Hi Steve,
Spot on. Is is indeed a set of timers running off the eclipse
detection, and this will indeed make the on time drift.
We have not decided yet how to handle the drift, and we are still
characterizing the behavior of the transponder and its effect on the
power budget.
We are looking for longer term trends, as the utilization of the
transponder varies quite a lot in the short term. If we are power
positive enough, we may for instance lengthen the activation period.
But we also need to still do things like getting housekeeping and
whole orbit data down, and detumble the satellite periodically.
We will see how this develops over time!

Dani, you are right.
What you are seeing is the combination of the attack and decay time of
the AGC with a strong signal.
You can see the AGC bringing the noise back up as soon as the carrier is gone.
The transponder is fast-attack and slow decay on the AGC.
Since the downlink passband is a bit stronger as compared to
FUNcube-1, you can now more clearly see the passband.

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.
****************************************************************************

Both Chinese satellites were turned on this morning at 1509 UTC over the
west coast. passes. KO6TZ in DM13 was worked by myself.. The frequencies in
SATPC32 Doppler.sqf file were right on... XW2D seemed a bit weaker than XW2B
but both satellites were perfectly workable at my max elevation of only 7
degrees. I don't know if they will be left on or if they will be turned off

I also received my CY9C QSL in the mail. Alan is correct, LOTW is great but
there is nothing like an actual card in your hands. It is beautiful. On a
side note, a ham friend and I talk about what our wives will do with our ham

to be thrown out in the trash will be our QSL card collection!

Hi all,
Sorry for the bit off-topic email but the company I work for is looking for
an EMP (Electro Magnetic Pulse) testing facility to test our protective
relays. I know some of you are concerned about that so I am reaching out to
see if you can pass along contact information to me as to who can do this

Thanks for the help.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Hi All.
Hope those of you back from cruising across the Gulf of Mexico had a good
time.
Over the past few days I've been trying to determine the transponder
frequencies for EO-79 as there are some
differences between published sources and those appearing on the BB
>From AMSAT-UK and AMSAT-NA
Uplink:
435.047-435.077 MHz LSB
Downlink:
145.935-145.965 MHz USB
However, from observations, there seems to be no downlink below 145.946.
By taking readings at TCA on low elevation passes, which for me is about 20
minutes into the 25 minute schedule.
The transponder appears as follows:
Downlink.
Lower limit is quite well defined at 145.946.
Upper limit roles off slowly above 970. But 145.971 seems a reasonable
limit. Very strong signals are visible to 973 but are heavily attenuated.
Uplink
Upper limit (for 145.946) = 435.0723
Lower limit (for 145.971) = 435.0473
This suggests the transponder has a nominal bandwidth of 25kHz.
My best guess at a translation frequency is 581.0183MHz
If anyone with some fancy computer control would care to refine these a bit
further....I'm sure we would all be grateful.
Many thanks to Ken GW1FKY for providing 'known' signals in the transponder.
and Juan LU2DPW for observations from Argentina (when the satellite is much
colder)

I heard the beacon here in DO33 during its last pass.
I acquired the signal at 0140 UTC and followed it for about 3 minutes.
I heard most of the characters, though the signal faded in and out,
partly because I was manually tuning my FT-817. It wasn't as strong
as I thought it would be, though there was some background noise and a
bit of local QRM which sometimes obscured it.

Hi Alan!
My CY9C card was in the mailbox today. Very nice! It shows I made a
70cm SSB QSO with them, but didn't mention anything about a satellite
QSO or the satellite I worked them on (AO-7). Not a big deal, since
I already received an LOTW QSL from them - complete with the
satellite related stuff, along with their DXCC entity and grid.
