Hi!,
Today Monday at 18:29 UTC I have 0.5 del elevation pass, less than 4
minutes.
I would try some new station, I will receive the SAT over 145.940 if the
high ground noise level let me receive this OM SAT.

Howdy
I made the mistake of upgrading from win 8? to win 10. Sat 32 worked fine fa
week and then crashed. I had to completely reload sat32. After that the
rotor tracking went nuts! I am using a g5500 and a st2 tracker. Sometimes
the rotor goes to park in both AZ and EL another times AZ is EL is ok and AZ
tracks with a 40 degree error! How can I calibrate the g5500/ST2 with win
10? I barley understood how to do it back in XP days.
Thanks

Don't know if anyone posted this already but I inquired on another
reflector of a ham using the 222 version and he tells me the LO is
xtal, so you are looking at a new xtal to shift operating freq upward
from 432 to 435.
Why I like my DEMI L432-28 25w transverter; the A32 PLL synthesizer
has both 404 and 407 MHz programmed in memory requiring only a change
in 5-bit program code (five tabs which are selected for grounding). I
have a mini-toggle switch that simply changes LO for either 432-434
or 435-437; IF 28-30.
PS: I build DEMI kits on contract.

Message-ID: <56B907C7.1060607@xxxxxxx.xxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed
I have been unable to copy any telemetry from AO-85. I read that a
cable from Data2 Port of the IC-9100 to the sound card input on a PC was
all that was needed to copy the data. I have wired a cable from pin 4
9600 bps Data Out of the 9100 to the tip of the sound card input and
from Pin 2 ground of the 9100 to the sleeve of the sound card input. I
have selected the correct sound card from the FOX Telem software and
depress the start button. I have not copied one single packet with this
setup.
Has anyone been successful using a IC-9100 and a sound card to copy the
data? Any ideas what I could try?
Thanks for any help.

The return from the SAT was strong until it was in the 90 deg azimuth, with
0.4deg elevation, because of the polarity change, then I could not copy it.
I could copy N4IQV calling me, but we could not end the QSO.
If some North/Central/South American station can work my grid IM78 in low
elevation passes of AO-07 & FO-29, PSE Let me know for a sked.

An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at Royal Masonic School for Girls, Rickmansworth, UK on 11 Feb.
The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 18:09 UTC. The duration of
the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The contact will be
direct between GB1SS and GB1RMS. The contact should be audible over the UK
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.
The Royal Masonic School for Girls is an independent girl's day and boarding
school in Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire, with an exceptional, unusual and
distinguished history. Founded in 1788 with the purpose of educating the
daughters of Freemasons who were unable to support their families, it is one
of the oldest girls' schools in the country. We attract girls aged 4-18 from
across Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire and North London and boarders from all
over the world. We also have a Pre School for boys and girls aged 2 to 4.
Our ethos is both an inspirational and nurturing and our girls strive to be
the very best they can be, academically, morally and creatively. Our public
examination results are consistently impressive and each year around 90% of
girls leave RMS to take up places at University. Life at RMS is centered on
much more than "just" academic success and the School is well known for its
exceptional pastoral care, and the wealth of extra-curricular opportunities
it off
ers - including Astronomy as we are one of very few schools in the UK to
have our own planetarium and observatory!

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,
David - AA4KN
