LoTW will have NO-83 and NO-84. Someone will need to put a help ticket
in to alert them to add the satellites to the config file. I can do
that.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Is there any HAM operator near Los Alamitos, Ca that can help test the next
APRS Satellite being integrated there?
All we need is someone to configure a radio to RX on 144.39 on a good
outside antenna, and another radio to TX the audio on 145.825 (low power
into a dummy load) near the spacecraft.
This will provide some ?traffic? on the 144.825 channel (low power) to make
sure the spacecraft does not do anything weird when it begins to see user
packets.
I envision the volunteer to make a trip to the plant to set up this radio,
and then come get it later after testing is complete.
It will take two 2m radios and GOOD audio response so that packets do not
degrade as they are retransmitted on 145.825.
The trick will be giving it a high enough receive antenna so that it can
hear plenty of source packets, and then to have the other TX on low power
and into a dummy load placed near the spacecraft so that the 145.825
repeated packets don?t QRM the satellite channel outside the building.
Anyway, it is a challenge, but critical to making sure this APRS satellite
is flight ready?
Anyone feel up to contributing some time and effort to the next APRS
satellite?

We finally got the crate of antennas out of customs today and have the

We will transmit on 145.925 and tune the passband for callers.

With many of us moving towards SDR based receivers, RDS decoders and

Audio Cables. Wanted to make everyone aware of a
free alternative to the more popular VAC application.
VB Cable is "donation-ware" and works great.
Their audio mixer is also a wonderful and visual GUI that makes
complicated routing simpler for many since you can easily visualize the
signal path. Give them a try!

Heard KB1RVT at the end of the pass but did not complete.
Please do not tune your uplink. Just use 145.925 as your uplink and we
will tune for you. When stations slide around it makes it much harder
to catch calls and wastes time.
We will be on the next pass, which is much better for us with less
volcano blockage.

HI John,
Yes, you were the first. As listed in order in the previous email.
That pass was mostly through the villa for the first half. Apparently
the uplink was getting through it but the downlink was blocked.
Next pass will be in the clear once it clears the volcano after about 4
minutes or so.
The only stations worked were listed in the previous email.
Sorry, we are are not going to take time to pass the grid. Just a waste
of time in my view. We are in FK86vs, as posted on qrz.com / vp2mkv.
We are pleased to give out Montserrat to as many unique calls as
possible. We should be able to be on passes as listed on the qrz.com
page for at least the next 4 days. We got a late start because our
crate of antennas, which we paid to have sent directly to the villa, had
to be ransomed out of customs, which took two days and hours and hours
of time, two inches of documents, a lot of explaining, along with money.
But it's all good now with 6 HF antennas up and a big 6 meter beam.
Made a few 6 meter contacts yesterday, nothing today. Our 6 meter
beacon board turned out not to be compatible with the keyer so we are
not beaconing on 50.102 as previously advertised, but will be listening
mostly on 50.125. Hoping for Europe tomorrow morning.
HF has been noisy and weak signals until just the past few hours.
