Hi all,
I've been using SatPC32 with my Icom IC-9100 for several years, I have
always been using it with cross-band birds like AO-73, FO-29, etc. For
these satellites the Main is set to one band and the Sub to another.
I have the Doppler.sqf file set correctly for the 145.825 Packet Robot, and
I can see the SatPC32 display show me both the uplink and downlink
frequency with logical doppler corrections. However, If the radio is in
Satellite mode, it insists on transmitting on 70cm, or if I take it out of
satellite mode, only the downlink frequency is actually corrected (it will
transmit on the downlink frequency as well).
Does anyone have any experience using SatPC32 with a Icom radio on the ISS
Packet Robot?

Bob,
Use SatPCISS because it puts the radio in same band split mode.

John, etal:
Hope someone tests this and gives a report. Cost is quite reasonable
for this kind of power at 5-GHz. Note that the DEMI 5670-144
transverter output is +16 dBm (200mw) so one could obtain 2w with
drive from one. ERA-5 was common mmic used for this level. Getting
600mw is a bit harder.
Most of these run class-A so do dissipate a lot of heat; most of the
power becomes heat and not RF. 10-dB RF gain is respectable at microwave.
Comment on az-el suitable for 1m dishes at 5 and 10-GHz. The Yaesu
satellite rotators do not resolve pointing angle less than 7-1/2
degree so probably not adequate. There are some inexpensive
telescope drives that might work at reasonable prices.

Looking forward to testing mine too. I found another web site that claims
that 600mW of input drive would give nearly 5W of output.

He has a few pictures showing him taking power measurements himself, making
this a bit more believable. Would have to watch the heat dissipation
closely, since they quote 20 watts of supply power (so 15 or more watts of
heat).

On a related note, what is the status of UKube-1 as far as the
transponder goes? I am regularly switching back and forth to send
telemetry on both birds using the Dashboard (even though it's not really
optimized for Ukube-1) and hope that one day I can eventually make a
contact or two through it.

Hi Jeff,
Firstly, many thanks for forwarding the telemetry from both FUNcube-1 and
FUNcube-2!
Sadly it is not possible at the moment to directly answer your question
about possible transponder operations on FUNcube-2 but we hope that it will
be possible in the fairly near future. In the meantime, the FC2 transmitter
is currently continuously downlinking valid real time telemetry. This
provides a good overview of the on board systems and thanks, to the many
stations regularly listening (using the normal Dashboard), this data is
available on the FUNcube Data Warehouse.
Of course we can be looking forward to the launch of the 1U CubeSat -
Nayif-1 around the middle of the year. This will also carry a FUNcube
transponder and is presently being prepared for insertion into its QuadPack
deployer. This operation will take place within the next few days and is in
preparation for launch in mid summer on the same launcher as Fox1-C and
Fox1-D.

Great, looking forward to it.
Gee, with all these new birds going up, perhaps constant coverage is no
longer a far-off dream.... :D

Hello all,
Has anyone considered this? It is a bit more expensive, but it
looks like it will deliver 4W (36dBm) with 100mW (20dBm) input.

Zoning, perhaps, but I doubt there'd be any neighbors close enough to
complain. And if they did, just aim the antenna in their general
direction... :)
I'd make a great retirement project, only I'm not ready to retire, and
it's on the wrong coast.

Message-ID: <6114B95C5B774F99A216CD020DB8D792@xxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at Valahia University of Targoviste, Targoviste, Romania on 12
Apr. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 13:48 UTC. The
duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The
contact will be direct between OR4ISS and YO9INI. The contact should be
audible over Romania 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 University Valahia of Targoviste (UVT) and its partners are organizing
the first Romanian ARISS contact in this historic capital of Wallachia,
where ruled Vlad the Impaler, also known as Vlad Dracula. The Faculty of
Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Information Technology started its
activity in 1995 and it is known for electronics, telecommunications,
automation, computer science, electrical engineering and power energy,
providing eleven bachelor's, master's and doctoral programs for over 780
students. It has a chapter for IEEE Broadcast Technology Society (Romanian
section). We are proud of our students' involvement in several international
challenges, conferences and various research events. For the ARISS contact
UVT trained 20 pupils aged 12 to 18 who were recruited from different high
schools in the county. Their training was offered through the European Space
Education and Resource Office ESERO-Romania, which is a collaboration
between ESA and national partner
s (ROSA). The ARISS event was also supported by several companies and
associations, namely Vodafone Romania and Start-Tech Association.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. What are the qualities that define an astronaut?
2. What is the worst and the best part of your job?
3. Have you ever felt the impact of space debris hitting the ISS?
4. What was the most difficult test that you took during your astronaut
training?
5. What is an everyday thing which is extremely difficult on ISS?
6. What is the most beautiful thing that you can see from space?
7. Have you ever observed solar radiation affecting ISS radio comm?
8. Is radio comm a passion or a job obligation?
9. What is the most interesting discovery made on ISS using plasma?
10. What's the biggest difference between expectation and reality when living
in space?
11. Has food the same taste in space?
12. What is the first thing you will be doing when you come back to Earth?
13. What is your most challenging task on the ISS?
14. How did your know you had a passion for exploration?
15. Do you think spaceflight will be accessible for the masses in the
future?
16. Given the chance, would you live exclusively on Earth, or on the ISS?
17. Has space travel changed your life?
18. Is it true that after coming back you shouldn't expose yourself to
sunlight?
19. What do you do in your free time?
20. What is the coolest thing that you've done in microgravity?

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,

9:15 to 9:25 am Introduction by Steve Bible, N7HPR, TAPR President
9:25 to 9:35 am "Write for QST/QEX" by Kai Siwiak KE4PT, QEX Editor
9:35 to 10:00 am "SatNOGS - A network of open source satellite ground
stations". by Corey Shields KB9JHU
Abstract: Cubesat operators tend to have few ground stations of their own
and rely on amateur operators to help collect telemetry. With cubesat
deployments on the rise, more and more data is lost as there are not enough
ground stations listening. The SatNOGS Project is a Network of Open Source
Satellite Ground Stations, focusing on Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites. In
this presentation, we introduce SatNOGS as a way to increase the amount of
data collected from these satellites and returned to their operators. Learn
what the SatNOGS project is, how it works, and what we have planned for the
future of amateur radio satellite reception.
10:00 to 10:25 am "HamWAN High Speed IP Radio Network" by Bryan Fields, W9CR
Abstract: Presented will be an amateur radio high-speed IP backbone concept
(HamWAN) with an emphases on building regional highly available networks.
Utilizing the same techniques which enable the Internet, Amateur Radio
networks may be built connecting projects to the Internet or other sites.
Included will be an update on the regional HamWAN network deployments.
10:25 to 10:50 am "SDR Disrupt" by Chris Testa, KD2BMH
Abstract: Tools and techniques for software defined radio continue to evolve
at a rapid pace, and we'll go over the landscape and advancements in SDR
technologies this past year. Numerous technologies are driving the
power-price-performance curve to a new level of efficiency. We'll take a
look at John Stephensen, KD6OZH's mesh project (part of TAPR), which helps
pave the way for next-generation wireless links. Latest developments in
digital voice will also be discussed.
10:50 to 11:15 am "Spectrum Monitoring with Software Defined Radio" by Mike
Ossmann, AD0NR
Abstract: Having developed HackRF One, the world's lowest cost wideband
Software Defined Radio transceiver, the HackRF project continues to produce
open source hardware designs for SDR. Find out about our designs in
development now and our ideas for future boards that will enable the next
generation of SDR enthusiasts.
