Mark,

UISS has a Satgate add on module to gate packets like Bob is talking about.

Ran the satellite station for W1BIM (6A central MA).
Nothing fancy --  FT-847, tripod mounted arrow, no computer
(full manual). Worked KA4H on the very first AO-7 pass (but
out of habit used my call instead of the club call ---
idiot), then worked Wyatt at W0GQ on the next FO-29 pass.
Tried a few more times Saturday afternoon but no luck.
Packed up the gear and moved to one of the HF stations.

We were on a high plateau football field with a single
Winnebago and multiple tents/easy ups. Started raining
around 7pm, turned to horizontal rain by 11pm, and then at
3am the wind gusts toppled multiple station tents --  one of
the easyups  was found 30ft up in a tree, with the aluminum
structure.  Horizontal rain, and 30mph gusts the rest of
Sunday morning -- a real Nor'easter.  No injuries, but we
may have lost one rig and one laptop. I was sleeping in my
car when it happened. Winnebago stations kept going; what
was left of the tent stations were packed up by 6am.  Btw,
these were all properly staked and secured...   in at least
one case, the bottom flanges of the easyup post stakes were
torn from the metal masts --- metal welds torn off.

Found during FD: the UHF internal pre-amp on my FT-847 had
failed. Before I go through the schematics, anyone ever had
one fail and can identify the MAR or FET device I am most
likely going to have to replace?

I updated my SatPC32 from 12.8b to c during field day and everything ran
fine. Used WinAOS for pass predictions. This morning I tried to run WinAOS
and am suddenly getting an error message in German: Listenindex

I ran W4CVY for our club's Field Day effort from west/central Georgia.

I've had mixed results in past years making at least one contact for the
100 point bonus.  I've been slowly improving my gear every year.

This year I finally got circ-polarized crossed Yagis for 2m and 70cm (M2
LEO pack purchased through the Amsat store), got fully automatic
tracking working (K3NG/Arduino controller for Yaesu G-5500 rotor setup),
and figured out more of Sat32PC.  Discovered in pre-FD testing that the
power amp in my FT-736R was toast, but 1-2 watts it was putting out was
fine with my 70cm power amp.  Ran the 2m side barefoot (no amp).

Made 3 contacts total, all SSB on FO-29.  SO-50 was just chaos.

Heard and tried both AO-73 and AO-7, but was never able to find myself
and get my uplink calibrated in Sat32PC.  On AO-73 I went manual a
couple of times, keying down my CW key and sweeping my transmit with the
big knob.  I quickly found myself, but was never able to successfully
translate the result over to Sat32PC CAT control uplink calibration and
hear myself on SSB.

Things I know I can improve on: operating Sat32PC (powerful program, but
not easy to learn to drive well) and need to check the accuracy of my
rotor control (looks good at 0 azimuth, but looks about 10 degrees off
at 180).

I made my first via-satellite contact attempt on two afternoon SO50
Saturday passes.  I suppose Field Day is probably the worst time to try for
a first contact. ;-)  I also had a bunch of people come out to watch me
(No!  Go away!  I hardly know what I'm doing!  I want to fail in peace,
without an audience!).  I do appreciate fellow BVARC hams who helped hold
the antenna, make a recording, and call out az and elevation, while I
shifted frequencies and tried to make a contact.

I was absolutely thrilled (and I think others were impressed) to start
picking up voices at a slant range of 1500 miles.  I couldn't bust the pile
up with my little HT, but I can't wait to try again (and again, and again)!

Hi!

I had originally planned to do Field Day from the mountains near Flagstaff,
in northern Arizona. Unfortunately, work got in the way of those plans, when
a phone system upgrade was scheduled for Field Day weekend. After the phone
system work was moved to this weekend, I had hoped to try working a pass or
two early on Saturday afternoon, before going into the office. Instead, I
brought some gear to the office on Saturday, and was able to work some
passes from balconies at my office. That was fun!

I brought my Elk antenna and two HTs with me - a Kenwood TH-D72A, and an Icom
ID-51A. The TH-D72A was my radio for any packet/APRS activity on the ISS and
NO-84. I tried that HT on SO-50, but intermod from a nearby hospital made
SO-50's 70cm downlink tough to hear. The ID-51A's receiver did a better job
at resisting the intermod, so I used it for SO-50. I worked 3 ISS passes, two
SO-50 passes, and one NO-84 pass on Saturday afternoon/evening from my
office.

The first ISS pass, a little before 2300 UTC, was only up to 7 degrees here.
I heard the ISS packets, but it didn't retransmit any of mine. The two later
ISS passes, around 0025 and 0200 UTC, were better passes. I was able to make
a QSO on each pass - W5BII in Louisiana on the 0025 UTC pass, and W6YX on
the later pass.

I heard NO-84 on its pass around 0135 UTC, and I got a couple of packets
through that satellite, but didn't log any QSOs. I didn't see my call show up
on the pcsat.aprs.org web site, but was able to see the retransmitted packets
when I looked on aprs.fi. I will try this satellite from home, to see if I do
better when I'm away from the intermod generator (hospital) near my office.

SO-50 was an interesting story... I worked two passes, around 0030 and 0215
UTC Saturday evening. The earlier pass came up from my south, went to the
east, and covered most of the continental USA. I didn't expect much from that
pass, but I was able to make a contact early in the pass with N5AT in
Arkansas, operated by Dave KG5CCI. The later pass, over the west coast,
seemed just as busy as the earlier eastern pass. I did not log any QSOs on
the later pass. If I had logged any other SO-50 QSOs besides N5AT, I would
have listed them in my Field Day submissions to ARRL and AMSAT, but not
scored them - something I have done for many years.

Since I was busier in the office on Sunday, I was not able to work any other
passes before Field Day wrapped up. Having the radios with me to break up the
quiet Saturday evening in the office was a very good thing. I was sending out
tweets during the evening, and have since posted my Field Day "soapbox"
report on the ARRL web site. It is at:

http://www.arrl.org/soapbox/view/9174

You can see other soapbox reports for Field Day and other ARRL contests at:

http://www.arrl.org/soapbox

You can also post your own reports on the ARRL web site.

In the next few days, I'll prepare my Field Day submissions for both ARRL and
AMSAT. I have already gone through the ARRL's web submissions page for Field
Day reports, and I'll get the proper AMSAT form off the web site. I wish I
had the whole weekend to do Field Day, but having some time for Field Day is
always better than no Field Day at all.

73!

Just a reminder as well.

This is not ONLY for satellite related software, but other utilities and
programs you use in your satellite operations:
Rig and rotor control
packet
logging
rig programming
etc

I have been getting some good responses.  Keep 'em coming.

I also had fun listening to the pileups. I didn't try to work any of the
strong or established stations, I was going after the FD only sat stations

Jeff,

FO-29 sounded like 20 m, with many excellent signals.  A few stations, such
as K4BFT, were grinding out the contacts like a machine!  The usual problem
was that people were not hearing replies.  And then there was the "numbers
station," fortunately high in the passband, who seemed to spend the entire
pass saying "one two three, one two three," with never a call.  I actually
called the "numbers station," but never got a reply.

And a good time was had by all.

73s,

I'm trying to improve on my number of successful satellite QSO's (at the
moment: 3) and because I'm quite good at forgetting a callsign in the heat
of the moment I am trying to build a working setup to record FM QSO's.

The setup with a splitter from my HT to the line-in of a mp3 device does
record something but it's still distorted. I will try on the FT-857 again
but that's a bit heavy for satellite contacts. It can give more output
power than the default 5W (.. if the specs are to be believed) of the HT
which may improve the chance of actually getting across.

I noticed (again) that there seems to be a fixed format in action for
exchanging callsign / signal report / locator. But I'm not sure of the
right order. Can someone explain this? I haven't seen this mentioned on
amsat-bb.

My latest recording where I heard this type of exchange twice is linked
from http://idefix.net/~koos/newsitem.cgi/1435521672

Since 23 June 2015 the QB50P2 beacon has been extremely weak and I've

>From Ray Hoad on the keps mailing list:

The NORAD ID # for NO-84 (PSAT) and NO-83 (BRICSat) is being changed to
align with the Satellite Name and corresponding NORAD ID # as shown on the
SpaceTrack website maintained by Joint Space Operations Center (JSpOC).  The
various names, IDs, and correct TLE's for these cubesat satellites have
finally settled down and AMSAT is making one last change to align with
JSpOC. These changes will eliminate future confusion by matching the data
from SpaceTrack.

The new ID designations are as follows:

PSAT (NO 84)    =  90720  =  ULTRASat 1   =  40654  =  2015-025D
BRICSat (NO 83) =  90729  =  ULTRASat 10  =  40655  =  2015-025E

Please adjust your tracking programs accordingly.
