For clarification purposes, I have a clarification to make.... Due to the
fact that I was not paying attention, we were NOT on Lake Superior last week
as I have been telling everyone via voice and text. We were on Lake HURON.
I even put "Superior" on the QSL cards, so please excuse the ink over
Superior when you receive it.
There are days when I wonder how on earth I end up believing the stuff I
do....

Hi All,
Thanks for the QSOs during my short trip to Michigan this past week. We
were on a brief family getaway and satellite comm was a secondary activity
as usual. ;-) EN75 is not an extremely rare grid, but I believe at least
5-6 ops were able to add it to the new grid list.
I have updated my blog with pics, QSL card and trip info at
http://kd8ksn.blogspot.com/. The cards have been ordered and should be here
in 2-3 weeks. I will send an email out as soon as I receive them. No
requests/SASEs are necessary.
73!

See the updated graphics for ARISSat height here:
http://www.qsl.net/py4zbz/arissat.htm#r
Often, ARISSat switch from high power to low power mode when
passing over my QTH in Brazil, despite being fully illuminated by the sun.
Coincidentally, this happens when he enters the SAA, South Atlantic Anomaly!
Is there any relationship?

I have been monitoring 437.345 MHz. Today I found a bunch of frames from
RAX-1. Since I can't find any current info on RAX-1 I wonder if RAX-2 is
identifying as RAX-1. Haven't seen anything from FAST1 since Saturday
evening. Never anything at 9600, thought maybe the 9600 might be broke on my
end but the frames from RAX-1 were at 9600.

If we worked from DM83-93, I will QSL all stations in log. No need to
QSL or SASE.
If we worked from DM72-82, I will QSL all stations in log. No need to
QSL or SASE.
All of the above contacts will be in LotW by 12/13.
Since EM31 was a quick roadside activation, I will not QSL unless you
make a request for it. No SASE needed, just email me the QSO details.
If you need it in LotW, say so in your email.

AMSAT/APRS ops needed in Europe to track trans-atlantic balloon!
Here is the last position copied on APRS with it 500 miles out to sea headed
for Europe..
http://aprs.fi/?call=k6rpt-11&mt=roadmap&z=7&timerange=172800&_s=ss_call
Its on USA freq of 144.39 so will not be heard in Europe except by people
specifically tuning for it.
Just point your high gain beam east and monitor 144.39 and capture any of
the 1200 baud AX.25 packets!

I see that VE3LSR-4 gated it recently from about 500 miles, so hopefully
we'll be able to 'see' it about that far off the coast.
What's the radio range at 107k ft...? My calculations show about 407 miles
line-of-sight (over the horizon) to a 30' tower and 470 miles diffraction
corrected radio range, it looks reasonable.
Anybody know a URL for real-time jet stream maps/plots?

Also Keep an ear out on the same frequency for NG0X-2
It is a similar flight, and it actually may arrive across the pond first
it had a several hundred mile head start.

I believe Bob meant that from Europe, they need to point their high gain beams
to the west, not to the east.

Yes, but it was also not transmitting for 17.5 hours now, or at least
whatever component of that time that it was still within range of the
United States. It may or may not get there and it may or may not wake
up enough to transmit.
But it is also on 144.390, so if you're listening for one, you're
listening for both.

I don't know what it's like down south but if it's anything like the weather
at 56?N then you won't be pointing them west for very long!
On the upside my 2m vertical has a bit of an inclination tilting its
radiation pattern up to the south, ideal for when the ISS goes back onto
145.825 ;-)

Well, if -11 is still airborne, operational, and headed in the same

range soon.

Hi All,
Based on current elements and WinAOS/SatPC32, it looks like we (North
America) *might* begin to get some useable passes with ARISSat-1
beginning this Friday afternoon (Dec. 16)!
It may actually take a few days beyond Friday, (depending on panel
illumination, etc.) but it's coming back around, just in time for the
Christmas holidays :)
73,

ISS was on 145.825 last night... I gated quite a few stations on the 01:10Z
pass over the U.S.

It made it across the Atlantic!
First packets being heard in the AZORES and automatically injected into the
APRS-IS system:
See plot: http://aprs.fi/?call=k6rpt-11
Now we need hams in Morrocco to tune from their normal APRS channel to
144.39 for continued automatic ARPS internet tracking!
Or send raw packets to me and I will integrate them if I can...
In the ?show-last? dialog box, enter 2 days to see its track all the way
back to launch in Calif!

APRS Balloon!
Well, if -11 is still airborne, operational, and headed in the same
direction - and if anybody in the Azores is listening, it ought to be in
range soon.
Its on 144.39 MHz, AX.25 1200 baud packet
