Hi everybody,
I'll be active in the rare grid GH52dx (farm QTH) on most satellites from
today until next wednesday.
Try to find me specially on AO-07 and FO-29.

I just hooked up my FT-847 9k6 output to the Fox Telemetry decoder vers 1.03
There was a decent pass over VT just now and I see 82 decodes.
My question is: in the settings screen, I didn't have 'upload to server'
checked so nothing uploaded. Is it possible to send that data after the
pass? (I now have 'upload to server' checked)

Hi Mike, yes that should really be a feature, but it isn't. It is
somewhere on the to-do list.
If you recorded the pass you can replay it through FoxTelem. Even though
it will not decode additional Frames, it will queue them for upload.

Hi Chris,
Got it! I just ran another pass and got an additional 128 decodes and I
see that my call is listed on the FOX telemetry page as having received
my upload so it's all good.
Tnx!

AMSAT NEWS SERVICE
ANS-038
The AMSAT News Service bulletins are a free, weekly news and infor-
mation service of AMSAT North America, The Radio Amateur Satellite
Corporation. ANS publishes news related to Amateur Radio in Space
including reports on the activities of a worldwide group of Amateur
Radio operators who share an active interest in designing, building,
launching and communicating through analog and digital Amateur Radio
satellites.
The news feed on http://www.amsat.org publishes news of Amateur
Radio in Space as soon as our volunteers can post it.
Please send any amateur satellite news or reports to:

ChubuSat-2 and ChubuSat-3 Launch Information
Nagoya University(NU) and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries(MHI) developed 50kg
microsatellite ChubuSat-2(NU) and ChubuSat-3(MHI). These satellites have
amateur VHF receiver and amateur UHF transmitter, and will be launched on
Feb. 12 2016 from Tanegashima, Japan. Komaki Amateur SATCOM Club operates
these satellites from Komaki, Japan.
After the satellite separation, each satellite will transmit UHF CW beacon
message including battery voltage etc. which is very important information
for our initial and critical operation. So we are very happy if you receive
the CW beacon message and report to us
chubusat2@xxxxxxxx.xxxx.xxxxxxxx.xx.xx
In following WEB site, we show the information(frequency, format, TLE, etc.)
about ChubuSat-2 and ChubuSat-3. If we have your report, we will show your
report in this page.
https://www.frontier.phys.nagoya-u.ac.jp/en/chubusat/chubusat_satellite2.html
Both satellite will provide the message exchange service. After the on-orbit
checkout of the satellite(maybe one month after launch), you can use this
service, sending your message with VHF uplink, then your message is written
to the on-board memory. By sending inquiry message, anyone can read your
message with UHF downlink.
ChubuSat-2 Satellite
Uplink: 145.815 MHz FSK 1200bps
Downlink: 437.100 MHz GMSK 9600bps
ChubuSat-3 Satellite
Uplink: 145.840 MHz FSK 1200bps
Downlink: 437.425 MHz GMSK 9600bps
The uplink/downlink format will be uploaded in above WEB site.
We hope you get interested in our satellites, receive beacon messages, and
enjoy the message exchange service.

AMSAT Dayton Booth Volunteers Needed
Call for Volunteers for the AMSAT Booth at Dayton 2016
The 2016 Dayton Hamvention?, sponsored by the Dayton Amateur Radio
Association
will be held this year on May 20-22. ?Dayton? is the largest hamfest in the
United States, and AMSAT will be there again this year.
You can assist AMSAT by volunteering to help staff the booth. While
there, you
will meet other AMSAT members, interact with the satellite designers,
builders,
and operators, and enjoy all that Dayton has to offer.
People are needed to assist with the setup of the booth on Thursday, May
19 (A
few people to move the equipment from the storage area leaving the hotel
at 9
am, most at the Arena from 11am to 4 pm), to staff the booth Friday (9
am to 6
pm), Saturday (9 am to 5 pm), and Sunday (9 am to 1 pm), and pack up on
Sunday
(1 pm to 3 pm). If you are leaving late Sunday, or Monday morning, please
consider helping transport the display to the storage area on the south
side of
Dayton. This is normally completed by 5 pm. Most people volunteer for
one or
more 2 hour shifts in the booth.
Please send an e-mail to Steve Belter, N9IP if you are willing to help
AMSAT at
the Hamvention. Please let Steve know as soon as possible if you?re
available to
assist.
If you missed the Hamvention the last few years, there were some changes
in the
Ball Arena, and the AMSAT exhibit was part of that change. We now have
a 3 X 3
booth arrangement, with the engineering and software display on one side
of the
aisle, and the sale area on the opposite side. The booth numbers are now
444-446 and 433-435. We will be very near the old exhibit area, within
sight of
the ARRL exhibit.
[ANS thanks Steve, N9IP, for the above information]

Dayton Thursday Dinner and Beverages at Tickets Pub and Eatery
Thursday night, 1800-2000. The annual AMSAT ?Dinner at Tickets? party
will be
held Thursday, May 19, at 1800 EDT at the Tickets Pub & Eatery. Everyone is
invited regardless of whether or not they helped with setup or plan to
work in
the booth.
You?ll find a great selection of Greek and American food and excellent
company!
No program or speaker, just good conversation. Food can be ordered from the
menu; drinks (beer, wine, sodas and iced tea) are available at the bar.
Come as
you are. Bring some friends and have a great time the night before
Hamvention?.

FoxTelem Version 1.03 Released
This version of FoxTelem uses a new datafile format. While we store our
data on the server in an SQL database, we use a flat file database for
FoxTelem.
A flat file format is nearly optimal for a program that mostly adds new
data to
the end of a growing list. With that said, we need to be able to load
sections
of the data into memory for efficient analysis. The new data file
format allows
that. If you have been downloading data from the server for analysis,
you will
see that this format is much faster.
One major change is the ability to automatically switch between low speed
and high speed. This will help unattended stations gather as much
telemetry as
possible. The "auto" mode actually runs both decoders at the same time, so
make sure your computer has enough CPU power to cope.
Graphing has been updated to support better analysis of the spacecraft by
the AMSAT Operations team and amateur scientists everywhere.
This version also contains new features that will be required for
Fox-1Cliff and Fox-1D.
You can download it here:

AMSAT Partners With Ragnorak Industries Cubesat Challenge Team
AMSAT is participating in the Cube Quest Challenge as a partner with
Ragnarok
Industries. Members of the AMSAT - ASCENT team are designing the
communications
package which will be 5.6 GHz uplink and 10.5 GHz. downlink and will use
digital
modulation. At the end of the mission, the 6U cubesat will be put into a
stable
lunar orbit and AMSAT will be able to operate the satellite as a digital
regenerative transponder.
Many of the details are still in development and the ASCENT team is always
looking for U.S. citizen volunteers to help with the design, prototype and
testing. There is no guarantee Ragnarok's submission will be accepted by
NASA
but if it is, this could be an exciting mission for the amateur
community that
allows amateurs to have an active role in collecting telemetry and range
rate
data that is crucial to the mission and end up with a satellite that
allows EME
type communications between relatively small (1-2meter) earth stations.

Missions to the Future Technologies and the Space Exploration with CubeSats.
In detail, the Symposium is covering the following topics:
- Scientific Instruments/Sensors on CubeSats
- Technology Demonstration on CubeSats (e.g. formation flying, IODs)
- Micro-g Experiments on CubeSats
- Micropropulsion Subsystems
- Attitude Determination and Control Subsystem
- CubeSat Flight Experience and Lessons Learned
- CubeSat Networks and Constellations
- Telecommunications, Ground Stations and Ground Station Networks
- Orbital Dynamics (e.g. de-orbiting and debris mitigation)
- Launchers and Deployers for CubeSats
- Future Technologies on CubeSats
- Space Exploration Missions with CubeSat (i.e. beyond Earth orbit)
Renowned speakers from NASA, ESA and NanoRacks LLC will give an account
of their
view of the past and future development of CubeSats.
If you are interested in contributing to this event, please submit your
abstract
before May 31st 2016. Registrations and abstract submission will be
opened from
March 1st 2016. For more information on the venue, registration, deadlines,
abstract guidelines, sponsorship and exhibitors, please visit the symposium
website www.cubesatsymposium.eu

Hi,
This is object 41332, or international # 2016-009A
TLE are on Space-Track.org but currently you have to manual search for it.
Where did you learn of the downlink frequency?
Good luck,
Armando, N8IGJ
