Subject: [amsat-bb] Satellite Demo MSU-TI Dec 20
I will be conducting an ARRL Teachers Institute at Mississippi State
University from December 19-22. The afternoon of Dec 20 (with the 21st as a
backup) I will be covering using space-borne systems in the classroom. A
major part of that unit is demonstrating ham satellite contacts, and I could
use your help. If you could give a listen for us on the AO27 pass that (I
think.I'll confirm once I am at the location and test things out) will go
over EM42 on Dec 20th at around 1435 EST and give a shout-out to the
teachers. I will be using the call W1AW/5 for the pass. If you'd like a
QSL for the contact, send an e-mail to me and I'll make sure you get one.
If you would like to see what else is covered during the Teachers Institute,
check it out at:
http://www.arrl.org/teachers-institute-on-wireless-technology.
The satellite demonstrations are always an eye-opening experience for the
teachers, and the TI demonstrations would not be possible without your
support and patience.
TNX and 73,

Was wondering something, being rather new at all this.....
Worked someone last week on AO 7 but mostly I just hear myself. So I am
convinced that the bird and I are in fact functional.
I've listened, tuned around, and threw out my call, where is everyone?
For example this early A.M. pass over NY. I heard myself pretty good.
Tuned around... heard no one.
Now and then just using this particular bird as an example, I've
convinced myself I am going thru the bird normally but in the recent
past also nothing...
Just wondering, perhaps I am missing something?
Going to Dayton '12 It will get better with
more support!

Hi Bernard VA6BMJ
Received the beacon of Sputnik 1 on 20,002 MHz with a RX
Hallicrafters SX-28 and a long-wire antenna 40 meters long.
Received two beacons of Echo 1 on 108,000 and 108,030 MHz
with homebrewed converter and Hallicrafters SX-28 as a 40 MHz
IF and a 3 elements yagi.
Received the beacon of OSCAR-1 on 144,983 MHz with 2
meters homebrewed converter and Hallicrafters SX-28 as a
28 MHz IF with 6 element yagi.

Yes - Oscar-1 is listed by NORAD as the 241st manmade object to reach orbit.
Then just 8 1/2 years later two men were landed on the moon and 12 years
after that the first Shuttle flew, very approximately 50, 40 and 30 years
ago!

Wow--you've been involved with it from the very beginning.
I was born 2 years before Sputnik, so I grew up with this as well. My
earliest recollection was of a news item I saw on TV about an American
launch. I was 3 or 4 years old at the time so I don't recall what the
payload was or when it took place.
It's a privilege to be of a generation that got to see it all first-hand.

Having learned my lesson, I try to keep my comments to the technical issues,
but here goes.
Has anyone been able to copy AUBIE? If so, tell me how you do it.
I want to publicly thank Ed Long for his job as AMSAT Journal Editor. His
guidance sure made things easy for article submissions.
Delfi-n3Xt is good news. The linear transponder on the non-battery Delfi-C3
worked well until its failure. I still download packets from its scientific
mode as it has excellent signals on 145.870. The JAVA based software is easy
to load up and run needing only an audio link from the radio to a computer
sound card. Hopefully n3Xt's design has a fail safe circuit so the battery
won't take it down like so many, and it will operate on solar just like C3
and AO7.
Merry Christmas Everyone,

guidance sure made things easy for article submissions.
Delfi-n3Xt is good news. The linear transponder on the non-battery Delfi-C3
worked well until its failure. I still download packets from its scientific
mode as it has excellent signals on 145.870. The JAVA based software is easy
to load up and run needing only an audio link from the radio to a computer
sound card. Hopefully n3Xt's design has a fail safe circuit so the battery
won't take it down like so many, and it will operate on solar just like C3
and AO7.
Merry Christmas Everyone,
Mike (K9QHO)

The ITRX Configurable Transceiver that it's flying looks interesting
