I made a mistake looking at my file. This weeks ANS bulletin should have
listed the AMSAT Satellite Communications awards as follows.
Steve Kristoff, AI9IN #564
Frank Westphal, K6FW #565
Fraser Bonnett, W3UTD #566

I noticed for quite some time that when I know watch a current pass that
later on the Funcube warehouse.funcube.org.uk never ever adjusts my
uploaded "count" .
The "Dashboard" program from them has a check-mark in the stream data to
warehouse box.
I tried this question on the Funcube sponsored Forum, to no avail Then I
noticed that other guys have asked the same question. Those guys as well
as myself never received a single reply.
I I have a Funcube registration account which they have lost or deleted
then how would I ever know that? There is seemingly no link to write to
them.
I only can conclude that it is a waste of time for me to have a
dedicated program and radio gear using the Capturing program since it
seems Funcube isn't looking at uploaded data.
So I m guessing I have something configured incorrectly? What other
choices are there ?

Hi Bob,
Yes, the warehouse is active. I will take a look at the logs and see if
there is a problem with your uploads.
I will respond offline if there is a problem with the credentials you
are using.

Good evening,
As we're nearly two months pass the Summer Solstice here in the
Northern Hemisphere, transponder time is increasing on evening passes
over North America. Here in Washington, DC, on the 0155Z pass, I had 6
minutes and 10 seconds of pass time from AOS until the satellite
entered sunlight and the transponder switched off. I heard and worked
PV8DX at my AOS, but no other stations were heard.
AO-73 is currently the only amateur satellite consistently available
during regular evening hours, even if not for an entire pass, so let's
hear some more activity! It's really quite an easy satellite to work
with the strong downlink.

One thing I might add: often I encounter stations spending a lot of time
trying to find themselves on the transponder. I suspect they are trying
to calibrate their SatPC32/MacDoppler/gpredict. Sadly, they spend so
much time doing so that they miss out on the precious transponder time.
Ditting/hola/test-test-test without sending a callsign doesn't even
make for a good SWL report.
I would suggest stations NOT try using computer control and enjoy the
transponder with manual control.
Chances are if you are not hearing your own downlink on AO-73, you
probably either have a poor antenna/feedline OR (more likely) you are
not listening in the correct corresponding downlink frequency for your
uplink frequency into the transponder. AO-73 is VERY easy to hear!

Clayton,
Recently you may have heard me attempting to find myself on the bandpass. I
am tuning manually, but can never get a clean downlink of my voice. Also, I
only show up on my spectrum as a small spike and others show up nice and
strong.
I have tried several times to work it with not much luck. I am using an
IC910H, dual Arrow antennas on rotor, no preamp yet, but my coax is quite
short with about 3db loss on the 70cm and almost nothing on the 2m. On a
high pass I can hear myself, but I can never get my audio to sound right. It
always sounds like I'm not on frequency as my voice is always real high
pitched through the tuning range. I'm hitting the bird with about 200W ERP.
I thought I might be getting into my frontend with harmonics due to my
antennas being only about 3 ft apart so I also tried using an eggbeater for
the uplink and setting it 20ft away. Granted that dropped my ERP to about
100W, but still the same outcome, but with 100W I could barely hear my
downlink. I can hear others nice and strong and they are clean sounding. I
also tried a different radio just for the heck of it, but the same outcome.
I use dual fed coax and switch polarity as the bird rotates.
My settings are:
Uplink - 435.130 - 435.150 LSB
Downlink - 145.950 - 145.970 USB

Same story here, Michael. Manual tuning is the only way I ever hear my
signal, but then only above about 30 degrees elevation. I don't have the
same troubles on FO-29, etc. One problem I am in the process of fixing is
high loss feedlines. Since I am very cautious about using the recommended
low power, my EIRP is very low. But, the feedlines should be replaced soon
with LMR-400. I hope the other four Funcubes that are in the pipeline will
not be as peculiar as AO-73.

If you need more than 5 watts to hit 25 watts ERP (AMSAT-UK's recommended
power), then feel free to up the output as needed! I find I can get in with
no problems using 5 watts to the Arrow even down to a couple of degrees as
long as there are no obstructions in the way (tree leaves love to suck up
70cm signals, a medium deciduous tree can attenuate 70cm signals by 10.5
dB, so feel free to compensate for this too if you're beaming into trees).
Of course, I am using only 6' of LMR-240 and can switch polarity quickly as
necessary as I'm holding the antenna.
As far as the other FUNcube transponders - 2 of them are already flying
(UKube-1 and EO-79 have the other two). They share the same design and
likely exhibit the same frequency instability. As the satellites are
different (within a 3U and 2U cubesat, respectively) the temperatures may
stay a bit more stable, but we'll have to wait and see when they are made
available for general use.
FUNcube on Nayif-1 will have an improved design and should be more stable.
FUNcube on ESEO will be an L/V FM transponder, so it will be different from
the other four FUNcube units.
