Hi!
It looks like we have a chance to do double-hop packet through the ISS and
NO-84, around 2209 UTC. ISS is passing to my west, and NO-84 is to the
southeast. Using SatPC32, it looks like the two should see each other in
orbit. I'm going to give this a try, sending my packets first through ISS
using its RS0ISS call, as it will be higher and easier to get into. I'm
hoping that something makes it to - and through - NO-84.
Even though I had tweeted that I would use ARISS for the second part of my
path, I'll go with APRSAT instead. I can change it on the fly, if needed.
I'll watch the usual web sites, to see what makes it through each
digipeater. Please let me know if you see WD9EWK-9 make it through both.
73!

Hi!
As far as I can tell, my packets did not make the double hop from
Arizona through the ISS and NO-84. I could easily reach the ISS,
and was able to exchange messages with K7TRK & N7NEV. I
also saw Robert KO6TZ trying the double hop as well.
I know NO-84 responds to ARISS in the UNPROTO path, as I
saw that in action last weekend during Field Day and yesterday
when I tried to go through only NO-84. I had been using RS0ISS,
APRSAT based on a post by WB4APR recently. Had I used
RS0ISS, ARISS as my UNPROTO path, would the ISS key on
ARISS being in the path, or would it have used RS0ISS being
the first item in the path, leaving ARISS untouched for the next
station (NO-84) to use?
I want to keep an eye out on this, and give it another try sometime.
I missed out on the best chances to do this with the ISS and NO-44
earlier this year, although I enjoyed using NO-44 to make QSOs
when it was in more sunlight. I doubt I'll try this test while I'm on the
road later this week, but it is something I will try after the trip with
the ISS and NO-84 - if I see passes line up like these two did today.
73!

Alan ... Most of what I know about this comes from some of our past
conversations. But ... When I first applied (in 2005) for our authorization
to re-distribute the KEPs (in TLE format), I had a conversation with the
then officer-in-charge of approving the TLE re-distribution authorizations
at Air Force Space Command. He said exactly what you said, "There is a
law/regulation which covers launches with military or other classified
payloads." He did not elaborate any further and I got the feeling that he
did not what to answer further questions on that subject. I (and anyone else
who is not the owner/operator) cannot go into SpaceTrack and directly
download the TLEs from SpaceTrack for satellites launched on a military
launch vehicle.
It is obvious that the owner/operator of the satellite can obtain the
current TLEs, so for now, we get them from that entity. It is an extra
step, but it can be done. Once we acquire the TLEs from the owner/operator,
we are free to re-distribute as needed.
I am sure that the owner/operator of a satellite on a military launch has a
similar agreement that AMSAT has with SpaceTrack. Once AMSAT downloads the
TLE data from SpaceTrack and puts the TLEs in our format, it becomes AMSAT's
product. AMSAT (and anyone else that AMSAT sends it to) are free to send
that data to anyone else. At AMSAT we do ask those re-distributing KEP data
from AMSAT to leave the headers in place, thus giving AMSAT credit as the
primary re-distributing data source.
I hope this helps.

Steve,
There is a law/regulation which covers launches with military or other
classified payloads. (Somebody
have the exact reference?) It prevents releasing the Keps in the normal way
for the secondary
payloads, so they have to come indirectly from the people who own the
individual satellites. For
instance, you can find all the other Keps from that launch here:
http://mstl.atl.calpoly.edu/~ops/ultrasat/ultrasat_jspoc.txt
It is updated every couple of days, instead of the 3-4 times a day we are
used to. You need to match
the actual names with the satellite and object number, or get them with the
weekly updates to
NASA.ALL.

Don't forget we actually launched TWO identical 10m PSK31 uplink and UHF FM
downlink transponders (Built by Brno Univ).
SO if you go for PSAT, be sure to set up 7 minutes earlier in case BRICSAT
comes up too. BRICSAT has the same PSK31 transponder and appears to be 7
minutes ahead of PSAT. I just heard it at 2211z. It is power starved,
however and only comes up now and then when its battery accumulates enough
juice.
And of course, neither comes up unless there are users in the 10m 28.120 MHz
passband.

For PSAT PSK31 it is even simpler. Add a UHF FM HT to your HF station!

We give them what they ask for, a multi-user simultaneous transponder
supporting dozens of simultaneous contacts, yet we have only seen 1 or 2
stations at a time give it a try.

Just an observation. I thought this PSK-31 linerar uplink with FM downlink
would make everyone happy. It's a foot in both camps..

Hi!
I have one more shot at the double hop, starting around 2345 UTC
today. This time, I'll have a better NO-84 pass, with maximum
elevation of 70 degrees around 2350-2351 UTC, and the ISS will be
barely above my western horizon (maximum elevation of 1 degree).
It is possible that gateway stations along the west coast can hear
the ISS, if I'm able to get through NO-84 and the ISS. I will use
WD9EWK-9 once again for this test.
Robert KO6TZ will also be trying to do this. Here's hoping for some
good luck, for both of us...

NO-83 and NO-84 are far enough apart now that the FM down links will not
"Double" with each other. With that, I have never heard or seena
telemetry signal from NO-83 W3ADO-6. It should show up around 375 Hz on
the waterfall. I have been unable to turn on the transmitter with a
PSK31 signal.
Has anyone copied this satellite? Either the PSK-31 telemetry, or thru
the A/u USB/FM transponder?
If so, what is the secret ? Or is it just low and intermittent power?

Thanks to everyone who replied - I downloaded the keps file from Amsat and
loaded them from local file. I think Gpredict tries to load anything it
finds in the local file directory you tell it to use, as long as it's ascii
and looks like keplerian elements. Bernard - running GPredict 1.13 on
Raspbian Wheezy. Installed via apt-get, so there is also a collection of
stock config files in /usr/share/gpredict. For other RPi users, if using
the GUI that installs with Raspbian, it has a setting to view the hidden
directories, which may make working with your specific configuration a bit
easier vs. command line. The Debian dpkg tool can also list files used by
gpredict and where they are installed.
Alan - thanks for the reminder - I recall now the discussion following the
launch why there were no keps at Celestrack. When I went back to
celestrack and searched by NORAD ID, it shows the elements are not
available.
I am impressed with the increased computing power in the Pi 2 - running the
GUI, Gpredict, and Direwolf (using a USB dongle for sound and another
system to display the APRS traffic) runs smoothly.

I run the same version under openSUSE 11. I haven't been able to
install files for the newer birds directly from the Internet. I'm not
sure if it's because of a bug in Gpredict.
As a result, I've installed the files for the new satellites by hand
as I described with little problem, on the whole.

It's time for Amateur Radio Roundtable, a live weekly amateur radio webcast
and simulcasted shortwave program every Tuesday night at 8 PM CDT (0100 UTC
Wednesday). The show can viewed at W5KUB.com
(http://w5kub.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0d5cdae05233f79e11025a75d&id=
77d5fc3d40&e=3ac2e90269) or heard on shortwave radio station, WTWW on 5085
KHz. Tom Medlin, W5KUB, is joined by co-host Ted Randall, WB8PUM, from the
QSO Radio Show. The show covers a wide range of topics for ham radio
operators, shortwave listeners, and electronic hobbyists; including balloon
launches, Satellite, go-kits, emergency communications, SDR, digital modes,
DXing, home brewing, and more.
During last week's show, there was a major U.S. internet routing problem and
outage which affected our show. Due to this outage we were unable to proceed
our show and it has been rescheduled for Tuesday, July 6th.
This week?s guest will be Clint Bradford, K6LCS. Clint lives in Southern
California, and, by last count, has performed his "How to Work Amateur Radio
Satellites With Your HT" presentation almost 80 times at conventions and
clubs across the United States. To learn working the "birds" with just a
simple HT, tune in Tuesday night's show. Clint will also discuss other
tools needed; such as, free tracking software, how to home-brew a simple
Yagi antenna for more punch in the signal, and the simple protocol used when
making these fun and interesting contacts. In addition to learning about
the satellites, the same equipment is used to contact the International
Space Station.
Clint also coordinated a school contact with the International Space Station
- enabling students to interview an astronaut as the International Space
Station streaked overhead. Clint's websites are work-sat.com

Hi all,
It appears over the past few months, control operators have been working on
the old bird as seen here http://www2.umbrasi.com/ . Im still not sure if
its fully operational yet, im going to listen for it tomorrow, you should
do the same too. As for keps, im using the keps generated off of N2YO, not
sure how accurate they are but im using them. Looks like they finally got a
update in, as its been over a year since the last update :). Let everyone
know on the BBS if you hear it or not. I have not talked on this satellite
for 5 years now! Hopefully more memories to come.
*June 28, 2015*
AO-27 Turned on today. Seems good on the bootloader
If anyone has contacts into CelesTrak to get AO-27 back into the
amateur.txt file it would help some of the control operators stations.
Our e-mails have gone unanswered.

Thanks guys!
Yes, this is a great deal for a beautiful radio. Now, guess what? Nobody
wants it and it will go on Eham and QRZ this week. Well at least AMSAT BB
users had a chance :-)
