the problem is on your end. So fix
your receiver ?.
That said it is incredible that many OM?s do not do a minimum of home work
(WEB research etc..) before TXing (not only on the LEO Birds but also on GEO
now).
When I was a trainee long ago each time I put to my ?Boss" a question which
if I was reading the documentation the answer would be obvious, his reply
was RTFM, after a few days I asked him what RTFM means and he simply said
calmly "Read The F? Manual?.
My observation so far is that if some doing things which are not right is
due most probably because they do not RTFM as many infos available on the
net, or do not dare (or shy) to ask for help from others (e.g. on this
forum). There is no stupid question, not knowing is not a shame, not asking
for help when one does not know is, eventually causing issues. So simple.

Yes, Jean Marc. Many of us would be willing and anxious to help -- I
don't want to scare newcomers away. But if they don't reach out to us,
and if they don't make an email address available on their QRZ page,
it isn't possible. Of course, they probably aren't reading here,
either!

I just heard some conversations during the AO-91 pass as well, followed by
a bunch of other noises QRMing the bird. The satellite was over the great
lakes at the time.

Mark,
I wish to add:
For all wishing help, please ask. From this mail you have my e-mail address
( and many other OMs on the forum) and as Mark said we are anxious to help.
If I don?t know the answer I will surely forward the question to an OM who
knows. More any question will be a learning for me also, thanks for that.

About ARISS:
?
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative
venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that
support the International Space Station (ISS).? In the United States,
sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American
Radio Relay League (ARRL), the ISS National Lab and National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA). The primary goal of ARISS is to promote
exploration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEAM)
topics by organizing scheduled contacts via amateur radio between crew
members aboard the ISS and students in classrooms or public forms. Before
and during these radio contacts, students, educators, parents, and
communities learn about space, space technologies, and amateur radio. For
more information, see www.ariss.org.
