Besides the occasional MDS dishes, is there a source now of larger
commercial 2.4 GHz wire or mesh dishes?
We want to outfit a van with a 4' dish for Balloon Tracking live downlink
video and not have it blow off the roof at 70 MPH.
I'm considering changing over many of our student projects to high altitude
"cubesats" that can be completed in one semester and actually LAUNCHED (by
balloons), as opposed to the occasional once every 3 or 4 year satellite
missions which spend more time in bureaucracy than engineering for the
students. Given that we only have the students for one semester.

I believe that would require a (ra)dome to make it aerodynamically
acceptable. I would also believe it would require azimuth and elevation
controls as well since the vehicle and object will be moving.

I just worked an AO-51 pass at 1957UTC and had a contact with N4HML at
EL98. I am unable to find this call sign in the QRZ database. In the
FCC database, that call is registered to PRESCOTT JR, RICHARD H and the
status is Expired 02/27/2007 and Canceled 02/28/2009. So, either the
FCC is wrong or we have a bootlegger on the sats. Can anyone confirm this?

All, the satellites below are on schedule for launch tomorrow morning.
Launch will be viewable here:
http://gs.engin.umich.edu/predictions/tle_elana3.txt
The initial keps are here.
http://gs.engin.umich.edu/predictions/tle_elana3.txt. RAX-2, MCubed, E1P,
and AubieSat are all trackable by most OSCAR stations. I am sure all the
student teams would love to hear if HAMs world wide are picking up signals.

All,
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. It looks like the telemetry server
had a slight hiccup.
Telemetry was still being accepted and was saved, but the web pages were not
being updated.
I gave the telemetry server a gentle nudge. It has started updating the web
pages again.
The received telemetry will be uploaded to the telemetry archives shortly.

Please be careful - even a wire dish generates an enormous drag at 70MPH.
Do you intend to actually use the antenna while driving, or only while
parked? In either case, you would need a stabilized antenna with a radome
(see the Swe-Dish SOTM), or a folding roof antenna like the Swe-Dish DA150
series (see
http://www.rockwellcollins.com/sitecore/content/Data/Products/Communications_a
nd_Networks/SATCOM/SWE-DISH_DA150K_Compact_Drive-Away_Antenna_System.aspx
).
I don't work for Rockwell Collins / Swe-Dish or have any relationship with
them.
Commercial folding antennas are just expensive, while commercial stabilized
antennas are terribly expensive. But they may be worth the cost if you are
saving sat launches - and besides, I am sure anyone on this list would find
good uses for them :)

Hello everyone,
Here is a bit of news which would be "border-line late" if we waited for the
weekend ANS news cycle:
Two opportunities, one over Europe, and one over the United States
to directly receive the ISS downlink on 145.800 MHz FM will occur
early next week:
+ Kantonsschule Zug, Zug, Switzerland, direct via HB9KSZ on Mon
2011-10-31 14:56:19 UTC 39 deg elevation.
+ Sundance Elementary School, San Diego, California, direct via
KI6ZUM on Tue 2011-11-01 20:00:45 UTC 42 deg elevation.
In a recent communication of Fiscal Year 2011 accomplishments to
the NASA education community, NASA Associate Administrator for
Education Leland Melvin highlighted the accomplishments of ARISS:
"10,743 curious students and 778 motivated educators participated
in direct communication with International Space Station (ISS)
crews via the Amateur Radio on the International Space Station
(ARISS), sparking their interest in STEM."

The initial keps have been loaded into the APRS pass predictor.
For APRS users, to get a pass prediction for your QTH, make sure you've
beaconed your position recently then send a message to one of the
following "stations" and you should receive information on the next (or
current) pass:
SAT99999 or DICEY
SAT99998 or DICEF
SAT99997 or RAX2
SAT99996 (Mixed case sat names are not yet supported)
SAT99995 or E1PU2
SAT99994 (Mixed case sat names are not yet supported)
For more information on the satellite pass auto-responder, please see
http://aprsisce.wikidot.com/doc:satsrv
Lynn (D) - KJ4ERJ - Author of APRSISCE for Windows Mobile and Win32
PS. Yes, you can also send an APRS message to ISS or AO51 to receive
pass predictions for those satellites as well.

pardon my caps lock on my post, I thought I was on the AO51 afternoon
pass and I was yelling at the bird!
in reference to the "lapsed" call heard on AO-51:
Apparently several people heard/worked the station in question, the
lapse could be an oversight or someone picked up this persons call.
Based on what I heard the operator had been around the satellites
previously. Maybe some one around him locally can ask him if he knows
that the call has lapsed. The old FCC data base had him located in
Alabama and he was giving out a grid locator of EL98, maybe he moved and
lost track of his renewal date. We can give him the benefit of doubt
until some one can ask if he knows that the license is shown as lapsed
and recommend that he cease operation until he clears it up, altho' at
the speed of government now-a-days that could be a while!
well I said previously that was my two cents worth I guess i'm up to a
nickle now!

They're in the final hold, weather is awesome and everything looks good
to go for the 0948 UTC launch. Much like RAX-1, RAX-2 will have an
Amateur Radio beacon spitting out 500mW of 9600 baud GMSK every 20
seconds from it's right handed circularly polarized antenna... Such a
spunky lil bird... Once she reaches orbit and the ground stations are
able to track her they will upload the TLE data to their site.

Watched the launch from Las Vegas, NV. It rose over the Spring Mountians
and arced southwestly and just before it disappeared behind the neighbors
rooftop, the first stage seperation occured. At first, it looked like a
plane then I noticed the exhaust plume as it got bigger as it gained
altitude.
