Well I am finally back on the air after my mishap lowering a mast 2 weeks
ago. My hand has healed enough, and the weather was nice enough for me to
get on the tower and install the new M2 436CP30 beam. It's a 30 element
cross polarized beam and works awesome. Its coupled to my Kenwood TS-2000
via a ARR Preamp and a High Sierra Microwave down converter to get past that
nasty TS-2000 birdie issue on 436.800.
I just worked an SO-50 pass here on the east coast at 1816 EST. I did a
livestream broadcast of the pass and saved a video of the pass in my video
library on the stream page. http://www.livestream.com/w1msgsat .
I will be broadcasting some passes from time to time on the livestream site,
so check it every now and then. I will also save the video's of the pass's I
work. The really cool thing is you can actually hear me on the pass as I am
using my signalink receive audio for the audio stream on the site.
The new antenna is better than expected, SO-50 is not the easiest satellite
to work, and you can tell that by the signals. Not to mention the disruption
from the solar conditions.
Hope to catch ya on the birds !!!

Hey there all,
I was doing some prep work for the next Boy Scout Radio Merit badge class we
will hold at the National Scouting Museum in Irving, TX on Feb. 11 and was
mapping out the AO-27 and SO-50 passes for that day. I was surprised to
note that they are almost on top of each other or at least down here not too
many degrees apart. I know this has happened before but since the uplink
and downlink frequencies for these two satellites are quite close, I would
expect quite a bit of interference at times to each of them during my pass.
SO-50 has a weaker downlink power so most likely I suspect capture effect
would for the most part wipe it out or at least make the signal quite noisy.
Also the issue of antennas like the Arrow that have a decently wide
beamwidth on the two meter uplink side will cause issues with the same
uplink possibly hitting both satellites at the same time. Folks with higher
gain fixed stations may be able to differentiate each satellite for uplink
and downlink but us little portable guys may not.
Any experiences that those of you veterans can pass along on dealing with
this type of situation will be appreciated.

All,
Heard the RS-39 CW telemetry during the 4:14 UTC pass over India. Recording
can be found at ?http://www.vu3tyg.addr.com/RS-39/?. The signals were strong
and I was following the keps of the Progress M13 M cargo ship. The RS -39 CW
signals were heard 2 minutes after Progress M13 in range.

All, for anyone interested, we figured out how to increase the FM deviation
of the Icom 910H. It takes a fairly simple single resistor change to the
rig. A brief overview is online. Thanks to all those who offered comments.

Heard again RS-39 Chibis over Bangalore,India during 05:49 pass. The
CW signals were very very strong. Never heard any satellite this
strong with a 3X5/8 collinear running about 150 feet of HCJ-50 heliax.
Though not equipped at the moment to decode, recorded the entire pass.
As Nitin VU3TYG mentioned, using the latest Keps of Progress M13.

Hello all,
Chibis was heard during short pass (6deg max EL) over central Europe.
Both frequencies (435.315 and 435.215 MHz) seems to be active, with
lower one modulated with some data/voice and upper one first just CW
beacon, then switched to modulated as well.
FFT spectrum screenshot: http://www.r00t.cz/tmp/rs39.png
Signals were really weak, but next pass should be better.
Times of signal AOS/LOS fit the PROGRESS-M 13M keps.

Also just heard RS-39 over VK at 04:36 UTC. Didn't collect much

Looking at the data so far shown on this site.....the data for USUN
shows red when placed in the telemetry decoder. From reading earlier
I think this means its out of range. Its only showing 2.8v.....
Am I right ?
