I too use sprinkler wire. I've had the same wire outside for 12 years now
and it's in great condition. And it cost me about 75% less than rotor wire.

Hi All,
Whilst we still do not have any keps for Nayif-1, the Celestrak database is
showing numbers for object 2017-008F. These are being updated regularly by
JPsOC and checks using the doppler facility in the Dashboard suggest that
Nayif-1 is currently approximately 90 secs AHEAD of this tracked object.
Nayif-1 is currently still operating nominally and switches between
amateur/educational modes when entering/leaving eclipse. The ADCS/iMTQ
system is not presently active. The telemetry indicates that all is well on
board. The Data Warehouse has the latest telemetry and also shows Whole
Orbit and High Res data. http://data.amsat-uk.org/nayif1/index Thanks for
all the contributions.

Greetings.
I have a question I'm using as one of my prediction programs HRD Sat

always seems to be a BUT isn't there?
When starting it gives this error box popup every time. I tell it "OK",

Did I read somewhere that all 3 birds, AO-73, UKUBE-1 & Nayif-1 can be
decoded on the same dashboard software and the uploads will route themselves
correctly?
I have to leave my station automated & at present it's either AO-73 &
UKUBE-1 (using the same dashboard) or Nayif-1 on its own dashboard.
I want to support all 3 birds with telemetry reception & upload but don't
want to "dump" incorrect data on the wrong server.
Can anyone please clarify the situation & if there is any workaround if a
common dashboard can't be used.
I use a FCD & SatPC32.

OK using this image as a reference,
http://i67.tinypic.com/28mpzkh.jpg
Ok the yagis are 8 elements on 2 meters and 21 elements on 70 cm.
Similar boom lengths.
Now when vertically polarized and stacked side by side as in the top
picture how close can they get to each other before starting to mess
with each other.
Same thing in next image but horizontally polarized so above and below
each other.
Now if they are 90 deg in rotation IE: one is vertically polarized and
the other horizontal, I'm thinking they could even be on the same boom
correct?
So that brings in the third drawing same antennas but at 45 deg to the
horizon but 90 to each other, How close can they get without bugging the
other?
Now with the 45 deg angle thing, how much will a metal cross boom mess
with them?

Hi Dave,
The situation is as follows:
All Dashboards will track and decode tlm from any of FUNcube-1, UKube and
Nayif1. They will also, without the operator having to take any particular
action, upload that data correctly to the data warehouses and these uploads
will be correctly recorded on the "Upload Ranking" tab. The use of the
"wrong" Dashboard when uploading data to the Warehouse causes the no
problems:)
Although the FUNcube dashboard will display data from the other two
spacecraft, and vice versa, much of the data is invalid as the tlm
sequences and some of the formats are different between the various
spacecraft.
We are presently working on two Dashboard upgrades:
A) creating a "Display the tlm ONLY from the satellite specific to the
particular Dashboard in use" tickbox to select. This will mean that, for
instance, the FUNcube-1 dashboard will not display or store Nayif-1 data.
This will ensure that all the graphs etc only relate to FUNcube-1. Again
thsi would not stop the software decoding tlm from one of the other
spacecraft and forwarding it to the Data Warehouse.
B) creating a single Dashboard which combines all the existing ones into one
"unified" version.
We cannot at this time confirm when either of these "upgrades" will be
available but we appreciate their importance.....
Thanks for all your support

Same Question here, RE placing the two 2-M Yagis directly next to each
other and 90 degree angles.
I read where I can put both of my Cushcraft 3-element Yagis together,
spacing the elements on one so that they are ahead or behind the other
set of elements. Then binding the two Yagi booms together. Feed line
would be one 1/4 wave and one 1/2 wave, "I think". Then the two feed
lines would be soldered together and attached to a PL-259.
I put a couple of photos of my construction project on the AMSAT
Facebook page, but it only shows the 70cm Cushcraft Circularly Polarized
Yagi at one end of the cross-boom and a single 3-element Cushcraft Yagi
at the other end of the cross-member.
I originally placed the second 2-m Yagi at a 1/4 wavelength away from
the end Yagis, but saw some pretty high SWR readings on both the 70cm
and on both 2-m Yagis.
This is more difficult to explain in writing than to actually do. I
will get some photos up to my Ham Radio DropBox account and post the
link here, "real soon now". Photos here might be more illustrative than
my written explanation (pun intended).
I appreciate all of the comments and other advice received here and on
the Facebook AMSAT page.

Esto es m?s dif?cil de explicar por escrito que hacerlo. Voy a obtener

It's looking to connect to the log and HRD radio server components the local
DDE stuff - go into options and shut off radio and log control.

I replied to this earlier, but I thought it would be worth sending to the
whole board.
The idea is to get each antenna out of the aperture of a smaller antenna as
much as possible.
Hope this helps.

All,
While waiting for a TLE set for Nayif 1 from the JSpOC, I constructed
a TLE set based on measurements on a number of passes since launch.
This set is accurate to within 2 seconds and should remain accurate in
the coming days.
NAYIF 1
1 60000U 17008XX 17051.92295152 .00001762 00000-0 80428-4 0 9993

This TLE set can also be downloaded here:
http://hamsat1.home.xs4all.nl/NAYIF1.txt
The actual frequency of the telemetry beacon of Nayif 1 is 145.9385 MHz.
There is virtually no temperature drift on the beacon frequency.

Hi Nico,
Thanks for this.
For educational purposes, I?d love to read an article from you about how you
went about doing that.
Cheers,
Kevin KK6NHN

A while back when I was somewhat active on satellites, I found a few of the
frequencies in SatPC32 were slightly off, needing a little adjustment here
and there. In an effort to get up and running as smoothly as possible, I
would like to know if anyone can share their files to enable me to get up
and running with the most recent crop of birds.
Specifically looking for Doppler, satfiles, subtone, amsatnames, and
celestrak files.
Thanks everyone!

It looks like the spin rate of NO-84 has slowed down to where it is
somewhat easier to copy the PSK-31 signals. Now only if 10 meters
conditions improved a bit more, things could return to the "good ol'e days".
Recently I have seen / worked a couple of new calls on the satellite.
I would like to welcome WB9SBD and AB0CW to my NO-84 PSAT log book,
joining the regulars, WN9M and KC9ELU.

Hi Bob-
I've been watching many of the passes of NO-84 this last month. I didn't
realize that its high spin rate may be some of the issues I'm having with
it. I basically can't get reasonably consistent reception long enough to
possibly complete a QSO ! I've been able to copy my own downlink OK at times
and using DopplerPSK with no issue. And I have copied your call a number of
times.
Does NO-84 go into a "low-power" mode when it is in eclipse ?
My antenna is limited to an "Alaskan Arrow" which is rotor mounted on my
roof and tracks the satellite. Using an IC9100 and an inverted L for the
uplink antenna.
Hopefully condx will improve, as this is a very interesting satellite !
Someday perhaps we can have a regular QSO on NO-84 -
73 Mark AB0CW
