Chris,

    I have the latest Java, I also switched to VAC and ran for a couple
days and saw the error, so I guess it is what it is as.

Fired up our next PSK31 cubesat card for first test and the ground station
got full S9 carrier but signal was full of noise totally masking the PSK31
tones.



Turned off.  Channel was clear. Then opened squelch and there was S9 noise
over 5 Mhz around our UHF downlink.

Went down the  halls with HT and signal tapered slowly down in all
directions.



Came back and with 1? of wire in the HT antenna connector narrowed it down
to a cheap battery charger.



Lesson over and over again, is that a squelch HIDES everything  Even 20+S9
noise sources.  Zero bars while squelched.



Reminded me of when we had local repeater problems.  Turns out it was the
megawatt balloon radar operating in VHF looking over Washington DC.  No one
could hear it with their radio squelched.  But open the squelch and every
channel throughout 2m would show 60+S9 bars on the noisy trash.



It was similarly baffling at the peak of packet in the 90?s when some hams
would complain that their packet system wasn?t working, and yet they never
turned up the volume to listen by ear to the channel to see what was going
on.  I still see that sometimes in our students who think that all you have
to do is hook-up two wireless thingy?s and is should just work? but never
think to listen to a channel or use a spectrum analyzer to see what they
are dealing with.



Turns out, this battery charger (now that I remember) was the SAME one that
got me several years ago.  I was just too old to remember until I had again
done the full DF search through the entire academic building and ended up
right back at the same point.



The older we get the more we have to learn over and over again ;-)

All,

BY70-1 may be expected to re-enter around February 10 to 13.

The apogee of the satellite has now decreased to 392 km and the perigee
has decreased to 203 km.

My wife and I will be cruising to the Bahamas this Sunday and I haven't
decided if I'm going to take radios to work the satellites.  If I did take
them I would probably work So-50 and FO-29 since I would take my FT-897 and
FT-817.  Any interest in those grids?

If you are cheap (like me) and trying to download satellite telemetry as
inexpensively as possible, you may be using the $20 RTL-SDR dongle. It
works but you get the performance that you pay for.

If you're willing to part with another $20, you want to consider the Low
Noise Amplifier for the RTL-SDR from janieelectronics. I ordered one
through eBay and received it yesterday. It ships from Hungary so a
little patience is needed with respect to delivery time, but I did get
mine a day before the last predicted delivery date.

I used it last night and it works! I definitely downloaded more data
packets from AO-85 than I have been getting lately. I also tried it on a
pass of AO-73 that was at a lower angle than I would normally attempt. I
was able to download data from that pass, which I probably would not
have gotten without the preamp.

I wasn't paid and didn't get a discount for the review. I am just happy
that an inexpensive item actually works as promised. If you are as cheap
as I am and looking for a preamp for your SDR, consider the
janieelectronics Wide-Band LNA. It works for me.

We usually go out of Canaveral as well, but in three weeks we are going
out of Port Everglades.

What cruise line are you taking? If you are taking Royal Caribbean's
Oasis of the Seas, RCCL does not allow amateur radio on-board any of
their ships and specifically states such in their what you are not allow
to bring on-board.

If you are taking Carnival, then I believe you won't have a problem. Not
sure about Disney.

I have packed the radio gear.  We will be on the Carnival Liberty so if you
want to track us it might be fun.

I know I will work sats SO-50 and FO-29.  Are there other sats I should
consider?

We leave Port Canaveral sometime on Sunday (day after tomorrow )

All,
I am looking for a set of extender cards for my Yaesu FT-990. The set
consists of 3 boards used for troubleshooting and alignment. The Yaesu P/N -
A03850001 if anyone has a set they would be able to part with.
Thanks,
-Steve A

Hi All,

Just to confirm that AO73 / FUNcube-1 is in full time amateur mode for the
weekend as usual.

Please enjoy using this transponder and also the FUNcube-2 and
EO79/FUNcube-3  transponders as well.

Now there's a ship that's seen plenty of Arrows recently!

SO-50 might be tricky with Yuri sailing through the Atlantic to Mexico
at this time. For the same reason, you might want to avoid the middle
of FO-29. With your proximity to the US, passes of all satellites
should have some activity, so any that work around your schedule
should work out!

73,

Paul, N8HM

Keep an eye out for my dignity if you see it. I think I lost it somewhere
between Guy's Burgers and the 24 hour ice cream machine.
