Pleased to confirm that the FM repeater on LilacSat-1 is alive! My
transmissions were clearly visible in my SDR waterfall when they were
repeated.
I didn't have a great setup on the RX side this first try as I had to use a
regular RTL-SDR with the linux GNU Radio decoder. But even with that I was
able to decode a ton of telemetry and heard parts of N6RFM when he was being
repeated.
I have an ace in the hole as I was recording with an SDRPlay on Windows.
So, I'll replay that now and see if there was really more to hear on the
downlink than I realized when working the pass "live".
Just wanted to get this note out for anyone interested as quickly as
possible.
Here's a tweet with a screen shot but don't laugh at the little RTL-SDR's
struggle to deal with my transmissions. When I was not keying the mic, you
can clearly see the downlink right where it should be around 436.510.
FYI, the demod in GNU Radio was using TLE's for the ISS which I would
imagine are fine here on the first couple of orbits, but I'm not an
authority on that kind of thing.

Hi folks,
AO73/FUNcube is now in amateur mode for the weekend with the transponder on!
Please see below for all FUNcube mission info
73s Graham G3VZV and the FUNcube team.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
FUNcube frequencies and other details
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
AO-73 FUNcube-1
The transponder is normally operational only when the satellite is in
eclipse, ie the solar panels are NOT being illuminated. During weekends
(from pm Fridays UTC to PM Sundays UTC) the transponder is operational 24/7.
When the transponder is switched off, the telemetry beacon is on full power,
when the transponder is on the beacon it is on low power. During holidays,
eg Christmas, New Year, Easter, etc, the transponder maybe activated for
extended periods. Watch AMSAT-BB for announcements which are usually made on
Friday evenings (UTC)
The nominal transponder frequencies are:
Uplink: 435.150 - 435.130 MHz LSB (Inverting)
Downlink: 145.950 - 145.970 MHz USB
Telemetry Tx: 145.935 MHz BPSK
(The passband may be up to 15kHz higher depending on on-board temps. Lower
temperatures give higher freqs!)
FUNcube-2 (aka FUNcube on UKube)
The FUNcube-2 sub-system continues to operate autonomously and, almost
continuously, in amateur mode. The transponder is operational and the
telemetry downlink is functioning with about 70mW output. The FUNcube-1
Dashboard does not correctly display the telemetry but it does correctly
decode the data and uploads it to the FUNcube Data Warehouse from where it
can be examined. Most of the real time data channels are operational and
these include battery voltages, temperatures and ADCS data coming via the
main On Board Computer (OBC).
The transponder is interrupted for a few seconds every 2 minutes when the
other transmitter sends its CW beacon and, occasionally, for a few seconds
when the main OBC reboots (approx seven times each orbit).
The nominal transponder frequencies are:
Uplink: 435.080 - 435.060 MHz LSB (Inverting)
Downlink: 145.930 - 145.950 MHz USB
Telemetry Tx: 145.915 MHz BPSK
(The passband may be up to 10kHz higher depending on on-board temps. Low
temperatures give higher freqs!)
EO79 FUNcube-3
Due to power budget constraints the transponder cannot be operational 24/7
and an orbit specific schedule has been developed. The transponder will
commence operation 27 minutes after the spacecraft enters sunlight and will
stay on for a period of 25 minutes. This schedule may be modified in future
months as a result of experience.
The nominal transponder frequencies are:
Uplink: 435.0723-435.0473 MHz LSB (Inverting)
Downlink: 145.946-145.971 MHz USB
Further detailed info on EO79 transponder frequencies is at:
https://amsat-uk.org/2016/11/10/eo79-funcube-3-transponder-commences-regular-o
peration/
EO88/Nayif-1/FUNcube-5
EO88 is presently operating in autonomous mode. The transponder is
operational when the satellite is in eclipse, ie the solar panels are NOT
being illuminated.
When the transponder is switched off, the telemetry beacon is on full power,
when the transponder is on the beacon it is on low power.
The transponder frequencies are:
Uplink: 435.045 ? 435.015 MHz LSB (inverting)
Downlink: 145.960-145.990 MHz USB
Telemetry Tx: 145.940MHz
All FUNcube transponders are sponsored by AMSAT-UK and AMSAT-NL. We are very
grateful for the assistance given by Innovative Solution In Space Bv, The
Netherlands.

I'm in possession of a piece of gear that was found while packing up the
AMSAT booth. If you think it's yours, tell me what it is and I will get it
to you ASAP.

Although I have never had the chance to attend, the NOAA/SWPC Space
Weather Workshops always have some interesting presentations, and PDFs
of slides for many presentations are available to the public. One
presentation at the 2017 event was titled "Satellite Tracking and
Collision Avoidance (DOD)" by Capt. Fred Schmidt. It has an interesting
graphic showing satellite catalog growth (page 18) since 1961:
http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/sites/default/files/images/u33/%281640%29%20JSpOC%20O
ps_Conjunction%20Assessment_Schmidt.pdf
Even though the commercial space age is just beginning, the skies are
already a crowded place. It's also interesting that a substantial
percentage of objects are of "unknown" designation.
Workshop presentations for this year and previous years are available here:

I just bought a Ft847 so have my like new Kenwood THD72A full duplex dual
band HT with a new Batteries America EMs-K45 Desk rapid charger and new
PB-45L 7.4 volt 2000 mah LI-ION Battery. The radio comes with all items when
purchased new on 4/5/2017 ad the charger/battery was bought on april 29,
2017. Total paid was $491.00 I will sell them for $421.00 shipped CONUS ..
If anyone is interested this would be a great way to get on the fm sats.
Thanks for looking JACK KC7MG Good on QRZ.COM

If anyone has access to a ride to space on a HOST, remember that we have a
fully qualified flight unit DIGIPEATER and DTMF transponder module ready to
fly as an attached payload to any HOST spacecraft. Lets call it QIKCOM-3.
The mission of the identical QIKCOM-2 is described here:
http://aprs.org/qikcom-2.html
We delivered the QIKCOM-2 flight Unit#1 back in 2015, and it might finally
fly this fall. So, I just realized that the backup FLIGHT unit is also
ready to fly (attached to a suitable host).
Unfortunately, the Air Force (responsible for all DoD satellite launches)
has unilaterally declared that they will not accept any more Amateur Radio
student satellites from the Naval Academy for flight on DoD launches*, and
so this unit is available to anyone that can get it attached to a payload
and get it launched.
*this is a two year long battle and we appear to be losing. Don?t ask.
I?ll give the sorrid tale when the last and final nail is in the coffin.
But in the meantime, this module is available and so I wanted to get it out
there for possible alternate rides to space. Since that seems to take
several years?
