Hi Roger,
The information about a second freq. came from the following document:
http://www.pe0sat.vgnet.nl/downloads/Prospero-Satellite.pdf written by
H.J.H. Sketch.
Have a look at part 3.1
Here a part of that paragraph
"The v.h.f. system is conventional using twin transmitters, each with an
output of 350mW at approximately 136 MHz, and a twin tone digital command
system operating at about 148 MHz which handles the 35 separate commands"
Second graph I placed last night looks like a twin tone, and is received
around 148.010 MHz.
With regards,
Jan - PE0SAT

Hello all,
Just a little question. Is the Prospero downlink active only after
recieved command from ground station or it should be active world wide? I
would like to try recieve any signal but not sure if it will be
transmitting over Cuba and the Caribbean.
Thanks,
Raydel, CM2ESP

Art, there is no conflict in you using Amateur Radio as a hobby. The conflict
is in the exact "meaning" of each of the words in the subject line. The
capitalization of "Is a HOBBY", puts the emphasis on "is" and "hobby", which
for
me says that there is no "other part." I enjoy many hobby parts of Amateur
Radio. But, I also believe that the service part is very important to my
community. I live in Oklahoma where 4 out of 12 months of the year we have
tornadoes as a huge threat, and 2 other months out of the year we have a
chance
for huge ice storms. So, 1/2 of my year is subject to weather events that may
require some form of support for the Amateur Radio community. It's a big deal
for the local Tulsa NWS office, that we have built a large UHF linked repeater
system that covers pretty much all of their responsibility area. They can get
direct reports from the local EOC offices from their local spotters on their
VHF
nets to confirm things they see on radar to be able to get a "Tornado Warning"
out ASAP. Every single extra second saves lives.
Thus, in my state, our club and its members can help by keeping equipment and
agreements in place so that this system can function. When it's not needed
for
storm spotting, it works great for wide area bike ride support. We have about
10 different significant bicycle events with 100 mile rides in this area each
year. Those people are staying in good health and enjoying the out doors. I
like the outdoors too, so going out to help is not a problem for me. I've
just
had family events with my daughters in Marching Band contests for the past 6
years, and that has kept me from being able to support the 3 big events of the
fall (MS-150, Tulsa Tough, Dam Jam) or the others in between. People are
safer
because we drive the routes and provide transport of food, drink and broken
bikes and riders.
Sure, someone else could do it for pay, but why not exchange some services,
for
a T-Shirt that you can wear around the house, and a good time using Amateur
Radio to talk to your friends, to boot.

I received the FM from ARISSAT-1 very strongly on Sunday in the vicinity of
2130Z in the northeast US (FN42). I tried to listen to the transponder and
CW downlink but I did not hear anything. OTOH, I was in the middle of
moving my shack so I did not have things fully setup. So if you are asking
"is ARISSAT still running" the answer is surely yes, and strongly. If you
are asking whether anyone has used the transponder recently, I can't answer
that.

Hi Raidel,
I'm sure Roger will correct me if I'm wrong but my understanding is that the
downlink will only be active within range of the United Kingdom so not
receivable in Cuba. This is being done to avoid causing interference to
other satellites using the band.

Hi Jan,
I read those words as saying:
There are two transmitters onboard which are both capable of operating in
the 136 MHz Band.
The command receiver operates in the 148 MHz Band.
A two audio tone system (I guess much like DTMF ?) is used by the ground
station to send up to 35 different commands.

Hi Jan,
Yes I believe the signals you are hearing (I can also hear them here most of
the time) are from one or more of the Orbcomm satellites. According to web
research they all (?20+) transmit a 125msec long burst of 57.6kb data on
137.560MHz. The signal appears to be approx 50kHz wide on my FCD.
I have also read they they each carry a plain carrier beacon on 400.100MHz
but I have not heard these yet.
good luck

I don't think there is a 148MHz transmitter, though Prospero's uplink is
148.25MHz.
Also, after looking at your page I think I should say that we think that
the Coast BBC transmission was almost certainly an Orbcomm
transmission. The Prospero downlink frequency was reassigned to Orbcomm.
Which sound file are you talking about? There are what claims to be
original audio files here: http://www.dd1us.de/spacesounds%204.html (you
need to find Prospero further down the page).

Mike, I do computer software for a living, and every single character, word
and
symbol is important to the meaning of what I type. I've been using the
internet
since the 80's when I was in college, reading peoples posts, and in fact
understanding a great deal of what people really mean by reading what they
type.
Its not easy to glean exact meanings from what people type. But, the
subject
line, for me, is a big indicator of what is going to be in the post.
Certainly you can be amazed at my attention to details that are not
important to
you. And you can decide what value it is to you for me to do that. But in
the
end, I'm serious about what the amateur radio service really is, and if you
don't think that there is any "service" required, and you can just play about
and have fun and not give back in any way, then go for it. No one can stop
you...
