Start your uplink at 435.165 st AOS and work up to 435.175 or .180 at
LOS. Hope this helps. I've worked it both wide and narrow.
W3MAT
*Made it out for my 5th attempt at an exchange on AO-85.
However, it was most disappointing in as much as a Ham in Southern
California dominated the bird for a full 7 minutes of my pass; if the
ham had been whipping out contacts I would not be objecting. Instead,
this ham was busy being Mr. Chatty and I think had no more than two
separate conversions. Discussions included some radio talk but also
expanded out into promotion of a ham fest and discussion of mutual
friends.
While I have not worked birds since 2012, I know that this type of
behavior was frowned upon back then and for good reason. When we go
to the trouble to get our equipment into a location where we have a
good clear line of sight and then only a limited window folks need to
move along with just an exchange of call sign and maybe throw in the
grid square if traffic permits.
This was not my first experience with this single ham hogging the time.
I am still without a contact and trying to figure out uplink freq.
Today, I took another hand held down with the downlink freq dialed in.
The only two of my uplink attempts that caused a squawk out of the
second radio was when I was on 435.175 (not narrow band) just past the
Max El, which was also just after the disappearance, at last, of Mr.
Chatty.
Frankly, I am not sure when I will bother again; not worth the time
and effort when I have to waste so much of the time with a Mr. Chatty
hogging time, while still trying to dial everything in.
On the other hand, I do welcome any uplink suggestions RE both
frequency and whether or not going with narrow band that anyone might
have; previously, the only input I received was from a ham in Hi
(thank you).

The ORS4 mission carrying 13 small satellites appears to be a go for
this evening US time. See the spaceflightnow.com lead story.
One of the cubesats is PrintSat which has a 3D printed structure and
will measure the performance of that material over a three year
mission. PrintSat is an experimental satellite with a downlink at
437.325 MHz. It will initially beacon every 1 minute with three packets
of telemetry data. The modulation is 9600 bps GMSK and the packets are
AX.25. The output power is about 1.4W into a whip so it should be
pretty easy to hear. We do not have a general use telemetry decoder but
we would very much appreciate reports of reception of the beacon. If
you hear it please send a report to

An International Space Station school contact has been planned with participants at Dragonskolan, Ume?, Sweden on 05 Nov. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 10:35 UTC. It is recommended that you start listening approximately 10 minutes before this time.The duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The contact will be a telebridge between NA1SS and VK6MJ. The contact should be audible over portions of Australia and adjacent areas. Interested parties are invited to listen in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. The contact is expected to be conducted in English.
Dragonskolan is one of the biggest upper secondary schools in Sweden and is located in central Ume?. Currently hosting 1820 students aged 16-19 and 300 staff; it has recently been renovated to meet modern needs in a stimulating learning environment.
At Dragonskolan, we have an ethos where we believe we can offer our students three meaningful and enjoyable years. Our core values are "open and bright", referring not only to the physical surroundings but also to the social climate.
Dragonskolan is the biggest meeting place for young people in Ume?,
A wide range of 3 year programs, college preparatory and vocational, are offered here, ranging from natural science to humanities and technological science.
At the core of the school is the Dragonskolan Technology Center where everything is taught from industrial welding technology to electronics, automation, computer science, CAD and much more.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. How would you describe the smell in space?
2. Is going to space what you expected it to be?
3. How dark is it dark in space?
4. Have you ever fantasized about seeing an alien life form?
5. Do you have access to internet and social media on the space station?
6. What is the first thing you want to do when you get back home?
7. What is the annual salary as an astronaut?
8. When are humans expected to go to Mars?
9. How does one feel in size aboard the space station?
10. If a person is in the middle of a room in aboard the space station
without reaching the walls. How would that person move from that
position without throwing something in the opposite direction?
11. Where does the oxygen come from?
12. How has your vision of life changed from being in space?
13. Which time is correct in space?
14. How do you take a shower in low gravity?

As I've noted on my YGroup ---- I too have noticed some serious SAT-HOGs having a QSO, which prevented me from making an HT-ARROW portable OP contact. (if in doubt I DVR my pass attempt)? My pass attempt was inundated with an AZ-Guru chatting with a 5-land power boy, so it's not just 6-land - it is an ALL USA 'ETIQUETTE' problem. I'm hoping this is all due to the newness and excitement of having a good loud FM SAT up again.
In a month from now you will see a fall off of OPs as the holidays consume many, snow-birds flock, and the effort to setup a pass will wain on many. I know I'll not be trying any portable HT-ARROW OPs when it gets windy below freezing outside. And Fox1C will soon fly helping to take some of the HAM load too.
I'm cooling my heels on portable AO-85 OPs letting things settle.?
But IF needed I'll start listing time/date of observed/DVR SAT-HOGs w/.mp3 on my YGroup for all to enjoy - not.?

Well the upside to people hogging up the AO-85 for me is that it makes it
easier for me to do demonstrations for the BSA Radio Merit Badge that I
council. Of course the downside being that I'd love to actually make a
contact for the Scouts.

Just one frequency for many square miles of coverage and everyone has their
own ideas of operations. Even on local repeaters - they get timed out.
This is why we need more sats and frequencies. Everyone can help do
something about that. It is better then just complaining - help fund the
new sats.

Take a break from the congestion.... come to the wide open multi-user
wideband transponder on PSAT-1. Downlink is good on a handheld arrow on
435.350 MHz FM. It should be able to support dozens of simultaneous full
duplex QSO's in the PSK31 waterfall.
Just pick an empty spot and key your TX solid for the full 8 minutes of the
pass on your 10 meter PSK31 uplink 28.121 MHz..
To run fullduplex, just run two copies of your favorite PSK31 software. One
receiving the FM downlink and the other transmitting on the SSB uplink. Even
better is to run Andy K0SM's TX-only uplink client that pre-adjusts for
Doppler so everyone can decode you with no adjustments.

I've reported this to the wily programmers.
However, I was wondering if others have their FoxTelem monitoring
program crash ... complaining about Java ??
(Java build 1.8.0_65-b17)
A little annoying now since I leave it monitoring/decoding and let
SatPC32 track.
I came in both today and yesterday to the window telling me about the
crash and the program needs re-start.
I didn't have this problem before the last Java mandatory updates .Now I
want a link to be able to roll-back the Win7/64 version I have installed.

Bob,
It is a shame it's not more popular. I have listened to the downlink
and it's a good signal. My apartment QTH makes it very difficult to
set up to use it, but most hams with a full home satellite station
should be able to use it very easily.
Maybe an award for working several different stations on it would help
increase the popularity?

I think an award might be a good idea Paul, It's certainly a quiet

Start your uplink at 435.165 st AOS and work up to 435.175 or .180 at
LOS. Hope this helps. I've worked it both wide and narrow.
W3MAT
*Made it out for my 5th attempt at an exchange on AO-85.
However, it was most disappointing in as much as a Ham in Southern
California dominated the bird for a full 7 minutes of my pass; if the
ham had been whipping out contacts I would not be objecting. Instead,
this ham was busy being Mr. Chatty and I think had no more than two
separate conversions. Discussions included some radio talk but also
expanded out into promotion of a ham fest and discussion of mutual
friends.
While I have not worked birds since 2012, I know that this type of
behavior was frowned upon back then and for good reason. When we go
to the trouble to get our equipment into a location where we have a
good clear line of sight and then only a limited window folks need to
move along with just an exchange of call sign and maybe throw in the
grid square if traffic permits.
This was not my first experience with this single ham hogging the time.
I am still without a contact and trying to figure out uplink freq.
Today, I took another hand held down with the downlink freq dialed in.
The only two of my uplink attempts that caused a squawk out of the
second radio was when I was on 435.175 (not narrow band) just past the
Max El, which was also just after the disappearance, at last, of Mr.
Chatty.
Frankly, I am not sure when I will bother again; not worth the time
and effort when I have to waste so much of the time with a Mr. Chatty
hogging time, while still trying to dial everything in.
On the other hand, I do welcome any uplink suggestions RE both
frequency and whether or not going with narrow band that anyone might
have; previously, the only input I received was from a ham in Hi
(thank you).

The ORS4 mission carrying 13 small satellites appears to be a go for
this evening US time. See the spaceflightnow.com lead story.
One of the cubesats is PrintSat which has a 3D printed structure and
will measure the performance of that material over a three year
mission. PrintSat is an experimental satellite with a downlink at
437.325 MHz. It will initially beacon every 1 minute with three packets
of telemetry data. The modulation is 9600 bps GMSK and the packets are
AX.25. The output power is about 1.4W into a whip so it should be
pretty easy to hear. We do not have a general use telemetry decoder but
we would very much appreciate reports of reception of the beacon. If
you hear it please send a report to

An International Space Station school contact has been planned with participants at Dragonskolan, Ume?, Sweden on 05 Nov. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 10:35 UTC. It is recommended that you start listening approximately 10 minutes before this time.The duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The contact will be a telebridge between NA1SS and VK6MJ. The contact should be audible over portions of Australia and adjacent areas. Interested parties are invited to listen in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. The contact is expected to be conducted in English.
Dragonskolan is one of the biggest upper secondary schools in Sweden and is located in central Ume?. Currently hosting 1820 students aged 16-19 and 300 staff; it has recently been renovated to meet modern needs in a stimulating learning environment.
At Dragonskolan, we have an ethos where we believe we can offer our students three meaningful and enjoyable years. Our core values are "open and bright", referring not only to the physical surroundings but also to the social climate.
Dragonskolan is the biggest meeting place for young people in Ume?,
A wide range of 3 year programs, college preparatory and vocational, are offered here, ranging from natural science to humanities and technological science.
At the core of the school is the Dragonskolan Technology Center where everything is taught from industrial welding technology to electronics, automation, computer science, CAD and much more.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. How would you describe the smell in space?
2. Is going to space what you expected it to be?
3. How dark is it dark in space?
4. Have you ever fantasized about seeing an alien life form?
5. Do you have access to internet and social media on the space station?
6. What is the first thing you want to do when you get back home?
7. What is the annual salary as an astronaut?
8. When are humans expected to go to Mars?
9. How does one feel in size aboard the space station?
10. If a person is in the middle of a room in aboard the space station
without reaching the walls. How would that person move from that
position without throwing something in the opposite direction?
11. Where does the oxygen come from?
12. How has your vision of life changed from being in space?
13. Which time is correct in space?
14. How do you take a shower in low gravity?

As I've noted on my YGroup ---- I too have noticed some serious SAT-HOGs having a QSO, which prevented me from making an HT-ARROW portable OP contact. (if in doubt I DVR my pass attempt)? My pass attempt was inundated with an AZ-Guru chatting with a 5-land power boy, so it's not just 6-land - it is an ALL USA 'ETIQUETTE' problem. I'm hoping this is all due to the newness and excitement of having a good loud FM SAT up again.
In a month from now you will see a fall off of OPs as the holidays consume many, snow-birds flock, and the effort to setup a pass will wain on many. I know I'll not be trying any portable HT-ARROW OPs when it gets windy below freezing outside. And Fox1C will soon fly helping to take some of the HAM load too.
I'm cooling my heels on portable AO-85 OPs letting things settle.?
But IF needed I'll start listing time/date of observed/DVR SAT-HOGs w/.mp3 on my YGroup for all to enjoy - not.?

Well the upside to people hogging up the AO-85 for me is that it makes it
easier for me to do demonstrations for the BSA Radio Merit Badge that I
council. Of course the downside being that I'd love to actually make a
contact for the Scouts.

Just one frequency for many square miles of coverage and everyone has their
own ideas of operations. Even on local repeaters - they get timed out.
This is why we need more sats and frequencies. Everyone can help do
something about that. It is better then just complaining - help fund the
new sats.

Take a break from the congestion.... come to the wide open multi-user
wideband transponder on PSAT-1. Downlink is good on a handheld arrow on
435.350 MHz FM. It should be able to support dozens of simultaneous full
duplex QSO's in the PSK31 waterfall.
Just pick an empty spot and key your TX solid for the full 8 minutes of the
pass on your 10 meter PSK31 uplink 28.121 MHz..
To run fullduplex, just run two copies of your favorite PSK31 software. One
receiving the FM downlink and the other transmitting on the SSB uplink. Even
better is to run Andy K0SM's TX-only uplink client that pre-adjusts for
Doppler so everyone can decode you with no adjustments.

I've reported this to the wily programmers.
However, I was wondering if others have their FoxTelem monitoring
program crash ... complaining about Java ??
(Java build 1.8.0_65-b17)
A little annoying now since I leave it monitoring/decoding and let
SatPC32 track.
I came in both today and yesterday to the window telling me about the
crash and the program needs re-start.
I didn't have this problem before the last Java mandatory updates .Now I
want a link to be able to roll-back the Win7/64 version I have installed.

Bob,
It is a shame it's not more popular. I have listened to the downlink
and it's a good signal. My apartment QTH makes it very difficult to
set up to use it, but most hams with a full home satellite station
should be able to use it very easily.
Maybe an award for working several different stations on it would help
increase the popularity?

I think an award might be a good idea Paul, It's certainly a quiet
