Hi Drew
Worked KB2M and WB8OTH on 21:30 utc pass
however no downlink signal until it reached about 30 degrees
elevation then sigs picked up to about S7 max which is
2 to 3 S units lower than before.

Pretty good signals on 2.4Ghz in Seattle CN87wk.? Some deep fades, though
could be the bird passing behind several trees (need a bigger dish).? Rx 3
foot primestar/3731aa downconverter.? Next pass will try a Keps dc.

435.150 is back on at 270mw with 9k6 telemetry. V/S is also working now.
I'm still interested in reports on S now vs before the magnet reversal.

Clint,
These Lithium Polymer batteries are incredible punch-per-pound! Be VERY
sure that you are using the right charger for them. They are very finicky
and when they don't get what they want (and are designed for) they have a
tendency to burst into flames.
Just a word to the wise.
73, David

Subject: [amsat-bb] Portable Power for USB Devices
UPDATE 12/13/09: I have run the ZAGG spark portable power pack through
a couple charge cycles. It is impressive. I am working on a deal where
if you purchase one, $10 will be sent to AMSAT. Stay tuned ... I will
be creating a Web page with detailed information. - Clint Bradford,
K6LCS
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Ever wanted more battery life from your iPod / PDA / cell phone or
other device
that charges via USB? Of course we have.
The company name, ZAGG, might not ring a bell with you. But more of
you have
heard of the InvisibleSHIELD line they market - IMHO the best of the
screen
protectors for our PDA and cellphone screens.
Well, ZAGG just introduced what appears to be the best of the
"portable USB
device power packs" available.
Although the ZAGGsparq is marketed as being "able to charge an Apple
iPhone up
to four times," I see it being used for a lot more applications.
Physically, it's 3.5 x 3.5 x 1" in size. Its Lithium Polymer battery
pack is
rated at 6000mAH - that's SIX AMPS in your little pack. Only the
Amstron PP66S
has that capacity ... but the ZAGG offers more features than the
Amstron.
ZAGGspark works with any of your devices that uses a USB cord for
charging.
Plus, it provides TWO USB ports for charging your mobile devices when
plugged
into an AC outlet.
Weighs a tad over a half-pound. Four LEDs indicate the pack's power
level
(25% / 50% / 75% / 100%).
I just ordered one, and will immediately put it to use. It's going to
power my
Verizon MiFi 2200 and Apple 32GB iPod touch. I'll report back how it
performs.

BID: $ANS-349.01
China's 1st ever amateur radio satelite XW-1 is in space now!
AMSAT China reports it was launched at about around 0230 UTC on
December 15, 2009. The beacon was received in Sanya after launch.
XW-1 was a secondary payload aboard the CZ-4C rocket from Taiyuan
Satellite Launch Center into a sun-synchronous orbit about 1200
kilometers high. The primary payload of this launch is the Yaogen-8
Remote Sensing Satellite.
The preliminary keplerian elements for the satellite are:
XW-1
1 99999U 09349.11987269 .00000000 00000-0 00000-0 0 00006

On the 1809 pass from AOS to TCA i start to copy at 12 deg but signal came
much better as soon as the sat pass my latitude Signal became as
strong as before S9 but with deep slow fades. from TCA to LOS i was able to
hear my downlink until 4 deg. West pass are much better here
than the east one where i was not able to get anything with a 10 deg max
elevation.
I made 3 contacts KB2M W7LRD and WC7V and someone was sending a lot of
carrier all along the pass??? there is no need to transmit to be
able to received S band as the transmitter is always on.

I am having a really hard time getting HRD to run with Windows 7 or Vista.
Is there something else out there that will run the 200 and the LVB tracker?
HRD was working real well til the last couple of updated but I'm ready to
try something else.

I have already talked to te engineering department of ZAGG. My unit
warms up to just under 100F degrees. The charger is built in to this
little unit - the AC prongs flip out from the case.
I am impressed with the quality and features. I'l set up a Web page on
it later this week.

For the satellite test, XW-1 will work on FM and Store-forwared transponder
mode between UTC 12:52:34 and 13:14:32 today, and will work on linear
transponder mode between UTC 12:36:31 and 12:58:32 tomorrow. after that we
will upload new flight program to setup payload schedule.
XW-1 telemetry beacon will keep continue to transmitte.

I hope somebody will find usefull the PstRotator program. It can be
downloaded from
www.qsl.net/yo3dmu/index_Page346.htm
PstRotator handles just about every controllable rotator in common use:
Prosistel "D" and "C", RT-20 and RT-21 Green Heron, DCU-1 HyGain, RC1 MDS,
Rotor-EZ Idiom Press, Easy-Rotor-Control, Yaesu Az and Yaesu Az/El GS-232A
and GS-232B, M2 RC2800, AlfaSpid RAK Az and RAS Az/El, Easycomm, ST3 Fox
Delta, Endeavour Electronics AutoTracker, ZL1BPU, EGIS, Create RAC825, EA4TX
Arswin, DL7AOT, LBV Tracker, PrimeSat and VK5DJ.
PstRotator provides automatic tracking for satelites and EME, using for this
WXtrack, WinOrbit, Orbitron, Nova for Windows, Sat_Explorer, SatPC32, WSJT,
Z-Track, GJTracker, EME System, Trak_SM,?or HRD Satellite Tracker. Also it
works with some contest loggers like N1MM, TACLog and Win-Test. Other
programs supported are MixW, DXView and VQLog.
Tracking the moon is easier now using?an internal algorithm.
PstRotator supports multiuser remote control over TCP/IP.

Hi all,
Can confirm Christians report. CW beacon on.
Had to go down on the downlink frequency. To start with
- 600 Hz when using USB.
Had to follow down during the pass until TCA, then up again.
Used an additional - 2.1 kHz at TCA.
Keps may be a little off.
Nominel published frequency 435.790 MHz.
Congratulation to AMSAT-China
