Need a little help with ISS
Was under the impression? that ISS had a beacon, but have not been able to
locate the frequency.?
To use ISS satpc32 I believed it was mentioned that some sort of a hand shake
between the program/radio/computer was necessary.? Can someone provide what
has
to be done.?
Thanks to anyone who can help me.

Jack,
The ISS does not have a dedicated amateur beacon. It operates in a variety
of modes, with the most common being packet and voice with two meter
downlinks on 145.825 and 145.800, respectively. See this link for more
detailed info:
http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/satellites/satInfo.php?satID=19&retURL=/satel
lites/status.php
and this one for relatively current status:
http://www.issfanclub.com
When it is active, it is loud, easily heard on an HT, though of course a
real antenna is better. Due to various operational requirements, it is
often QRT.
As for SATPC32ISS, basically it just requires the same serial link as the
regular program. Are you using an IC-910? In earlier versions you needed a
jumper on the ACC socket, but as of version 12.8a that is no longer
required.

The Lake Superior Grid Expedition cards have been
printed and are in transit. I hope to receive them
in a few days.
With that in mind, I should have some ready before the
AMSAT Symposium. If you worked me on the trip and plan
to attend the Symposium, please drop me an email off line.
I will bring cards to Chicago and give them to you in
person.
There will be 11 different cards for the various locations. A
picture of the Minnesota card is on my website, papays.com/sat
and qrz.com. There were about 350 unique callsigns out of
2069 qso's. This is a good indicator that it's not just a
handful of stations that are operating on the birds. There is
a growing interest in satellites and many of the newer operators
are working towards their Satellite VUCC!
Operating "portable" away from your home grid is both challenging
and rewarding. Once you try it, you'll always think about taking
your gear with you when you have the opportunity to travel. There
is always a need for uncommon grids. Many grids that were once
active can become rare in a short time. Don't be afraid to show
up from any grid. There will always be someone that needs it and
they will appreciate the effort that you make to operate from there.

John K8YSE

John,
I worked you in 4 or 5 grids. It was a great experience since I was on the
birds only a few weeks.
I look forward to getting your cards.

Hi all,
It has been announced that SSTL (Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd ) and
its partners DMCii are to build
and launch 3 satellites at a cost of ?100 million. A UK project of
course.
The satellites are expected to be launched in 2013 and used for imaging the
earth with a resolution of
1 metre.
It is also planned to let other countries whom may not be able to afford to
build or launch satellites. Buy
time for use of the SSTL satellites.
Many congratulations to Sir Martin Sweeting and his teams on yet another
major project for the group.

Hi Ken, GW1FKY
The above 3 satellites are not carriyng an amateur radio transponder and so
they are only commercial and scientific satellite of no interest for the
IARU Amateur Satellite Service.
As far I remember AMSAT-UK and SSTL with Sir Martin Sweeting have never
built and launched an amateur satellite with a communication transponder in
more than 35 years now and for this reason I cannot congratulate with the
above people.

Does anyone have any experience in the reception of HRPT wx satellites.?
Specifically converting many of the? cheap MMDS downconverters to 1.7Ghz.
