Hi All,

I have a friend who is experiencing receiver sensitivity issues when he
tries to transmit into the birds using his IC-V82 and IC-U82 and Arrow II
antenna.  When he transmits on 2m the 440 downlinked is wiped out.  I have
never had this issue before, so I don?t really know the easiest solution to
it when using 2 HTs.  Could someone please pass along some tips on how to
resolve this issue to me, and I will forward them on to him?

Thank you!

This is a perfect example of human ingenuity for the benefit of all.  I'm
glad that they have been so forthcoming about the technical details around
the problem... now future satellites, including Amateur satellites, will
benefit from this experience.
The message? The importance of fault-tolerance cannot be understated!  I
guess it's not a new message, but still a good one.

Hi Ted and all,

I got the LoTW VUCC set up without a problem.  I had already uploaded 545
satellite QSOs over the past couple of years so they were waiting to be
used.  Well, after getting everything in order I have a grand total
of.....21 matches, or 3.85% of my satellite log.  With LoTW VUCC now active
it will hopefully get those with electronic logging to upload their
satellite QSO's, even better, to get those with paper logs to convert to
electronic logging, go back and enter QSO's from the previous couple years,
to take advantage of this service.  After seeing this disappointing results,
I know we, in the Amateur Satellite community, can do better.

Hi Jeff,

I had a similar experience but not the volume you have.
I found that some of my contacts did not have the proper
SAT name that the TQSL program was looking for and
I edited the file and wound up with about 15 more contacts.
Just a thought..

Hello all,

With all the rumblings about excessive, rude and uncivil activity,
especially on AO-51, there are passes from both SSB and FM satellites that
go completely unused.  For the last few nights, I have drug out in the late
evening to attempt to make a few QSO's on SO-50.  On both nights, last
evening was a 05:51 AOS 1-15-2011, I could hear the satellite via an
occasional retransmitted carrier, but there was no one else on.  Tonight in
North Texas I have a great 70 degree pass at 04:38 AOS and would encourage
others to give it a shot, especially if you are newer to the FM birds.


SO-50 is available 24/7 but pass times vary due to the nature of it's orbit.
It can be a bit challenging in different ways compared to other sats.  First
it is relatively low power, 250mw. Second, it does require a PL and I even
forgot that it requires a different PL to activate than to just use so I
will have to try that tonight.  (Perhaps that was the issue for me last
night, I will check my memories).  Also it does seem to me that it does
downlink about 5Kc below published frequencies.  SO-50 does seem to need a
bit more switching of the polarization, (For me and my arrow, that means
quit a bit of spinning), to hear and get in.  Additionally, it is not a bent
pipe, retransmitting noise even if it hears nothing like AO-51 does so
manual aiming is trickey if you do not hear anything coming down.

All in all though SO-50 is a good bird to work and it would be nice to see
some activity on it during the odd hour passes.

I will hopefully see some of you on for the 04:3x Z pass Jan 16.

I did not hear HO68 a few minutes ago when I went out for the 1706z pass ?
can anyone confirm that?  I have had some station issues lately, so maybe

We weren't expecting the transponder, but we didn't hear the beacon either.

Tom,

I agree with you completely. I too enjoy working SO-50 on the odd hour
passes. (Was out with the family last night so was on the air). I too notice
the bird is very sensitive to polarization. I have a separate memory
programmed in for the on tone. On the late passes I'll key that shortly
after the bird comes over the hill and then check to see if I can hear
myself on the downlink.

As you said, it's a fine bird and a great alternative to the pileup on
AO-51.

I also enjoy the late passes on SO-67 when it on over NA.

I'll try to be on tonight's pass. Look's like we have a mutual window from
0440UT to 0448UT

All,



Those who want to use their FUNcube Dongle to track satellites may like to
try my tool SATCONTROL_FCD (first beta release).

You can download a zip file here:
http://www.dk3wn.info/files/SatControl_FCD.zip



The sat.ini can be configured as needed (own locator, path to your TLE file
/ Doppler.sql (SatPC32). The front end FCHid.exe needs to be running first.

If you enable the checkbox in the frequency frame SATCONTROL_FCD will write
the calculated frequency directly into the FCD controller software.

No, I was listening to the repeater.  I misunderstood Alan's email
yesterday.  I thought the repeater was back on.

Jeff, 9 out of 189 here....I'm sure our numbers will go up as people upload
their logs properly

Hi Ted and all,

I got the LoTW VUCC set up without a problem.  I had already uploaded 545
satellite QSOs over the past couple of years so they were waiting to be
used.  Well, after getting everything in order I have a grand total
of.....21 matches, or 3.85% of my satellite log.  With LoTW VUCC now active
it will hopefully get those with electronic logging to upload their
satellite QSO's, even better, to get those with paper logs to convert to
electronic logging, go back and enter QSO's from the previous couple years,
to take advantage of this service.  After seeing this disappointing results,

I know we, in the Amateur Satellite community, can do better.


73,
