I am having a problem hearing the downlink of any SSB satellites on 440.
I've been off the Sats for a couple of years, two or so. I just rebuilt my
station PC and reinstalled all the apps, specifically, SatPC32, and ARSWIN
and my controller to my G-5500 and 12 element 2-meter and 17 element 440
beams. I use two SSB pre-amps, one each for 144 and 440, both appear to
work perfectly. When I click the Pre-amp button on the ICOM-910, I hear the
background noise level increase, telling me the pre-amp is operating. The
440 receiver appears to otherwise work ok.
I was able to work VO-52 where 440 was the uplink and was able to get on the
air for one pass of an FM bird, AO-51, where the downlink was 440. I am no
longer able to hear the usual passband noise of the Sat when as it comes
overhead
It is 21:10 UTC and I just finished trying to work FO-29 from CN87 (20:59 to
21:17), and again no luck. I sent my call out on 145.950, but nothing back.
Checked the ARRL satellite tracking site and it appears I have the correct
keps installed. I went outside and checked the bearing of the antenna.
Seems ok.
Anyone have any ideas? I am stumped.

Doing what I try to do every vacation which is try to spend a little time
back on the birds. I've yet to have a QSO on HO-68. I hear the beacon just
fine. But I just finished my 2nd pass from NJ and was unable to hear any
signals let alone myself coming back on any mode. Did I misread the
operating schedule or am I doing something wrong? MacDoppler told me there
was a good pass to this part of the world are around 21:30 my time. Great
beacon strength but nobody else was home.

Great to hear you on from Long Beach this afternoon. I knew you were
going to be on that pass, but forgot that you were operating north of
where you normally are. Hopefully the crowd was impressed with the
stations that were on out here in the western USA.

FO-29 is currently off. Since it was the only current SSB/CW satellite with
a 70cm downlink, we will have to hope that FO-29 can be reactivated in
the near future. Otherwise, there's VO-52 with a 2m downlink and AO-7
with its alternating 2m and 10m downlinks if you're trying to work SSB,
or you can try for the transponder on ARISSat-1 (70cm up/2m down).
If you want to work FM, you have AO-51 as well as AO-27 (afternoon
passes only) and SO-50 that are available - all with 70cm downlinks.

For starters, FO-29 has not been heard in a couple of weeks:
http://oscar.dcarr.org/index.php
That's why you haven't heard it ;)
Seems like the other active 70cm birds are FM...

Ok, thanks gentleman. It didn?t even occur to me to check if FO-29 was
actually working since it's been so rock solid for so many years, didn?t
even consider it wasn't operational... how does that go, duhhhhhhh
Thanks; see you on the other birds... Michael K3MH

Bryan,
Sounds like Patrick, WD9EWK. F he was operating from his home he was in
DM43, Though he does like to work from a park Northern Phoenix that s on the
boundary of DM 33/DM43.

Trying to get my station back on the air, challenging when I am not sure
which bird is working and when.
It is now 22:25UTC, trying to get on AO-51, looks like it is down also, from
the AMSAT status page, has anyone heard it today? I am assuming that its
base downlink frq 435.300 as I've got an old ARRL frequency guide that shows
it as 435.225.
Sorry for all the traffic...

The normal AO-51 downlink *was* 435.300 MHz, but with its limited
capabilities now it uses 435.150 MHz as the downlink. Its uplink is
on 145.880 MHz. I was just on that pass, and it was busy with stations
from Cuba and Mexico up into Canada, and all across the continental
USA from my backyard here in the Phoenix area.

Hi!
I saw this on another mailing list, and haven't seen any mention
of it anywhere else, so here goes.... Members of the "Radio
Experimentadores de Occidente" radio club XE1TD will use the special
Mexican call 4C1JPG during the 2011 Pan-American Games, currently
taking place in Guadalajara. 4C1JPG ("Juegos Panamericanos
Guadalajara", the Spanish translation of the event in that Mexican
city) will be on 160m through 6m, as well as the satelltes through
30 October 2011.
QSL cards will be available, as well as electronic confirmations in
both LOTW and eQSL. More information about 4C1JPG, including the
Mexican address of the 4C1JPG QSL manager, is available at:
http://www.qrz.com/db/4C1JPG
By the way, for those who work that station - or any Mexican
station - and would like to send SASEs instead of including a
US dollar bill or IRC with your QSL request, I have lots of
Mexican postage stamps. Using SASEs works a lot better when
trying to send something to a Mexican ham. Please e-mail me
directly if you would like to get some stamps for QSLing.
Good luck and 73!

Rick, Stephen,
Thank you for the help. Patrick emailed me and confirmed the QSO.
Next time I'll be sure to use the camcorder on my phone like I usually

Subject: [amsat-bb] E1Pu2 & RAX2 downlink conflict?
Message-ID: <4E9B8B2D.9040308@xxxxx.xxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
What frequencies are E1Pu2 and RAX2 using? Both are CubeSats aboard the
NPP launch on October 27th, and both have the same IARU coordination -
437.505MHz, and both are 9k6.
I haven't seen any frequencies from IARU, the mission websites, or this
BB specifically associated with these reflights (RAX1 suffered from
power problems on orbit, and E1P didn't make it to orbit due to the
Taurus failure).
Perhaps this has already been resolved since the mission websites
indicate that E1P is on 437.505 (IARU allocation) but RAX1 used 437.100.
But it is good to make sure!

Hi,
Our best guess as of now seems to be E/C for JNU (more likely E), and B or C
for SRM (likely B).

Hi All,
I do remember that when OSCAR-10, OSCAR-13 and AO40 were
alive and well this net on AMSAT-BB was full of technical messages
from W3IWI now K3IO ,G3RUH, G3WDG, ZL1AOX and many others
from wich it was possible to lern the radio technique particularly in the
field of RF and antennas.
By the way actually with the prolification of Microsats,Nanosats and so on
the above people seems to be not anymore interested on satellite technical
discussions and they abandoned the net.
Can anyone explain to me why ?
Thanks for any answere.
