But when the satellite reached an elevation of 30 degrees, I was not able to
enter the uplink channel. I heard some calls from Nikolay, and a couple of
minutes later I heard HB9OAB calling and calling through the wlole pass, but
I was not able to enter the repeater. I suspect that many station were
trying to enter, but the only station heard was HB9OAB with a strong signal.
Do you have any explanation?

I looks like lower sensitivity of the sat receiver or very big troposferic

Hi,
I got this question, and not having a 64 bit OS, don't have a solid answer.
PKWARE is still around, and does have according to their web site a 64 bit
version, though it may not be freeware. Any help I can pass on about
whether there is a way to do this, and particularly whether WISP will run at
all on a 64 bit machine?

Hello,
On the weekend, during one of the XW-1/HO-68 passes schedulle for change
the "beacon/TLM only" to "beacon/TLM + FM repeater" mode, It was clear
the temporarily interruption of TLM data flow for their quickly return
from the beggining of the TLM frame with new status, exactly on the time
combined. So CE3RR was well heard in FM downlink.
My neophyte question is: The satellite was over Chile that time. Do we
need an earth ground station in South America, inside the footprint of
the satellite, to send the operational changing command to the bird for
HO-68 real time answer to the request or only the Chinese controler sent
the command, for satellite store the information and, at appropriated
time, far way from Asian footprint, HO-68 active the ordered?

Hi Matt and all
Thank you for your reply and correction of my 'arrogant' post.
I do not think that was a problem of tropospheric scatter, since HB9OAB was
heard during the whole pass. May be, as OZ1MY has pointed out, there were
100's of station trying to enter and the receiver could not demodulate any
of them. At low elevation, when in the footprint were only Greece, Italy and
Ucraine, QSOs were made easily and with strong signals.
We look forward for the next passes to understand the problem.
Marry Christmas to all and my best wishes for a happy and fruitful new year.

Flavio,
We upload programm command to the satellite when the satellite pass Chinese
airspace, and then the satellite act the order at appropriated time.

I am preachin' to the choir here with this post, I am sure. But since
Southern California was under STORMWATCH again last night (we're expecting
at least 0.03" of precipitation), I decided to build one of those cheap
"tape measure 2M Yagi" antennas from plans seen all over the Web.
I mean, I mention them during my satellite presentations as an affordable
entry into high-gain ... I have a couple links on my Work-Sat Web site for
plans ... I can see in theory where they should work - but I've never built
one myself.
So I stuck the PVC pipes together ... soldered the matching element ...
straightened it all out, and took it outside for a test.
OH MY GAWD.
This is something that EVERY ham should do. What a dramatic increase in a
handheld's performance a couple dollars' worth of stuff can accomplish! I
heard a NOAA WX station (technically, out of range for this 2M Yagi) in San
Diego that I have never heard from the house before. Every repeater of the
six I immediately hit were received more clearly than with even the best of
HT antennas ... and as good or better than my Cushcraft A148-3S (retailing
for sixty bucks).
Sorry - have to stop writing. I am way too old to get this excited about
this hobby ...

It's been a long time since i needed help with Wisp setup.
I am trying to setup wisp to work with the icom 821h.
I am using the Kansas City tracker and tuner. The tracker part works ok..the
tuner does not.
The radio is set at 1200baud and address is 4ch.
The kct/t is set for ttl output on port A.
In the station setup under rotators:
radio is ic821
port is A set for 1200,8,n,1
bands are set...rx 144 430...tx 144 430
I did not calibrate the rotors
clicked ok
exit station setup
using ao-51 9k6 at 435.150 for satellite
click on run this pass...screen comes up tnc blinks 3 times,it's good to
go...antennas track ok.
frequencies do not change on the radio.
read the rr.ini file and radio is in sat mode before wisp is run.
Do you have to run "calibrate rotors" in the station setup/rotators box?
Do you have te edit the rr.ini file?
Any suggestions or help appreciated as always

There in no launch date for either. There are no more inexpensive launches
available from ESA so the AMSATs are trying to get non-amateur funding to
pay for HEO launches. Assume LEO satellites for the next few years as launch
costs are much lower. CAMSAT just launched one, AMSAT-NA plans on launching
two and there are others in the works.

The front cover of the latest AMSAT-DL Journal shows the internally
nearly complete P3e. It is truly an international debacle that this
continues to sit in storage in Marburg when there is a plethora of
launch capacity around the world to put this thing up.
We need a low friend in a high place more than ever in our history.
