Good evening,
On the 0250Z pass of AO-73, I was delighted to hear and work Paulo, PV8DX,
very soon after AOS. While I have worked Paulo many times (five other times
in just the past week), this was my first intercontinental QSO on AO-73 and
my first intercontinental QSO on any satellite other than AO-7 and FO-29
with their higher orbits. My elevation was between 2 and 3 degrees during
the QSO. AO-73 is in a slightly elliptical orbit of 682 km x 595 km, but it
was at it's perigee of 595 km during this QSO. The distance between Paulo
and I is 4,337 km, 899 km short of the theoretical maximum of 5,236 km at
perigee.
I have posted audio and a graphic from SatPC32 showing the satellite's
footprint at the time of the QSO on YouTube: http://youtu.be/HLzMV7MGz0U
Although I rushed the QSO as I did not know how much longer Paulo would be
in the footprint, he was heard for another 30 seconds or so.
Equipment used was my normal satellite station: two Yaesu FT-817s, a High
Sierra Microwave LNAA146FIL preamp, and an Arrow II 146/437-10BP handheld
yagi. I was operating off my apartment balcony with a very good view of the
southern horizon in southwest Washington, DC.
73,
Paul, N8HM

Tried listening to the satellite during 08:35 UTC pass over India on 20th
nothing heard on 437.025 and 145.800 (Possible relay from ISS) . Has anyone
heard this satellite which was hand launched from the ISS.

Nothing heard here on any of the passes.
Planet Labs CubeSats should be deploying from ISS over the next few days
there are also some CubeSats with amateur radio payloads on the ISS. They
may be deployed after.

Did see in their ground station specification the ability to remotely
deploy the antenna. The satellite array at the national club is probably
better than whatever they've got (long KLM's).
I'd be getting the biggest amp I could and squirting as much RF as possible
it's way.
Will listen as it goes by this morning.

I have listened several passes hoped to receive some signals from Chasqui-1
Cubesat.
Also here nothing heard on my RTL-SDR usb receiver, ssb electronics preamp
and a M2 436CP30 cross yagi.
No reports seen from the team.

Would someone please suggest an inexpensive broadband receiver for the
weather SATS?
We are gearing up for the new school year in Chesapeake, VA.

Thanks Mike, Cor and Trevor for sharing your observations . I will try to
monitor during the next pass also.Noticed that the satellite is already
listed under the cube sat category in celestrack.

Rich,
The cheapest way to do it is a USB RTL-SDR dongle ($10-$20). You might need
the AMSAT broadband preamp ($50) depending on the antennas you plan to use.
I wouldn't recommend this in a high RF environment, though.
The FUNcube Dongle would be easier to setup, is less likely to need the
preamp, and has more filtering than the RTL-SDR. It does cost $215, but
pair that with the crossed dipole antenna from AMSAT-UK ($63) (
http://shop.amsat.org.uk/shop/article_50/FUNcube-Telemetry-Receive-Antenna-Sys
tem.html?shop_param=cid%3D4%26aid%3D50%26)
and you have an excellent system to receive WX satellites as well as the
FUNcube-1 and FUNcube-2 telemetry.
73,
Paul, N8HM
