Hi James,
I think it is absolutely AWESOME that you have your 9 year old daughter
into the hobby! That kind of enthusiasm cant' be bought for anything!!
You daughter is a great ambassador for the hobby vs the old crusty farts
with the negative comments. Fortunately, they are few and far between.
Hiram had a couple of different implements for dealing with likes of the
old fart contingent, they would do well to review those instruments prior
to making inane comments attacking 9 year olds.
Having worked a few satellites myself, I congratulate your daughter on
working through the process and making contacts. Good Job!!

I have been very bad at making satellite contacts recently. The main reason
is because they aren't at a specific time every day/week and I don't look
for passes very often. When I do search for passes, I am busy during the
pass or don't have enough time to prep for a pass in 10 minutes. In
addition, I can only work FM, so there aren't many sats (like one)
Has anybody ever found something to get notified when a pass is coming up
(maybe in the next few hours or so) via text message or email or something
else?
Thanks,
Skyler KD0WHB

Sure. If you carry a smartphone or PDA that has a calendar, create a
calendar event with a reminder a few minutes in advance.

Every few days, I print out the next 50 passes for the various
satellite I'm interested in and I load them into a database. Each
day, I spend a few minutes updating my computer's calendar. Whenever
a pass is coming up, I have enough notice that I can set up my station
on my balcony.

I set alarms on my phone with the satellite name and if there is a
particular station I am looking for, that is added as well.

on an iphone, the pxsat app will allow you to select a particular
satellite and then set reminders automatically for the pass of your
choosing when you look at the upcoming list. on the main screen, click
on the gear, then click on the I (for information on that satellite)
that you want to see passes for. then tap each pass you want to be
notified about. you can then click on the gear in the lower right
(param) and set the pass notifications margin for 30 seconds, 1 minute,
2 minutes or 5 minutes. i don't think a one hour before the pass is
useful. that would be like letting you know the day before there will be
3 passes tomorrow. you will be busy or forget when that hour comes up.
maybe a combination of using the calendar to notify you an hour before
and the the tracking app notifying you 5 minutes before would be a good
combination.

Well said Jeff,
I can't wait to hear your awesome daughter on the bird again James. You are
a blessed Dad to have a youngster interested in Amateur Radio these days
with all the outside distractions. I bet you are immensely proud of her.
Keep up the good work and pretend the QRM isn't there. They will quietly go
away.

Just curious...why do we not refer to this sat as NO-84? Seems to me that
consistency is the best way to go

PSAT seems to be returning to good health. We will keep the digipeater off,
but will now announce it is safe to resume PSK31 experiments.
Remember, when we ran out of power, great progress had been made with Andy's
pre-compensating PSK31 uplink software (below). Here also are the latest
elements for PSAT:
PSAT
1 90720U 15234.36512451 +.00008395 +00000-0 +21488-3 0 0099
2 90720 054.9897 293.1329 0244566 052.6872 309.6216 15.1526532401420
When PSAT-1 is using the PSAT-1 callsign, that means the digipeater is off.
But as of now, PSK31 experimentation is authorized. 28.120 PSK31 uplink and
435.350 FM downlink.

Subject: [amsat-bb] PSAT PSK31 experimental software
I put together an experimental program called DopplerPSK to compensate for
the Doppler shift on the NO-84 (or NO-83) PSK31 uplink. In essence, its a
PSK31 transmitter that is merged with an orbital propagator to cause your
transmitted signal to drift exactly opposite to uplink Doppler effect. It
does this in a phase-continuous correction so that you don't get errors due
to discontinuous frequency adjustments from controlling a radio in discrete
steps.
In the case of PSAT and BricSat, it should cause your signal to stay at
constant frequency in the satellite's uplink receiver, and thus you should
get a stable frequency on the FM downlink as well. In turn, this means you
should be able to use your favorite PSK31 demodulating software to copy the
downlink since the frequency drift should stay well within the AFC tolerance
of the software.
Anyway, if there are any adventurous people who are set up to give this a
go, I would be interested in seeing if it actually works.
You can find a rough quick-start guide (which contains an explanation of how
it works and what you need to get started) and the application package on
the rather minimalist page here:

It's an experiment, so be prepared for disappointment. I am :-) Andy K0SM/2
