If you liked this video, please subscribe to my YouTube channel, Space Comms:

https://youtube.com/c/SpaceComms1

It was two years ago this month that I first received the
International Space Station. To commemorate that reception I decided
to re-edit the original video I made of it which has received over
13,000 views to date.

It was because of that video's popularity that I decided to keep
making videos and ultimately, to create the Space Comms channel.

Since it's always exciting to receive the ISS, I still do it today,
and one day I'll make contact too!

Thanks everyone for watching my videos and good luck with all your
radio adventures!

The transverter itself can cover the satellite portion of the band. The
specs say it covers 432 - 442 MHz. The issue is that your IF radio, the
Icom IC-706MkII is what I believe you meant to say, can tune high enough on
the 10M band and above for RECEPTION at the appropriate frequencies, but
will not transmit above 30 MHz and therefore, through this transverter,
will not transmit above 435.0000 MHz. I know this from experience with my
222 MHz transverter. Fortunately, on that band, 28-30 MHz -> 222-224 MHz,
and the portion of the band above that (224-225 MHz) is mostly FM repeater
OUTPUTS, which the radio will happily receive through my transverter.

What you would need to do is defeat the 10M band transmit limits on your
IC-706MkII. You can probably find mods to allow that.

Your other issue, which I also had to overcome with my 222 transverter, is
that the transverter needs (accepts) only a very low RF power signal on
transmit (1-100 milliwatts) and your IC-706MkII is happy to transmit 1000
times as much power, up to 100 watts. So you will need to carefully
interface the radio to the transverter to insure that the transmit power is
nice and low. In my case, my transverter interface includes a source of
negative voltage to feed into the ALC input of the radio, which can drop
the power low enough. Interesting (=undesirable)  things happen if this ALC
circuit fails, or more likely, gets accidentally disconnected. I was
fortunate, when I transmitted 100 watts into my transverter by accident, I
only fried a 50 ohm resistor in the input circuit, and after replacing it,
all was good again, The same may or may not hold with this transverter.

Good luck in your search for a solution.

Thanks to the response from the group.  The V+ setting worked fine.  I knew
I was missing something.

The CAT control via the Virtual Serial Port Emulation software is a bit
finicky and sometimes may take 5 or 10 seconds to update SatPC32 as Doppler
changes,  Then it will seem to catch up and be pretty current.  Oh well. I
think though it will work for what I need.

Thanks to all.

Hi Tom,
the program updates both radio frequencies for Doppler correction as
soon as  the Doppler shift of the higher band changed by a certain
amount of Hz (interval). You can set the interval in menu "CAT",
separatedly for FM and SSB.  Set the FM interval to - say - 100 Hz and
the SSB interval to 50. With SO-50 the program will then update both
radio frequencies when the Doppler shift of the UHF downlink changed by
100 Hz or more.

Message-ID: <E47DF6D837D84D56A136EEC33A9C108B@xxxxxxxxx>
Content-Type: text/plain;	charset="iso-8859-1"

Hi all,

I?m making the ***EUROPEAN*** list for possible schedules with 6W8CK,
Conrad, in Senegal.

So,EUROPEAN stations, can send me an email to see the possibilties. Today,
1th February the first list with ONLY European stations were sent,and
checked by 6W8CK to try it.
It was accepted.

USA stations lists are taken by Frank, K4FEG and I believe, Paul N8HM.

I will not take lists for USA stations.

Read carefully the paragraph where a simulation pass between your grid and
Conrad`s  gridsquare  IK14MH must be done for
you, (the interested statio) and the send me the Satellite-Day-Hour UTC 
proposal  ..

Second: If your proposal is approved, I?ll sent back an email confirming it
to you.Conrad says YOU MAKE THE CALL..you CALL and he will be listening
trying to catch you.
You can send me several passes proposals in order to try the QSO ..But when
QSO is done.. DON?T TRY AGAIN . Please, understand that there are more
stations waiting for scheds and few days.
Thanks for your patience. I must attend my daily work and in free time I?m
behind the PC writing to all.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------

Conrad, 6W8CK , will be in Senegal until mid-February 2016.

He will try to be active on CW near 145.930 on AO-7 and 435.830 on
FO-29 during the afternoons, but may also be available on late night /
early morning passes for skeds.

Conrad is using a Yaesu FT-736R and an Elk antenna mounted up 5 meter
above ground. He does occasionally lose power, so keep this in mind if
you do not hear him on a particular pass.

QSL only via the DARC bureau to his home call, DF7OL. He may also
return to Senegal from November 2016 - February 2017.


Sometimes , he can take  some private schedules .If you want an schedule 
with him,make
a simulation of a satellite pass ( AO-7,FO-29) between your Gridsquare and
the Conrad
gridsquare : IK14MH  . Then choose what you consider is the best one
opportunity of QSO.

Write the satellite-day-hour UTC you consider it?s the best option for the
QSO and send it to me.

Send it to:

ea1iw@xxxxx.xxx
ea1iw@xxx.xx


Then I will forward your  QSO proposal to Conrad and he can decide if
possible. If It?s OK,
I?ll send you back again an email confirming the sched with Conrad.

That?s all !
73,s?
Antonio (EA1IW)

They start at  8:10 a.m. Eastern for a 5.5 hour EVA and the only pass
I have is at 16:43 so I won't be able to hear anything, which I've
never even tried, but I'm learning about it by reviewing the following

To whom it may concern,

I'm Brandon Shirley, I am conducting these surveys for my PhD research at
Utah State University. I really need your participation. There is a chance
to win some gift cards. Please see below for more information and the link
to take the survey. The survey should only take about 10 minutes. Reading
this wordy email will probably take more time than actually taking the
survey. Thanks.

*** This is a reminder email for the Development Preferences Survey. Please
note that the Background section of the survey is the same for all surveys,
it establishes your background while allowing the results to remain
anonymous. ***

Dr. Stephen Clyde & Brandon Shirley in the Department of Computer Science at
Utah State University are conducting a set of surveys as part of Brandon's
PhD research to find out more about software development practices and
attitudes in the space industry.

You have received this email because of your interest in or involvement with
the space industry. We greatly need your participation. We are asking that
anyone that has insight into in software development that relates to space
industry participate in this survey. The beginning of the survey has
background questions that will give context to your responses.

The survey set is currently made of six surveys, listed below, that will be
distributed over the course of a few months. You have a chance at receiving
a gift card for participating in this survey as well as a chance at
receiving a gift card for your overall participation in the entire survey
set. There will be seven drawings for gift cards: one drawing for each
survey and one overall drawing for the survey set. For each survey-specific
drawing, two participants in that survey will be selected at random to
receive a $25 gift card. For the overall drawing, two participants from the
pool of all participants of any survey will be selected to receive a $200
gift card. At the end of this survey, you will be redirected to a webpage
that asks for an email address. You must enter a valid email address to be
considered for this surveys drawing or the overall survey set drawing.
Each survey stands on its own: opting to not participate in one survey does
not exclude you in any way from participating in any subsequent surveys.
Likewise, participating in one survey does not obligate you to participate
in any subsequent surveys. The surveys are as follows and will be
distributed in the following order:

    SISDPA : Core Concepts
    SISDPA : Development Preferences                         <========= We
are here =========
    SISDPA : Open Systems Architecture and Modularity
    SISDPA : Security
    SISDPA : Reuse, Interoperability, Portability, Code Complexity
    SISDPA : Network


You can you use the link below to access the Development Preferences survey.

We greatly need your participation and your responses to the surveys will
make a meaningful contribution to this research while allowing you an
opportunity to reflect on you current software development practices and how
these practices affect the projects on which you have and will work. This
survey set will be used to determine the path of future research, as well as
increase the body of knowledge that relates to software development
practices and attitudes in the space industry.

You can access the Development Preferences survey of the Space Industry
Software Development Practices and Attitudes survey set using the following
link:

https://usu.co1.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_3XgKdvBZTEVC7n7

You can also copy and paste the above URL into your address bar if you
prefer not to click on the link.

We plan to send out one reminder email a week until the survey closes. The
duration of the survey will be two to three weeks. You will receive the
reminder email regardless of where or not you have participated in a survey.
The subject of the email will read "Reminder Email..." for these weekly
reminders, and "New Distribution..." at the start of a new survey.
See
http://brandon.bluezone.usu.edu/Files/LOISpaceSoftwareAttitudes_Final.pdf
for the Letter of Intent (LOI) that explains your role as a participant
should you choose to participate. If you have questions please direct them
to Brandon Shirley, via email b.l.s@xxxxxxxxx.xxx.xxxx the LOI lists
additional contact information.

Once the survey set is closed, we will analyze the data, and generate
results. We will seek publication of these results in a conference or journal.
This is a legitimate request for you participation, if you have any
questions about the validity of this email you may refer to the Letter of
Intent, contact Brandon Shirley, via email b.l.s@xxxxxxxxx.xxx.xxxx or Utah

anticipated at 18:28 UTC

The duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The
contact will be a telebridge between NA1SS and VK5KHZ in Australia. The
contact is expected to be conducted in English.

Audio from this contact will be fed into the:

EchoLink *AMSAT* (101377) Server

IRLP Node 9010 Discovery Reflector

Streaming Audio at: https://sites.google.com/site/arissaudio/

Audio on Echolink & web stream is generally transmitted around 20 minutes
prior to the contact taking place so that you can hear some of the
preparation that occurs. IRLP will begin just prior to the ground station
call to the ISS.

Breaks on Echolink and IRLP are done manually approximately every third
question, connected repeaters may time out.

** Contact times are approximate. If the ISS executes a reboost or other
manoeuvre, the AOS (Acquisition Of Signal) time may alter by a few minutes
**

I think GENSO as a project is just about dead. Good luck to you!
