Hi Scott,
I use a power-splitter
(http://www.pe0sat.vgnet.nl/antenna/power-splitter/) in reverse.
So two receivers connected to the same antenna via this splitter.
This, as expected will drop down the signal with 3db but leaves the
impedance at 50 ohm.
Make sure you don't, by accident, TX or enable a BIAS-T on such a setup.
I have a complete separate DC supply to the pre-amp.
Antenna -> pre-amp -> coax -> power splitter -> RX1
-> RX2

I've never heard of such a thing - thank you so much for the great info!
Looks like a very worthwhile project.
I also have a separate power feed to the pre-amp, so hopefully I won't have
a BIAS-T accident. I'll certainly keep that in mind, though!

An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at Coll?ge Saint-Guibert, Gembloux, Belgium and Euro Space
Center, Transinne, Belgium on 12 Jan. The event is scheduled to begin at
approximately 13:46 UTC. It is recommended that you start listening
approximately 10 minutes before this time.The duration of the contact is
approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The contact will be a telebridge
between NA1SS and K6DUE. The contact should be audible over the east coast
of the U.S. Interested parties are invited to listen in on the 145.80 MHz
downlink. The contact is expected to be conducted in French/English.
Presentation Saint-Guibert College (Gembloux) Belgium
The Saint-Guibert College was founded by the congregation of the Brethren
of the Chtistian Schools, following the principles of its founder Jean
Baptiste de La Salle.
This pedagogy is centered on the youngsters, adapted to their time and
devoted to their social insertion, with special care for the most needy.
Our College, located at Gembloux in central Belgium, comprises 4 separate
schools and 3100 students:
- The basic school with kindergarten and primary school 2 - 12,
Saint?Guibert square
- The secondary school, general, technical and professional, 12 ? 18,
Orneau square
- The small school at the Station, for Dutch immersion tuition, 2 ? - 12,
and French kindergarten
- The kindergarten at Ernage.
Openness, listening, availability, faith, the place of the pupil are the
values of our pedagogic project, summarized by Albert Jacquard?s saying: ?
I am the relations I weave ?
We want a school that favors:
A. The relation to oneself,
B. The relation to knowledge,
C. The relation to others.
Euro Space Center - Belgium
Opened in June 1991, Euro Space Center is a discovery center specializing
in socio-educational recreation. Our field of specialization is space.
Euro Space Center has become a leader in Belgium for the dissemination of
knowledge about space sciences and technologies.
Euro Space Center is open to the general public all year round and also
welcomes trainees from many different countries. The goal is to spark a
love for the sciences and innovation.
Euro Space Center and its high-tech environment are unique in Europe. They
enable young people and adults to learn about astronomy, robotics, space
engineering and more. Euro Space Center also lets people (re)discover an
exceptional human adventure: mankind?s conquest of space.
Kindergarten and Primary school Sainte-Lutgarde
?One school, two locations in a green and country side environment?
For more than 130 ans, the Sainte-Lutgarde schools are active in the
splendid landscape of central Brabant, in the town Lasne. The schools
feature two locations: one in the Lasne town center, with some 245 students
of the primary cycle; the other at the Chapel site, with 40 students in
Kindergarten and the two lower primary.
Headteacher Sainte-Lutgarde schools Mrs Dominique Hut states:
The Sainte-Lutgarde schools in Lasne aim to help the child build up
competence and knowledge, while developing self-confidence, awareness and
autonomy.
Our schools wish to promote the joy of learning in a serene and positive
atmosphere, in line with requirements.
To meet these goals, the Child-Parent-Teacher partnership is an
indispensable asset.
Saint-Laurent school
Since several years, the Saint-Laurent school participates to the Space
Classes. Every year, the pupils of 3rd primary work on space topics, so we
can devote many lessons to this thematic. Twice we had the opportunity to
talk to Thomas and we follow his training for his great adventure on the
ISS. This year, two classes participate to the project and we are very
excited to ask questions to Thomas on his work on the Space Station and his
dream as an astronaut.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. Gembloux :La nourriture a-t-elle le m?me go?t que sur Terre?
2. Lasnes : Est-ce facile de toujours rester en apesanteur?
3. Gembloux : Dormez-vous bien dans cette position?

About ARISS:
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative
venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies
that support the International Space Station (ISS). In the United States,
sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American
Radio Relay League (ARRL), the Center for the Advancement of Science in
Space (CASIS) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The
primary goal of ARISS is to promote exploration of science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics (STEM) topics by organizing scheduled contacts
via amateur radio between crew members aboard the ISS and students in
classrooms or informal education venues. With the help of experienced
amateur radio volunteers, ISS crews speak directly with large audiences in
a variety of public forums. Before and during these radio contacts,
students, teachers, parents, and communities learn about space, space
technologies, and amateur radio. For more information, see www.ariss.org,
www.amsat.org, and www.arrl.org.
Thank you & 73,

Hi Scott,
A perfect splitter introduces a loss of 3dB, since half of the signal
goes to the other receiver. A real world splitter will have a slightly
greater loss due to imperfections, but something like 3.1dB or 3.2dB is
usual, so I'll call that 3dB for the sake of the argument.
If you have no preamp, this raises your noise figure by 3dB. However,
since you have a preamp before the splitter, you have to divide by the
gain of the preamp. Say your preamp has a gain of 20dB (which is
typical). Then your noise figure is only raised by 0.03dB, which is tiny.
The important question is how much signal-to-noise you lose because of
this increase of 0.03dB in noise figure. This depends on your antenna
temperature (which is the amount of noise that your antenna grabs from
the environment). Noise figure is normalized at 290K, so if your antenna
temperature is 290K you lose precisely 0.03dB of SNR. Your antenna
temperature is almost never 290K. At 2m it is likely that the antenna
temperature will be much greater than 290K, on the order of thousands of
K. Therefore, your losses in SNR are much smaller than 0.03dB. On 70cm
and higher, the antenna temperature can be lower than 290K (much lower
on the high microwave bands), especially in quiet rural zones.
Therefore, your SNR losses will be much greater than 0.03dB but still a
fraction of a dB, so you won't even notice the losses.
These are the exact calculations (by the way, the same calculations can
be used for coax losses and any other sort of losses after the preamp).
In layman's term it's much simpler: you lose (almost) nothing, because
your preamp provides enough signal gain to feed both of your receivers
with adequate signal level, despite the fact that the signal power is
split in half.
There might be a problem if the gain of your preamp is especially low
(say 10dB) and you're in a very quiet area.
73,
Dani.

In 2008-2009 we used to have regular College Satellite Nights, where clubs
active in our area of interest would get on the birds at the same time and
give out contacts. Please let me know if there is an interest again in
doing this once per month and if the group minds allowing SO-50 to be the
venue.
It is important to our future that we grow our ranks through attracting
younger hams. OSCAR operating at the college level can also be a huge
advantage for attractive college students to the hobby. Many of our
technician course attendees at UF are there for that reason (we give
two licensing courses a year).
Please help spread the word to those at your local universities, and to
other college clubs. There will be a College Student Amateur Radio Forum
at HamCation HamFest in Orlando, Saturday Feb. 11. Please let college
student hams know of the event info.
The event is ARRL sponsored, part of CARI, the Collegiate Amateur Radio
Initiative. The forum will take place at 3pm, and there is room for 50
college student attendees. There are more events planned for the day,
including an evening social event for college students. We should also have
table space for the day for college clubs to distribute club info and to
meet, greet, and network with alumni. The table would be a good place for
high school student hams to network in preparation for a life of amateur
radio during the upcoming college years.
Questions can be directed to the moderator of the forum, UF Doctoral
student Andy Milluzzi, KK4KWR - andy@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx

Steve,
Could be the antenna. Can you hear the local repeater as normal or a local
beacon?
Are you getting an eye diagram? Or no signal in FoxTelem at all?
Check that the output sample rate from SDR# is the same as the sample rate
on VB and on FoxTelem. Set them all to 48k if you can.

Thanks to everyone on SO-50 for their patience with my deaf QRM and mangled

No. The ARRL LoTW configuration file must include the name of the

AMSAT has requested that BY70-1 be added as "BY70-1" in the next
configuration file. AMSAT has also requested that this update be made
no later than January 31st due to NPOTA QSOs that were made via the
satellite.
AMSAT has also requested the addition of IO-86 as well as SAREX and
MIREX for QSOs that occurred via the digipeater carried on various
Space Shuttle missions and the Mir space station. If anyone notices a
satellite that was available for amateur operation that is not
included in the LoTW configuration file, please let me know.
Please also keep in mind that there may be a delay in requests being
made for the addition of satellites to the LoTW configuration file
while AMSAT awaits word of any potential OSCAR number request.
73,
Paul, N8HM

Hello from New Mexico Tech,
We are working on our setup, but I would love to participate in this sort
of monthly event. Let me know details if this goes through and we will try
to get on the birds.
I used to be net ctrl of Colorado Amateur Satellite net but have to wait
'til we get the AllStar repeater up at our school to do a net like that
again.
