Jerry,
Yes, I have been there too. So has Clint. Now that I am retired, I
do not have to wait until the weekend...
Don't wish away the time. When it happens, you'll be in our boat too.

Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: Bickering ...
I spent the last two days building and putting up a temporary NVIS
antenna
for 60 meters that I needed for a R.A.C.E.S. exercise that took place
yesterday.
I used insulated wire, hose clamps, two telescoping pool cleaning
poles, 4
random sections of TV antenna mast, some PVC pipe, some wood, hose
clamps,
and cable ties. I whacked the poles into things while moving them,
scraped some doors, smashed a finger, left cut cable ties all over the
yard, twisted the wires, pulled down one end support trying to put up
the
other, lost cable ties, and slightly bent a small bit of my backyard
fence.
If I had been on TV while doing this and I had to undergo the same
scrutiny given the ARISSat launch by some in this crowd, I would no
doubt
be considered to be the clumsiest person on earth with no idea what I
was
doing and no clue how to do it.
But you would not have been there in the 108 degree heat, to
appreciate
the amount of effort necessary to get this done by one person in a
short
period of time, with limited resources.
And the antenna worked well, and accomplished its mission.
So has ARISSat.
If you didn't put it together and you didn't launch it... don't tell
those
who did, how they should have done it. Thank you.
It's good to see those here who are focusing their energy on the
rewards
and celebrating the success, rather than complaining about the
perceived
mishandling (a.k.a. backseat driving).
I watched the launch while we were doing our exercise, and I can't
wait to
get my opportunity to hear and work ARISSat this weekend when I'm not
stuck at work!!!
Until then, jealously enjoying reading your reports.

I agree not matter what you do unless its absolutely perfect and even when
it is someone has something to cry about. I am a small part of the ARISS
operations team and fairly new Area Coordinator. I understanf the
complaints. I also was leary of calling it ARISSat because ARISS really only
gave its name. Locally the failure of Yuris Night did little to promote
ARISS quite the contrary. Remember this started as Suit Sat 2 and was or is
a Russian experiment as was Suit Sat 1. ARISS has been working the STEM of
ham radio long before it was cool.
GO ARISSat !

I would like to send a personal Thank You to AMSAT and the ARISSat-1 Team.
You overcame an enormous amount of challenges in order to make this happen.
I am personally thankful for all of your hard work. From a technical
standpoint, you had to manage a design change (suitsat -> arissat), the new
design, materials, fabrication, assembly and software. From a scheduling
standpoint, you had to deal with volunteer schedules, NASA, the Russian
Federal Space Agency and all sorts of other events. From a logistics
standpoint, you had to move materials all over the planet so that everyone
could do their part.
And keep in mind, the volunteers making this happen mostly have full-time
jobs, families and many other things to do :-)
When I tell non-ham (non-Amsat people) that I know how: """AMSAT built a
satellite 'in a garage', had it delivered to the ISS and it's now in orbit
sending down pictures, yadda, yadda""", you should see the looks on peoples
faces!! I get the goose bumps just thinking about it.
It is truly an amazing feat and an outstanding accomplishment for AMSAT.
As far as the failures are concerned, I will defer to a magnet that I have
on my workbench that says: "Success is going from failure to failure without
a loss of enthusiasm".
Thank you all for your hard work,
Joseph Armbruster

The quoted report is correct. ARISSat-1 was deployed at 1843 UTC.
1507 was the scheduled time, but that did not happen. The cosmonauts
were about to deploy the satellite, but were stopped and did not
deploy until the antenna problem could be evaluated.

As I am thinking about how to use ARISSat in my school this year, I'm
looking at the CSV file that was produced by the ARISSatTLM software. I
am seeing some pretty nice looking data (very cyclic and symmetrical
graphs). Can someone point me to the format of the CSV data...e.g. what are
the column headers? It's probably in a very obvious place, but I have not
found it.
Here is a little excerpt from my data from this morning: Column one is
obvious (date & time stamp); what are the others?

Please can anyone tell me if it is missing a decimal point in the
Charging/Discharging/Netmeasurements in Coulombs
in the telemetryastext window ?
As the battery is rated at 20.5 Ah, this amounts to 73,800 coulombs. The

145.95.Mhz, 0557 UTC, 45 degree pass here in western NC (still using the
Comet quad-band vertical). Lots of fading, but I did catch that voltage was
31.5. I thought that the vertical would do ok at a 45 degree elevation, BUT
I found out differently on the next pass I listened to...
145.95 Mhz, 1400 UTC, 13 degree pass to from NW to SW. (Voltage was 34.0;
had just come out of eclipse a few minutes before.) I was using the Arrow
antenna into the HT, and was listening to the mobile rig with the quad-band
vertical at the same time. I thought the vertical would really shine at such
a low-angle pass, and while it was ok, the Arrow blew it away. I knew there
would be a big difference, but not a HUGE difference. With the Arrow, I
heard the satellite long after I thought it would have faded entirely behind
the mountain(s).
Darn it, now I have to do some research on knife-edge diffraction on 2
meters around mountain tops/ridges <grin>
I think I'll try the CW beacon tonight - won't be until approx 0320 UTC
before the satellite is back in range, and then it's only a 4 degree pass.
(70 degrees on the next one though)

To: Amsat - BBs <amsat-bb@xxxxx.xxx>
Message-ID: <4E3B0970.60401@xxxxxxxx.xxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
I'm interested in people's comments on the reliability of the BPSK-1000
digital link in the presence of the deep periodic fading that everyone
is reporting. This fading is probably because the spacecraft hasn't
settled down into a stable spin around its preferred spin axis (which
includes the antennas). But I designed the BPSK-1000 format to be
specifically resistant to fading, so I'm really curious to see how well
it's working in practice.
Although the decoders don't explicitly distinguish between lost frames
and idle link time (hard to do given the signal design) you can gauge
the effectiveness of the decoding from the amount of data you do
successfully decode per unit time. If people could estimate how many
bytes per minute of decoded data they're getting, and assuming the
computer doesn't let the link idle very much, that would be a good
indication of how well the system is performing overall.
The channel symbol rate is 1000 Hz. After rate 1/2 Viterbi FEC the
actual link data rate is 500 bps. From this you have to subtract idle
inter-frame time and HDLC frame overhead (flags, 4-byte CRCs, etc) that
varies with the length of the frame, leaving the data. So in 1 minute
you could receive up to 3750 bytes of binary user data. How close are
people coming to this figure?

Although Gagarin's flight was undertaken at a time of intense and heated
competition with the United States, it was still a significant
accomplishment and one that the Russians have every right to be proud
of. So I'm not going to begrudge them this.
I am more concerned about the inaccurate reports that say this
spacecraft was built entirely by Russian university students. The
project managers should write a polite note pointing out the facts of
the matter -- that the spacecraft was actually designed and built by US
volunteer radio amateurs under the auspices of AMSAT and NASA and with
significant support from several American corporations. Only the
*science experiment* it is carrying was built by Russian university
students.

Hi,
I heard AO51 while I was scanning so I switched the D710 to PM5 for sat ops.
I worked about 5 guys. I was in rush hour traffic so could not log. If you
made a QSO with NY4I mobile, please reply so I can get you logged. I know I
worked Hector in Cuba last.
Thanks
Tom NY4I

Hi Gang,
I excitedly tuned my base station, connected to a dual band Ventenna on the
roof, to the downlink frequency of 145.950 mHZ this morning as I tracked ISS
on a pass over North America. I'm in Southern New Jersey. I was amazed to
be able to hear the initial greeting female voice from this special bird! On
the following pass I used a portable HT and Arrow Antenna out on the lawn
and copied ARISSat-1 5X9! Thanks to all who made this possible and all who
are helping us enjoy this wonderful hobby!
Sincerely & 73,
Harry ~ W3DNQ
