If you find errors or omissions. please contact me off-list at
<mycall>@<??????>.com and I'll revise the announcement.
This list was developed by comparing the ARRL .pdf listings
for the two months. It's a visual comparison so omissions
are possible. Apologies if your call was not mentioned.
Thanks to all those who are roving to grids that are rarely
on the birds. They are doing most of the work!

All
We have been able to successfully send via PSAT2 on multiple occasions and
QTHs PSK31 via PSAT2. However we have not been able to attain the holy
grail of having the transponder also transmit our SSTV signals at the same
time. Our experiments have involved multiple parties spread across a large
geographical distance with mutual FPs, antenna types and power levels to no
avail. Any helps or tips would be greatly appreciated. Tonight we decoded
PSK31 from KK4YEL who was sending thru a vertical antenna as it passed
overhead with N8URE attempting to send SSTV at the same time. On other
occasions we have decided PSK31 from N8URE who is sending at only 5W. In
all cases we have been using DopplerPSK.

Good Day,
I also get 1 transmission per pass of about 25 frames, last pass a few
minutes ago was a 8 deg. elevation and battery voltage 12.9V. I will have a
better pass with ele. 34 deg. in about 1 hr and will try to check timing
between two transmission.
Also, I went to the French AmicalSat WEB site and it is quite clear there
that the Awards are for sending Telemetry to AMSAT Francophone directly with
the AmicalSat decoder only. So I am sending to both Satnogs and AMSAT
Francophone DB?s.

Stefan and Jean Marc,
I have been downloading from AmicalSat since launch.
Never noted 30 second telemetry over VK.
Until recently has been beaconing at 5minute 1 second duration over VK.
Currently this has extended to 7minutes 9 seconds.
All my downloads while AmicalSat in sunlight, late morning passes.
73 Colin VK5HI.

Colin,
Thanks for the info.
I will watch more closely in the coming days, my station is tracking 24
birds at a time with SatPC32, yesterday I put AmicalSat as 1st priority and
is I will watch more closely at the logs in the coming days.
Also seems same for night time also as yesterday evening (satellite in
eclipse) I collected 23 frames.

All:
I'm getting ready to work satellites again after years of being off-air
and I noticed there are many new birds that I need to add to my HRD
tracking program which means entering the up and down links manually.
I started doing that today and thought it might be possible to import
the data from another HRD user? It certainly would save a lot of time!
73, Tony

All:
I watched a few ICOM 9700 videos on Youtube and noticed that the display
constantly switches from one band to the other while in Sat mode.
It seems to take place while the satellite tracking software corrects
each band for Doppler during a pass and I would imagine that constant
highlighting of the display would hypnotize the user after a while : )
Is there a way to turn it off?

Hi Tony,
It's how it works, due to CAT command issues... You'll get used to it ;-)
Wait until we have microwave downconverters with the GOLF birds, during TCA
:-)

I am getting close to having my antenna tracking operational :)? ?One
problem I have encountered is adjusting the output voltage on the G-5400B
rotor control to correspond to 180 degrees. I can get it up to 158.? One
other question, on doing the elevation A-D calibration. It asks to flip the
antennas to the right horizon 180 degrees. Can I do this with the antennas
pointed straight up at 90. Not sure if I can flip the antennas without
causing some problems. Thanks Mike
