All,
Initially the TLEs for the GRACE Cubesats were published only via:
http://mstl.atl.calpoly.edu/~ops/grace_tle/GRACE_OPM_TLE.txt
Meanwhile more recent TLEs can be found in this list:
http://mstl.atl.calpoly.edu/~ops/keps/kepler.txt
Using these TLE sets I find that AO-85 is closest to object 90747,
GRACE_47. Actually AO-85 is now about 10 s early compared to the
TLEs of object 90747.
I assume Cal Poly will keep these GRACE elements up-to-date in the
coming days, like they do with the ULTRASat TLEs.

Hi all,
Here is a recording I made last night on one of the passes of AO-85 over
Europe with a Funcube Dongle Pro+:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2pPGQkeEAfdaEVXSFluTGVIaUk/view?usp=sharing
The centre frequency is 145.950MHz and the file can be opened directly
with FoxTelem, which decodes about a dozen payloads.
There is also a bit of AO-73 transponder and some other satellite
downlinking BPSK telemetry at the beginning of the pass.

I wonder how to get the "Getting started with amateur satellites"
Good job from Amsat to build and launch a new sat. The excitement to
hear it short after launch, triggered me to become a member.

Gentlemen,
I'm sorry it was not clear where to download the file. In retrospect we
should have sprung for the store add-in software to make it more prominent
instead of using the mediocre capability it came stock with. I trust I've
gotten your files to you directly OK now.
For those wishing to take advantage of the free Getting Started Guide with
membership while the offer stands, take a look at these images:
The first screenshot (Post Order Screen) is for downloading it right after
purchase:

The second screenshot is where to click after clicking the "Detailed
Invoice" link in the Order Process email that someone will receive right
after purchase: http://www.amsat.org/wordpress/wp-admin/upload.php?item=4628
The link is active for 3 days, and you get three tries to get through the
4Mb download. If you experience issues, please email me directly. Including
your paid invoice email from the store will speed things along.

Way back in 1980 when I first got interested in amateur satellites and
AMSAT, I wrote off to Eimac Corporation for their "Moonbounce Notes"
collection.
While on a household paper eradication campaign I came across them and
scanned them. I thought others might enjoy a look back at some
bleeding-edge ham activities from the mid-late 1970s. It's particularly
amusing to see how much effort was spent just tracking the moon with the
technology then available.

This is a raw collection of pdf files, but the file names are pretty
descriptive. Collect the entire set!
If anybody has any notes missing from my collection, please let me know.

Hi!
Because I had to be awake for a 5am/1200 UTC conference call with my office
this morning, I only worked two passes last (Saturday) evening. Both were
AO-85 passes, with different radios for each of the passes. It is amazing
that we have access to this satellite's FM transponder, so soon after its
launch.
The first pass I attempted was around 0215 UTC. This pass was an overhead
pass, so I took advantage of that to try another one of my Chinese-made
dual-band HTs (Wouxun KG-UV8D) with this U/V FM satellite. The KG-UV8D was
connected to my Elk log periodic. I had my SDRplay receiver out in the yard
for this pass, connected to the VHF crossed dipole sold by AMSAT-UK, with
HDSDR running on my 8-inch Windows 10 tablet to make an RF recording of
this pass. After the pass, I would play the RF recording from HDSDR into
the FoxTelem software, so the telemetry I captured would be uploaded to the
AMSAT server.
I had previously written a lot about the KG-UV8D in a thread on the QRZ.com
satellite forum last year. I had tested it against the Fox-1A engineering
model at two events in 2014, and it was able to work the transponder on the
engineering model without suffering from receiver desense when transmitting
on 70cm. I was working the transponder at the low-power setting (1W), and
would move the HT around to shield the radio from the model, all in attempts
to simulate working an actual satellite in orbit. Not hearing any desense,
I was hopeful this HT would be one that could work Fox-1A (now AO-85) full-
duplex. The answer...
YES
There are issues with the KG-UV8D's receiver, where you'll occasionally
hear what might be more static coming through on the receiver. The noise
level increases, even when receiving a stronger signal like from a local
2m or 70cm repeater, or other non-amateur transmitters. I had to be more
diligent in orienting my Elk log periodic, so I could hear the AO-85
downlink clearly. When I was able to get through the transponder, I could
clearly hear my voice in the earpiece I plugged into the HT. I also heard
myself in the RF recording written by HDSDR on my tablet. It helped that
I changed both the receive and transmit VFOs to use narrow FM, instead of
"wide" FM. My transmitted audio seemed better, when I heard myself on the
RF recording from HDSDR, and I could hear the downlink better on the HT
during the pass. I worked K8YSE/7 here in the Phoenix area and KO6TZ in
southern California just before the satellite was directly over my head.
This is in line with my previous test with the KG-UV9D, where lower power
levels were not sufficient to get through AO-85 until the satellite was
up from the horizon a bit.
For the uplink, I was able to get through using 435.165 MHz for my two
QSOs with the KG-UV8D. Downlink... I started on 145.9825 MHz, then tuned
down to 145.980 MHz, and later I tuned down to 145.9775 MHz. Just like I
saw when I used my KG-UV9D Friday evening, the sharper receive filters in
the Chinese-made radios made using the smaller tuning step (2.5 kHz)
useful.
After this pass, I played the HDSDR RF recording into FoxTelem, and
uploaded 9 packets to the AMSAT server. Had I used the Elk with the SDR
setup, I am sure I would have collected many more packets from that pass.
The second pass I worked, around 0400 UTC, was a shallow pass. AO-85 was
only up to a maximum elevation of just over 11 degrees. I used only my
Icom IC-2820H for this pass. I had used the IC-2820H as the uplink radio
for a pass I worked Friday evening with my SDRplay receiver and HDSDR
handling the downlink, but wanted to try the mobile radio by itself this
time. it had no problems hearing the downlink, once AO-85 rose above the
nearby mountains and houses.
I started the radio on 435.160 MHz for the uplink (with 67.0 Hz tone
activated for this VFO), and 145.980 MHz for the downlink. Both with
narrow FM, a suggestion that had been tweeted earlier by Peter 2E0SQL. I
was not able to get through using 435.160 MHz, but was able to when I
tuned my uplink to 435.165 MHz. Later in the pass, I could get through
when transmitting on 435.170 and 435.175 MHz. I had to use 15W, and at
times 50W, to get through. The pass was too shallow for me to get through
at 5W. Around the midpoint of the pass, possibly just after that, I had
to tune my receive VFO down to 145.975 MHz to hear the rest of the pass.
I mostly heard stations in California, along with W7JPI in southern
Arizona and WQ3U in Oregon, and logging a total of 5 QSOs (working all I
heard, except for WQ3U).
The later pass was more orderly, probably a function of the footprint
covering more of the Pacific Ocean. All stations allowed time for others
to make (or complete) their calls. Fading is still an issue, and we all
experienced the fades while trying to complete QSOs.
Some observations...
Now that I have a KG-UV9D HT, I probably won't use the KG-UV8D much. The
KG-UV9D's receiver is probably the best receiver for satellite work from
any of the Chinese-made HTs I have tried. The KG-UV8D *is* capable of full-
duplex operation on AO-85, something that I had been told last year would
not be possible with this radio (and before we had a U/V FM satellite to
test radios against).
While working the earlier pass with the HT, I kept an eye on HDSDR on my
tablet. Once again, with AO-85's downlink, the AFC function tracked the
downlink from start to finish. I would not have had to make any manual
adjustments to the downlink frequency, had I used the SDR setup as my
downlink receiver.
After installing a virtual audio cable on my laptop, I was able to feed
the RF recording I made with HDSDR into the FoxTelem software. I think this
is how I will send telemetry to the AMSAT server, unless I have an occasion
to use the FUNcube Dongle Pro+ and FoxTelem to send telemetry to the
server automatically. When I am able to work the passes, I will use the
SDRplay, which appears to work a little better for working satellites, and
in making a RF recording that FoxTelem is able to extract more data packets
from.
As I have been doing recently, I uploaded files related to last night's
AO-85 passes to my Dropbox space. You can get to that using this link:
http://dropbox.wd9ewk.net/
(press F5 if the folder/file listing doesn't appear immediately)
I have only one RF recording from last night, since I didn't use an SDR
receive setup for the later pass. I have MP3 files from each pass, to show
what I heard on the KG-UV8D and IC-2820H as I worked each pass. Photos
and screengrabs, too.
Thanks again to AMSAT for allowing us to use the FM transponder on AO-85 so
soon after the launch! I have a few radios, and combinations of radios, I
want to try with this U/V FM satellite. I have used different setups for
each AO-85 pass I have worked, and hope to continue this for a while. This
effort may take a pause while I attend the upcoming AMSAT Symposium, but I
will certainly continue this after the Symposium.

Phil,
Thanks for the post. Since I8CVS passed I had wanted to bring up a subject
but was a bit hesitant. I8CVS had a mountain of information. He helped me
with many things. It may seem a bit selfish but I regret that not only is
he a SK but all that information is lost. It probably became a victim of
the same 'paper eradication campaign' you described that will destroy your
docs.
Some info used to wind up on pages like this.
http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/tools/softwareArchive.php#win
I hope the docs you shared wind up on some "permanent" web site.
I am sure a recipe for gluten-free muffins or a youtube video of a cat
wearing a dress dancing the polka would generate more interest than our old
stuff from the old days but it would be a shame if it was lost.
Must run - my garden full of kale needs tending, I have an appointment at
the tattoo parlor and I need to pick up a new selfie stick to replace the
one I wore out.
tnx & 73 W9KE

Bob,
Thanks for the response. Was using my desktop "mic-in" jack. Soundcard is
a built in on my Dell Optiplex 755. Very limited functionality with driver
provided, i.e., poor mic input level control and (my) concerns that
sub-audible frequencies lost.
So, switched to a cheap USB soundcard (Begringer UCA202) which happened to
be on-hand. Claimed OK down to 10 Hz. Not fancy, but can input control
level.
TADA! Works!

Bob,
So far I have uploaded 276 frames of telemetry using the 9600 port of
the sub-band on my IC910h. This is wired directly to the "Line-In" of
my desk top computer.
I would not recommend using the "Mic-In" jack, or a laptop computer.
The 9600 port is used because it offers less filtering of the 0-200 Hz
of the audio band pass. This is the portion that is filtered heavily to
make PL tones sub audible in the radio , as well as remove 60 Hz and its
3rd at 180 Hz from the microphone input.

Hi!
I will be doing a demonstration of satellite operating
from a city park in the Phoenix neighborhood of Ahwatukee,
southeast of the Phoenix city center in grid DM43ah,
starting with SO-50 around 2100 UTC, and possibly until 0100
or 0130 UTC this evening. If you hear me on, please call
and join in.
73!

Subject: [amsat-bb] LilacSat Telemetry Capture for Later Upload?
Message-ID: <3DBDBF2C7993464FAA5D521298A2D99D@xxxxxx>

Against all odds, I was able to download the ISO image and created a
bootable USB flash drive to run the pre-packaged software for receiving
telemetry from LilacSat-2.
Certainly never thought I'd see GNU Radio running in this house!
My question is, it "appears" that the software is designed for real-time
capture and simultaneous real-time upload of the telemetry to the servers in
China.
Does anyone know if it's possible to capture the telemetry offline (no
internet connection) and then have it upload to the database once the
computer is back on an internet connection?
Thanks!
