It would probably be more utilitarian for the HRD developer to fix the
problems with the software first, namely getting Doppler tuning to work with
an 817, before taking on a project like this.

This evening we adjusted 435.300 up to 620mw, and 435.150 down to 450mw.
Previous values were 550mw on .300 and 500mw on .150.

See the links below for photos of a satellite dish that is on the roof of
the Red Cross building in Seattle. ?It is no longer in use and we want to
dispose of it.
We need to know if it worth the trouble to sell, or if it is just scrap
metal. ?It is 48" across.

Hi all,
My visit Thursday thru Sunday to my friends lake house in EM46 just
finished. With a
little Geo Cache trip Friday and a road trip Saturday afternoon, I worked
quite a few
stations from EM35, EM36, EM37, EM46 and EM47. As a few stations have
already
done, if you worked me and want a QSL, please send me an email with the
date(s)
and time(s) of our contact and I will be glad to send you a card.
You can get some real strange looks from the locals driving by at night,
with an ELK and HT
laying on the hood and a Laptop display glowing in the vehicle in the middle
of nowhere.
"Hey Bertha .... there's a UFO hunter over there."
73 to all,
Rick - WA4NVM

No one QSO was made !
What do you think about to waste 5 watt into a single channel FM instead to
spread it into a 150 KHz bandwidth of a linear transponder ?

That was an interesting article. Are there any archives of previous filings
by AMSAT groups for their space missions as it pertains to ITU at all ? If
not directly to ITU, what organization does AMSAT-NA file with to get
frequency allotment and orbit allocation ?

Hi, Samudra,
AMSAT doesn't have the status to file anything with the ITU as that
job is only for administrations, that is, the part of a national
government with the task of meeting the country's obligations in
telecommunication.
For more information, suggest reading the articles available at:
http://www.iaru.org/satellite
.
Let me know if you've got questions.

What we can do is to live out our lives as best we can with purpose,
and with love, and with joy. We can use each day to show those who
are closest to us how much we care about them, and treat others with
the kindness and respect that we wish for ourselves. We can learn
from our mistakes and grow from our failures. And we can strive at
all costs to make a better world, so that someday, if we are blessed
with the chance to look back on our time here, we know that we spent
it well; that we made a difference; that our fleeting presence had a
lasting impact on the lives of others.

Hi,
The e-mail from I8CVS brings the issue up again.
Why not just be happy to get one more transponder for
us to use ?
If you do not want to use a FM transponder so that be it.
It is interesting to note that there are far more operators on
the FM transponder satellites than on the linear satellites in
Low Earth Orbit.
Anyway the choice is made by the ones who make and finance
the satellites and transponders.
With a height of 500 km FM is probably the way to go.
The dopper shift is large. It may be a bad choice for a
linear transponder unless you assume that everyone are
using full doppler tracking :-)
Sumbandilasat it a very good satellite for operators
working portable or mobile. The downlink is strong and it will be
better to use it once things settle down.
Every time we have a new satellite we have very many wanting to try
it out.
I think we should say thank you to our friends in SA for a new one.

I still to this day fail to see how hard it is to twist a VFO knob.
Have we all become soo much appliance operators that we all have forgot
to know how to turn a VFO knob to keep someone in tune?
All my early days of Oscar operations we were constantly twisting the
large knob. that is what it's for.
wow. un real..

Well said, Ib!
In the US we have an old saying, "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth".
It means do not be critical of others' generosity. It applies here. The
Sumbandila team could have just ignored the amateurs and left no room
for a secondary payload. As I understand it the repeater makes use of
their secondary command and control radio system, which is likely why it
is FM based. Frankly I am embarrassed by the complaining and such that
has been posted on their blog and here on the -bb by a very few
short-sighted amateurs.
There are more university sized satellites being launched every year.
Instead of complaining about this or that, how about building some
hardware and offering it to these projects. Offer to help them with some
problem they have, and perhaps they will help us with our need to get
payloads into orbit.
