Hi All,
Yes, the 2 lines for SO-50 as below are correct.
SO-50,67.0,$3F,1
SO-50,74.4,$3E,3
As per the SubTone.SQF file:
; SO-50: Before this satellite can be worked it has to be opened by a
74.4 Hertz
; "burst" tone. Therefore the file contains an additional line with
data for
; this tone frequency. To set this tone frequency with SatPC32 click
the "T"
; control until it shows "T2". Then switch to TX for a few seconds. Click
; the "T" again until it shows "T1". That will set the tone frequency
back to
; 67.0 Hertz.

Hi John
Really. The spirit of amateur radio.
It is interesting to hear the astronaut answers.
Imagine actively participate.
I managed with great effort to accomplish here ARISS last year.
With exceptional assistance of the Canadian team.
The work is hard. But we have a huge satisfaction
inform our Hobby can provide an event of this.
I was motivated to enroll another school. And now I want a Boy Scout group.
I encourage those who can.

Hi Paulo,
I recommend you do that...
Apply, seek out audiences, win the opportunity. Here's my experience of some
very enjoyable times.
I applied for a SAREX contact about 20 years ago. We did the contact from
the Local Planetarium I worked at...Dr Ron Parise WA4SIR was the astronaut
we spoke to... http://www.arrl.org/news/ronald-a-parise-wa4sir-sk I
remember it like yesterday. STS-67 was the shuttle mission. AOS brings the
moment of truth, will the plan work ? It did for us...11 students asked
their own question 10 heard answers before LOS. The backup equipment not
needed that day. I think it was 10 scouts, if not 11, each got to ask a
question twice. Audience of about 50 packed in a small auditorium. No
YouTube in 2005 nor video camera in every pocket...
Then, 2 years I was on the team that did the ARISS contact from K2BSA at the
US National Scouting Jamboree. I had the privilege to call Maj. Luca
Parmitano at AOS to establish the contact. The most tense moment of after
about 2 years of work. The plan worked that day also. Audience of 100
outdoors that day. It's on YouTube. http://youtu.be/yzDNMetelH8 contact
established at 4:00 in the video. I'm seated at the table. We worked every
satellite pass for 7 days to ensure we had a good station. This is weak
signal work. (It's not perfect) Paul AA4ZZ is standing by the table next to
me. Also Ron Wood WA0BRO was instrumental in our sat station. We has a
great team led by Jim K5ND (also on the video), I say this because you will
enjoy the folks you share this passion with...and it takes a team. My
application is in to go do it again in July 2017
I find this is highly addictive activity. Vast amounts of work and
preparation with 1 chance for success (always in front of an audience), with
amazing satisfaction / reward.
Be encouraged to pursue more of this activity. There's great spirit in
Amateur Radio to be enjoyed in the teamwork. While I describe this, I want
to be careful to say, it's not about me. It's about the team, it's about
providing the opportunity for students to talk to an astronaut via our
hobby/passion, Amateur Radio.
Now I feel like its time to say, Class dismissed. (Grin)
Thanks,
73
Mike

The official word from our launch provider is that the GRACE CubeSats

When we receive any updates to that, we will surely make it known via ANS.

The latest AMSAT Bulletin Vol. 38 No. 3 was great.
Quite a number of interesting articles. I found the CNCTRK article by
KI4SBL particularly interesting. The modular, metal construction seems like
a really good idea. Bob is very good on returning emails so let him know if
you have any questions about his interesting system.
In addition to CNCTRK there are a number of other portable rotors that have
been around for a while (satnnogs,? WRAPS and
http://www.mobypicture.com/user/MeltdownCore/view/18165109 to name a few).
Has anyone built and used any of these relatively new lightweight portable
rotors. If you have any first hand experience with one or know of any
others please let me know direct and/or on the board.

Hello Vince.
I can't help with a source, but I have the same problem with the meter lamps
As there is plenty of 12V available perhaps there is a white LED solution
that someone has discovered. Then it will be a fix for life.

When I have it apart I
need to address scratchy pots issue too
with the AF gain, squelch, RF gain, and
mic gain. Anyone ever
taken care of that? What cleaner to
use?
Thanks
Happy 4th
everyone.

After five attempts on SO-50, I was able to make a QSO with N4UFO (love the
call sign!) on the 08 UT pass this morning! Slant range was over 1000
miles for me, pretty close to my limit with my Arrow II antenna and HT.
I'm still recovering from the shock and awe of being able to do this. :-)
