It seems that NASA is retiring the system that provides the report
containing ISS orbital data, and a new comment to that effect in the report
confused the nasabare.txt update script, so it was failing over to the most
recent elements published in the weekly AMSAT bulletin which Ray Hoad
derives from SpaceTrack. I tweaked the script so nasabare.txt is updating
properly now.
This soon to be retired NASA system still provides elements in the "AMSAT
Verbose" format that even we abandoned years ago. For the old timers
current elements are:
Satellite: ISS
Catalog Number: 25544
Epoch time: 20323.25327528 = yrday.fracday
Element set: 906
Inclination: 51.6450 deg
RA of node: 306.1314 deg
Eccentricity: .0001516
Arg of perigee: 60.9923 deg
Mean anomaly: 299.1379 deg
Mean motion: 15.49080479 rev/day
Decay rate: 1.67170E-04 rev/day^2
Epoch rev: 1589
Checksum: 314
The replacement system will provide orbital data in the form of "state
vectors" (XYZ position and velocity) rather than the classical Keplerian
elements, so I get to learn the subtleties of conversion. My vocabulary
word for the day: "osculating".

Hi all
"NASA Scan" has published a note about ARISS and its 20 years.
As of today, nov 20, Only my comment appears there, so , I invite you to
say thanks to NASA ...
Look for their post dated on november 16
https://www.facebook.com/NASASCaN
and let them know, we amateur radio ops are here and that it was great
they had dedicated a post to ARISS and to all hams :-)

All:
I received a response from HRD regarding issues with their satellite
tracker and the ICOM-9700. They said that they were unable to provide
support at this time since my support subscription had expired.
I asked if they resolved the problems with their tracker and the 9700
and I've yet to receive a reply. The consensus among users that I've
spoke to is that the tracker doesn't function properly with this rig.
The main issue is that it doesn't allow the user to tune the radios VFO
with the Doppler correction enabled. There is a provision for manual
tuning, but it appears to have a bug since it works intermittently or
not at all.
Tuning the VFO with HRD's rig control works most of the time, but the
Doppler correction will often snap back to the previous frequency.
I'll report back as soon as I hear from HRD.

So you have the "satellite bug." You want to tell others about your
experiences getting on the "birds." You have enthusiasm and some
volunteer energy to give to the amateur radio community ...
Take a look at the AMSAT-NA Ambassador program!
https://www.amsat.org/ambassador/ <https://www.amsat.org/ambassador/>
Start with your local club(s). Have they had a satellite speaker/presentation
recently? Probably not since the new ham equipment was commissioned
last September! They NEED your information and experiences!
You will have support of fellow AMSAT Ambassadors all the way! From
presentation preparation to scheduling to - well, just about ANY obstacle
can be met and overcome with AMSAT's support!
https://www.work-sat.com/presentations.html
<https://www.work-sat.com/presentations.html>
Need more information? I am available via email and phone:

Or please send am email message to Robert Bankston, KE4AL,
Director, AMSAT Ambassadors: ambassadors@?????.???

Does anyone have a short list of 1200 baud APRS / Packet satellites that
are operational? I've noticed quite a few new satellites in orbit since
being off-air for a while.

To clarify, FalconSat 3 is 9600 baud, isn't it? The ISS is currently
running 1200 APRS (they alternate with FM repeater) and is the only 1 I
have experience with, but look here:
https://www.amsat.org/two-way-satellites/. It does appear there are others
(BricSat2 for example).

That?s correct - PSAT can also be used for APRS speaking of it. PSAT and
PSAT2 can also be used with PSK31. We have had some success sending sstv
via PSAT btw and none using PSAT2 yet.
Anyways, more than just packet and APRS out there

I try to maintain the list of APRS satellites here:
http://aprs.org/sats.html
BRICSAT is not digipeating. And PSAT2 VHF side died (though its PSK31 and
SSTV transponder are workikng fine).
