I am trying to record my passes on the computer and am using software called
?Free Audio Recorder?. I have found that in my opinion it is not as
flexible as I need it to be. It seems to record at a relatively low level
and I have to play it back full volume and even then can?t pick out some
details that I need from a recording. I am using a Windows computer that
should be plenty fast. I am curious what you folks use to achieve this
function?
As usual, thanks for your time.

Fred,
My experience with recording software has shown that if the recordings are
low it typically is one of two things and not the software.
1. Mismatch to your recording device such a wrong impedance.
2. Windows device input setting take priority over recording software. This
means that your windows input levels must be set to a usable level before
attempting to use software to record.
I hope this helps.

I'm staying on the far northern edge of DM95 this week and have been
operating some passes from DM86/96. I was looking at the map and I could
activate DM87/97 easily with an hour and a half drive. If you need these
grids, please reply direct to this email. I'm thinking about doing it
tomorrow (Thursday) afternoon or evening.

Hello everyone,
The tubesat Tancredo-1 (http://www.ubatubasat.com/en/), built by middle
school students at the Tancredo Neves public school in Ubatuba, state of
Sao Paulo, Brazil, is scheduled to be deployed from the TuPOD, a tubesat
deployer developed by Gauss in Italy (https://www.gaussteam.com/tag/tupod/).
TuPOD was successfully deployed from the ISS this past Monday, Jan 16th,
and should start transmitting a CW beacon on 437.425 MHz for a few days,
starting from tomorrow around 22:00 UTC.
The Tancredo-1 deployment is also scheduled for tomorrow around 22:00 UTC
and right after deployment it should start transmitting telemetry using
packet radio (1200 bps AFSK) on 437.200 MHz with the callsign PY0ETA. The
telemetry format is described in this document: https://goo.gl/qOK6qM
Reports will be much appreciated and can be send online using this web
page: http://www.amsat-br.org/tools/srs/

I tried to work BY70-1 (repeater) for the last three days without success.
Has anyone determined whether it is 'stuck' in data mode or has the
repeater stopped working? I've noticed on the AMSAT Satellite Status Page
that the last three days of reports are mostly 'No signal'. Has there
been any report from the 'mission control' of BY70-1 regarding this?

Doesn't appear to have "gone dark" more the repeaters been turned off
and its currently in telemetry mode.
My guess is that its so they can run the science payload (camera) and
get some data from it.

Hi all,
The camera is not only the science payload. It's open for all hams to
use it. As far as I know, it's the first time in the history of Amateur
Radio that something like this happens (namely that scientific equipment
on a satellite is open for remote control by all Amateurs).
BY70-1 will reenter in a few weeks. In the mean time, go and have some
fun: try to use the camera. Probably you'll need to team up with fellow
hams in your area to receive the complete image properly.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed
All,
Last Monday 2017-01-16 six cubesats were launched from the Japanese
Kibo module of the ISS, using the J-SSOD cubesat deployer.
ITF 2, Waseda-sat 3 and Freedom were deployed at 09:10 UTC. EGG was
deployed at 09:20 UTC. AOBA-Velox 3 was deployed at 10:40 UTC. TUPOD
was deployed at 10:50 UTC.
The JSpOC published the first TLE sets two days after the launch and
assigned preliminary IDs to the new cubesats. Detailed doppler
measurements show that some of these IDs are not correct:
ITF 2 is object 41932, 1998-067KU
AOBA-Velox 3 is object 41935, 1998-067KX
TUPOD is object 41931, 1998-067KT.
Around 22:00 UTC on 2017-01-19 the first ever Tubesats were deployed into
orbit from the cubesat TUPOD, i.e. Tancredo 1 (Brazil) and OSNSAT (USA).
Tancredo 1 is still close to TUPOD, so for the time being TUPOD's TLE set
can be used to track this Tubesat.
