Jerry:
On behalf of all who read the Amsat BB,
Thanks for taking time to answer Loons questions.I am sure many more
operators had the same ones.Your reply
Sure answered a LOT of questions.Also thanks for all of your countless
hours researching and solving problems which will insure the next
generation of fox satellites will even better as we learn from this one.
On behalf of all of us satellite operators,
A big thank you!

Yes, Thanks to Jerry for taking time from your day to type a reply and
answer questions.
I certainly didn't intend my message from early this morning to sound
harsh, and I apologize if I came off that way.
Like others, I spent quite a deal of time researching the new Fox-1
satellite and after watching the video posted on AMSATS "Meet The Fox
Project", around the 7:53 mark is where it is stated that operators with
hand held equipment would be able to work this new satellite. So, I was
quite eager and anxious to have something else circling the globe other
than just SO-50 for us FM'ers, as I do not have the proper equipment to
work the linear birds. I don't have to rehash the issues that came along
and I found that working this new bird with hand held equipment was not as
easy as it was presented in the video, and yes, I did become a bit
frustrated ... kind of like getting that new train for Christmas and
finding that you don't have a locomotive to pull the train. So if I
stepped on toes, I am truly sorry. I will sit back, be patient, and let
this be a learning experience, since from the time I entered into the
amateur radio satellite arena, there were already working FM birds in
place, two of those which have since "passed away". This is my first
experience of having a new FM bird launched into space and I admit, I was
expecting it to work as well as what is already up there. This is truly a
learning experience for the people who turned the first screw right down to
those of us who eagerly watch our tracking data and step outside to wave an
antenna at the sky (while getting peculiar looks from our neighbors). My
hats off to all those who are involved with the Fox project, and I do look
forward to the future Fox satellites. Take care and have a great day.

At about 1:40 pm EDT it was reported that the JLENS blimp normally tethered
at Aberdeen Proving Ground (NE of Baltimore) has broken free and is
drifting.. May be of interest for experiments involving radio tracking by
nearby radio amateurs.

You were not harsh, you spoke the truth. My policy is that you can't
get something done if you're not honest. Tell me the truth, don't worry
about hurting my feelings that's my problem. I'm sure all y'all are
familiar with how to solve a problem - describe it well, and be willing
to help, in this case perhaps by testing/reporting more if asked.
I would appreciate it if you could send me the URL for that video, so I
can understand which one it is and exactly what was said. Especially if
it was me saying it, I tend to forget what happened two weeks ago if
it's not engineering stuff.
And believe me the whole Fox Team is unhappy with the missing locomotive
(or the fact that it's an underpowered one) so we're working hard to
make sure we learn from it and don't repeat the situation. We'd also
plan to test AO-85 more and offer suggestions on how to best work the
satellite.
This is the nature of amateur radio satellites, you don't get a
do-over. But you do gain invaluable experience. Ground testing
revealed no such problem as we are seeing; Murphy on the other hand
doesn't care about that and a drop dead date is just that regardless you
being as ready as you'd like to be. That is the nature of hitchhiking a
ride on a rocket! You go with what you've got or you don't go at all
(and may never get the chance for a free ride again if you don't deliver).

Just minutes ago, it has been reported that the 200? radar blimp tethered
in Northern Maryland has broken loose.
It does NOT have APRS on it, but we need people in MD and PA to look up in
the sky for it and user your APRS to send DF bearing lines so we can track
it.

I have not had time to VERIFY this, but am throwing it out there anyway.
This is what APRS is desiged to do. Just enter y our bearing line in a DF
packet and we can all see the plot on APRS.

It is PSAT-1.
The first packet is telemetry #891 and shows a battery voltage of 8.13
volts and 347mA. The other 3 values are temepratures and need equations
to decode.
The second packet is orbit number 196 and minute 57 and the alphabet soup
is the spin data. Just plot every 3 characters in the string as X,Y,Z
components of the Sun angle and you can see how it is spinning. Plot
capital letters as positive numbers (A-Z) and lower case letters as
negative numbers (a-z).
The TOCALL of APOFF says the APRS digipeater is OFF to save power so that
the PSK31 Transponder can remain on at full power all the time. PSK31
downlink is 435.350 FM. Uplink is 28.120 mHz PSK31. See:]

It seems I have an issue running Orbitron and Chrome simultaneously. My
laptop runs on Windows Vista (I know, there's the first problem, right), I
also run a second monitor, and I am running the latest version of
Orbitron. If I try and browse the web on the laptop monitor with Orbitron
running on my second screen, the computer will inevitably lock up after a
few minutes of browsing. Has anyone else ran into a similar problem and
what was the solution, if any? For now, I start Orbitron, run TLE updates,
then save the predictions to a file, exit Orbitron, then keep open the
predictions in Notepad.
Thanks

In Raleigh, NC I picked up Kjell in the middle of his answer to
question 4. Kjell got through answering question 10 but after that
there was a longer than normal break and then Kjell said goodbye and
signed off. The end of that last transmission was at 10:24:04 Eastern,
I believe that's 14:24:04 UTC.
I was surprised he lost them that early because I had their pass
ending at 10:26:06 Eastern (14:26:06 UTC). I was using keps downloaded
last night from Celestrak in Orbitron.

Interested in hosting an ARISS contact? The window is now open from
2015-09-01 to 2015-11-01. These proposals will be for school contacts
during the
second half of 2016. Go to http://www.arrl.org/hosting-an-ariss-contact
or http://www.ariss.org/apply-to-host-an-ariss-contact.html for full
details.
To help organizations in preparing their proposals, the ARISS Program
Coordinator will offer hour-long online information sessions. These are
designed to provide more information regarding US ARISS contacts and the
proposal
process and offer an opportunity to ask questions. While attending an

>From 2015-12-20 to 2016-01-04, there will be no US Operational Segment
(USOS)
hams on board ISS. So any schools contacts during this period will be
conducted by the ARISS Russia team.
****************************************************************************
ARISS is always glad to receive listener reports for the above contacts.
ARISS thanks everyone in advance for their assistance. Feel free to send
your reports to aj9n@xxxxx.xxx or aj9n@xxx.xxx.
****************************************************************************
Several of you have sent me emails asking about the RAC ARISS website and
not being able to get in. That has now been changed to
http://www.ariss.org/
Note that there are links to other ARISS websites from this site.
****************************************************************************
Looking for something new to do? How about receiving DATV from the ISS?
If interested, then please go to the ARISS-EU website for complete
details. Look for the buttons indicating Ham Video.
