So mark that as my first successful reception of QB50p1. Now that I finally
know that I'm doing everything else right, this weekend I'll load the laptop

Thanks to everyone on this list for helping me straighten it out. VY 73.

Message-ID: <571E98BD.4070409@xxxxx.xxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed
I am seeking some assistance in getting the LVB box to work with the Nova
Software. I have upgraded my equipment with a new computer W7 still using
NOVA
tracking software. My old system P4 with WXP and the par port AEA ST-1 worked
fine for many years.
So I have the LVB calibrated just fine. Whatever I move the rotor to, the
display
on the LVB shows the same. The software almaost works with the LVB but is off
sometimes by maybe 15 degrees on AZ only. Elev seems to be OK. It also
changes
depending on the sat or the direction the ants are pointing.
Another odd part is that the NOVA shows the correct readings, but the small
rotor
screen is off.
I am wondering if it is the selection of rotor interface in the setup. I
find the
only one to work is the Easy Comm, but I kinda thought that maybe the Yaesu
GS-232
was the one to use......
If anyone has any ideas maybe email me direct.

Hello Ken, all,
Yes, I received AAUSAT-4 around 0545 UTC, orbit number 5 on 437.425
MHz +- 10 kHz Doppler shift (not decoded for the moment), strong signal.
There was a CW signal at a moment but as I was in NBFM mode and the time
needed to switch to CW or SSB the signal was gone, I just see it on the
spectrogram.
On the next pass, orbit number 6 around 0720 UTC no CW was heard here,
only short digital transmissions.
Unfortunately, absolutly no signal received from the E-st@xxxx bird
(437.485 MHz)... and I did not try OUFTI-1 as I was busy on 70 cm band.

Hello Jean,
Thanks for the information - I did not get an opportunity to listen on the
earlier pass for either of the satellites.
However I have just monitored on a good high pass between 0933 - 0937
hrs GMT.
I heard data bursts from AAUSAT -2 and they were very strong even with my
simple "ELK" antenna and tracking set up.
I was trying to also monitor _e-st@xxxx (mailto:e-st@xxxx but did not
hear anything either. May have missed of course with having to change back
and
forward to AAUSAT- 2.
Also monitoring OUFTI-1 but again nothing heard but I cannot be sure, I was
expecting the beacon to be on
145.980 Mhz.
Hoping that the delays with the launch have not caused any problems for the
teams.
Trust all goes well and good luck with the decoding.
Regards
Ken

Our experience with IR cameras brought me to this discovery:
I needed to see through a wall to see the studs in a 100 year old plaster
and lath wall. It was easy.
Just put a radiant space heater on the other side to heat the wall. Then
after an hour or so, use an IR camera to view the wall. You can see the
studs and anything else that is inconsistent inside the wall.
Then I happened to glance with the IR camera at the wall where I had the
1500 W electric heater plugged in, and I could CLEARLY see the wiring in
3D. By moving the camera around I could see the hot wire in 3D and not
only see where it was, but how deep or, along which wall in the pocket it
was located.
I then went on an exploration mission in my basement to see hotspots in my
entire electrical system. It was an amazing color display liken to XMAS.
Then I noticed a large, unusually bright spot from the basement looking up
at the kitchen floor. I was concerned, since it should have been a part of
open floor and there should not be any heat source there unless it was an
electrical problem beneath the floor. I ran upstairs only to find a cat,
sleeping on a thick rug, on a ceramic tile, on a ?? underlayment, on top of
an OAK floor, on top of ?? tongue and groove subfloor.
That?s seeing a cat through 3? of solid wood, ceramic and a rug. Just
laying there burning up cat food.
I think these cameras are under $500 and even have APPS on cell phones that
can do it?
You wont be able to see though metal, but through anything else, maybe so.
In fact, to perfectly mark the hazy images where I wanted to drill the hole
to the stud, I used a small 1? square of aluminum foil. It has low
emissivity and always appears DARK against anything else that is warm
behind it. But also, notice that the aluminum foil is not only low-E, but
it is also IR REFLECTIVE. So it can look very hot (98.6F) if you happen to
be standing where the aluminum can reflect your body heat.

Rented a FLir T420 a few months back to do a DIY energy audit.
Horrified. Why produce it and then waste it? (air
conditioning=$$$$$$$$$$$)
Before and after pics. WOW!
Better to rent a real tool than buy a toy. The T420 is a 30k device.
I'll tell you the pool pump story one of these days.

According to reports out of Europe, the transponder on XW-2B is on.
I'll be on the 2230Z pass over eastern North America looking for QSOs.
XW-2B's uplink passband is 435.090 MHz - 435.110 MHz and the downlink
passband is 145.750 MHz - 145.730 MHz.
A linear transponder frequency chart is available on AMSAT's website
at http://www.amsat.org/?page_id=5033
