Nice Job Dave and Christophe- I am trying the same from CN87wk. Not easy but

Subject: [amsat-bb] Extreme DX FO29 Contact
Satellite friends and colleagues,
I'm happy to announce that at 1732UTC on August 27th, 2015, A QSO was
made between myself, KG5CCI, and F4CQA on Satellite FO-29. This was not
a scheduled contact, I simply answered Christophe's CQ call. I knew it
was a good contact at the time, but as I was portable up on Arkansas'
Shinnall Mountain, I did not have the resources available to calculate
distances. After returning to my office I began to log the contacts I
had made, and noticed the "general" distance between EM34 and JN17 was
in excess of 7500km. About the same time I came to this realization, my
email chirped with a message from Christophe, who had came to the same
conclusion.
After some quick exchanges, and verifying 10 digit locators, we have
settled on an official distance of 7599.959km between my grid of
EM34ST11TL and Christophe's grid of JN17EA22OT, using the
http://no.nonsense.ee/qth/map.html website for calculations.
To the best of our knowledge, referencing data found on Amsat-UK's
website ( at http://amsat-uk.org/2015/05/06/uk-texas-extreme-dx-contact/
) this breaks the previous distance records of 7537.799km between W5CBF
and G4DOL, and the 7538.685km contact between K4FEG and DK1TB.
I had my camera setup to record the pass as well, and you can view a raw
clip of the contact here:
https://youtu.be/orY0Re0IY30
If anyone has any questions about the contact, I'll be happy to answer
them. Special thanks and a solid *GOOD-DX* to Christophe for the
contact, and here's to many more.
73!
-Dave, KG5CCI

I have for sale an Icom 451 all mode 70cm transceiver in very good
condition. Looks really good for a radio of this age, and works fine also.
I have been using it on the satellites with good results, and also in the
UHF contest earlier this month. This will get you on both the linear and
the FM satellites. I have had good luck with it so far on AO7, FO29, AO73,
and SO50.
It has a built in power supply, and does 10 watts out. Comes with a power
cord and hand mic. The only "issue" with it is that the level to turn the
VOX off and on is missing. It is in the VOX on position, but I just turned
the VOX gain all the way down and it functions in PTT mode only. You can
turn up the VOX gain if you want to use it in VOX mode.
This transceiver covers the 430-440 mhz range of 70cm and doesn't have a
tone encoder with it. One could be added, though. Here is a great chance to
get on 70cm SSB/CW for not a lot of money.
I am asking $160 for it plus shipping, and can take paypal/check/MO.
Pickup is also possible in Lawton, OK or can meet close by for an in-person
deal.

Bob,
Sat Name: DTUsat-2, Beacon is 200mW, Object 40030, 2401.842 MHz. Signalsare
very strong, and do not fade. Easily copied with a single
helix. It's a good signal to test tracking on 2.4 GHz.
Battery power has failed. Downlink only during ellipse using power from
solar panels. DTUsat-2 appears at all locations either once or twice at
about 11 AM local time and again about midnight. It is sun synchronous.
The CW beacons can be every 30 seconds apart or one minute apart depending
if the on board computer (OBC) is running. If the OBC is running, the
first three bits following the CW I.D. will be "dash-dot-dot" or 100.
If the three bits following the I.D is "dot-dot-dot" or 000, the OBC is
powered but not running.
When the OBC is running, CW beacons may be 1 minute apart with a tone
sounding mid way between beacon intervals. Downlink may be a full CW
beacon, partial CW beacon, a tone, or a missingsignal for that interval.
The beacon CW coded message following the I.D? ( OZ2DTU) is broken into five
segmentswhich is STATUS, Radio Temp, Battery Temp, Battery Voltage, and Beacon
Count. Beacon count, the last segment, is the "number of beacons since
the last full system reboot". This number can be a "dot" which is zero up
to a large number, for Example: "Dash Dash Dot Dot Dash" which is 25.
To me, a good condition would be a Status of 100 with a Beacon Count
30.Doppler is 100 KHz over the entire pass. Current Keps and accurate
computer clock is necessary for good tracking.I've been recording audio for
about 3 months for DT University. It's a good signal to track. Google
DTUsat-2.

SatPC32 shows that at 17:32 UTC, KG5CCI had 0.2 degrees of elevation and
F4CQA also had 0.2 degrees of elevation.
KG5CCI had a natural 1,056 foot tower at his disposal and F4CQA has quite
an antenna array at his home station. Great job to both! Doubly impressive
that this was a random contact.

I have the Icom AG-2400 downconverter. Manual says it does not go below
2400 MHz.

Hi!
The 2015 ARRL Southwest Division Convention is coming up, on 11-13
September in Torrance CA. I had asked this question on Twitter, and I'll
widen the question to -BB readers. Is anyone planning to go to this
convention? I'm thinking about heading out there for at least Saturday
of that weekend (12 September). I won't have a booth there, but hope to
meet up with other satellite operators out there, and maybe get a lunch
or dinner. I will probably head back to Phoenix late that evening, since I
am not able to spend all of that weekend in southern California.
Please e-mail me directly - or send me a tweet, if you are on Twitter -
if you're going to be there. Thanks in advance, and 73!
