Very strong signal over -NA this evening, SDR display indicates 20 to 25
db out of the noise. Receive system here is M2 CP30, LHCP, mast mounted
SSB preamp, R7000 and SDR-IQ.

Hi all,
The beacon was heard over India during 16:45 pass. The max elevation
was 54 Deg. The beacon was pretty strong and 5-6 VU stations copied
with no big set up. All the stations copied using "J" and "Slim Jims".
Sure, XW 1 is going to open up a new interest in satellite working and
truly an amazing "New Year Gift" from AMSAT-CHINA. Thank you guys for
that wonderful gift.

AWESOME!
We had an amazing 75 degree pass here...and not only could the CW beacon be
heard quite low on the horizon, but it exhibited very little fade. What's
even more exciting, is that looking ahead, XW-1 promises many TRANS-ATLANTIC
QSOs with Western Europe from the Northeast.
Thank you AMSAT China. Good job!

Could be the SC polar orbiting sat? He was supposed to be launch around
December 24 UTC (23 EDT)? i just remember to have read something on
the Kodiak launch site about a LEO sat but Google still return nothing.
Anyone having more details on this new sat launch will be welcome my google
search does not report anything useful yet.

On the 1550 EDT Dec 15) pass i was able to copy from AOS TO LOS if it was
not the presence of 2 deep fades one of 15 seconds (making signal
going below my noise level) and the other near 30 seconds (making signal
just above the noise level) on a +-3 minutes cycle i cannot see
much difference from the before attitude change but it will have to be
reevaluated when the sat return back to his previous attitude.

All,
I heard the beacon of the XW1 during the 16:32 UTC pass on 15th
Dec.VU2BJZ,VU2WMY and VU2GUR also heard the CW beacon. The signals were good
right from AOS to LOS. The CW telemetry said that the beacon RF output power
was 123 mw and the beacon power supply was as 0.65 volts. I used the
telemetry decode application provided by the XW1 team.
Recording of the telemetry signal can be found at
http://vu3tyg.addr.com/XW1/XW1-Beacon.zip and the screen shot of the
decoding application showing the data at
http://vu3tyg.addr.com/XW1/xw-1data.GIF
Congratulations AMSAT China on the successful launch and all the very best
for the testing and activation of the payloads.

Thank you for reading this.
After a five year rest from the satellites I may soon be in a position to once
again resume one of my favourite hobbies. So, over the past couple of
months I have been updating my tracking programme. In the process I have
discovered that I need to make a design change.
Originally the whole programme used Hertz as the frequency unit until
AO-40 came along and the numbers became too large for the int variables.
It wasn't too difficult, at the time, to change to long variables but I found
the long strings of numbers confusing especially in the configuration file. So
then I experimented with double variables in Kilohertz. Around the same
time AO-40 died and a lifestyle change ended my access to all satellites as
well.
I've rewritten the configuration class and modelled it around Erich
Eichmann's sqf Doppler file which has made selecting satellites with multiple
modes neater. This is where the design decision comes in.
The main class now uses Kilohertz as the frequency unit while the radio
class still uses Hertz. The main class is responsible for the conversion each
way but confusion reigns supreme because some variables are in Hertz and
others in Kilohertz. This is currently causing me a problem where I'm
modifying the code that takes care of calculating a new uplink frequency
when the receiver VFO dial is moved.
It seems to me that the best idea is to rewrite the radio class so that it
accepts double type Kilohertz parameters. This introduces minor frequency
errors of a few Hertz due to rounding errors but I don't think that is a
problem since my FT-847 only has a ten Hertz resolution anyway.
Alternatively, I could convert the double frequencies in the configuration
class to longs and use long variables in all other classes. This will now be a
more difficult and error prone task to undertake.
To answer my own question, I think working in Kilohertz might be the best
option but I'd still like to know how others have handled frequency units.

Phil

Hi Phil,
InstantTune used Hertz and DOUBLE for the configuration
info and the frequency calculations. That way there is
effectively no limits to precision or frequency range.
You get 52 bits for the mantissa in a DOUBLE.
For the actual radio drivers, it used LONG internally for
the frequencies in Hertz. This was done to conserve cpu since
it was meant to run as a DOS TSR on 16 MHz '386 class machines
with no floating point processor.
Given today's PCs, why bother with integers? Hertz and DOUBLE
is simple and there is no cpu issue anymore.
In any case, best of luck with your project,
Tony AA2TX

Dear All,
After a long time away from the satellites, I am pleased to report the
reception of XW-1 over Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Time was 1416 UTC to 1435 UTC and I had a maximum elevation of 68
degrees. Managed to copy the beacon on 435.790 CW +/- with a very
good signal of S9+. Tried to work the FM and Linear transponder, but
unfortunately could not get the downlink.
Is the transponder off during this pass? Time permitting, will try
out again 1.5 hours from now.
Congratulations to the China team for the very successful launch.
73,
Sion Chow Q. C.,
9W2QC, WQ2C.

Hello Sion,
It is nice to hear you are back to the satellites, and heard the new China
XW-1 satellite.
