As an HF operator may I suggest you have a base frequency of 7.020 or higher
rather than 7010. The lower parts of the bands can get quite congested at
times
so this would give ground stations a better chance of hearing them. Certainly
7.020 is often occupied.

I just read the LOTW FAQ and it stated that the satellite name HO-68 is
supported by LOTW.
I have never been able to upload any logs containing HO-68 as the sat name.
TQSL 1.13 does not have HO-68 in the satellite drop-down menu box.

Is there something I'm missing?

hi All,

A simple question this time!

What is the best coax cable to use in a cubesat? Size, flexibility/min
radius, existing space heritage, ease of applying connectors are our main
design drivers - we are only using UHF and VHF so losses are not going to be
too much of a problem hopefully..

many thanks in advance

Hi All,

This morning AO-51 was down on the early AM pass.  I reset it, and decreased
power out.  One orbit later, it is apparently down again (another battery
trip).  There just isn't much left in the battery.

It will this afternoon before one of us (command stations) can turn it back
on.

It is likely that we'll be going to PL tone activation soon.  Please check
your radio memories and PL tones; it'll be 67 Hz once we activate it.

We'll provide updates here on the BB.

73,

Can we please have the location of the launch? I know it has a 2 land
call sign,  but now days that's meaningless.

Plus the date and time.  How about in UTC time for both? This
announcement says,

The current target for executing launch of PBH-15 is between 11:00PM --
12:00AM on Thursday (4/21)/Friday (4/22), weather and approval permitting.

But especially the midnight thing and then EDT CDTGMT, since there is no
indication of launch site,  11:00 PM  Where?  Lets keep everything in
Amateur Radio on one time zone please? UTC.  aka: GMT.

I have TQSL 1.13 and it supports HO68 and SO67.... It is supposedly the

Hi Joe,

I think you overlooked the paragraph - it is #3 in the original email.

>It also has an APRS GPS tracker on 144.39

>*Oswego, NY* around midnight Thursday.

Being that NY is EST, it would be scheduled to launch sometime between
22/0300z and 23/0400z.

I think that is right...

Can we please have the location of the launch? I know it has a 2 land
call sign,  but now days that's meaningless.

Thanks to all who provided the info I needed. My biggest problem was not
using a PROP_MODE field.

Now back to correcting the problem. And saving my private key where I can
actually find it next time.

Hi Chuck!

supported by LOTW.

Probably an updated TQSL configuration file.

You can get that by logging into the LOTW web site, then go to "Your Account",
then "Your Certificates".  There is a link where you can download the latest
TQSL configuration file (last updated on 3 March) along with your certificates
from the web site.  The configuration file has - among many other things - the
list of satellites acceptable for LOTW, and log formats for those
using Cabrillo-
formatted contest logs instead of ADIF files for LOTW.

Once you download the updated configuration file to your computer, you should
only have to click on the file to launch TQSL and update your program.  After
that, you should be in good shape.

73!
