Joe,
There is no configuration utility built into the program. You need to
simply edit the following four (4) text files in the program as needed:
1. SETTINGS.INI (this is where the settings you asked about are)
2. DOPPLER.SQF (use this to add future satellites)(rarely needed)
3. TLE / nasabare.txt (VERY Important...update weekly)
4. MACROS / <filename> (configure to your liking)
I have seen your call recently on the satellite, late in the pass for
me. At present the high spin rate of NO-84 is making copy of the PSK31
signals difficult. You are there.

Looking for help with this program.
All the Google results that have help guides are busted.
I fully understand the concept of the program.
But wonder is there a way to adjust the base start up frequency?
Every time I have used it, I'm worried if I may be passing out of many
peoples passbands! Even my radios for that matter on transmit. It seems
really high all the time. I do not think it has ever been lower than 2500 Hz

Yeah just getting started on this cool bird.
How well was I getting in?
I need to better my receive end.
Started with a Mini wheel and ARR Gas fet pre amp, was OK but nothing to
scream about.
Over the weekend swapped that out to what Bob APR suggests a 2 meter GP
3/4 wave on 70 CM and the pre-amp.
See of that works any better B4 I end up with the complex beams and
rotors etc.

I sent Joe the documentation directly.? If the site isn't fixed in a little
while I'll find somewhere else to put them.? In the meantime, if anyone else
needs?the DopplerPSK package please let me know directly.
While not documented, the settings.ini file defines the Doppler center
frequency in Hz.? This can be changed manually and the program restarted to
"recenter" the audio carrier driving the SSB transmitter.??The default?was
chosen to be 2000Hz as the default since this means that the entire Doppler
shift will typically run?from about 1400-2600Hz with NO-84.? This should be
within the IF passband of most SSB transmitters while keeping the second
harmonic beyond the cutoff frequency of that same filter...if?you keep
things linear in the audio chain a lower frequency should be okay.? This
might be helpful if your transmitter shows significant rolloff at high
frequencies.

Subject: [amsat-bb] Make Up Grid Expedition FN27 + FN28
Message-ID: <7fdf2a14-bcea-7ded-fc08-3a60195bdce1@xxxxxx.xxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed
Technical difficulties prevented me from reaching FN27 in my recent grid
expedition. It's time to correct that situation. February 20th is a
statutory holiday in Canada, so I'm going to tack on a few vacation days
and return to FN27.
As it turns out, there's a small sawmill town further up the road and
just south of the FN28 boundary! The plan as of today's will be to haul
a$$ from home to Mont-Laurier QC (FN26gn) on Friday Feb 17th, then head
into FN27 and FN28 on Saturday. Spend the night in Parent QC, (FN27qw)
and operate a little more from both grids on Sunday morning. Sunday
night in will be spent in Ottawa, ON and return to base on Monday.
My objective is to make up for missing FN27 and to activate FN28 because
it's possible. Operation from other grids will only take place in the
evenings, when I arrive at my hotel. It's not very ambitious as far as
activating new grids is concerned (although they are high quality
grids!), but there's a lot of driving involved to get there and back;
nearly 2,000 km (approx 1,200 mi) of driving in only 3 days.
That said, if anyone has the time and thinks they could put up with me,
I would be very happy to have a co-pilot to share the driving and modest
expenses with. The Quebec countryside is very beautiful and the people
are warm and friendly.
Please contact me privately if you're up for a mini-adventure in
February. More details as we get closer to the date.
73,
Ken

Every year, ESA gives some of its ESERO offices the unique opportunity
to gather primary and secondary school teachers, students, and space
scientists and engineers around an inflight call with an ESA astronaut
on board the ISS.
This year, local events are organised by ESERO Ireland, ESERO Romania
and ESERO Portugal. These events will take place in Limerick,
Timi?oara, and Lisbon, respectively.
The inflight call with Thomas Pesquet is part of a vast range of
educational activities delivered by ESA and its European Space
Education Resource Office (ESERO) project. There are currently 10
operational ESERO Offices across Europe, covering 13 ESA Member
States. ESA?s ESERO project is a collaboration between ESA, national
space agencies, and educational partners.
ESEROs design and disseminate classroom resources ? all tailored to
the national school curricula and language - which make use of space
to make teaching and learning of STEM subjects more appealing and
effective. In addition, they offer teacher training workshops and
conferences for both primary and secondary school teachers, and
support educational hands-on projects in the country. Through their
activities, ESEROs also raise awareness about STEM-related career
prospects, and promote the importance of space in our daily lives.

Description du Swiss Space Center
Le Swiss Space Center oeuvre pour que les institutions de recherche et les
entreprises puissent acc?der au secteur spatial et collaborer entre elles
sur des projets d'envergure internationale.
Raccord? ? l'EPFL, le Swiss Space Center s'investit aussi dans la formation
professionnelle, les activit?s ?ducatives avec les jeunes et l'appr?ciation
de l'espace de la part du grand public.
Ecoles participantes
Deux ?coles ont r?pondu pr?sent ? l'offre de passer un coup de fil ? la
Station Spatiale Internationale.
1. L'Ecole primaire de Ch?teauneuf participera avec des enfants tr?s jeunes
et d?j? tr?s experts de l'espace: ils ont ?tudi? le Syst?me Solaire et la
Terre ainsi que diff?rentes missions spatiales et l'implication de la Suisse
et l'Europe dans leur contexte. Ils suivent Thomas Pesquet sur les r?seaux
sociaux depuis son entra?nement et sont pr?ts ? prendre le relais de lui:
ils savent d?j? quoi mettre dans la valise d'un kilo et demi ? laquelle les
astronautes ont droit pour un s?jour ? bord de la Station.
2. Les ?l?ves de secondaire l'Etablissement de Pr?verenges sont aussi tr?s
bien pr?par?s: pour ces gar?ons et filles la gravit? ne fait plus peur car
ils ont ?tudi? les forces, comment les mod?liser, mesurer et calculer. De
plus les classes ont aussi conduit un atelier autour de l'alimentation des
astronautes ? bord de la Station.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1 Quelle heure est-il en ce moment sur ISS?
2 F?teras-tu ton anniversaire autour de bougies, g?teau et de cadeaux?
3 Pouvez-vous s'il vous plait nous d?crire ce que vous voyez hormis la
Terre et le Soleil?
4 Quelles sont les choses les plus dr?les que vous faites en apesanteur?
5 Que faites-vous pendant votre temps libre?
6 Quel est la nourriture que tu n'aimes pas manger dans l'espace?
7 Quelles ?taient tes mati?res pr?f?r?es ? l'?cole?
8 Ta maman te manque?
9 As-tu observ? les effets de la pollution sur notre plan?te?
10 Dans le Soyouz et ISS as-tu entendu des bruits qui font peur?
11 Quelle ?tait votre motivation pour aller dans l'espace?
12 Entre combien de candidats avez vous ?t? choisi et pourquoi?
13 Pendant l'entra?nement, quelle a ?t? pour vous la chose la plus
difficile a r?aliser?
14 Quelles sont les exp?riences scientifiques que vous faites?
15 Qu'est-ce que cela vous procure d'?tre en apesanteur?
16 Votre sommeil est-il diff?rent quand vous dormez dans l'ISS?
17 Qu'est-ce que vous faites si vous avez une urgence m?dicale?
18 Y a-t-il des disputes entre les astronautes?
19 Qu'est-ce qu'il vous manque le plus de la vie normale?
20 Quelle est votre plus grande peur durant votre s?jour dans l'espace?

Description of the Swiss Space Center
The Swiss Space Center works to facilitate access to the space sector for
both research institutions and industrial partners, so that they can
collaborate on the realization of international projects.
Based at EPFL, the Swiss Space Center also works to disseminate public
awareness of space, to provide educational activities to school pupils and
training to university students.
Participating Schools
Two schools have answered present to the offer of giving astronauts a ring
onboard the International Space Station.
1. The Ecole primaire de Ch?teauneuf will participate with kids as young as
6, who are already very knowledgeable about space: they studied the Solar
System and the Earth, various space missions and what role Europe and
Switzerland have in them. They have been following Thomas Pesquets on social
media since his training and they are ready to take over from him, as they
already know what to put in the 1.5 kg suitcase that astronautes are allowed
to bring onboard the ISS.
2. Middle school students from the Etablissement de Pr?verenges are also
very well prepared: for these boys and girls
gravity holds no secret anymore as they have studied the concept of forces,
how to model, compute, and measure them;
they have also learned about how astronauts eat on the ISS by conducting a
workshop in the classroom.
1 What time is right now on the ISS?
2 Will you celebrate your birthday with candles, cake and gifts?
3 Could you please describe us what you can see apart the Earth and the Sun?
4 What are the funniest things you can do without gravity?
5 What do you do in your spare time?
6 What is the type of food that you don't enjoy eating in space?
7 What were your favorite school subjects?
8 Do you miss your mum?
9 Have you been able to observe the effects of pollution on our planet?
10 Have you ever experienced frightening noises on both Soyuz and the ISS?
11 What was your motivation to go to space?
12 Among how many candidates were you chosen and why?
13 During your training, what was the most difficult task to accomplish?
14 What experiments are you conducting?
15 What effects does weightlessness have on your body?
16 Does sleeping feel different on the ISS?
17 What do you do if there's a medical emergency onboard?
18 Are there disputes among astronauts?
19 What do you miss the most of life on Earth?
20 What do you fear the most about your stay in space?

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,
David - AA4KN
