The following satellites have been added to this week's KEP Distribution
AGGIESAT4 - NORAD ID # 41313
KWANGMYONGSONG4 - NORAD ID # 41332
Per AMSAT-BB the North Korean KWANGMYONGSONG4, NORAD ID # 41332, (also known
as DPRK
Brilliant Star) has achieved a stable orbit, but has so far remained silent.
We will continue to include the TLEs for this satellite for the time being.
See
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-northkorea-satellite-orbit-idUSKCN0VI1XN
for more info.
Per AMSAT-BB the launch of ChubuSat-2 and ChubuSat-3 is postponed due to
weather issues.
No new launch date has been set.

Excellent approach. If it is transmitting I could see it being detected
just this way. Including what you called 'peer review'... Essentially
finding a signal with a Doppler profile that cannot be attributed.
Do you have more plans to monitor passes? Can you monitor on 26mhz? On
previous launches they mentioned that freq as well.

Hi Robb. Yes, I'll continue to monitor - don't have another good pass
until tomorrow night and I'll take that opportunity to watch the 26 MHz
area.
Since my initial (false alarm) post, I had one other pass where nothing was
seen around 465 MHz. So, thanks very much for your frequency
recommendation!

Hi,
I got a photo of the KMS-4 sat and started wondering about the possible
frequencies based on what could be antenna. I think this photo might shed
some light on it. I don't want to say what I think they were thinking.
Other than they could have been HAMS!
Here is the sat:

Here is the nacelle in which it fit.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Byq2L9ccyLZeZ2pQX1ZtcjlSTk0
There are some other gizmos on the sat. What do you guys think is going on
here with the visible components and the other sat features?
FYI, I know this is somewhat off topic. But as a HAM and space lover, I
don't know what better group to take a look at these things.
Thanks,

Message-ID: <D211E813-8F3A-443A-8128-8EE4537D7AFD@xxxxxx.xxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
I am adding the ISS APRS space communications to the Pine Mountain
Observatory STEM workshop this summer.
Using the Kenwood TM-D710G with a PC I can show that the packet sent to the
ISS was digipeated through the ISS.
I would like not having to use a PC with the radio.
Therefore, not using a PC is there a TM-D710G setting that will show that
the beacon was successfully digipeated through the ISS?
QST February 2016 review of the Yaesu on page 52
? Whenever my FTM-100DR transmitted a beacon and detected that it had been
relayed by a digipeater, I hear a series of three descending tones."
Has anyone used the Yaesu FTM-100DR APRS with the ISS and confirmed that it
will tell you that the ISS digipeated the packet?
http://aprs.fi <http://aprs.fi/> and http://ariss.net <http://ariss.net/>
work fine if another station receives the packet and forwards it to the APRS
Internet System.
This depends upon another station which fine for a back up verification.

Use the D710G to send APRS beacons. The radio will display MY PACKET when
it hears the digipeated packet and you can verify it is from ISS by pressing
the LIST button and looking for RS0ISS.

Thanks to everyone who called in to work K8YSE portable
at the Orlando Hamcation. We had a great time working
everyone on SO-50 and FO-29. The crowds were big and the
weather outside was sunny and warm
Although there was a lot of interest in seeing
our station, 9 year old Hope, KM4IPF operating
W1AW/4 on SO-50 definitely stole the show.
Before the pass I watched her pull the compass out
of a bag and tell her father where to point the antenna
at AOS and where it would finish up at LOS. She used
two HT's for the operation. Dad held the antenna for
her as she made contact after contact. She had a crowd
around her and we had the IC910 set up about 40' away
and our crowd was listening to her on our setup. Steve,
N9IP, was the antenna man at our station. Near the end of
the pass I called her on the 910H and got a confirmation
from W1AW/4! We had a signal path hundreds of miles long
but were only 40' apart!
Rick WA4NVM provided a recording of the pass and it is up
on my website: http://www.papays.com/sat/general.html
Frank K9CIS also sent in some recordings of our
FO-29 passes which I'll put on the website later.
Anyone needing confirmation of a Hamcation contact with
K8YSE on LOTW, just send me the qso details
and I'll upload it. I can also do a qsl card on
request.
There is nothing like a good demo to generate interest
in satellites. Just set up a station and the crows
starts gathering. Thanks to everyone who helped
with the effort.
73,
John K8YSE
