What is the other satellite I am hearing on XW-1's freq?
A buzzing downlink.
Both IO-26 and PO-28 are in view.
Are they still emitting?

If my numbers are correct, this bird is certainly much higher than AO-27 and
AO-51. At an orbit 800 miles above earth, this will stretch the footprint a
bit further east for those needing KH6 on the birds. Let's hope for more
activity from KH6!

Hi,
With the help of www.ham.vgnet.nl/downloads/XW-1_Telemetry_Format.pdf
I decoded the beacon information I received.
The output power is fluctuating, is there any idea why this is happening?
And an other thing, don't we miss a lot of information within the
telemetry? channels 6 to 13 have a value 000?
Maybe my decoding isn't correct and other amateurs have other information.

I want to manually add XW-1 Keps to my nasa.all file for SatPC32.
The SatPC32 Satellites menu says the file should be in C:\Documents and
Settings\Wayne Estes\Application Data\SatPC32\Kepler
But the "Application Data" directory doesn't exist. I searched the
entire C: drive for "nasa.all", and the file wasn't found.
Where the heck does SatPC32 12.8a put the Keps file in WinXP?

Hi Wayne,
The folder is hidden, as I recall.? It's here on my WinXP Pro system
using SatPC32 12.8a:
C:\Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\SatPC32\Kepler
You may have to adjust your folder options to show all folders, etc.
under "Tools/Folder Options/View/Show hidden Files and Folders"
Hope that helps!

Hi,
Add the following http://www.celestrak.com/NORAD/elements/tle-new.txt to
your keppler data and select object 2009-072A. When XW-1 is added to the
nasa.all file by the keppler maintainers XW-1 will appear in the list and
the 2009-072A object will disappear.

Wayne replies:
That it! "Show hidden files" defaulted to "off" when I recovered from a
hard disk crash a couple months ago. Apparently it also prevents the

Hello All,
I have heard XW1 sat. with a fine signal.
I've used the folowing kepler data which Mineo Wakita earlier posted
in amsat-bb (please read the comment below!).
1 36121U 09072A 09349.15640464 -.00000045 00000-0 00000+0 0 19

Keep in mind these keppler data are not accurate because I've heard
XW1 3 minutes longer compared to keppler XW1 LOS on my tracker screen!
Last signal (on my radio) heard at 22:24UTC in locator JO23XE.
Used equipment:
Transceiver: Yaesu FT897 with standard ceramic CW filter and 300Hz inrad
filter.
Antenna: M2 436CP30 (45 deg. fixed elevation, I can not move up or down!).
An audio recording is to listen here:
http://iss.ontwikkel.nl/15Dec2009_XW1a_low.mp3
An amateur radio operator in Holland (Jan PD?SDO) also could hear the XW1 on
an little GP antenna (about 60cm length).
Congratulations to all who have worked on the XW1 sat!

Hi All,
To day December 15 signals from the satellite XW-1 CW beacon during
Rev 9 changing into Rev 10 over Europe were very strong and clear with
only a beacon power of 65 mW into a satellite TX antenna RHCP with gain
of 3.0 dBic
The satellite from AOS at 20:12 UTC and LOS at 20:34 UTC was into
the eclipse (ECL) all the time.
My receiving condition was a 12 dBic RHCP 10 turns Helix antenna
with a low noise preamplifier antenna mounted NF=0.45 dB and Gain
G = 20 dB
I was using a 434-436 / 28-30 MHz downconverter in the shack connected
to a HF Drake receiver R4-C tuned to the 10 meters IF interposing in
between a 20 dB attenuator with 1 dB steps
The XW-1 beacon was very constant in signal strenght fading very slowly
changing between 20 dB to 15 dB over the noise floor in about 30 seconds
as measured with the 1 dB step attenuator connected into the 28-30 MHz IF
of my receiving system.
The same was experienced during the following Rev 10 changing into Rev 11
over Europe with AOS at 22:06 UTC and LOS at 22:18 UTC with the satellite
in Eclipse (ECL) all the time.
During the above orbit the Elevation from my QTH in JN70ES was only 8
degrees maximum over the free horizon with no obstructions in direction of
the see.
The following keplerian elements as given by Nigel G8IFF for object A are
extremely correct because I losted the signal over the free horizon just at
elevation of - 0.2 degrees as computed by InstantTrack
XW-1
1 36121U 09072A 09349.53641119 -.00000045 00000-0 00000+0 0 31
2 36121 100.5050 046.6267 0007989 035.4736 324.6735 13.16391085 50
That's all for now
I hope that very soon the linear transponder will be open for general use
and stay in SSB/CW as long as possible for the benefit of many users at the
same time.

Are We Having Fun!!!
Copied 23:56 pass of XW-1, 20 degrees, FN30, NY. This baby has healthy
Lungs!!! Started to copy CW at .3 degrees, solid tone, thank you Nigel the
Keps are spot on.
We all know this is a high LEO Satellite, this pass covered Iceland,
Northern Ireland, Sweden and the tip of Russia, can you say more awards,
grids and most important building relationships deeper into Europe, it isn't
A0-40 or a HEO but it will be thrilling to work.
Thank you to the XW-1 team that developed this latest Satellite to the
fleet....

This is really exciting, Michael! We're delighted that the FM
transponder is working. With such a big footprint it will be a
remarkable experience for newcomers and oldtimers alike.
For my part, my QTH in Maritime (Eastern) Canada will have a 3 deg.
elevation view to the XW-1 at the same time that Moscow, Russia has a
3 deg. elevation view. Imagine that FM to FM!
