As can be seen in this HD Video it only takes a FUNcubeDongle
plus a 12 elements beam to hear & decode Nanosail-D2 !
Adding the control software of Mike & Mike, plus WRplus and MixW
you have a ground station that can support small satellite missions.

Shouldn't is show as a Satellite contact under the propagation Mode?
I don't think it is band specific is it for VUCC.

I did close to a year ago and they said they knew about the problem, but
were busy with VUCC and web re-design. It is probably a good time to remind
them :-)

Has anybody contacted ARRL HQ to let them know SO-67 is out of the loop?
I'm certain they can investigate and correct this. If not, then a suitable
explanation would be required.

OK Henk, you sold me the idea.
I see there is a pass at 1650 and 1850 ish this evening in Europe. I'll
give it a try and perhaps get that rare QSL from NASA.

The QSL pops up online when you enter the data on the Nanosail dashboard.
Mine was just a generic with no call or data on it.

Hi to the list,
Sorry for the OT question.
Please anybody can suggest me a good and not to much expensive
Antenna for the 1.2 Ghz to use with the satellites?
Actually I am using a Tonna 23 elements but with poor results,
I want to thanks in advance for any help.

Greetings and happy new year everyone,
We've randomly selected the next group of prize winners from those that
have donated via the Paypal widget. For every $250 dollars raised we
randomly pick a donor to receive a prize from the AMSAT prize closet.
Thank you to all that have donated to pay for the construction of
ARISSat-1 and the beginning of the AMSAT-Fox project. ARISSat-1 is
featured in this month's QST, and AMSAT-Fox is described by the VP
Engineering in the current issue of the AMSAT Journal.
Our winners are:
$1750-$2000 Robert Benton W7VB
$2000-$2250 Kevin Schuchmann WA6FWF
$2250-$2500 Nigel Gunn W8IFF
I've BCC'ed the winners on this email. Please contact Martha at
martha@xxxxx.xxx or call 1 888 322 6728 and she will tell you what
prizes are available and get them on the way to you.
Thanks for all the donations, and especially to those who have posted
the widget to their own pages. If you have an amateur radio website or
blog, you too can help AMSAT raise the money required to pay for
construction of these two satellites. by adding the widget code to your
site. You can even add it to your QRZ.com entry. Contact me at
KO4MA@xxxxx.xxx for details. See the widget at www.amsat.org.
