I've never devoted much time to VHF/UHF operation aside from satellite
operation and now in retirement I'm thinking of exploring this new
dimension. Since I don't have a lot of space for really long boom yagis and
separate installations for satellite and EME operation I'm looking for an
antenna system that would do double duty. I'd be interested in any
suggestion the group might have in terms of antennas that would work well
for both activities as I could replace my current M2 yagis with something
else for 2/435 and maybe 1.2 ghz.

PLEASE NOTE: There has been a correction to question #14 from our previous
press release posting.
An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at PSU. Wittayanusorn School, Kho Hong District, Hat Yai,
Songkhla, Thailand on 30 Jan. The event is scheduled to begin at
approximately 11:06 UTC. The duration of the contact is approximately 9
minutes and 30 seconds. The contact will be direct between OR4ISS and E29AJ.
The contact should be audible over Thailand 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.
PSU. Wittayanusorn School, established in 2005, is a Prince of Songkla
University affiliated private high school in Hatyai, Songkhla Province,
Thailand. The school serves approximately 1,200 students in 7th to 12th
grade. The school's identity colors are blue and grey. The blue represents
sustainability and grey stands for wisdom. The school motto is "wisdom
brings lasting success and happiness". The guiding principle is "our soul
is for the benefit of mankind". The desired characteristics of our students
are "SMART+" which are referred to scientific mind, good manner, aesthetic
appreciation, responsibility and reliability, teamwork, and +global
citizenship. Green education is our school's uniqueness which focuses on
education for sustainable development.
PSU. Wittayanusorn School is dedicated to create an exceptional teaching and
learning environment in which morality is emphasized, science and
mathematics concepts are embedded. The school curriculum is designed to
maximize each student's potential for critical thinking, intellectual
curiosity, community involvement, and responsible leadership. Additionally,
the school has been selected by the Ministry of Science and Technology to be
one of the first four regional schools of the country to host a special
three-year science classroom program for high school level, grades 10 to 12,
according to the proactive human resources development project to upgrade
the science and technology capability of the country. The selection of
students with high ability in mathematics and science for the science
classroom program is carried out by the Institute for the Promotion of
Teaching Science and Technology and closely collaborated with Prince of
Songkla University. Each student who pass
es the selection will be entitled to a scholarship from grade 10 onwards,
and subjected to certain additional criteria, he/she will be eligible for a
scholarship until he/she can complete his/her education up to a doctoral
degree level.
PSU Wittayanusorn School was accredited with the score 97.02% by the Office
of National Education Standards and Quality Assessment on May 26, 2015.

ABOUT ARISS
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative
venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that
support the International Space Station (ISS). In the United States,
sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American
Radio Relay League (ARRL), and the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA). The primary goal of ARISS is to promote exploration
of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) topics by
organizing scheduled contacts via amateur radio between crew members aboard
the ISS and students in classrooms or informal education venues. With the
help of experienced amateur radio volunteers, ISS crews speak directly with
large audiences in a variety of public forums. Before and during these
radio contacts, students, teachers, parents, and communities learn about
space, space technologies, and amateur radio. For more information, see
www.ariss.org, www.amsat.org, and www.a
rrl.org.
Thank you & 73,

Message-ID:

I have noticed that LilacSat-2's FM transponder has been on nearly
continuously for the past four days They may be keeping it active
continuously during the holiday period in China.
It's worth checking out if you haven't worked it yet. It's got a good
signal and can be easier to track than SO-50 because the carrier stays
active for a period when not receiving signals. The downlink antenna
also uses circular polarization, so there is less fading when using
linear antennas than on SO-50.
Uplink: 144.350 MHz FM (No PL)
Downlink: 437.200 MHz FM
Keep in mind that this uplink frequency is not within the normal
145.800 - 146.000 MHz satellite subband on two meters, though this
frequency is within the 144.300 - 144.500 MHz "New OSCAR subband" in
the ARRL band plan and is allocated to the Amateur Satellite Service
(as is the entirety of 144 - 146 MHz). On passes over the United
States, quite a few packet signals can be heard through the
transponder.
If you use LoTW, the satellite name to use when uploading QSOs is 'CAS-3H.'

Hi Folks,
I have switched her into continuous transponder mode. Plan, as normal, is
to switch back to educational mode on Sunday PM UTC.
Enjoy the transponder, and have a great weekend.

Enzo:
MixW has a 1200 baud BPSK decoder. See:
http://mixw.net/index.php?j=downloads
To access the modem, select: MODE > PACKET > MODE SETTINGS.
Click the MODEM tab and select "VHF 1200 BAUD SATELLITE PSK".
I'm guessing you have a way of routing the audio from SDR Sharp to MixW.
If not, you could use Virtual Audio Cable or the sound card loop back
method.
Hope this helps...

And now it's been reported back in telemetry only mode as of 21:31

Subject: [amsat-bb] LilacSat-2 FM Transponder
I have noticed that LilacSat-2's FM transponder has been on nearly
continuously for the past four days They may be keeping it active
continuously during the holiday period in China.
It's worth checking out if you haven't worked it yet. It's got a good signal
and can be easier to track than SO-50 because the carrier stays active for a
period when not receiving signals. The downlink antenna also uses circular
polarization, so there is less fading when using linear antennas than on
SO-50.
Uplink: 144.350 MHz FM (No PL)
Downlink: 437.200 MHz FM
Keep in mind that this uplink frequency is not within the normal
145.800 - 146.000 MHz satellite subband on two meters, though this frequency
is within the 144.300 - 144.500 MHz "New OSCAR subband" in the ARRL band
plan and is allocated to the Amateur Satellite Service (as is the entirety
of 144 - 146 MHz). On passes over the United States, quite a few packet
signals can be heard through the transponder.
If you use LoTW, the satellite name to use when uploading QSOs is 'CAS-3H.'

Paul, N8HM

Ah, didn't realize it just deployed. Makes sense now why I can't find it.
