You can get to know real/live uplink/downlink Dopplers for ISS in UHF
through http://amsat.org.ar/pass.htm either online or offline.
Will also control your rigs xmit/rcv frequencies if using pass.exe with
wispdde.

Back when we were designing the $50sat PocketQube we thought about a robot
of some sort but at the time there were already
too many things we didn't know how to do to add that as well. If there is
ever a "next time" we'll have to consider it.

Kevin,
I worked those RS Robots numerous times back in the day. It was
beyond cool to have a package of electronics flying through Space
engaging in a QSO with me!! One day, I'll go through my boxes
of old QSLs to see if I ever got a card from them. I'm sure I would
have sent for one.
Thanks for the memories!! 73, Bob K8BL

WOW! Being that I started out on a Mode K bird (RS12/13) and operated on it
for like 6-7 years right up until it's demise in 2002 (google RS-12/13 and
you'll likely see my old callsign AC5DK in many of the results), I find the
news about HFsat utterly fantastic! I enjoyed Mode K very much despite
having to operate semi-duplex and deal with terrestrial stations in the
transponder uplink window. The frequencies chosen for HFsat will likely
eliminate a lot of the terrestrial station QRM problem (WE had to be careful
not to QRM THEM), but I may still have to operate semi-duplex with my
current setup. However I am already in the process of putting up a Cobweb
antenna at about 30 feet which will likely be an excellent choice for
working this bird!
I would say that RS-12/13 was sort of like an 'Easysat' of it's day. Because
IF you had an Advanced or Extra license you also likely had an HF station
and could try satellites with little to no investment. (That is, whenever it
was in Mode K, which was the majority of the time.) My first contact over
the bird was using my Heathkit HF rig and a Hustler 4BTV mounted on the back
deck. (Later I got a better antenna and added a 10m preamp.) Just like folks
today with a $50 HT and a homebrew beam, not everybody that tried it stuck
with sats, but at least they had a taste of what it was like and could
appreciate satellites in the overall ham radio hobby. It would be great to
figure out some award or operating activity to encourage use of the
satellite once it is launched and operating. (being positive in my outlook
there) =^) It was the pursuit of the CQ 50th Anniversary Award and the
category of 'make a satellite contact' that got me to try satellites and
develop a love affair wit
h this fascinating mode of operation.
And just to reminisce... RS-12/13 used to have a Robot that you could talk
to. If you got in just the right spot in the middle of the uplink window and
called the bird on CW, it would answer you on one of the two beacon
frequencies and give you a unique QSO number. It was not the easiest thing
to do, especially semi-duplex, but I did manage to literally 'work the bird'
about 4 months before it went 'end of mission'. Supposedly you could get a
QSL card for such a QSO, but it was the infamous 'Box 88 Moscow' which many
older ops will recognize. (I think Jerry K5OE is the only one I know to get
such a QSL card and I believe it involved hand delivery.) =^D I even
received a number of QSL requests by mail for Robot QSOs as some hams
thought I was the manager since I ran a website devoted to operating the
bird. But alas, I was forced to return them all marked 'Not the QSL
manager'. =^(
Anyway, good luck to Bob & crew and know that at least someone is looking
forward to the fruit of your efforts with great anticipation! And to all the
ops that have never experienced Mode K operation, especially 'Over The
Horizon' technique, I'd have to say, you are in for a real treat! Using that
method (taking advantage of HF propagation to work stations outside of the
footprint) one avid US DXer set up skeds with a number of DX stations and
managed to work 100 DXCC entities JUST on RS-12/13... got your attention
now?! X^D

Jay,
You did a great job operating. I had the honor of listening to many of your
low elevations QSOs with Europe and Brazil on FO-29, and hearing and working
you on AO-7 Mode U/v was a thrill. For those that don't realize that you
were using a single FT-817 on the transponders, the news that you were
working South America, North America, and a good part of Europe half-duplex
with 5 watts may be a substantial surprise.
The fact you uploaded to LOTW almost instantly was just icing on the cake.
Great work, and I look forward to hearing you from your next destination.
Hope to see you soon, maybe at Ocala or Tampa hamfests in December?
73, Drew KO4MA

Has anyone received a LoTW confirmation for CY9C?
on Satellite from their 8/2016 DXpedition? ?I see my QSO
in their ClubLog as 2m (it was on AO-7). ?The only info I've
heard was that they were having a N1MM Log issue that didn't
upload Sat QSOs correctly. ?Over 2 months seems like a long
time to fix something like that.
I'm sure it will be resolved eventually, but I'm holding off with
submissions for VUCC and DXCC because of that ONE LoTW
QSL. If I submit now, that QSL will certainly show up soon
afterward and sit there like an orphan for quite a while until I get
others for the next submission. (Murphy's Law!!)

All CY9C satellite QSOs were uploaded to LoTW a few days ago, except for
the last day of passes worked. Those QSOs have been recovered, formatted
for LoTW, and sent to the QSL manager for upload to LoTW.
However, for an unknown reason, some of the QSOs are not matching. I have
not been able to find any discrepancies that would explain that. If your
QSO(s) did not match, please send me a screenshot of the QSO details page
from the LoTW website and I will try to figure it out.

Hi all, in my case, I had qso via FO-29, but qso has logged by CY9C

I am trying to get back into the satellites and have a Kenwood TS-790A
which I am using with SatPC32 Ver12.8c. I am using THIS
<http://www.ebay.com/itm/261186601463>cable for CAT control (after research
it seemed to be one of the best and reliable cables for the purpose).
During the operation of the radio during a pass using AO-85 I have found
that SatPC32 keeps switching the mode from FM to USB. It stopped doing
that when I disconnected the USB to accessory plug but of course it stopped
correcting for doppler as well. When I investigated this I noticed that the
AO-85 line in the DOPPLER.SQF file seemed to be missing a comma, see below:
; For Hints look at the end of this file.
; Do not remove or modify these first
; 3 lines of the file, starting with ';'!
AO-85,145980,435180FM,FM,Nor,0,0,Voice U/V
AO-10,145900.0,435100.0,USB,LSB,REV,0,0
AO-73,145960,435140,USB,LSB,REV,0,0,Voice U/V
AO-73,145935.0,,USB,,,,TLM
........
I corrected that and saved it and restarted the computer and the program.
It continues to do it and I can't figure out why. So, on this radio there
is a "Main" channel which is on 70 cm which I transmit on and there is a
"Sub" channel which is on 2 meters which I receive on. The "Main" channel
tracks the doppler correctly and remains on FM but the "Sub" tracks the
frequency correctly but keeps switching to USB. Does anyone have any
thoughts on how to correct this or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks so much for your time.

I captured this screen shot from FO-20 today at about 1850 UTC over western
US.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-Jez46MB5RaSUxMNmw3dF80bFE/view?usp=sharing
Note the repeating signal every 3 kHz around 4:00 and 7:00 in the waterfall.
I?ve seen this before. Has the same Doppler profile as FO-29. It?s pretty
weak as I don?t hear it on the speakers. Any ideas?

The CY9C satellite log appears to have just been re-uploaded and it
looks like the matching errors have been fixed. Passes from the last
evening have also been added, so all CY9C satellite QSOs should be in
LoTW. If you have a problem, please email me and I will check for any
log errors. Any busted call situations will need to go to the QSL
manager for his call, though.
