Hi, Amsat-BB
Are there any antenna designs that use predominantly rotating
sub-reflectors and a reflector for tracking LEO birds, in contrast to
rotating the main antenna structure on booms in the AZ-EL directions ?
I am aware of multi-LNB antenna arrangements, thought it would be
interesting to find out ways to keep a fairly large reflector constant
on the ground and use a smaller steerable sub-reflector or horn feed
to aim the beam ?
Any ideas ?

Hi Luc,
TLMEcho is the program for LIVE decoding of AO-51 telemetry packets
during a pass. Some telemetry channels are sent via 9600 baud packet
at a regular interval, usually 10 seconds, and TLMEcho can decode
these (using a 9600 baud modem) LIVE as they are coming down.
The new WOD decoder is different--it is used to decode satellite
telemetry data collected (more channels usually) and stored on the
satellite during a whole orbit (usually set for 24 hours). Once the
WOD file is finished, it appears on the PBBS and can be downloaded via
WISP. The downloaded WOD file can then be decoded by DK3WN's new
program after it has been downloaded from the satellite as a big file
(about 180k).
I hope that helps clear things up :)
73,
Mark N8MH

Hi Mark
Is it a new program or a new update for "tlmecho"? I guess it's a new
one but just to be safe.

While searching for public text concerning Amateur satellites and
phased array antennas, I came across this gem from our very own Tom
Clark, K3IO
http://mysite.verizon.net/w3iwi/electronic_scanning_antennas.pdf,
"Electronic Scanning Antennas for Amateur Spacecraft". I wonder if
this knowhow could be utilized for ground stations to have antennas
that could rapidly switch between different birds by a software reload
function and a intelligent switching matrix ?
How many of you would prefer (if a command station) to have
multi-access to satellites as they pass during conjunction but use a
small antenna farm selectively to access them _simultaneously_.

I've used "gpasm" for assembly, and "picprog" for serial port programming,
both under Linux, with excellent results.
I generally select the PIC I use in my projects based on the functions I
require, and how well it is supported under the assembler and programmer
indicated above.
This approach has worked extremely well for my purposes.

These days I have a code bank and just copy and paste

This is a great paper and solid work. It doesnt have a chance of being
implemented on an amateur radio budget or time scale to the point where a
solid reliable platform can be flown.
What the satellite group needs is more Oscar 7's (or VO 52's) and Oscar
10...Arsene and Oscar IV were not bad concepts. Face it, we are not going
to make "working the world" on an HT a viable proposition.

I've always wanted to build a preamp that incorporated some helical filters
(resonators), just haven't gotten around to it. It should be possible to
build a small one to do just what you want.

Good point, Allan. Actually, I was especially thinking of doing this
in some sort of arrangement that avoided the duplexer, perhaps using
an FT-817 on FO-29.
Even with the duplexer, there might be some solutions to the problem
you present. For instance, one could try making some sort of
vox-enabled power switching for the preamp, which turned it off when
one began to transmit. Then you'd at least have the benefit of the
preamp when you were copying the other station(s).

Samudra,
You could use a polar mount and preset mast angle and azmuth before each
pass. That will give you a single axis control. Most antennas are moer that
30 degrees in beamwidth, the system only needs to be close +/- 15 degrees to
have max signal.
Art,
KC6UQH

There is a simple one page (or screen) sat predictor for most used birds at
http://amsat.org.ar/?f=d
After setting your grid locator you get next passes in local time at your

I heard LuSAT the other night...I believe. It may have drifted off
frequency significantly. I thought that it was a problem with HRD not
tracking...but when I hit F2 for Manual Tune, I QSYd UP...and found
its strong CW being sent. Next pass, try hunting around for it.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I can swear I heard it ID as LUSAT hihihi.
I know I'll be listening later.

Hi John,
I heard in the range of +/- 15 KHz around the nominal frequency - there was
nothing in all European passes today.
Thanks and best 73

I heard LuSAT the other night...I believe. It may have drifted off
frequency significantly. I thought that it was a problem with HRD not
tracking...but when I hit F2 for Manual Tune, I QSYd UP...and found
its strong CW being sent. Next pass, try hunting around for it.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I can swear I heard it ID as LUSAT hihihi.
I know I'll be listening later.
