Hi Everyone,
Just a reminder (and before the flood of ARISSat emails in the list
tomorrow!), this weekend I'll be heading out to the California Lost
Coast to work the satellites from that rare grid CM79. CM79 has no
roads, no power, no houses, nothing but lots and lots of ocean and a
small triangle of mountainous forest. Plans are to operate right from
the northeast tip of CM79 so if all goes well I'll be providing four
grids at once: CM79, CM89, CN70, and CN80.
Weather looks reasonable (cloudy mornings, sunny afternoons) for
portable solar-powered operation. I'll operate on Sunday August 7th
and Monday August 8th, and I've posted a list of potential passes on
my blog. Operation will be during local daylight only, due to the
remoteness of the area I don't want to be hiking down off that
mountain after dark!
I'll aim to work all available satellites -- AO-51 (if it keeps going
strong like it has been), SO-50, and AO-27 for FM. VO-52, FO-29, and
AO-07 (primarily mode B) for SSB. If ARISSat is up and running I'll
try to get on that too, depending on congestion and satellite
performance.
I'll have my SPOT Locator beacon with me, so my exact location should
be available from the link on my QRZ web page. If the current beacon
position shows that I'm right at the intersection of -124 and 40
degrees, likely I'll be available on the sats as they go by.

Indeed!
I'll be sure to ask! I've just been in touch with ARRL HQ regarding
VUCC rules. We all want to be absolutely sure that the configuration
of the operation position (4 grids at once!) complies with the
requirements. I'll be sure to ask them about the QSL cards while
I'm at it!

Hi!
I'm portable in el89. Went out to catch ao-51 this afternoon and found that
Delta Airlines had broken my receiver. (yaesu vr-500) Really wanted to do
grid squares on this trip.
Boo hoo. Really don't want to make a trip to AES!
Thanks,

Perfectly fine with documentation, and a card checker who knows VUCC, not
just DXCC. I have a 4 grid card from KK5YY that's been checked.

Hi all.
I see the first couple of orbits in range of the UK are in eclipse or
passing from eclipse to sunlight.
Is the satellite always in its 'low power mode' in eclipse?
Also, when the satellite passes into sunlight, is the transistion to 'normal
mode' instant or is there a short delay?
This could be very interesting as we can see the ISS going into sunlight
and we should be able to hear when Arissat does the same and then measure
the time difference (Arissat first ISS second hopefully)
Thanks

Hi Ted!

It should not be a tough sell to the card checker. They are to examine
the card, and the checker can disallow the card if it has been altered.
ARRL can call into question the card and what grids are being shown
on it when they receive the application, and it is ARRL - *not* the VUCC
card checker - that can request the station that issued the card provide
the documentation as outlined in the VUCC rules (photos of the GPS
receiver's display and the GPS receiver with the station, or a video clip).
I've had many exchanges with the ARRL on this, especially when the
VUCC rules were updated a couple of years ago, to make sure my
grid-boundary operating would be acceptable under the new rules.
When ARRL updated the VUCC rules a couple of years ago, they
clearly laid out what they will consider satisfactory documentation of a
station on a grid boundary or intersection - at least two photos showing
a GPS receiver (one close-up of the receiver's display, the other of the
receiver in the station setup), or a video clip that shows the close-up of
the GPS display with a wider view showing the receiver in the station.
Previously, the VUCC rules mentioned that stations needed to be able
to document their location, but did not go into detail on what would be
considered satisfactory documentation. The advent of the Fred Fish
Memorial Award, a VUCC-like award for 6m operators confirming QSOs
with all 488 grids in the continental USA, brought about the VUCC rule
update regarding grid boundaries and documentation.
Sometimes the card checkers confuse VHF/UHF contesting with the
VUCC award. Where the VUCC award rules clearly define how to
place your station on a grid boundary or intersection, most VHF/UHF
contests only deal with exchanges of a single grid locator - even if
you are in 2 or 4 grids simultaneously. Reminding the card checker
that the VUCC rules explain how stations are to be placed on these
locations and how to document them can get past this potential issue.
Another way stations who operate from these grid boundaries and
intersections help ease the minds of the card checkers is to include
a picture of the GPS receiver display (or of the whole GPS receiver)
showing the readout at that boundary or intersection. You've seen
the GPS receiver's displays on my cards, and I know others do this
as well. It is *not* mandatory for stations to put the GPS display on
the QSL cards under VUCC rules, nor is it mandatory for stations
to even show the latitude/longitude for a location on the QSL cards,
but it is helpful when the cards are being checked.
Looking forward to hearing Dave on from that intersection in a few
days....
73!

AMSAT NEWS SERVICE SPECIAL BULLETIN
ANS-215
In this Special Bulletin:
* ARISSat-1/KEDR Deployment on August 3
ARISSat-1/KEDR is now ready for deployment from the International
Space Station during EVA 29 on August 3.
NASA TV will cover the EVA live starting at 1400 GMT on August 3.
1430: Hatch Open
1446: Egress ARISSat-1/KEDR and secure to airlock ladder
1452: Remove solar panel covers
1507: Translate to deploy site, activate PWR, TIMER1 and TIMER2
switches, verify LEDs on, and deploy
(Internet streaming: http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html)
Read the NASA Press Release about EVA-29 and ARISSat-1/KEDR at:
http://tinyurl.com/3hdn5k4 (nasa.gov)
NASA describes the activities for EVA-29, of which our satellite will
be the first task, "The duo's [Cosmonaut/Flight Engineers Sergei Volkov
and Alexander Samokutyaev] first task will be to deploy a boxy, 57
pound satellite, called alternately ARISSat-1 and Radioskaf-V, which
is the prototype test flight of a proposed series of educational
satellites being developed in a partnership with the Radio Amateur
Satellite Corp. (AMSAT), the NASA Office of Education ISS National
Lab Project, the Amateur Radio on ISS (ARISS) working group and
RSC-Energia."
ARISSat-1/KEDR Project Manager, Gould Smith, WA4SXM said, "The satel-
lite is scheduled to be deployed from the ISS during EVA-29 on Wednes-
day August 3 around 1507Z. There is a 15 minute delay after the safety
switches are all thrown before the transmitter turns on. First signals
should be transmitted shortly after 1520Z."
The ARISSat-1/KEDR team is looking for stations to make early reception
reports (1520Z-1800Z) after the ARISSat-1/KEDR release. It looks like
southern South America, very southern South Africa, followed by south-
east Asia should be the first areas to receive the signals.
Please send your reception reports to the amsat-bb@xxxxx.xxx. Title
your email - ARISSat-1 reception report.
Alaska and the western US should get a good pass around 1620Z. The
eastern US will have to wait until around 0416Z on the 4th to hear
the satellite.
ARISSat-1/KEDR RECEPTION REPORT CERTIFICATES
--------------------------------------------
When you receive the downlink signal from ARISSat-1/KEDR you are
invited to send your report to the following e-mail boxes. You will
receive a PDF certificate by e-mail.
Students and school groups are especially welcome! We look forward
to your report!
Your report must contain the following information:
1) The signal you received:
a) the secret word*,
b) an SSTV image, or,
c) telemetry data
2) Your name or group name
3) The date/time of reception
4) Your e-mail address of where to send your certificate. You will
receive a PDF certificate via email.
Here are the e-mail boxes to send your reports:
Secret word* contest to: secretword@xxxxxxxx.xxx
SSTV image to: sstvreport@xxxxxxxx.xxx
Telemetry data to: tlmreport@xxxxxxxx.xxx
(either digital or voice report of the data you received)
Received BPSK telemetry and .CSV files should continue to be
sent to: telemetry@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx.
* Those who do hear the secret word or call sign please do not put
it out to the world. That would ruin the contest for those still
waiting for their station to be in range.
You can find the details of the ARISSat-1/KEDR radio frequencies,
links to telemetry decoding software and mission details on-line at:
+ http://www.amsat.org

Hi,
I don't think that it is quite correct to say you could record in
"any" format. Straight out old fashioned analogue (for example tape) or
any other loss less recording system would work OK.
For PC recording you need a system that does not compress the data
stream to reduce file size (eg .wav ). You are unlikely to have much
success with systems that throw away much of your data in order to
reduce file size (eg .mp3).
The down side of loss less recording systems is the huge file sizes that
are quickly generated,as you can see by recording a favourite song with
..wav and then with .mp3... something has to give to reduce file size.
Most of the sstv programs have the facility to record of air and then
save the resulting decoded file in a much reduced "digital" format. (I
know... this is a gross simplification and I apologise in advance to the
experts!).
My choice in a more esoteric professional field is to record our data
using .wav files using laptops and large portable hard drives, mainly
because it's a rare pc that can't handle .wav files!
Just my 2 cents worth.
Cheers,
Don

DAER AMSAT members.
Is there anyone who has information about pointing accuracy test procedure
of parabolic antenna controllers?
Could you please send me some links or book names or papers those describe
the procedure of testing pointing accuracy of for e.g. 2 or 3 m antenna
controllers.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
Best Regards.
N.Mahdinejad
