Mark et all:
I setup another receiver to monitor Satpc32's TX Doppler correction and
found that the CAT speed produced only a slight change. On the other
hand, the CAT tuning interval had a profound effect and I found that a
value of zero produced smoothest Doppler correction for CW.
Increasing the interval to a value of 10 produced enough lag time to
hear the CW tone change abruptly so zero seems to be the way to go.

I did read the manual Stefan and the author suggests using a CAT tuning
interval of 50 to 80 which seems fine for SSB, but that value is too
coarse for CW.
At least that's been my experienced.

Very good!
Keep on finding the best settings that work for you. I have mine set to 0
for all modes, not that it requires it, but for me to see the radio
response immediately to any change, especially when I forget to turn C+
back on after making changes on the radio...lol.

Dear friends,
only to inform you that the AMSAT-EA satellites EASAT-2 and HADES flying
with SpaceX, are finally going to be launched, after a small delay, on
January 14, 2021. They have been already delivered and integrated on the
Alba Orbital deployer.
The satellites have been configured to act as FM voice and FSK data
repeaters and not as linear transponders as It was our initial plan. Anyway
We think these are the smallest satellites ever given such a function, as
their size is only 7.5cm x 5 x 5 cm!.
Hades also flies a SSTV camera that will take and send pictures each 15
minutes. The camera module design is based on the one used in the PSAT2
satellite, being kindly adapted for us by the Brno University of Technology.
Both satellites have also digitized FM voice beacons. Callsigns are AM5SAT
for EASAT-2 and AM6SAT for Hades. Downlink frequencies, 436.666 MHz for the
first and 436.888 MHz for the second one.
These are our first satellites, with the project leaders being all spanish
radio amateurs and almost all the engineering made by radio amateurs too,
with help of students of two Universities.
Said that, We apologize if not all working perfectly as expected, as
AMSAT-EA doesn't have the flight heritage of other AMSAT organizations as
NA, UK or DL. We appreciate your patience and support as We are all willing
to improve our skills to build better satellites for the radio-amateur
service in the future.
More information and pictures about them (and also about our ASK/CW
repeater satellites GENESIS-L and GENESIS-N, also to be launched 2021 with
Firefey) here:

ARISS Contact Applications (United States)
?
The Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) Program is
seeking formal and informal education institutions and organizations,
individually or working together, to host an Amateur Radio contact with a
crew member on board the ISS. ARISS anticipates that the contact would be
held between July 1, 2021 and December 30,
2021. Crew scheduling and ISS orbits will determine the exact contact dates.
To maximize these radio contact opportunities, ARISS is looking for
organizations that will draw large numbers of participants and integrate the
contact into a well-developed education plan.
?
The deadline to submit a proposal is November 24th, 2020. Proposal
information and more details such as expectations, proposal guidelines and
the proposal form can be found at www.ariss.org. An ARISS Introductory
Webinar session will be held on October 8, 2020 at 8PM ET. The Eventbrite
link to sign up is: https://ariss-proposal-webinar-fall-2020.eventbrite.com
?
The Opportunity
?
Crew members aboard the International Space Station will participate in
scheduled Amateur Radio contacts. These radio contacts are approximately 10
minutes in length and allow students to interact with the astronauts through
a question-and-answer session.
?
An ARISS contact is a voice-only communication opportunity via Amateur Radio
between astronauts and cosmonauts aboard the space station and classrooms
and communities. ARISS contacts afford education audiences the opportunity
to learn firsthand from astronauts what it is like to live and work in space
and to learn about space research conducted on the ISS. Students also will
have an opportunity to learn about satellite communication, wireless
technology, and radio science.
?
Because of the nature of human spaceflight and the complexity of scheduling
activities aboard the ISS, organizations must demonstrate flexibility to
accommodate changes in dates and times of the radio contact.
?
Amateur Radio organizations around the world with the support of NASA and
space agencies in Russia, Canada, Japan and Europe present educational
organizations with this opportunity. The ham radio organizations? volunteer
efforts provide the equipment and operational support to enable
communication between crew on the ISS and students
around the world using Amateur Radio.
?
Please direct any questions to?ariss.us.education@?????.???.
?
For future proposal information and more details such as expectations,
proposal guidelines and proposal form, and dates and times of Information
Webinars, go to www.ariss.org.

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.

The weather at the Launch site doesn't look good for tomorrow so the
launch is delayed for a day.
See: https://twitter.com/RocketLab/status/1328800285498560513
The press kit here is worth a read:

So far nothing new on the Auckland University satellite web page. The
only new information I have is that the downlink frequency is 435.1 MHz,
9600 bps GMSK data, AX25 Space Packet Protocol, with ECSS Telemetry &

I've made initial contact, but have received no further information than
that provided in Terry's email. It's worth pointing out that the frequency
this satellite is using is uncoordinated (IARU coordination was not
completed), and overlaps with the frequency of FalconSat-1.
Since we don't have any pre-launch TLEs, I've generated a TLE based on the
information in the launch press kit (
https://www.rocketlabusa.com/assets/Uploads/Return-to-Sender-Press-Kit-RL-Fina
l3.pdf
).
The TLE is as follows:
1 99998U 14900A 20325.07569444 .00000000 00000-0 50000-4 0 01
2 99998 97.3000 90.9426 0001454 0.0000 218.5000 15.21937999 00
This is valid for a 2020-11-20 01:44Z launch. If the launch slips (as is
fairly common with Electron launches), it will need to be re-calculated.
This should be good for the first few hours, after which we should
hopefully have a better fitted TLE based on radio observations.
Information on how I generated the TLE (using open source tools) is here:
https://gist.github.com/darksidelemm/60dd22c74ebe2e6d89bae9e6a845da5e
