I have made 2 different successful short duration CW transmissions through
the ARISSat-1/RADIOSCAF-B transponder over the last 2 days. Called CQ with
no replies. My receiver fixed to receive on 145.934.5. Transmissions made
near 435.950 and varied to receive. I received back my signal very weak
but clearly readable. Will be trying again with above freqs on Monday Sept
19, 2011 on passes over Cincinnati, Ohio beginning 13:50Z. Be listening
for anyone trying to connect.

Tim,
Nice find. I would guess that G5400B is the model number. here is a link to
the manual.
http://www.foxdelta.com/products/satellite/G5400_G5600.pdf
You may need another interface to control it automatically from the
computer. I use a SatPC32 as my software and interface it through the LVB
Tracker. It can be run manually through a terminal program by typing in Alt
/ Az commands.

I will return all qsl cards no SASE needed but of course feel free. If you
want any cards/eqsl's send them my way I will not be sending any out. I will
also change the info on Eqsl to match any incoming there.

Hi Trevor;
Yes, at this point, AubieSat-1 is scheduled to launch on 25 October 11 as a
secondary payload with the NASA NPP launch out of Vandenberg AFB, CA. It is
current as of today, 18 September.
I have requested the students to prepare a message to be posted to AMSAT-BB
to advise the particulars of the satellite. I would expect that it would be
posted sometime this week.
The group at the Auburn University Student Space Program (AUSSP) would
certainly appreciate the amateur space community's support to track and
receive telemetry from the satellite.
Watch for a message to be posted later this week with details. AUSSP has
some initial Keplerian element sets furnished by NASA that will be used for
initial orbit predictions.

Gunter's space page currently lists Aubiesat and other CubeSats being lauched
October 25, on a Delta.
Clearly launch dates are always prone to slippage, does anyone know if that
date
is still current ?

Kevin,
Fortunately our portable operations are for leisure and lives aren't
at stake when our communications fail. Last night, I left on a
journey and as usual brought along some satellite gear. My plan for
the week is to activate some grids south and west of Amarillo, TX
while making my business rounds.
Two hours down the road, I stopped to make my first pass. Using my
usual setup, I was completely unable to hear a pass of SO-50 and then
AO-51. Not being able to hear AO-51 spelled trouble since it was a
good pass of 30 degrees elevation. Recognizing a problem was only the
first step. When I arrived at my destination last night, I was able
to deduce the problem to a short patch cord between my downlink
antenna and diplexer.
I carry a minimal set of backup equipment. This allowed me to make
some contacts previously scheduled this morning on the 10:40 UTC pass
of AO-51. I don't have a backup patch cord with me but I will
probably stop in Oklahoma City and source a substitute.
And now for the rest of the story... This is all for fun but a little
preparation and backup gear can make a world of difference when
"Murphy" strikes! I learned something else to add to my backup
supplies for the next trip.

Will be on the 27 and 51 today, will be in DN21 today DN10,11 will be
tomarrow on the way home. I narrowed down 10,11 to 20 ft we'll see how it
looks when we drive back that way, we passed the spot on the way up and
didnt know it, I guess thats just a sliver on I-80, looks easy enough, any
tips welcome, this is all new to me.

Tim, I also have a G5400 I use for my EME antenna. Someone on this great
list alerted me to www.foxdelta.com for a small digital controller with
computer interface like the LV Tracker, only less expensive. I have been
using it for some time with my G5400 with great success.

Subject: [amsat-bb] need resources to set up new az/el rotor
Hi All,
I'm very excited as I just picked up a Yaesu G5400B controller and Kenpro
az/el rotator this morning at an estate sale for $80 total. Took it home,
hooked it up, and it works great. As this is my first time using any kind of
rotator, a couple of questions:
1) What is the best computer interface to get? I intend to use this for
automatic control with HRD or SatPC32
2) I don't think I can post a picture to this listserve, but can
someone who knows their rotators email me so I can send you a pic? I'd like
to find out what model rotator I have. All I see are the numbers 7501-004.
3) Can someone send a link for good instructions on how to set this
thing up in regard to synchronizing the controller and rotator (so the
degrees on the controller match in real life)?
Thanks for the help.
Tim
