CR123. Almost everything else will freeze. I used a home made pack to
power the TT4/Garmin lvc18 for my flight. Worked around 8 hours. Long
enough to make it to 78k and into the trees. Recovered a week later
when it fell down.

All,
Today, 2016-12-28, BY70-1 was launched at 04:23 UTC from Taiyuan
launch center with a Long March 2D launch vehicle, together with two
GaoJing (SuperView) remote sensing satellites. But unfortunately none
of the satellites entered the planned circular orbit at 520 km altitude.
All four objects from this launch (41907-41910) are in an low elliptical
orbit with a perigee of only around 213 km and an apogee of 524 km.
Therefore these objects will decay and burn up in the atmosphere soon.

Sad BY70-1 didn't reach planned orbit.
Whoever try to receive or operate BY70-1 on its first and last orbits
(if satellite is activated) can try on http://amsat.org.ar/pass.htm
selecting BY701.
There you find operating frequencies, aim position and Dopplers,

I confirmed the signal from BY70-1 with a pass of the elevation angle 5
degrees.
On this pass it was sending a signal every 5 seconds. I received it with
436.200
MHz USB, but it might be FM. The visible circle of the satellite is very
small.
Therefore this satellite will decay and burn up in the atmosphere soon.

Good morning,
I will work the following two passes from the EN84/85 line this afternoon.
AO-7 - 2019 UTC

Look for me around 145.940 MHz on AO-7.

<CABzOSOqVR-_eY+CqwjOST5xQ-yZbHYYkyafy0y6pSVdY4tQGQQ@xxxx.xxxxx.xxx>

The FM transponder was active on BY70-1 for the passes over North
America this morning. K4KDR reported hearing my call on the pass
around 1540 UTC, but I did not hear myself. On the 1709 UTC pass, I
worked AC0RA and heard AA5PK.
The signal is strong, but the uplink seems to require precise Doppler
tuning. I was only able to get in cleanly when tuning for Doppler,
starting at around 145.917 MHz near AOS and tuning up to 145.923 MHz
near LOS. An FM only radio with only 5 kHz steps may not work well for
accessing this transponder.
There was also a clear SDR delay on the downlink signal which makes
things interesting and it seems to require a bit of power to break the
squelch. I was using about 30 watts on this pass.
Equipment used was 2 FT-817s, a High Sierra Microwave preamp, a
Microset VUR-30 amplifier, and an Alaskan Arrow antenna with the top
section removed (8 elements on 70 cm and 3 elements on 2 m)
Unfortunately, the satellite's life is destined to be quite short due
to the incorrect orbital insertion with a very low perigee. The
2016-083A keps from CelesTrak's TLE-NEW.txt file seemed pretty
accurate.
I have posted a recording of the pass. Skip ahead to about 2:35 of
this recording:

Hi everyone,
I have seen some messages about this satellite, but I havent seen mention
of 67Hz subtone.
I had signal at 18:30UTC over russia, as I switch on CTCSS. Unfortunately
none was with me on the pass.
But in case I'm not the only one who miss subtone, now its mentioned.
Audio was good, but has delay like Paul, N8HM mention at hes message.

Hi all,
I just had a nice 60 degree pass over CM98, and using the tracking info
from http://amsat.org.ar/pass.htm# I was able to throw my call sign
through the satellite, but only once. There is about a half-second
delay on the Receive side, but it's not at all a problem.
The success was just a bit after TCA. I did have the 67 hz tone enabled
throughout the pass, manual tuning of Tx and Rx, per the info from the
website (thanks Pedro!). Very clear audio on the downlink, nice and
strong. But I couldn't do it again. Just the one transmit / receive
event. No other traffic heard, though there might have been some weak
stuff earlier in the pass while I was tuning around.
Next pass is very low to the north west, but may give it a try.

The PL tone use was per Jari OH2FQV. Interesting that you heard me more
than once; I only heard my downlink the one time (announced call, and
then grid square after a slight surprise-induced pause).
What are the base (non-doppler adjusted) frequencies?

Ok, found the frequencies: 436.200 up, 145.920 down, per Wakita-san's
website (http://www.ne.jp/asahi/hamradio/je9pel/by70ca45.htm).
Have Gpredict programmed and ready to go. Will try for a
fully-automated pass. Fingers crossed.
