Hi Trevor,
And thanks to Domenico, Sil, and the others who were concerned enough to
post about"Edusat".
A little background: I hardly ever "use" the amateur sats nowadays, time
is short and work is long! However whenever a new sat goes up I at least
try to get the telemetry from it, usually with some sort of semi
automated system, or by real tune and capture when I'm in the shack.
OK, its probably not what most on the list would call "operation", but
it keeps the grey cells ticking over.
Any way, the list came up with "edusat" being launched, in orbit, and
transmitting. Great I thought, something new to track and decode.
Well as you would do, I tried to find the Keps. Ok got them, bit
difficult but found them. Looked for the downlink freq's.......yeah right!
Looked for the data format yeah right!
Looked for the website.......still looking!
posted to this forum, got a couple of replies from the "owner" that lead
me to the FCC website where I discovered that "edusat" is in actuality a
commercial enterprise that has some how got both 2 metre and 70 cm
freq's allocated by someone....who and how?
It is not an "amateur satellite service" satellite in the generally
accepted sense, neither does it comply with the IARU definition of an
amateur satellite service sat.
So WHY is it being snake oiled as an "Amsat", using (in particular) 2
metre freqs ? I fully understand the need to protect a command system
uplink freq, which is usually done with encryption of the commands
rather than obfuscation of the freq used.....at least that's the
standard technique for our terrestrial systems.
I could go on and on, but my head is already bloodied by beating against
a brick wall, Maybe, just maybe someone on the list could set something
rolling to to stop this sort of rort of amateur freqs happening again.
Up to the list,Its our valuable spectrum "they" are carefully and
cunningly hijacking.
That was the reason for my original post, to try and point out the
erosion of our freq's by folk who are far from friendly to ham radio.
Don,
ZL1THO

Thanks Roberto, very glad to hear it's on 144 MHz
http://n8noe.ham-radio-op.net/WebInterface/ARCLUSTER/ArcSysopManual/ArcConnect
NodeIPs.htm
has it listed on 145.975 MHz - must be out-of-date information or a typo.
Are you aware of any AX.25 Packet Nodes in Italy still operating in
145.8-146 MHz ?

All,
The requests are being answered systematically. The requests by those
not in North America are being addressed by another group of
volunteers because of the quantity. Be patient.
Please send your reports to the proper engineering team-- We just
give out certificates so please do not duplicate. Enjoy the bird
while it lasts and don't forget to donate at the AMSAT website for
future funding of satellites...and your enjoyment.

I am looking to flesh out some grids, and Michael (EI3GYB) and I are running
out of things to talk about.
With my handheld set-up I can work reliably down to 3 deg, which brings
Europe west of
central Germany, the UK, and western Scandinavia into the circle during the
dinner-time-Europe passes.
I usually hear KB1RVT on the passes as well (and his QRZ entry has a grid
map that will give you a
good idea of what is possible), so you could check off two grids. So far,
Amsterdam is the farthest
east I have worked. AO-27 kicks into data too early to be usable.
I am located in FN42IO during these passes; please feel free to drop me an
email to set-up a sched
while AO-51 is still kicking (and actually, has sounded much stronger this
past week).
("my call" at Hotmail)
Are there AMSAT-UK or AMSAT-DE reflectors I should post to?

MEDIA ADVISORY: M11-182
UPDATE: NASA REVISES TIME FOR SPACE STATION CREW NEWS CONFERENCE
HOUSTON -- NASA has revised the time for a news conference on Tuesday,
Sept. 6, with the two agency astronauts aboard the International
Space Station. The briefing, broadcast live on NASA Television, will
begin at 9:30 a.m. CDT.
Reporters may ask questions in person from NASA's Johnson Space Center
in Houston, Kennedy Space Center in Florida and the agency's
headquarters in Washington. The phone bridge at Johnson will be
available for reporters to participate by calling the newsroom at
281-483-5111 by 9:15 a.m.
NASA astronauts Ron Garan and Mike Fossum are members of Expedition 28
aboard the space station. The crew members will be available to
discuss the status of the station and their ongoing expedition
research.
Because of the Aug. 24 failure of the Russian Progress 44 launch,
Garan will return to Earth on Sept. 15 (Sept. 16 in Kazakhstan). He
originally was scheduled to land on Sept. 8. Fossum will remain in
space until mid November.
