I have this radio to offer from the estate of a dear friend. His wife
is asking our local club to help sell his equipment. Before we list
this on eBay I thought someone here might wont to purchase it. The
radio is in excellent working condition. There is a scratch on the
display but it does not interfere with reading the display. I have two
batteries that both seem to take a charge just fine. One is a PB 39
and the other is a PB 38. They are both included. Also the orginal
wall charger from Kenwood is included. All the manuals are with it
also. I do not have the box. I would expect this radio with included
items is worth $260.00 including shipping to the lower 48 states.
Others please inquire concerning shipping cost.
Anyone interested in this rig please contact me direct. N4QWF@xxxxx.xxx
Thanks << John

Yesterday evening 240110 at 2327z Piraja PS8RF at GI84ow and me EA4CYQ at
IM78bw made a contact in SSB mode through HO68. I think it is the first
SouthAmerica - Europe Contact of 7.477 Km.
After that I worked Canada VE2DWE and several USA stations KB1RVT, K3SZH and
KC9ELU 6.666 Km. far away.
This sat works flawlesly, congratulations to HOPE-1 team.

A while back I posted a note for a friend I was trying to help where SATPC32
would not doppler tune his FT-847. SATPCISS worked fine and he was able to
tune the radio using the UP/DWN buttons on the SATPC32 screen.
We finally have figured it out. His radio is one of the very early FT-847's
which did not allow the VFO to be polled. There was a mod being done by
Vertex, but a call to them came up empty. They have not done a mod since
2000 and they have no parts left.
So, any one know if the mod can be done somehow?

I am copying a very strong carrier on AO-7 as I write this...
435.106MHz , no signs of modulation. Planet Emily latest reports show the
transponder might be off... I didn't listen for myself... have to swap
co-ax, but I was busy trying to figure out if the carrier were definitely
the old girl, or Informator-1/RS-14 which were both directly overhead and
whose dopper-shifts were similar at the time... I confirmed it to be
definitely coming from AO-7.
As I push "send" the carrier is still clear at 3.5 degrees over the north
pole...

It was in mode A, as could hear my CW signal come back to me. Also heard

This came off the russian space agency site
Where I was looking for MAI-75 and never found it .. :)
But did find this:
On Jan. 24, ballistics ops personnel of the Mission Control Center in
Korolev, Moscow region, performed International Space Station reboost
maneuver.
The operation was carried out automatically, and assisted by Zvezda boosters
KD-1 and KD-2, which were switched on at 12:01 Moscow time. The operation
lasted 150 seconds.
The maneuver resulted in additional station acceleration of 2.85mps. ISS
altitude became about 5 km higher.

Greetings to all.
I have 2 satellite prediction programs, NOVA for Windows and of course
SatPC32. Since the two
do not match in prediction, I tried to find out which one is correct. Anyone
wonders about the outcome?
Erich, you can relax, your SatPC32 program is superior! But...... Setup:
IC-706MKII, outside Arrow antenna
mounted on photo tripod at ground level. Computer time adjusted to WWV and
newest Keps loaded via internet. HO-68 orbit 547 was an almost overhead pass
(here in Hawaii). When I finally picked up HO-68's
beacon, the indicated CAT frequency of the SatPC32 program and the MANUALLY
tuned frequency of the
IC-706MKII did not match, and were far off. By observation, the satellite
was lagging the prediction program.
When the the CAT window showed a beacon frequency of 435790 KHz I timed this
with a stop watch, and
waited till the radio dial showed the same. The difference was about 7
minutes! and SatPC32 showed HO-68
almost out of the foot print whilst it should have been overhead at the
closest distance to me. Something
is absolutely wrong. A 7 minute time difference is not acceptable. Next I
loaded HO-68's Online Satellite
Pass Predictions from AMSAT NA. Surprise, the AMSAT predictions accurately
mirror the SatPC32 predictions,
or vice versa. But are wrong! as measured by the actual event. Any help out
there?

I probably would not have heard it then even if I tried... I don't hear well

Is it known to beacon on Mode-A?

Hello,
Given the recent close conjunction between Compass-1 and Sich 1,
I was curious how common such encounters were. Using
SOCRATES on the celestrak site, http://celestrak.com/SOCRATES/,
it looks like they are fairly common.

Peter,
what is your location (locator, longitude, latitude), what are your entries
for HO-68 in Doppler.SQF and what were the predicted AOS and LOS times for
the pass you mean?
You can check that with the Preview function or the list programs WinAOS or
WinListen.
I never heard that the predictions of NOVA and SatPC32 were different,
provided the data are the same for both programs.

df
I upgraded the downlink antenna using a CJU with better results:

Hi all,
The available schedule are night passes except for the Friday 29 @ 13:20
UTC. This is the one I'll try to record due to light conditions.
73s,

Hi AMSATs,
I just read the message about the tube-sats.
I was having a look to their options, but when I understand well in the
structure there is already a radio integrated ?
What is the area that can be used for electronics ?
The weight is max. 250 grams, which is no problem to handle one off my
LE005-R2 linear transponders (weights only 30 grams).
Check it on: www.leijenaarelectronics.nl
When there is enough space in the tube-sat to fit my transponder, this is
very?interresting.
Just fill the existing space with Li-ion batts and there you go...
Anyone already have experience with these tube-sats ?
73, de PE1RAH
