Good starting point may be to have a look at the ThumbSat project. When I
can find the time, I plan to build one.

Subject: [amsat-bb] SDR tracking: Suggestions Please
Hello All,
I am now living in an apartment for the next year or so, then moving into a
RV full time on semi-retirement.
I plan to build my downlink out of a RTL-SDR dongle LNA and a couple of
short (2ft long) yagi antennas. ?I would like to also perform automatic
tracking via an Arduino and a couple of Easy driver cards and stepper motors?
So far, so good. ?What I am wondering about is there an integrated software
program that will allow for reception of the downlink signal with doppler
correction, control of the unlink frequency, and position control of the
rotators.
The simple way would be to run separate software for each, but I would like
to be able to do all of this in a single, compact unit.
Right now, I am thinking about Simon's SDR-RADIO V3, but I am having issues
with my dongle staying stable on it for more than 2 seconds.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated?
73,James, AA5AO?

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Yaesu G5600B Az/El rotator combo. NIB, $600
New in unopened box. The G-5600B is a heavy-duty version of the G-5400B.
It has 51 ft-lbs of rotation torque and 289 ft-lbs of braking torque vs. 44
& 145 ft-lbs for the 5400. Elev rotators are the same. I had a 5400 on a
US Towers MA-550MDP rotating tower and it turned a HY gain TH-3 Mk III
tribander on top and a pair of the largest M2 sat antennas (2M22CX & 435 40
CX) on the El rotor at the top of the first section. Worked for years with
no problems at all. I bought the 5600 "just in case" but never needed it.
Price includes shipping anywhere in the lower 48.

I have a existing 50' HF tower with 40m on up.
I am now trying to place a 33' tower for VHF on up. the tower will have a
10' VHF pair of antennas as well as a pair of UHF antennas on it (for
satellite EME and other goofing around)
how close is too close? running the higher quality coax needed will be
harder the farther from the shack I get due to physical building issues.
Also the closer I can have it to another building the more helpful it will
be to my ongoing antenna work. this puts me at a location about 12' from
the existing HF tower.
what are the pro's and cons of locating a 30' VHF with a 10' array on it so
close to the HF antenna array?
where should I locate the tower ideally?
I have a 1/4 acre lot so I dont have unlimited room .. otherwise its a no
brainier...

If It were me, I'd consider what would happen if it fell down in the
worst possible way. I.E. on something expensive.
.25 acre is small. Have .5 and it's not much bigger.
I put up solar and the neighbors were out with pitchforks and torches.

Call for Proposals
Proposal Window September 1 ? November 1, 2016
The Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) Program is
seeking formal and informal education institutions and organizations,
individually or working together, to host an Amateur Radio contact with a crew
member on board the ISS. ARISS anticipates that the contact would be held
between July 1, 2017 and December 31, 2017. Crew scheduling and ISS orbits
will
determine the exact contact dates. To maximize these radio contact
opportunities, ARISS is looking for organizations that will draw large
numbers of
participants and integrate the contact into a well-developed education
plan.
The deadline to submit a proposal is November 1, 2016. Proposal
information and documents can be found at
www.arrl.org/hosting-an-ariss-contact.
****************************************************************************
**
ARISS is always glad to receive listener reports for the above contacts.
ARISS thanks everyone in advance for their assistance. Feel free to send
your reports to aj9n@xxxxx.xxx or aj9n@xxx.xxx.
Listen for the ISS on the downlink of 145.8? MHz.
****************************************************************************

Ken, VE3HLS, showed up on FO-29 this morning on the 1520z pass.
I found him way up the band at 435882. He had a decent signal and
went qrt at 1533z. If you called him on his frequency, he responded.
Ken said that he would stay in EO80 today and tomorrow (Tuesday and
Wednesday). The road to EO90 was washed out due to heavy rain so
no EO90 operation is expected. He said he would concentrate on
FO-29 and SO-50 passes today but it might pay to look on the other
birds just in case.
Good Luck!

To get to EO90 you drive across the top of a hydro dam at Abitibi Canyon,
then it's about 25 km along a dirt road. ?Yesterday, I crossed the dam
unmolested except for plenty of strange looks. ?Cars don't travel here. ?The
road is quite good but very muddy for the first few km.
Last night we had lots of rain and I was stopped at the dam and advised it
would be unwise to go further because a few areas were washed out.
So, I turned around, checked my map and GPS and headed for EO80, about 40 km
away. ?Good move! ?My site in EO80 is a cleared area about 500m around.
?Perfect! ?I handed out EO80 QSOs to 25 lucky contestants.
Wednesday looks like this:1206 ? XW-2C1312 ? AO-851327 ? XW-2A1341 ?
XW-2C1426 ? FO-291609 ? FO-291755 ? FO-29
Busy schedule and the best part is I'll be back at the hotel in time for
Happy Hour out on the Lido Deck.
I was so encouraged by today's success that I'm going to make another
attempt at EO90 on Thursday Morning. ?Schedule as follows:
1157 ? AO-851254 ? XW-2A1338 ? AO-851427 ? XW-2A1515 ? FO-291659 ? FO-29
Then it's off to Cochrane to catch the Polar Bear Express to Moosonee for 4
days in EO91.
NOTE: ?I have never worked an XW-2x satellite before. ?Bear with me!

Cut and paste from one of the articles: "The tournament cubesat itself
consists of two L-shaped pieces that would split apart, and each piece
would head for the moon's atmosphere."
How much atmosphere are they hoping for? I hope they are not planning on
using fins and parachutes for stabilization. I gotta think this is a
media screw-up.

I just prepared and mailed my IARP so I can operate from the ship at
Symposium.
Hey, did you know that you can use the U.S Department of State website
to crop your own photo to use with the application?
https://travel.state.gov/content/passports/en/passports/photos/photos.html
Look on the right side of the page under "Already Have a Photo?"
It lets you pick a photo you have on your PC, and save it back to your
PC. You can then print it to send with the application.
(Of course, you'll have to figure out how to get it 1.5 x 1.5 inches, I
used Word.)

Hello
A while back I had a Linux computer that would listen for the ISS then start
sending beacons
Trying to cut back on wildly transmitting all day and night
Has anyone used the raspberry Pi ?
It lends itself nicely to such a beacon project
Listen then beacon for ten minutes
