Hi Greg,

Have a look at HORYU-4 down-link on 437.375 and 2400.300

Can you share some info on the 2.4 ghz dish?

Hello

I just joined the forum, so thought I?d post a brief intro.

I?ve recently purchased an Elk Log Periodic with hopes of getting onto the
FM birds with an HT, and perhaps later on having a crack at the linear
transponders using CW, which is my great love.

My next step is to acquire one of the inexpensive Chinese handsets, and from
the research I?ve carried out, I?m gradually leaning towards the Wouxun
models. I?m also totally blind, which will introduce some interesting
challenges I?m sure!

I do actually have some previous satellite exposure, working UO-14 in 2000
using the satellite gateway of a Toronto repeater system during my month?s
stay there. Unfortunately I was side-tracked  in 2001, when IRLP really took
off.

Employment-wise I work for a non-profit organisation, producing audits on
Accessible Web Design with assistive technology.

Take care, and in spite of the majority of members ostensibly being in North
America, perhaps we will hook up on one of the more favourable passes.

Hi Greg.

The biggest signal you will find is just outside the satellite band.

The ISS transmits its HAM VIDEO signal on 2395 MHz

You should see a significant increase in signal level even if you cant
decode the image (or more likely, the blank transmission)

Thanks

David  G0MRF



Hi,

Since the weather has been uncooperative for outdoor activities, I just
finished a home brew project making a 2.4 ghz dish.

My question:  Are there any current active sats with a beacon in the 2.4 ghz
amateur range?

Thanks
Greg

Never tried SSTV before, managed to capture a picture from the 20:40 ISS

was on this morning over Japan.

Hi!

My AOS on that pass was around 2211 UTC. I barely heard the end of
one picture before a break. I copied one picture perfectly,
starting at 2215 UTC. It was a 21-degree pass, and the picture I
copied was around the middle of the pass. I tweeted the picture
already, and will upload it to the ARISS SSTV picture archive
shortly. I just got home a little bit ago, my first chance to take my
recording from that pass and feed it into RX-SSTV on my tablet.

I have been working an earlier shift at my office this week, which
worked out perfectly for the afternoon ISS passes. I might try to catch
one evening pass before going to bed tonight, but the 1100 UTC alarm is
still hard to accept. Only two more days of that... :-)

73!
