Hello Pete and Al >>>
Sorry I wasn't able to get on the satellites this evening. Three out of
four evenings in the current cycle isn't too bad! I spent the last two days
helping a new ham, Ventis, KL2BL, get on the air. We built one good 2M ground
plane out of two broken antennas and wired his used IC-27A up to a surplus
power supply. He checked into the Alaska ARES net this evening and made his
first amateur radio contact.
Based on the latest HO-68 schedule from Alan, BA1DU, and the attached
Alaskan HO-68 pass tables, there aren't any usable Alaskan evening passes that
occur during periods that the satellite will be up and running. However...
Alan's activation schedule is only current through February 7th (local evening
of the 6th), so we will just have to wait for his posting of subsequent
operational schedules to see what works out.
In summary, as soon as you see dates for HO-68 being available on V/U FM
after 0300Z, please look at the attached Alaskan pass tables and call or
e-mail
Dale, KL7XJ and Craig, KL4E, to set up a firm schedule for your Alaskan QSOs.
Good Luck & 73,
Craig, KL4E

Hi Craig I see that you are active in HO68, I will be in our mutual pass
beginning for me at 0343 tonight Thursday night...
Hope to hear you, BP51 is a new one for me GL !!!

Hi Craig,
I heard from N3TL, Tim, on the contacts the past two nights, I would also like
to add AK to my State count, look forward to working you.

My Fellow Radioamateurs,
In the last couple of years our group here at DTU in Denmark have been
working hard to realize the communication system for our next cubesat
satellite DTUsat-2. We have developed a full duplex system which has a
38400bps MSK-modulated downlink as well as CW beacon at 2401.835MHz (220mW
output power), and a 9600bps FSK-modulated uplink at 1268.9MHz.
However, we have just completed the uplink section, but have as of yet no
means of conducting a bit error test of the system. In short we have no
means of actually producing a 9600 bps FSK-modulated signal at 1268.9MHz to
test the uplink system with, and it will probably be another 4-6month
before our GNU software defined radio system to do so is completed. As such,
I would like to ask if anyone in the Amsat community has equipment capable
of producing such a signal, or could come up with an idea as to how we
conduct this test in a quick-n-dirty fashion?
Best Regards
