Hi Folks,
Just to say that I have just switched AO-73/FUNcube-1 to manual mode, so
the transponder will be on full time. Its early this weekend, so those
attending the AMSAT-NA Symposium can make use of the satellite. Plan is to
switch back to educational mode on Monday 14 Nov during a suitable pass over
Europe.
Have FUN cruising!

Hi Brain,
Well spotted sir!
You are correct - FC1 is having a long weekend so that the many many
operators joining the AMSAT-NA Convention on board Carnival Liberty today
can have some extra FUN!
Indeed please watch out for further announcement later about even more FUN
in space becoming available today.
best 73 from windy Galveston.

? Hi Graham,I noted an unexpected switch into eclipse mode today at about
10:40z in today's second southbound orbit.
As far as I can tell it was not a day to night transition at that time. Or
is FC1 enjoying an even longer weekend from Thursday am?
Cheers,Brian

If you go through port security and are denied boarding with your
radio gear, mention you are with the AMSAT group. I spoke to the
Carnival Liberty Chief Security Officer. There was some confusion but
that has been resolved as of 11:30am.

Ok, Dave,
Changed CAS-2T on http://amsat.org.ar/pass.htm to Object E.
It is more reasonable, as Object-A is now over 900 Km height while
object E is at 525 Km height.
All 2016-66 objects are made available on pass to further check.
Thanks for information !!

Hi,
Using the reference for CAMSAT as suggested by Mike as 2016 -66 E - I
heard the beacon at 1744 hrs GMT on a high pass. - down link frequency
435.712.190 Mhz.
It was very strong - I heard some noises on the transponder downlink but
don't know what it was.

Hi guys,
I listened for CAS-2T on the 17:30 UTC pass over Europe (an overhead pass).
The CW beacon is easy to copy, but it seems that there is much QSB.
Perhaps the satellite is spinning fast.
The FM transponder doesn't work properly. It is weak, and it seems that
it tries to modulate, but it doesn't modulate well and it shuts down,
and continues doing this on and on as long as someone tries to active
it. I would say that it responded to my PTT (using 5W to 3el) well, but
I can't be sure, as there were a handful other stations trying.
Finally, the statement that CAS-2T will not be separated from the final
stage rocket and will re-enter in 10 to 30 days doesn't make any sense
at all. First, in the image of CAS-2T shown on AMSAT-UK, it just looks
like a regular cubesat, so no way that antennas and solar panels would
work fine without separation from the rocket.
Second, the TLEs for this launch are already in Celestrak and
Space-Track. There are 6 objects tracked (A through F). Mike DK3WN says
that object E is a good match for the Doppler profile of CAS-2T CW
beacon. My observations on the 17:30 pass agree with him. Objects A
through D are on 512km x 492km orbits. Objects E and F are on 1030km x
504km orbits. There is no way that any of these objects (especially E
and F) will decay in less than a month.
For comparison, according to Space-Track, NORAD ID 41559, which is a
CZ-4B rocket body that was launched 30th May, sending its payload into a
500km circular orbit, and is currently on a 360km x 240km orbit, will
decay around 15th December. This is 6 months to decay for the rocket
body of a similar launch.
Hopefully Alan BA1DU will be able to give us more accurate information
about this launch.
73,
Dani EA4GPZ.
