Hi group, I will make another trip, will now vacation with my family, I will
try to work on new grids for some,
I can not give more details, I'll be away from home since the 17th and 30th
April, you can work on grids
EK08, EK09 on several occasions, EK18 and EK19 in one or two passes. in a
few days may be better informed.
Do not forget that I can also confirm via LoTW or Direct. Also will try to
work 6 meters from EK08 only.
Hola grupo, voy a realizar un nuevo viaje,ahora ser?n vacaciones con mi
familia, yo tratare de trabajar
nuevos grids para algunos, ahora no puedo dar mas detalles, yo estar? fuera
de casa desde del 17 al 30
de abril, podre trabajar los grids EK08, EK09 en varios pases, EK18 Y EK19
en uno o dos pases.
en unos d?as podre informar mejor. No olvidar que puedo confirmar via LoTW o
Directa tambi?n.
Intentare tambi?n trabajar 6 Mts desde EK08 ?nicamente.

Again, back in "those dayes" we did not have the luxury of computer
simulation and from trial and error the majority of people found that about
30 degrees above the horizontal worked the best. That is why the "olde
tymers" recommend 30 degrees. It worked very well and we made many contacts
using the LEO satellites.

Hi Glen, K9STH
In those days of OSCAR-6 we did not have the luxury of a PC but we used the
OSCARLOCATOR.By the way for best performance on OSCAR-6 ,OSCAR-7
and OSCAR-8 an elevation motor was required and the most popular for
elevation was a KR-500 allowing manual elevation traking and flipping when
necessary.
A 30 degrees elevation for the antennas was seldom used with OSCAR-6 ,7 and
8 resulting in marginal performance.
With the actual LEO satellites like VO-52 , AO-51 and FO-29 the altitude is
much lower and according to Bob Bruniga demonstration a fixed elevation of
15 to 20 degrees seems to be a good compromise but obviously using an
elevation motor is much better.

Right, it's conventional CW, mode A1, with the carrier switching on and off.
A2 would be considerably less power-efficient.
ARISSat-1 also uses the CW beacon as a tuning reference for the BPSK-1000
digital beacon. The BPSK beacon is centered 1 kHz above the CW beacon so
that the CW beacon sits in the lower spectral null of the BPSK signal, i.e.,
in a narrow spot where there's no BPSK signal power.
If you put your receiver in USB mode and tune the CW beacon so it comes out
at an audio frequency of 500 Hz, this will automatically center the BPSK
signal in a conventional SSB filter extending from 300-2700 Hz.

Somewhere I still have an "OSCAR locator". That is why several locals came
up with a computer program to run on a mainframe to calculate the elevation
and compile a set of tables. MUCH easier!

05:00z pass over Northern Calif.
I did hear a frequency drifting carrier around 145.920 that disappeared
about the time the Station set, but the carrier was RISING in frequency,
which is inconsistent with a satellite.

Just finished breaking down the a/v equipment, my wife is loading the
dishwasher, and we are pleasantly
coming down off a great "high."
Many friends celebrated this date with us in our back yard, along with our
Icelandic horse and burro. (The
burro's name is Edward R. Burro. If you are laughing, you are either a
student of journalism, or more than
80 years of age ... (grin).)
No, the ARISSat-1 was not heard on a great pass of the ISS at 9:56PM PDT.
THANK YOU to the folks who called in via Skype! THAT was great for the party
atmosphere! We got our
live video feed shown to the planet, too! We showed the new First Orbit
movie, along with other new and
old videos.
It's been a historic 48 hours. I hope we can get the scheduling together to
perform whatever maintenance
needs to be done to our ARISSat-1, and have it successfully deployed soon.

Kind of looks like ARISSat-1 was a no-show for this event. Now I
have to decide whether to stay up for the April 13, 0808utc pass
(midnight local) or give it up. I wonder when someone is going to
tell us anything about it. So far its rumor and innuendo. Nothing official.

While deciding whether to set the rig to 145.950 or 145.825 I noticed on the
ARISS packet log at http://www.ariss.net that the 145.825 MHz packet
activity has resumed on ISS last pass over South America.

Hi Nitin / Vince.
Although the non appearance of ARISSat-1 has been a little disappointing,
in the overall scheme of things we are still looking at a major AMSAT
achievement here. There is after all a satellite awaiting 'launch' on the ISS.
We know it's a success because so many people have named it and want it to be
identified as belonging to them. We even have some working telemetry
decoding software 3 months ahead of launch. - Yipee.
I'm really not sure what all the confusion over the last few days tells
us. Prepared press releases full of mistakes, a complete lack of preperation
following the long period of testing which left the battery delpleted. No
plan B to charge it during the sleep period - One wonders if the switches
were even returned to the correct positions when it was last turned off.
Despite a turbulent last few days, the main event is yet to come and as
long as the designers have anticipated it being deployed with a completely
flat battery, then we can all sit back and wait for July more prepared from
this rehearsal than we would have been.
Regards
David G0MRF

That's what I was thinking because someone should have heard it by
now. Maybe in two months pass the time since it should launched, even
though it was off there might have been a small drain on the batteries and
now they're in a discharge state.

Hello All,
We are receiving reports that AO-51 appears to be down. Hopefully one
of us can get it going again this afternoon/evening.
Eclipses are still getting longer, and the sun angle is getting worse,
too. It probably has experienced a low battery trip (least we hope
it's that simple...)

Which means that ISS is back to normal operations. The Russians
apparently weren't able to fulfill their planned ARISSat-1 schedule.
I'm looking forward to hearing why they didn't activate.

We had a reasonable pass at 22:59 UTC here at OE6XUG, Austria JN77, and
we heard something similar: Rising carrier, and something that could
have been BPSK. The only recording device was a digital voice recorder,
I hope the compression leaves something for identification or decoding.
