Hi Kevin,
I doubt the problem is your keps if you have an up to date set from any of the
sources suggested.
You might want to check the following:
Your PC clock may not have the correct time
There may be something in an initialisation routine that has set a default
time
zone, or an offset from UTC
This can be tricky with some PC's and software. You might have to set your PC
clock to UTC.
Entering your lat/long, East or West of the Grenwich (0) meridian. There is no
convention on this some programs want a plus sign ahead of your longitude
some a
minus.
Those are the things that have caught me out in the past.
BTW - dont expect agreement to the second between different tracking software.
Its only a prediction and not all programs use the exact same algorithms to do
the calcs.
Good Luck

I am looking for someone who will read a small amount documentation and has
lots of experience and a little time to check out a program I have written.
It seems to work but I have a question about it. It looks for possible
satellite passes where communications between two different grid locations
is possible. Back in the day it was a real challenge to work Hawaii - I
remember pouring over mounds of paper trying to find a pass that would work.
It was a real thrill when it actually worked. I thought it would be
interesting to write a little program to automate the process. You are
probably thinking - I have a great csh script that was written by Harold
that would do it. I am not looking for another program I am just trying to
determine if mine is working correctly. The Observer 2 module in SatPC32
served as a starting point.
After I wrote it and was testing it I found that it took a while to find a
pass when you are operating on the limit of coverage or if there are no
valid passes. It is the age old question - when looking for something how do
you know if it does not exist or if you have just not looked long enough. I
decided to try and eliminate the satellites that simply would not work based
on the distance between the two locations. It was fairly straightforward to
use the TLE data to calculate the altitude and from that the central angle
and from that the "width of swath". I found the "width of swath" term in a
reference and think it is the only really cool term in orbit mechanics. I am
not sure my "width of swath" value is correct. I first tried checking it by
looking at the SatPC32 3D display and visually comparing the width of the
range circle to the width of South America - this seemed fairly close. After
the program was working I found that when the distance between the two
locations was less than the "width of swath" a valid pass was found and when
it the distance was greater there were no valid passes so I am fairly sure
it is at least close. The program displays TLE generated altitude, central
angle and "width of swath" for each of the satellites it is using in the
search. If someone could take a peek at these values and let me know if they
think they are correct I would appreciate it. The program does not use these
values it just displays them. At present the program searches every quarter
second over a 1 week time period to find a pass. If I am sure the "width of
swath" value is correct I will eliminate the passes that have no chance and
extend the search time.
The program uses .NET and is very easy to use. Ease of use has always been
an interest of mine so this is about as easy as it gets. There is a help
file accessible from the help menu. Reading it before you try it out would
be a good idea.
You can download the program from here. It is a zip file. Un-Zip the files
it into a folder and run the SimpleSat.exe file. No install is required and
the three files it will create are stored in the same folder as the
SimpleSat.exe program. It does nothing to the registry. It downloads sat
data from the net so use a computer connected to the net when you run the
program. I used Dreamweaver to create this beautiful web page.
http://www.tomdoyle.org/simplesat/simplesat.html
Please respond off the board if you have information on my "width of swath"
question.
tnx & 73 W9KE tom ...

All,
the Arizona Near Space research group will be launching a high altitude
balloon with a ham radio payload on Saturday at 0900 mst (1600ut) from
Maricopa, AZ, about 30 miles south of Phoenix. the balloon will be carrying
a cross band repeater and APRS digi and an SSTV system. Expected burst
altitude is about 90,000+ feet. this should give a foot print of about
450ish miles at max altitude. If it stays in the central AZ area, this would
reach out into SoCal, Western New Mexico, southern Utah & Nevada and
northern Sonora
I'll be trying to work the Cross band repeater and if time allows the APRS
digi.
Detail including frequencies and such are at www.ansr.org.
Kevin KF7MYK, if it get high enough, you should be well in range. This
sounds like something you';d be interested in. Listen for my call.

If Kevin isn't in southern Nevada, he might not be able to hear this one. A
few
years ago, I put together a simple web page that included coverage maps
based on the balloon being over the area south of Phoenix for those balloon
flights. It's at:
http://balloon.wd9ewk.net/
If I'm not terribly busy in the morning, I may give that a listen.
In the past, once those balloons are up a bit, a VX-2R (1W) and a duckie
in Phoenix was more than enough to work the cross-band repeater. Just like
working the FM satellites, except you won't have to deal with Doppler.

Ok I started working the problem tonight. I would first like to thank, Al
Wa4sca, Stan W1le, and Jeff N3qo, for some ideas on what the problem might
be. What I found so far is an open between 4 5 and 6. Any combination of
the three is open. So I'm assuming I burned out the motor windings in the
azimuth rotor to cause an open. I'm also assuming as the rotor is less than
3 years old that it doesn't have a fused link? I went through my parts bin
and found a working Yaesu G-450 rotor. I wonder if the 450 and the 5500
azimuth rotor use the same motor, did anyone try this?

My 5500 has had a 450 motor in it for about 8 years :)
It was cheaper to buy a used rotor than the motor from yaesu parts.

A friend of mine is a schoolteacher who is planning on using Arissat in a

Hello, is it possible that Dove oscar 17 DO-17 is still alive?
Today I've tried to monitor it at 145.825 and I've received 2 packets from
the telemetry.
Unfortunately I had not the packet decoder switched on and I'm not sure.
DO-17 was the first satellite that I've received in 1991!!

Hello Paolo,
I am certain sure that DO-17 hasn't transmitted anything for several
years, and it is extremely unlikely to do so any time in the future.
That's a pretty popular downlink frequency---start capturing those
packets and you'll figure out which bird is sending them.

I also heard packet also on 145.825 today around 0900z - didn't get a
chance to put the decoder on it either, but I thought it was the ISS, as
that is what passed over at the time here. I didn't think to check out
DO17, however there was quite a bit of transmission time.

Hi mike
I don't remember the precise time, but it was 10 minutes before i wrote my
email.
I was deliberately following do-17 with the last tle downloaded for
Orbitron.
I simulates that time on orbitron and verify if another sat was in range.
At the same time IO-26 was over my head, but his beacon is in 435 mhz!!
