I notice when AO-7 is out there at 4000km I can notice the delay in cw from
my monitor to the 8000km round trip to and from AO-7.? Kind of shades of
AO-40 (sobsob) when the delay was really noticable, and when we listened to
ourselves (ssb) we had to turn down the rx volume a little as no to sound

If we could somehow harness those slightly faster than the speed of light
neutrinos, discovered at CERN, and apply them to RF use, the delay could be
reduced. ;)

I must try that!
On the "babbling fool" thing, try using DMR radios (Mototrbo, Hytera) with
the 500ms processing delay:
"Radio cheeeee uh one t- uhm uhubbuh..." tail off into incoherence. Of
course since your mike is still open and the receiver is right beside it,
you get this King Tubby delay feedback echo, Lee Scratch Perry thing going on.

Space Weather News for Sept. 26, 2011
http://spaceweather.com
GEOMAGNETIC STORM: A strong geomagnetic storm is in progress following the
impact of a coronal mass ejection (CME) today, Sept. 26th, at approximately
12:15 UT. Analysts at the Goddard Space Weather Lab report a "strong
compression of Earth's magnetosphere" and the possibility that satellites in
geosynchronous orbit have been exposed to solar wind plasma and magnetic
fields. Mid- to high-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras after
nightfall. Observing tip: The hours around local midnight are usually best
for spotting Northern and Southern Lights. Check http://spaceweather.com for
images and updates.
DON'T MISS THE STORM: Would you like a call when geomagnetic storms are in
progress? Storm alerts are available from http://spaceweathertext.com (text)
and http://spaceweatherphone.com (voice).

Does not look like there is much left, I heard someone in DM04 and I think
KI6YAA is in DM22. DM 12 maybe, I think I hear that one too? I will stick to

Hello From Don KA9QJG , Hope Everyone is doing Well I have Heard and Read
and ask a lot of Questions about Hams using the Oscar Sub Band 144.3-144.5
and as You can guess I Got a lot of Opinions From the ARRL, FCC And
others, So I thought the Best thing to go was to actually get the Answers
from You the users.
Yes I know that and as a Responsible Ham I think We all should use the
Guidelines , But in this Case From what I have found the Oscar Sats have
not been on the Air since in Many Years , and NO Other Sats or ISS Is using
the Freqs or set aside for them , So a Lot of Hams in the US are using the
Freqs for FM/ SSB CW DIGTAL And Look the Well Established APRS
And long time and still used 144.34 FM for Conducting ATV And I have seen
on the Internet Some States actually adding the 144.300-144.5 As Simplex FM
The Problem is I have Heard People Jamming and Arguments about this over the
Air , I have even seen on the Internet when doing searches for Info Some
States even include this NON Used 144.300 TO 144.500 For FM Simplex Etc..
Because NO Oscar Sats Exist or Nothing else to Interfere with But I agree
100Percent if there Was the Freqs should NOT Be used for anything other
then what it was intended for
Thanks 73
De Don KA9QJG
PS as You know We have a lot of older Hams kind of set in their ways and the
New ones Are Listening and looking for ways to Fit in, and We need as Many
New Responsible Hams in this Hobby as We can get But How Could We get on
these Freqs Some are using and Say Hey We are not allowed here Because of
the Oscar Sub Band Something that has been Gone for over 20 Yrs

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"
Thanks to the feedback from operators in Europe whom advised me that they
had in fact heard ARISSat-1
on the morning passes on Monday 26th Sept.
It appears that I did not wait long enough for its activation after coming
from eclipse, I followed up the pass
today (Tuesday ) at approx. 0900 hrs GMT. Sure enough it did activate OK
but longer than I had anticipated
and perhaps rather like the situation in the earlier days for Europe after
it was released.
Today ( using tracking ) it came over the horizon - a reasonable clear view
- at approx. 0900hrs and reached its max. elevation of only 14 degrees
for my QTH at approx. 0904hrs.
It had not turned on at this stage and I did not hear the FM transmissions
until 0909 hrs at which time it had
tracked down to an elevation of only 7 degrees.
Not able to work via the SSB link at such a low angle so can't comment
except to say that under better
operating situations during the month, I have heard my own down link quite
strongly and had two confirmed
contacts.
Many thanks and apologies if my earlier report caused confusion.

Simon doesn't do any work on HRD anymore and sold the rights to a group of

continue work on HRD. So the forum might be the best source for answers (if
there are still people
willing to help). It seems that whole thing drove a few people sour.

Bruce,
ARISSat-1 and the ISS are at rather low altitudes, deep in the shielding
magnetosphere. The inclination is only about 52 degrees, so they don't
transit the polar cusps. That is _not_ to say there will be no effects, but
it is in a _relatively_ safe orbit.
73s,
Alan

Dear All,
Previously we have been using the ICOM IC-910H transceiver with
SATPC32ISS for doppler control for our ARISS school contacts. Due to
ISS has both its TX and RX frequencies in the 2M band, we had to use
an extra wire between the IC-910H's ACC jack and the PC's COM port to
inhibit frequency changes while the radio is transmitting.
Based on the "What's New" document of SATPC32ISS
(http://www.dk1tb.de/What's%20New.txt), it is noted that the extra
wire between IC-910H's ACC jack and the PC's COM port is no longer
needed from version 12.8a onwards. However, when we did a simulation
of this, we notice that should the frequency changes (due to doppler
shift) while the radio is in transmit mode, the TX and RX frequency
swaps (TX frequency becomes RX while RX frequency becomes TX) - as
what used to happen during previous version when the ACC wire is not
installed.
I wonder if there are some configurations that we need to check? Or
is there something that we are doing wrong here? The IC-910H is
connected via a G4ZLP ICOM CI-V cable to the PC's build in COM port.
Any pointers or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
