Luc,
>>A bit confused here is it ARISSat-1 or Kedr?
Yes. :) Also RadioSkaf-V. They all refer to the same thing.

A bit confused here is it ARISSat-1 or Kedr?
"satellite Kedr was accommodated in the vehicle cargo compartment on January
18"
"Its name is accepted by call sign Kedr of the first cosmonaut of the Earth
- our compatriot Yu.A. Gagarin. Yu.A. Gagarin had this call
sign when he performed his flight onboard manned spacecraft Vostok."
Thank's for any precision!

There has been much discussion about the possibility of doing some on orbit
testing of ARISSat-1 while it is still inside the cabin.
That has been proposed and it is being considered. There is no decision as
of this time. This idea has some hurdles to overcome before it is a done deal.
First we must get the approval of the ISS safety panel. In order to do that
we must show that it will not constitute a safety hazard to the ISS. That
has not been clearly established as of this time. Second it would interfere
with some planned school contacts. That would cause a lot of problems. So it
is premature to declare that this testing will take place. We will continue
to work the process and will let the amateur community and the world know as
soon as possible if it is approved.

I gave up a long time ago trying to make a contact on FM . I heard My
downlink several times , and maybe got one reply . Can't get a word in
edgeways with
the regular bunch on there on every pass . Not worth the effort to Me .

I agree,
With the money spent on all those birds, and launch costs, they by now
could have made at least one nice linear transponder bird.
I'd love to see an old 2 meter up 10 meter down bird again!

Yep I agree FM birds are out of control and something needs to be done to
make it a ham band again. There are some very bad operators on AO51. I try
to make a call and as soon as I let go of the mic some one is calling
another station. There needs to be some changes made . If that means sending
out OO reports then so beit. after all the satellites are still ham bands
and should be governed as such. There is no excuse for the mess that we have
to put up with now on AO51. I one can not hear his signal them stop
transmitting, get a preamp or a full duplex radio .But operate in a proper
manner. It is up to us to govern the ham bands and if that means someone
gets his or her feelings hurt then look at the rules again for being a ham
operator and try to find some rules for the CBer's. Good operating practice
is a must for the birds

Joe,
I was actually wondering the same thing - I was going to post the question
to the group, but you beat me to it. It has been a while since I have been
on SO-67 and I couldn't remember if the audio was that low. I tried a pass
on Sunday evening and thought it may be my antenna so I used a different
antenna last night and noticed the same thing - I was actually indoors with
my Arrow antenna last night, but I was still getting the low audio along
with a burst ever now and then of loud audio.
Michael, K4MOA

Hi All,
I was a pass of SO-67 last night and the audio seems to be sort of muted
or suppressed.
Signals would pop through at times.
Was that just me or did it seem that way to others?
Thanks
Joe
