From the Sumbandila team:
Hi All,
We could not upload any Amsat activities in tonight's passes. So the
Amsat payload will not be active for tonight's schedules. The only
upload opportunity is tomorrow morning at 06:22.
Sorry for any inconvenience.

Hey everyone,
I've never heard AO-7 so busy.
I'm sure she has been - "in the old days," back in the 1970s when she was
still new to orbit. But tonight on the pass that reached the W4G Field Day
site about 0026 UTC, I heard more stations on AO-7 than I've heard in the
two years I've been working the satellites - and I stayed in the CW portion
of the passband! If CW was that busy, I suspect the SSB going on above
145.950 was even busier. Some may disagree (because I'm confident I'm not
the only one who heard the "FMing"), but I was happy to hear the Grand Old
Girl get such a workout.
I promised the clubs from Athens, Ga., and Commerce, Ga. - who do a combined
Field Day effort using the 1x1 call W4G - that I'd try to get them the
100-point satellite bonus. In 2009, I worked most of the Saturday and
Sunday-morning FD passes as the W4G satellite station, and we did ok. For a
number of reasons this year, I didn't commit to more than the time necessary
to get them the bonus.
I took a different tack with the station setup this year, too, because I
wanted to show the folks how little gear is necessary to effectively work
the satellites - even the highest-orbiting, oldest one in the amateur fleet.
I used an FT-817ND as the transmit radio, and a Yaesu VR-500 handheld
all-mode receiver as the receive radio. I connected both to my Elk antenna
with a Diamond diplexer. In addition to hand-holding the Elk and manually
tracking AO-7, I tuned for Doppler manually and used a straight key for CW.
There was a lot going on during the pass, for sure.
My goal was to show those folks that effective satellite communications
doesn't require significant expense or so much equipment that portable
operation is problematic at best. If you can connect an all-mode VHF/UHF
receiver and an all-mode QRP rig that also covers VHF/UHF to an Elk or an
Arrow handheld antenna, you only need to add headphones (to avoid feedback
during full-duplex operation) and a key or microphone to work any of the FM
or linear satellites. I dare say that if all the stations I heard on AO-7
tonight had been running no more than 5 watts into their antennas, the FMing
probably wouldn't have been nearly so bad.
Thanks from W4G to W5MSQ, N9AMW and W8DXA for the calls. I had a splitter
cable from the headphone jack on the VR-500 to two sets of headphones, so
several people got to listen to portions of the pass on the second set of
headphones. It was fun seeing the looks on their faces as they heard CW
arriving from orbit!
Best of luck to everyone this Field Day!
73 and God Bless,
Tim - N3TL

Hi Tim!
AO7 was certainly busy on the pass you mentioned, and the
rockin' continued into the following pass around 0225 UTC.
Lots of stations, even for a western pass. I was able to
log 1 QSO on the first pass, plus 5 more on the later
pass. And more QSOs on FO29, along with my quota for
3 FM birds.
Besides the satellites, HF and 6m were fun today. I
ran my usual 1B/1-op/battery station at DM45ag along old
US-66, about 20 miles/32km west of Flagstaff in
northern Arizona. I also made some QSOs on HO68 in Flagstaff,
before I went west to my Field Day spot.
This year, I'll be happy to submit an entry for AMSAT
Field Day along with the ARRL event. Time to
finish dinner, and drive home.
73!

A satellite being built by students of SRM University in Chennai may be
launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) in September
The primary load on the September launch is Cartosat and this launch is also
slated to carry two Amateur Radio satellites STUDSAT and TISat-1. The NDTV
report does not give the name of the satellite the SRM University students
are building but it is believed to refer to SRMSAT. A description of the
SRMSAT ground station indicates it may use the bands 145.8MHz for the
uplink? and 434.5MHz for the downlink.
An SRM University press release describes SRMSAT as a 15 watt satellite
weighing between 10 and 15 kg and measuring one meter cube. The project is
estimated at Rs 2 crore and the construction of the satellite is on within
the university?s premises. ?This project is aimed at increasing the
technical expertise of our staff and students and giving them the rare
opportunity of constructing a satellite first-hand with ISRO scientists
guiding them. We want to prove that our students are worthy of this feat. We
hope to launch a satellite once in every two years, of course, with
different scientific objectives,? says P Satyanarayana, vicechancellor, SRM
University.

The modes change was not scheduled until 0650Z, but due to some
unforeseen circumstances didn't actually happen until 0830Z. I verified
that it was on at 0915Z. It was a low pass, but I hear W3AO calling, but
they did not hear me.

The usual FD Critical Task Detector kicked in, taking out my 2 m side until
this morning. (Two years ago the elevation rotator died.) Got it working,
and worked W8QLY on V/S. Probably my only QSO for this year, due to other
commitments. Heard W5IU and a couple of other stations on with the usual
excellent signals.

That's great to hear it was working. After getting up at 5AM to make
sure the scheduler had worked, and set a value to make sure it kept
working, I was sound asleep during the next pass. If there were two
QSOs, that'd be as many as I heard on the V/U pass I listened to last night.

hi Drew, Alan, Mal, Randy and all,
the bird is working fine today in V/S mode. there were 5 or 6 stations
on the pacific ocean pass at 1410utc. i worked it for the club i spent field
day with on saturday at the berkeley, ca pier, and operated w6cus /rover
today from home to get them the 100 pts. my k5gna hand-held d/c still works
great. thank you to all who replied to help, and a THANK YOU to Drew for
taking the time to make sure it was all set right. i hope all had a great
field day weekend.
