Hi!

I will be giving a presentation for the Mesa Community College
Amateur Radio Club (KM7CC):

http://km7cc.com/

on Saturday, 30 January, at approximately 12.30pm (1930 UTC).  The
meeting will be in the TC50 building on the southeast corner of the
Mesa Community College campus:

http://www.mc.maricopa.edu/campus_map.pdf

which is along Dobson Road between Southern Avenue and the
Superstition (US-60) freeway in Mesa AZ.  The campus, which is
also the site of an annual hamfest every December, is in grid
DM43bj.  Following the presentation, I will have a demonstration
using the AO-27 satellite just after 2.00pm (2100 UTC) outside the
TC50 building.

For the AO-27 demonstration, I will use the club's callsign KM7CC.
After the demonstration, all stations making contacts with KM7CC on
that pass will receive QSL cards for those contacts.  Hope to hear
many of you on that pass.

73!

Old TH77E (full duplex) by Kenwood  could be a good choice.

Hello Andy,

Thanks for the comment.
It is always nice to see an orginal photo to compare what
came down (from ISS) in the SSTV mode.
Sadly I could not get the full image because the ISS was
close to LOS.
I hope some others (in countries more east) have catched
more of that image (or others) and upload it via:
http://www.amsat.org/amsat/ariss/SSTV/submit.php

Some of you have been asking:
 "What does SSTV from the International Space Station sound like".

Here are a few examples of actual recordings from SSTV on ISS.

Here is a link for how to decode SSTV.
http://www.marexmg.org/fileshtml/howtoisssstv.html


SpaceCam1 Logo:

Robot 36 Format (SpaceCam1)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuyEwI9fJGk&feature=related
In this example you will hear the following SpaceCam1 sequences.
First, DTMF Tone (#).  This tone is used to turn on the Vox-Box to make sure
the radio has time to get up to full power, before sending the CW-ID.
The CW-ID is next.  This is the call sign of the ISS RS0ISS
The Last portion is the 36 seconds of Image data.  We chose Robot-36 to be
the default because we are concerned about overheating the TM-D700
transceiver.

Martin-1 format (SpaceCam1)
10/12/2008
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfnOmC0vJDY&feature=related

Soyuz Docked, Robot-36 (Kenwood VCH1)
10/16/2008
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kF9GYoHbKEg&feature=related

If you would like to see more SSTV, then we need your support to get the USB
Vox Box project approved for Flight.  With the USB Vox box, ISS will be able
to send over 300 Robot-36 images to Earth per day.  The crew can choose
either images from their Disk drive or from their live USB camera.

Lets Keeps space fun and affordable.

JARL says: We turned on an analog transponder in 11:22 UTC on January 27.
We want to confirm the battery budget by the decrease of the eclipse rate.

How do we track  body that is not in orbit around the earth.
I guess there must be software.
