Steve,
I know how you know... That did the trick. I knew it would be something
glaringly obvious.
Thanks for pointing it out..

Rick,
Capitalization is important in this case. NAYIF-1 doesn?t match Nayif-1.
You need to edit the DOPPLER.SQF file to spell Nayif with upper and lower
case letters. Ask me how I know that. ;-)

Mark,
Yep - that was me calling CQ tonight. My first time trying PSK31 on NO-84.
I read your posts on the subject and it sounds like you are doing everything
right.
I was able to consistently seem myself when running 50 watts throughout the
pass and as low as 20 watts when the satellite was overhead. Any less and I
couldn't make the round trip and decode myself.
I mostly used a Zero-Five 10-40 ground plane vertical (27 feet) but I was
also able to make the trip with a G5RV Jr. antenna about 15 feet above
ground. I might try the G5RV Jr. for the full pass next time since that is
a cloud warmer for sure at that height.
I am using a TS-2000 for both TX and receive.
I assume you are 28.120 Mhz USB on your uplink (never hurts to check) and
have configured DopplerPSK with your location and put fresh elements in the
tle folder where DopplerPSK is.
I noticed it took a few seconds to activate the transponder when I started
transmitting.
Well, that's all I have to offer at this point since today was my first try
using this mode.
Thanks,
Brad Schumacher

I see there are quite a few Chinese 25 watt dualband mobile FM rigs out
there today at great prices, like under $100. Jetstream, Leixen and quite
a few other brands are out there. Has anyone tried these on the FM
satellites, and if so, how do they work?

Tonight, I am pretty sure I saw my downlink signal. Unfortunately it was
very weak using the off-center-fed dipole transmit antenna. And...there was
a Doppler shift even though I was using DopplerPSK for transmit. The signal
did start and stop as I started and stopped DopplerPSK transmit, so I am
pretty confident I am seeing my transmission.
Maybe a true ? whip is needed for transmit...

Subject: NO-84 - the investigation continues
Making some progress....0335 UTC pass, I decoded the PSK31 beacon AND
decoded W5SAT calling CQ.
However, I failed to see my signal on the downlink again. I am using 65
watts and an inverted L for 160 that tunes for 10 meters. The thing should
be working, I worked several EU stations on 40 meters with just 5 watts
tonight, so it's radiating SOMETHING.
I am sending PSK31 with DopplerPSK and then trying with FLDIGI, so it's not
the software.
I am getting power out per the wattmeter, so it's not the transmit setup.
EZNEC shows a mostly cloud-warmer type of pattern for the inverted L on 10
meters, with some small gain at lower angles.
Maybe I will try the off-center-fed dipole next. What are other folks using
for antennas on the uplink?

Elementary School, Peru, IN
Message-ID: <BC4A2167213F4B10BC340E178C128661@xxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at Blair Pointe Upper Elementary School, Peru, IN on 09 Mar.
The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 15:21 UTC. The duration of
the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The contact will be
direct between NA1SS and WD9GIU. The contact should be audible over the
state of Indiana and adjacent areas. Interested parties are invited to
listen in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. The contact is expected to be
conducted in English.
Blair Pointe Elementary School is in small town, Peru, IN. It is a town that
is about 70 miles north of Indianapolis, and is in the same county as
Grissom Air Reserve Base. It is a school that houses third through sixth
graders. Blair Pointe is part of the Peru Community School Corporation that
has
approximately 2,150 students in all 5 of its buildings. Our school has a
diverse population with students coming from rural areas, apartments, mobile
home parks, and low and middle income homes.
As a school, we provide many opportunities outside of the classroom to
learn. A very high population of our students attend our various after
school programs such as our remediation program, choir, art club, and
robotics. We also have a high focus on the fine arts and through this we are
able to provide a lot of learning across subject areas. This year we were
able to bring in astronaut Jerry Ross to speak with our students about his
space career. In addition, we have a very strong sports program including
baseball, soccer, football, track, golf, cross country, wrestling,
basketball, tennis, and volleyball.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. Why and when did you become an astronaut?
2. How many people work on the space station at one time? And why?
3. What is your job on the space station?
4. What do you do when someone gets sick while on the space station?
5. Has anyone ever broken a bone on the space station? Do bones break
differently in space?
6. What kind of experiments do you do in space and are they safe or
dangerous?
7. What happens if something in space hits the space station and damages the
ship? How would you fix it?
8. How do you keep track of all the floating debris?
9. Do the other astronauts sometimes get on your nerves?
10. How does it feel to be away from your family?
11. We all know astronauts have months of training, but has there been one
thing you were not ready for in your experience?
12. What is a day like on the ISS? What do you do every day?
13. When you are going into space and start feeling less gravity, do you feel
light-headed or nauseous? If so, is there anything in your training to
prepare you for this?
14. If your space suit gets torn, how would you fix it, and has it ever
happened to you before?
15. Do you ever get hot or cold in space and is there air conditioning on the
ISS?
16. Is there wifi in space?
17. Are you ever scared that you might run out of oxygen or that your ship
goes away from the Milky Way
galaxy?
18. Have you ever become unhooked from the space station? What does it feel
like to be floating around in space?
19. Is time in space different from time on Earth?
20. Do you have to be a certain age, height, or weight to go into space?
21. How many missions have you gone on? Do you have a favorite one? Why?
22. How many times did you orbit the Earth on your last trip to space?
23. Do you ever get dizzy from floating around all the time?
24. Would you say space is a harsh environment? Why or why not?
25. What is the hardest thing you need to do up in space? Why?
26. What do you see other than stars? Do you see any weird things in space?
27. What do you do in your free time? What is your favorite thing to do in
space?
28. Is it hard to adjust to being back on Earth after being in 0 gravity?

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.

Subject: [amsat-bb] Upcoming ARISS contact with 3rd Junior High
School, Komotini, Greece
Message-ID: <4F8DB5AA78A8434393807E2CC8C8B7AF@xxx>

An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at 3rd Junior High School, Komotini, Greece on 10 Mar. The
event is scheduled to begin at approximately 08:20 UTC. The duration of the
contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The contact will be
direct between OR4ISS and SV7APQ. The contact should be audible over Greece
and adjacent areas. Interested parties are invited to listen in on the
145.800 MHz downlink. The contact is expected to be conducted in English.
The 3rd Junior High School of Komotini is one of the 13 schools of Secondary
Education that operate in Komotini, a city in the Region of Eastern
Macedonia and Thrace, in the north-east of Greece. Our school is one of the
oldest in the Municipality of Rodopi. The current building was constructed
in 1992. Its a relatively new building with 16 classrooms, and laboratories
for Computer Science, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Music rooms,
multiple-function rooms and a fully-equipped library. There are
approximately 350 registered students (age 12-15), and 38 teachers of
different fields in our school. One of the main characteristics of our
school is its multi-cultural character. 25% percent of our students come
from repatriated Greek families who lived for about a century in countries
of the Former Soviet Union (Russia, Georgia, Armenia, Ukraine, etc) and came
back to Greece in 1990 after the collapse of the regime in the countries of
Eastern Europe. These students speak both the Gr
eek and the Russian language fluently. 16% percent of our students are
Muslims. The existence of a Greek Muslim minority in Thrace has been
recognized internationally since 1922. Among them, there is a significant
number of Pomaks and Roma students. There are integration classes for
students with special educational needs and learning disabilities taught by
teachers of Special Education. Additionally, every year many national
educational programmes, such as Environmental Education, Health Education,
Consumer Education and many Cultural programmes (music, dance, theatre, art,
radio, astronomy) are implemented. Our school also has a very active cycling
club. Students go on various educational trips every year, visiting other
parts of Greece and expanding their learning skills and abilities.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. What is the most challenging problem of living in space?
2. Can you see the moon closer from Earth, is it different?
3. How do you stabilize the food on the table?
4. How often do you do extravehicular activity?
5. Is it very difficult to become an astronaut?
6. Do you have sufficient oxygen in ISS?
7. If you had just one wish to become true for your job what would it be?
8. If a member of the crew is injured can you give him first aid?
9. When you come back to earth, is it easy for you to walk?
10. Which is the difference between day and night in Earth and in Moon?
11. What is the main target of your expedition?
12. Can you see meteor showers from space?
13. Have you ever seen a comet from space?
14. How long did the preparation for this expedition last?
15. How many hours do you work, do you have shifts?
16. What is the most extreme procedure of your expedition?
17. What is your favorite food in space?
18. How old were you when you decided to become an astronaut and what was the
motive of your decision?

I've had several requests recently to try and hit Mississippi for some
folks' WAS award, so tonight I'll run a few hours down the interstate and
operate from Southhaven, MS for a for a bit. For sure passes schedule is as
follows:
2017-03-08 XW-2A 0109UTC
2017-03-08 SO-50 0145UTC
2017-03-08 AO-73 0215UTC
If I make good time driving I *might* be on some of the XW's before 0100z,
and if there are huge piles and I can't get to everyone I *might* stick
around for Nayif and FO29 at the end, but plan on being there for those 3.
I'll be on APRS KG5CCI-5, and updates via Twitter @xxxxxx.
73, Dave.

Check the archives, John. Patrick WD9EW, has done extensive tests on this
subject and posted his results.
His bottom line was that it was not a good solution
(your mileage may vary)

Subject: [amsat-bb] Chinese mobile rigs on Satellites
I see there are quite a few Chinese 25 watt dualband mobile FM rigs out
there today at great prices, like under $100. Jetstream, Leixen and quite a
few other brands are out there. Has anyone tried these on the FM
satellites, and if so, how do they work?

I thought he mostly did reviews of Chinese HTs. Did he also do the
mobile radios?
