All,
Rainbow Middle School was successful. Three schools were present for a
total of approximately 000 students involved. There were three TV stations
in attendance as well as two newspapers. The station operator was a student
so a total of 19 students were directly involved with all questions
answered. The control operator asked an additional question for a total of
19
questions,
A very successful contact indeed.

Good observations, John.
It's a tricky satellite at times, but still fun to play around with.
It's certainly a shame that it'll have such a short lifetime due to the
partial launch failure.
I have also sent an email requesting it's addition to LoTW.
Just a general FYI about new satellites and LoTW: The name of the satellite
is not able to be changed once it is added to the TQSL configuration file.
After a satellite is made available to the amateur community, I have advised
the ARRL to hold off on adding satellites to the configuration file until an
OSCAR number is issued or we are certain that no OSCAR number will be
requested and/or granted. I did ask about BY70-1 with no response, so I
consider that such a request is unlikely at this point.

Hi all-
I have received a request to talk to the LOTW folks about adding BY70-1 from
several satellite users, including N8HM and K8YSE. I have forwarded those
requests to the IT staff at ARRL, and made them aware that QSOs were already
being made and the shelf life of BY70-1 is not long.?Sean Kutzko Amateur

Hi,
I was listening last night in the pass over NA and Caribbean (I'm in
FL11/Cuba) and get a great signal of the packet downlink on the repeater
output in 70cm but no audio...
I tried to get into the sat repeater with no joy, is the repeater turned
on full time or it has a schedule or other trick beside the PL tone?
Gear here:
* 70cm: 1 turn QFHA + LNA + 10m AH LDF4 +Vcc Tap for LNA with HPF +
RTL-SDR (CAT controlled via GQRX in linux)
* 2m: 1 turn QFHA or J-pole + 20m AH LDF4 + Alinco DR-130 (5W) / Baofeng
(2.5 Khz step 5W)
Note: with this setup I'm able to work SO-50 successfully (QSO with
HP2BWY) just minutes before this pass of BY70-1, so the hardware is
working great.

Hi Pavel,
Same results here on BY70-1, both last night and first pass this morning.
I had some issues with element sets a few days ago, but now am OK, just no
satellite transponder.
I'll keep listening...

Subject: [amsat-bb] BY70-1 last night pass NA/Caribbean.
Hi,
I was listening last night in the pass over NA and Caribbean (I'm in
FL11/Cuba) and get a great signal of the packet downlink on the repeater
output in 70cm but no audio...
I tried to get into the sat repeater with no joy, is the repeater turned on
full time or it has a schedule or other trick beside the PL tone?
Gear here:
* 70cm: 1 turn QFHA + LNA + 10m AH LDF4 +Vcc Tap for LNA with HPF + RTL-SDR
(CAT controlled via GQRX in linux)
* 2m: 1 turn QFHA or J-pole + 20m AH LDF4 + Alinco DR-130 (5W) / Baofeng
(2.5 Khz step 5W)
Note: with this setup I'm able to work SO-50 successfully (QSO with
HP2BWY) just minutes before this pass of BY70-1, so the hardware is working
great.

For the following BY-70-1 pass (per Orbitron and Celestrack data
acquired just before the pass):
Location : Boone,NC (81.7083? W, 36.2292? N)
Time zone : UTC
Search period : 2017-01-05 16:18:00 - 7 days
2017-01-12 16:18:00
Conditions : Maximum sun elevation = None
Minimum sat elevation = 0 deg
Illumination NOT required

2017-01-05 16:29:09 BY70-1 7.2 0.0 ? 2569 163.2 29.4
2017-01-05 16:34:52 BY70-1 284.4 59.1 ? 565 164.7 29.7
2017-01-05 16:40:40 BY70-1 200.8 0.0 ? 2602 166.2 30.0
Using an Alinco DJ-X11T receiver in SDR mode and a handheld Arrow
antenna, Doppler-shifted data transmissions were noted at the following
UTC times in the waterfall centered on 436.2 MHz:
16:34:10
16:34:40
16:35:10
16:35:40
16:36:10
Transmissions were approximately 1 second in duration and 10 kHz in
bandwidth. I assume these transmissions are the 9600bps BPSK (haven't
tried to decode). I saw no evidence of voice or other activity during
the pass.

So, it's on beacon/telemetry mode only...
Thanks for your comments Andy.
