Is anyone presently operating satellites remotely? If so what is your setup?
Just curious, we just had a conversation about remote ops on XW-2A.

Hi Dave, I may have missed it on the QRZ page, but what modes on HF/6? Any
digital? JT65 on 6M might be pretty productive
Anyway, Good Luck and safe travels

Subject: [amsat-bb] K6R Coundtdown
9 days from now, Wyatt, AC0RA, and myself will be getting on the boat in
Ventura, CA with our destination set on CM93. We've been training all
summer, finalizing equipment, setting skeds, and generally getting all the
loose ends tied up, and we look to be ready to go.
We have posted our Final pass schedule on the K6R QRZ page at
https://www.qrz.com/lookup/K6R - so feel free to find a pass that is to your
liking. We have tried hard to include everyone in our distance range on at
least 1 or 2 passes. Of course all passes are dependent on weather,
schedule, and other factors - and there's a very good chance we'll show up
on passes that AREN'T on our list as well.. find a window, and see if we're
around.
We're also happy to announce that Jimmy, KK6FAH will be serving as our pilot
relay station for the expedition. He's a fellow AMSAT operator, and has a
QTH right in Ventura, and we should be in local repeater range of each other
while we're on the Island. We have agreed to meet up each evening and report
our logs to him, and he will then pass our report on to the BB. Please do
not email him with questions about busted calls or the like, he's simply
going to be passing on our reports. He's also been awesome in helping us
with some local arrangements, and we appreciate his assistance with this
project greatly.
I'd also like to make a brief request for folks to use some good situational
awareness while we're out there. We know this is a rare grid and there's
tons of interest, but remember that the birds and pass time are a scarce
resource. We're hoping with lots of scheduled passes there should be more
than enough air time to get everyone worked that wants it, but use some
common sense. If you have linear capability, find us on one of those birds,
and leave SO-50 for the FM only operators. If you're on the West coast and
can work us on a higher pass where the east coast doesn't have a footprint,
consider delaying to give them a chance. If you can handle taking a night
off from using SO-50 as your ragchew repeater in the sky, that'd be great
too... and please try to keep the dupes to a minimum - you never know when
someone is just sliding into the footprint and only has 30 seconds to make
that precious QSO. Thanks in advance.
Finally, we're planning to do a very informal round table on 20 meters
Saturday night at 8:00 PDT. Clayton, W5PFG has agreed to find us a frequency
(probably the upper portion of 20m) and send out a tweet on where we will
be. We'd love to have you stop by on HF and chat about Satellite stuff, the
expedition, or "Am I in the log?" that night.
It's expedition go time. Hope to catch everyone from CM93!
73!
Dave, KG5CCI

Since I literally just wrote a blog entry about this yesterday, I'll
shamelessly post the link for review:
http://www.kg5cci.com/2016/09/missing-dx-cause-youre-dx.html
I will emphasize that my setup was built with duct tape and bailing wire..
it is NOT meant to be a permanent configuration, but it is getting the job
done for what I need it for. I also would not have even thought my config
would be possible, if not for the assistance of some seriously pro
operators who gave me tons of tips and encouragement. I will let those ops
speak for themselves if they want to share their config.. but I'm happy to
share mine.

Hello,
Thank you for your wishes.
The FSK downlink contains only the health monitoring data of the satellite
and is used for payload calculations. IPGP university in france requested
us for the payload data for their scientific research thus we are switching
on the telemetry only over India and France.
However the CW beacon will be on through out the orbit and can be received
from anywhere.
Kind regards,
Team Pratham

Good morning,
I have a few reminders regarding upcoming AMSAT events:
1. Ballots for the Board of Directors election are due at the AMSAT-NA
office in one week (September 15, 2016). Please mail your ballots in
today. Ballots that arrive after the close of business on September
15th will not be counted.
2. The 2016 AMSAT-NA Space Symposium and General Meeting will be held
aboard the Carnival Liberty November 10th - November 14th. If you have
not yet booked your cruise and plan on attending, please do so as soon
as possible. See here for further information:
http://www.amsat.org/?page_id=3667
3. If you have already booked your cruise, please remember to register
for the Symposium. You can register via the AMSAT online store here:
http://store.amsat.org/catalog/index.php?cPath=39
4. If you plan to attend the Symposium and wish to bring radios to
operate, please remember that the Carnival Liberty is registered in
Panama. US licensed amateur operators wishing to operate at sea must
obtain an IARP from the ARRL. Details are available at the following
site:
http://www.arrl.org/iarp
Unfortunately, obtaining a license for operation in Mexico or within
Mexican territorial waters is likely not possible at this time.
5. If you wish to contribute a paper to the Symposium Proceedings
and/or present at the Symposium, please email Dan Schultz
(n8fgv@xxxxx.xxxx with a proposed title as soon as possible,
preferably by September 15th. Final papers must be submitted by
October 15th for publication in the printed Proceedings.

Hi,
We noticed that UKube position was not being reported correctly so the data

The Dashboards should have caught up. The display server was unaffected.

Hello radio friends,
At Sunday 11 september 2016 is a balloon fox hunt event.
A weather balloon will be launched with U/V FM transponder, 23cm ATV
transmitter and
beacon (tone) transmitter.
The weather balloon will be launched from the Netherlands, amateur radio
stations in nearby -
countries have to wait a while to hear the signals untill the balloon reach
an higher -
altitude! (the maximal altitude might reach 30km it also did in the past!).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
Balloon transmitters frequency information:
Beacon: 145.450 MHz (100 mW FM/N).
FM crossband voice transponder uplink: 432.550MHz downlink: 145.475MHz (1
Watt FM/N).
ATV video transmitter 1252 MHz (1 Watt FM, camera looking down to earth).
The balloon camera video stream can be world wide seen on the website (see
the urls below).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
Ground control stations:
PI4RCG 7.080 kHz, 3.650 kHz (+/- 10kHz QRM).
PI2NOS 430.125 MHz (+1.6 Shift) ground repeater in the Netherlands (also
audible via echolink).
PI3UTR 145.575 MHz (-0.6 Shift / 77Hz) ground repeater in the
Netherlands (also audible via echolink).

Sorry if this is old.
What are you using to get the two to talk to each other?
I've used vspManager from K5FR without issue to talk to get Sat32PC to talk
to HDSDR which was driving my SDRPlay.
If you aren't getting any COM port errors, that's a good sign. ?You might
try using something like?PuTTY to look at the other end of your virtual
serial port setup to see if SatPC32 is talking through the port. ?When a CAT
session starts, you should see some letters pop up, like "FA;" (for the
selected TS2000 radio).
Maybe your problem is something sill like forgetting to make sure "CAT to
HDSDR" is activated.

I have heard this 4Z5RR call sign on several occasions. Once, he even
repeated my call sign back perfectly.
This station is active when parts of Central America, the Caribbean, and
northernmost South America are in mutual footprint with my QTH in East
Texas.
It doesn't seem like a valid operation but I have no way to verify it.
It would be nice to get a corrected call sign for this station.

When I first "worked" this station, I thought the callsign was 6Y5RR.
As with Clayton, he did repeat my callsign back to me fine, though his
audio was very low.
That callsign doesn't seem to appear in QRZ or anywhere else, so I
contacted the Jamaican Amateur Radio Association who said that 6Y5RR
may be held by ZF1RR (I have confirmed that it definitely was in the
1990s). I sent an email to ZF1RR to inquire, but never received a
reply.
