The FUNcube team and AMSAT-UK have indicated they wish to apply for an
OSCAR number for the satellite when they receive operational control.
Since it's impossible for the ARRL to change the satellite
abbreviation once entered in the LoTW system, I have already asked the
ARRL to NOT add the satellite to LoTW yet, pending the assignment of
an OSCAR number.

I just setup MacDoppler last night and got it to do basically what I
wanted but I can't figure out if it's possible to simulate past/future
passes beyond the 6 hour +/- changes you can make with the slider. I
can get beyond that limit if I change the system date/time but I'd
prefer not to have to do that to get what I want.
I did see you can get predictions for anytime but what I'm interested
in is not just that, but watching the map from the past passes.
Is there a way to do that?

After extensive research and experimentation, I was able to reliably handle
past pass prediction using Orbitron.
predict on the command line also works, but Orbitron is more flexible for
day-to-day use with past passes.
Orbitron is Windows-only, FYI.

Yeah, I normally use Orbitron and it does this easily, but I'm
travelling and all I have is a MacBook Pro. I guess I will virtualize
windows so I can use Orbitron easily in the future.

It would be lovely to learn how to make MacDoppler do the same thing!
I am sure that *enough* research would result in the same for GPredict.
I was satisfied with Orbitron, so I left it at that. If it's enough for
Captain Yuri...

GPredict does future passes quite well.
If you go to the lower right box and click on the "down arrow" just to
the left of the satellite name, it has an option to show future passes.

Hi
Not sure how the SGP4 algorithms will cope with old prediction if it is
before the TLE reference date.

They would be incorrect, of course.
I should elaborate -- I definitely used contemporaneous TLEs from the time
period I needed.
Thanks for bringing that up!

Bob,
That is pretty much the same here. I found it at +15,540 Hz higher on
the up link and just have to "TAP" the "+ / - " keys occasionally during
the pass. I get the strongest signals using RHCP on the up link and
LHCP on the down.
The workaround for the 12 satellite limit on SatPC32 is to create a
separate group for FM satellites. I have STANDARD and FM groups.

Paul and I hooked up on FUNcube-2/UKube-1 during the 17:15 UTC pass. That
was my first contact on this bird.
Unlike AO-73, I found the transponder uplink to be stable during the pass,
changing only a few hundred hertz beyond Doppler corrections, so I was able
to use full UL/DL Doppler correction, always hearing my downlink. In the
case of my IC-9100, I found the uplink to be 14.3 KHz higher than specified.
My UL corrected Doppler.sqf file for SatPC32 contains the following entries
for CW, Voice, and Telemetry:
UKUBE-1,145940,435084.6,CW,CW,REV,0,0,CW
UKUBE-1,145940,435084.3,USB,LSB,REV,0,0,Voice U/V
UKUBE-1,145915,,USB,,,,TLM

I am also using old keps from spacetrack.

Just picked up? a Icom IC910H. I have worked my way thru the setup and have?
a few questions for someone with this rig!
Also have? a nice FT847 with accessories that I will list this coming
week.It works fine. used it on FO 29 mostly.
