You haven't digipeated them *on the way to the igate*...

Hi Mike, N1JEZ
You should remember that you and I and Charles G3WDG we partecipated
to the only one test made on 2.4 GHz up and 24 GHz down i.e. mode S1/K
on AO40 on day 02/23/2003 and I was received on 24 GHz both by you and
by G3WDG.
I still have your CD diskette made by you and sent to me with the record of
my 24 GHz signal received by you in Burlington VT
Unfortunately at that time I was not ready to receive on 24 GHz but I was
only able to transmit on 2.4 GHz with 10 watt at a 4 feet prime focus dish.
Unfortunately for that experiment scheduled by AMSAT and command
station Stacey Mills W4SM only three stations where active i.e G3WDG,
N1JEZ and my self ,i8CVS
G3DWG was equipped to transmit on 2.4 GHz and to receive on 24 GHz
so that only he was able to get back his own signal from the transponder.
You where only able to receive on 24 GHz but not to transmit on 2.4 GHz
so that you where able only to copy G3WDG and i8CVS on 24 GHz
I was able only to transmit on 2.4 GHz but not to receive on 24 GHz so
that at the end of the experiment no two way QSO S1/K was possible
to made between us but most important the experiment demonstrated
that the S1 2.4 GHz receiver on board of AO40 was working and was
alive and well !
Those were really fun days Mike !

Hello group I need advice and direction concerning logging programs and LOTW.
Using WINLOG32 I uploaded 184 QSO's in to LOTW which resulted in 2 matches.
Knowing that some of you have been doing the same and I have had QSO's with
you;
is the fact that Winlog32 does not provide for a "SAT name" location the
reason
for so few matches? There does not seem to be a way to add a "SAT name"
blank to
Winlog32, that I can figure out! Does anyone know a work-around and/or is
there
a logging program that is easier to use and adapt or is there a program that
already has these perameters built in.
Your help will be?greatly appreciated,
Marvin

Hi Andrew,
As Ian noted, the three configuration files are in .predict in your home
directory. The 24 entries in predict.tle are the ones displayed, in that
order. You can truncate that file and display less. Is that what you're
after?
The Multiple screen just shows the set of 24
satellites (2 columns of 12). Many of mine are out of date, but I just
ignore them. When something new gets launched, I replace one of them
with the new entry (using the "E" keyboard edit of TLE), being sure to
get the object number correct. Then the normal Update process takes
over from there.

There MUST be a Sat Name line in the adif in order for LoTW to match.
The log in HRD will do all that. I'm sure there are other programs also. I
do not know about WINLOG

Hi Domenico,
I do not think that this has been the only 24 GHz experiment on AO-40.
You can find audio recordings of the 24 GHz signals of DK1KQ and DB6NT on my
website www.dd1us.de in the sounds from space collection. I will be happy to
add your signals too if you want to provide me a copy of the recording.
Best regards

Hi Andrew,
Take a look here:
http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/tools/softwareArchive.php
Down in the Utility Programs sections, there are some old but still useful
programs which simplify taming Kep distributions. NASAWASH removes
extraneous lines and does some other cleanup. SORTNENG will take a full set
and spit out a reduced set which has only the ones you need. I use them to
feed new Keps to programs like PREDICT via a batch file. They are both DOS
programs, and I have used them up through VISTA with no problem.
