Hello I just tried at 20:15 ish heard a couple stations VA7JV? Anyway I
could not hear myself on the downlink. I was using 435.172??
What is the exact uplink? I have two radios and two antennas real full
duplex... :)
Thanks for any help.

Congratulations on another successful event. Thank you for what you do for
our hobby and the advancement of satellite communications.
The passion you demonstrate towards it, is an encouragement to newcomers
like me. And like me, there are a lot of operators that are grateful for
the knowledge you share and the support you provide.
Keep up the good work!

Kevin,
Remember that you have to tune the uplink throughout the pass. Start at
435.160 MHz at your AOS and tune in 5 kHz increments as needed up to
435.180 MHz. The AFC is pretty good and will tolerate you being off to some
degree.
The other issue is uplink power and polarity. As I just mentioned in my
other reply, polarity really makes a huge difference. When using an Arrow,
I'll transmit and not hear myself and with just a slight twist of the
antenna, I'll be in full quieting.

Paul, N8HM

There is a cubesat launch opportunity on a Russian Dnepr rocket going in
summer 2016 going to ~500 km Sun Synchronus orbit with some extra slots for
cubesats (1Us all the way up to 12Us). If interested, please contact Abe
Bonnema at A.R.Bonnema@xxxxxxxx.xx with details of your mission.
Of course don't bother the poor man unless you can pay for it...

No, I was interested in the UHF uplink and UHF downlink, Not the
microwave transponders... If its there, the South American UHF Pirates
will probably fill it up pretty fast...

Mark,
I might add that most of the psk31 decoderS seem to work. I have been
using DigiPan, Fldigi and my lash up of some of the WinPSK technology.
If you use DopplerPSK you don't have to worry about a full duplex psk
program - one app is your receiver and one app is your transmitter.
Most days I find I am the only one on the bird while it is visible here
in VA. But I have been able to make 4 unique contacts so far. KC4LE and
I have several repeat contacts in the past week.
What Bob says about transmitting continuously is so true - your
transmitter has to be able to stand the 10 minutes or so. But it is
bothersome to see a signal, click on it to start decode (which is not
instantaneous) and the station stops transmitting.
You can tell the stations that are using doppler control on the uplink
as their psk31 traces are more or less a vertical line as apposed to the
traces that move rapidly down in frequency (high tone to low tone).
There is a lot of 10m ground activity as well as some robot that tells
me I am being received at some ground station, hi
The 70cm signal seems to be hard to decode with a lot of errors from
noise or whatever so you want to put a lot of redundancy in your
messages and keep the message short but repeat them often so other
stations might decode the pieces eventually.
I am finding a protocol similar to JT65 etc where you call cq, you
acknowledge a station answering your cq with your grid, they acknowledge
your grid and send their grid, when you decode their grid you can send
73s. So the 5 messages like DppplerPSK has works very well and that is
all the time there is on a pass.
Give it a try. Remember the downlink doppler on 70cm is going to shift
the signal up by 10 KHz at AOS, to zero at TCA and down 10 KHz by the
end. Your can program 5 memories in your radio, hand tune the downlink
or use one of the doppler control programs for the downlink.
I have found that the idea of shifting the audio tone instead of the RF
carrier (that is keep the USB transmitter right on 28.120) works much
better for decoding the signal.
Probably too much info at the moment, but come back to it after getting
your feet wet.
73 and see you on NO-84 psk31

Greetings!
Rotators are great, but I've been thinking about a lower-cost and more
portable alternative. My method is not better - just different.
After carefully monitoring comments from others here and elsewhere online,
tonight all the pieces came together and the scheme actually worked even
better than I expected. And I wasn't even in a particularly good location!
Basically, I used a couple of the dual-band Arrow antennas that many people
already have.
I wrote up the details with a couple of pictures on a little 1 1/2 page PDF
that you can read at the following URL if something like this interests you.

Hi Enzo,
It's possible to decode the XW-2 series using any 9k6 AX.25 software
TNC. I've used direwolf successfully.
GOMX-3 uses CSP, so you'll probably need some special software.
The remaining satellites use 4k8 or 9k6 GFSK or GMSK, but I'm not sure
if it's AX.25 or not. Perhaps you can try some AX.25 software TNC.
