Does anyone have an interest in a complete telemetry demodulator which
was used for AO10/13. The PCB/design was done by G3RUH. I have a
complete unit available with metering and power supply, RS-232 data
output.
Photo available on request.
Thank you for looking.

SKN On OSCAR 2012 Best Fist Winners
Many thanks to all who participated in AMSAT's Straight Key Night
on OSCAR 2012, held in memory of Don Brown, W1JSM. Activity was
down this year, owing largely to there being only two satellites
available for use: AMSAT-OSCAR 7 -- which remained in Mode A
throughout the event -- and VUSAT-OSCAR 52.
Eight participants each received at least one Best Fist nomination:
AA5PK, N4ZQ, N6EV, WA6ARA, WB2SIH, WB4LHD, WB8TGY, and WC7V.
Congratulations to 2012's Best Fist winners, and we'll see you
in 2013!

Remembering Mr. Smith - SuitSat-1 February 3, 2006
February 3 marks the sixth anniversary of the first ARISS satellite,
SuitSat-1, which captured the imagination of students, radio amateurs,
and people all around the world.
During a scheduled EVA outside the International Space Station, Val-
ery Tokarev and Bill McArthur, KC5ACR deployed a retired Russian Orlan
spacesuit with a radio transmitter and battery stuffed inside and
antenna mounted on its helmet. The deployment took place just after
23:05 UTC on February 3, 2006. Transmissions were soon heard on
145.990 MHz.
SuitSat-1, also known as Mr. Smith, Ivan Ivanovich, RadioSkaf, Radio
Sputnik and AMSAT-OSCAR 54, was an idea proposed by the ARISS-Russia
team as a commemorative gesture celebrating the 175th anniversary of
the Moscow State Technical University.
SuitSat-1 was programmed to continuously transmit recorded voice
messages in several languages from students around the world. The
signal began transmission approximately 15 minutes after SuitSat-1
was jettisoned. The downlink signal was noted to be weaker than ex-
pected, possibly due to a mechanical problem with the antenna.
SuitSat-1 re-entered the Earth's atmosphere on September 7, 2006, at
16:00 UTC about 1400 km south-southwest of Western Australia.
SuitSat-2 was planned following the public relations success of the
first suit. Originally, it was to have solar cells strapped to the
outside of the suit to provide charge for internal batteries and ex-
tend its life during orbit. When the Orlan suit planned to be used
for this mission was no longer available, SuitSat-2 was redesigned
into a satellite built into a deployable spaceframe with the solar
cells and cameras for Slow Scan Television (SSTV) mounted on the
outside of the box. The spacecraft was named ARISSat-1/KEDR which
recently completed its successful mission.

Budapest University Masat-1 Telemetry Decoder Software Released
Dr. Bandi Gschwindt HA5WH, Project Director of the Masat-1 CubeSat,
the first Hungarian satellite, built in Hungary by students at the
Budapest University of Technology and Economics, reports that their
satellite is expected to be launched on the Vega maiden flight on
February 9 with a planned deployment window between 10:00-13:00 UTC.
Masat-1's website is at: http://cubesat.bme.hu/?lang=en
The students are looking for hams to help with the reception of tele-
metry data on 437.345 MHz at 625/1250 bps baud rate GFSK, especially
in the first two weeks after launch. The satellite's callsign is
HA5MASAT.

Can It Already Be That Time of Year For Field Day Planning?
AMSAT Director Contests and Awards, Bruce Paige, KK5DO reminds you
that time of year is once again approaching - Field Day!
Each year the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) sponsors Field Day
as an emergency preparedness exercise. The event takes place during
a 24-hour period on the fourth weekend of June. For 2012 the event
takes place during a 27-hour period between 1800 UTC on Saturday,
June 23, 2012 and 2100 UTC on Sunday June 24, 2012. Those who set up
prior to 1800 UTC on June 23 can operate only 24 hours.
The Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT) promotes its own ver-
sion of Field Day for operation via the amateur satellites, held con-
currently with the ARRL event.
With the loss of AO-51 and SO-67 field day this year is going to be
most challenging. If you are considering ONLY the FM voice satellites
like AMRAD-OSCAR-27 or SaudiSat-Oscar-50 for your primary AMSAT Field
Day focus: Don't, unless you are simply hoping to make one contact
for the ARRL rules bonus points.
The congestion on FM LEO satellites was so intense in prior years
that we must continue to limit their use to one-QSO-per-FM-satellite.
This includes the International Space Station. You will be allowed
one QSO if the ISS is operating Voice. You will also be allowed one
digital QSO with the ISS or any other digital, non-store-and-forward,
packet satellite (if operational).
If you have worked the satellites on Field Day in recent years, you may have
noticed a lot of good contacts can be made on some of the less-populated,
low-earth-orbit satellites like VUSat OSCAR-52,Fuji-OSCAR 29 (may or may not
be
operational), AMSAT-OSCAR 7. During Field Day the transponders come alive like
20 meters on a weekend. The good news is that the transponders on these
satellites will support multiple simultaneous contacts. The bad news
is that you
can't use FM, just low dutycycle modes like SSB and CW.
The AMSAT Field Day 2012 event is open to all Amateur Radio operators.
Amateurs are to use the exchange as specified in ARRL rules for Field
Day. The AMSAT competition is to encourage the use of all amateur sat-
ellites, both analog and digital.
For the complete listing of the AMSAT Field Day Rules please refer to
the documents posted on-line at:

Successful ARISS Contact with El Dorado County Students
On Tuesday, January 24, on-orbit astronaut Dan Burbank, KC5ZSX participated in
an ARISS contact with students from El Dorado County in Placerville,
California.
The students, who came from several schools within the county, were able to
get
answers to many of their questions about space. Approximately 250
people were in
attendance and another 160 watched as the contact was streamed over the
internet. The radio connection was provided by telebridge station W6SRJ in
California. The station, located on the campus of Santa Rosa Junior College
(SRJC), hosted another 15 observers. In addition, the college sent a reporter
and photographer from its newspaper, The Oak Leaf, to cover the event. The
ARISS contact was part of a comprehensive education plan used to
pique students'
interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).
More on the
event, including video and photos may be found on the El Dorado
County Web site.

Hi Bill
Here is the url

Some years back I got an experimental license for non sat use. Several
universitys have obtained sat license this way. They are assigned on the
same frequency as the ham sats and I don't know if they coordinate with the
IRAU. The experimental license allows the organizations to make money .
