Some of the requested features "scare" me on your behalf, Dave (grin).
? Doppler correction information (1)
? Footprints (2)
? Satellite information including frequencies, modes (5)
If invoked, you will need to update the program VERY often ... because if
there's a mode change on a sat, and your program doesn't show it - well,
that's the type of "support" email you do not deserve to receive.
Personally, I would make people perform their own research for the satellite
control operator pages, and get the freq info in that manner. Otherwise - to
be accurate - you will have to edit your program every mode change of a sat.
I see your program (and the other good ones) as being tools to tell us WHERE
the sats are. Get that aspect of the process down reliably and painlessly -
then you are "ahead of the curve" from other lesser programs out there. I
truly believe it is up to each ham to educate themselves on how to find the
best info on freq/mode data elsewhere.

At 2110Z had a 70+ degree pass. ARRISSat appeared to be in low power mode,
but the doppler correction was aproximately 1 KHz off even with less than
day old keps. When the telemetry beacon came on it never appeared to come
out of idle mode and no telemetry was decoded.

I was able to copy ARISSat-1 during three passes today but as was
mentioned in a previous bulletin, the signal seems much weaker, and I
have had to correct the frequency often which means the keps are not up
to date although I downloaded them this morning. I just downloaded them
again a few minutes ago and noticed a big change. She was also in Low
Power mode in full sunlight again. I did work CW through her and heard
my signal on the downlink but it was weak and warblely (if that is a
word). I am thinking it is tumbling quite a bit. I am beginning to
believe that the predictions for de-orbit on the 30th might be accurate.
I must say it has been fun and I hope we have all learned lessons from
the experience. I'll keep monitoring until it is confirmed that
de-orbit has occurred. I am looking forward to Hamcation in February so
I can sit and chat (debrief) with all the fine people who put her up there.

At 2244 had a 22 degree pass with strong signals on the HO loop. The
highest temperature was the -A PPT6 panel temp at 74 deg C. RF temp was 58
C which is less then the 60+ observed yesterday. Satellite was in high
power mode the entire pass.
Keps were only a half day old, but I still had to do some tweaking to keep
the telemetry in the decoder's bandpass.

Hi all,
ARISSat-1 is working well here, I could hear CW beacon and decoded some BPSK
telemetry frames on a 14 degrees pass this morning.
Will try to track it till the last moment.

Message-ID: <COL111-W3638A24F8E9C439A30F98686920@xxx.xxx>

I just bought a used (originally purchased in 1996) G5400 az/el rotor combo
for my local radio club. The rotors are in great shape. In fact the az rotor
is still in its original wrapping!
Years ago and at another club, I got used to their G5600 rotors, which had
limit switches in both the elevation and azimuth rotors. These limit
switches provided great protection from us neophyte sat ops accidentally
jamming the rotors against their stops.
>From past postings on AMSAT-BB, I take it the main difference between the
G5400 and the G5600 rotors is that the G5400 uses a thermal switch instead
of limit switches in the G5400 az rotor. I'm not sure if I can trust the
thermal switch setup as much as I did the limit switches. If limit switches
are truly a better safeguard against rotor damage, can I simply add G5600
limit switches to the G5400 az rotor?
I know I'd have to install the motor start cap in the controller. Just
wondering about the limit switches.
Thanks,

Hi Dave,
I have been using HamSatDroid from the time it was released and I simply
love the app. Thank you for that.
On the features side, I feel that the satellite list should be sorted. I
always end up scrolling up and down the list a couple of times to find the
right satellite. Another feature that I would request is the ability to
rotate the radar plots. I believe the "Utilize the compass and tilt sensors
to show when the phone is pointing at the satellite" feature might be
something similar to what I am asking for. I particularly liked this ability
to turn the radar plots in the Satellite Tracker iOS app.
Eagerly waiting to see the new features in the app. If you need testers do
let me know. I am an experienced app tester.

SSTV pictures on HF are often in Scottie-1 mode, while the ARISSat-1 are in
Robot-36. Perhaps you are receiving in the wrong mode? That's about the
only thing I can think of that might be mis-matched, if HF works, since with
the satellite's downlink being in FM mode, you can't be off in audio
frequency. I presume you're seeing the audio in the waveform display.
MMSSTV has an automatic mode detect which I have found to work very well. I
just click on that, and off it goes. I think everything is default. Have
you tried that?
Good luck,
Greg KO6TH

Message-ID: <4EFDBA48.8090600@xxxxx.xx.xx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
OSCAR-11 REPORT 29 December 2011
This report covers the period from 01 September to 28
December 2011. The satellite has continued to operate in a
very predictable way since the last report, and no changes
have been observed. During this time the satellite has been
heard reliably during its ten-day transmission periods.
Excellent signals have been reported from stations located
around the world, and good copy obtained from decoded
telemetry frames.
The easiest way to check whether OSCAR-11 is operational is
to look at the General Satellite Status website
http://oscar.dcarr.org/index.php . You can also calculate
the operating schedule from the last switch-off time, which
was 28 December 2011 at 15:00 UTC (approx), using 10.35 days
off followed by 10.35 days on.
Reception reports have been received from Gustavo LW2DTZ,
Bob KI0G, Rolf HB9TSO and Francesco IT9JRU. Many thanks to
all and those who posted to the status website.
The satellite is currently in eclipse during all evening
passes over the UK, resulting in lower signal strengths at
these times. Owing to the gradual precession of the orbit,
the season for eclipses of the evening passes is longer
this year compared with the winter last year.
The on-board clock continues to gain, 28 seconds during the
current reporting period, and 112 seconds since regular
transmissions were resumed at the end of August 2010. There is
however a large accumulated error of 308.54303 days slow.
This was caused mainly by the clock stopping during
eclipses, when there was also an unknown drain on the power
supply. The units of the least significant digit correspond
approximately to seconds (0.86 seconds actually).
The VHF beacon frequency is 145.826 MHz. AFSK FM ASCII
Telemetry. The satellite is operating in the default mode,
with a cycle time of 20.7 days. 10.35 days on followed by
10.3rts around the expected times of switch-on
and switch-off are of special interest, especially for times
12:00 - 18:00 and 22:00 - 07:00 UTC, when the satellite is
out-of-range in the UK . The URL is
http://oscar.dcarr.org/index.php
A longer version of this report report is available on my
website, and new listeners to OSCAR-11 should read this for
further information. The URL is www.g3cwv.co.uk/oscar11.htm
. This page contains a links to the longer report, a short
audio clip to help you identify the satellite and a file of
the last telemetry received. The website also contains an
archive of news & telemetry data which is updated from time
to time, and details about using a soundcard or hardware
demodulators for data capture. There is also software for
capturing data, and decoding ASCII telemetry.
If you place this bulletin on a terrestrial packet network,
please use the bulletin identifier $BID:U2RPT157.CWV, to

Hi Kirk.
You need a very good signal to noise ration with that SSTV via FM.
I've had OK (ish) pictures with a 3 element beam, but it's not ideal.
Try a near overhead pass, it must be a lot closer now than it was 2 months
ago when I last tried.

GA,
All the talk about SSTV from this bird got me thinking I'inclined orbit, PCSAT enters a full sun period about once
every 3 months. PCSAT can be fully operational during those periods and
beyond if we can get command and turn off unnecessary redundant loads.
The problem is that the times when we get peak sun (peak power) on the BEST
panel is when we are also experiencing maximum eclipses. SO we can command
easily (peak power available for a packet), but with only 45 minutes charge
time, cannot then last through the following 35 min eclipse (minimum average
power available).
On the other hand, when we have full sun and there are no eclipses (plenty
of average power), there is no sun on the -Z face to give us the peak power
we need for the few seconds to complete the packet command sequence.
What this means is that we really only have one or two days out of the 1 or
2 week full sun windows to get command, and only in winter. Because each
orbit as we approach the terminator is getting less and less peak power, but
recovering it before full-sun cannot be sustained due to low average power.
VOLUNTEER STUDENT PROJECT?
Anyway, the offset between the earth's magnetic and geometric poles,
suggests there are several degrees of variation in the -Z sun power
depending on WHERE the commanding ground station is relative to the time of
day and orbit plane with respect to magnetic North. Using simple geometry,
I have estimated our best command opportunity from Maryland is when the
satellite crosses about 35 deg N latitude and to our east in the morning as
the orbit approaches full sun. But I have no comprehensive math model to
then predict other optimum times for other potential command locations.
DK3WN's ground station in Germany I think, sees a little bit better angle
differentiation due to his being perpendicular to the line between the
magnetic and geographic poles, but I would like to have a good formal
analysis of this geometry to better be able to coordinate our commanding.
When commanding, one only gets one attempt per orbit per day. If it fails
due to lack of peak power, then the load of the satellites attempted
response and RETRIES kills the batteries for that orbit.
Anyway, working all of this out with a math model and plots so we can
predict these optimum times would be a great benefit to our decade old
satellite (the longest operational student project satellite).

Hi all,
Pleased to report lots of activity on the last two passes of ARRISat-1
over here in Europe today (Friday)
Some calls at 1507 hrs PD0RKC, heard you and you were 5 X 8 but dropped
to 5 X 5 rather quickly.
At 1639 hrs heard ON4GP calling and then in contact with DG1ER, you were
both 5X7 prior to the satellite
switching off in eclipse.
Nice to report the activity as we approach the end on the year and an era

All,
I am most pleased to advise that ARISSat-1/ RADIOSKAF-V/ KEDR is very
much alive and giving an excellent performance through the 475.750/145.930
MHz TRANSPONDER. On the 17:54Z pass over Cincinnati today December 30, I
sent and copied my picture. Picture was my ATV call ID used for fast scan.
Picture came through all together but does have noise, particularly in the
last half. I will send it to the ARISS SSTV Gallery for consideration to
post. I hope others will also experiment with CW, voice, and SSTV via the
Transponder.

Hi guys,
?
Well, I heard the announcement enough times I thought I'd try some CW. So at
the 1930 UTC pass today I had the rig set up and a soon as I heard the sat I
started calling cq But, not having the kepps Installed I had to keep
adjusting the VFO, which was OK. There was some one else doing CW and?the
copy was a tad fast for me I listened for some time till it went totally out
of range, but it was Q5 copy all the way. Being a newbe at Sats this is all
new to an old HF guy.
?
Good job Amsat and we certainly look forward to the Fox projects.
?
73 and and have a great new year
?
Joe KT7E
