I'm with you on that. I like receiving cards, don't mind sending them
out, and also like LOTW. I'm doing my part to support office-supply
stores for the cardstock and printer supplies, as well as my local
post office. :-)

For my 11K+ satellite QSOs made from all locations, I'm seeing
about 13% confirmed in LOTW. I know it helps that I'm operating
from different places, but I'm putting every QSO into LOTW - even
if it is the umpteenth QSO with the same station. Then I have a
complete copy of my log I can access online, in addition to the
spreadsheet copies that are on backups here at home and on a
flash drive with me.

Thanks!
I need to run through my log to see how many grids I have confirmed,
on paper and in LOTW. I think it is near 500 now, and 134 of those are
confirmed in LOTW, for my Phoenix-area activity.

And make sure to include your grid when you define a station location
in the TQSL program! Otherwise you get confirmation for the QSO, but
it is useless toward a VUCC award. Multi-grid QTHs work fine in LOTW,
too.

By the way---if you are having trouble with the TLEs as posted---try opening
the .TXT file from within Word; copy the info, and paste into a new .TXT
file. That fixed the LF/CR issues I was seeing...

Dear all,
Find below in this email (or attached) the predicted Two Line Elements for
the VEGA Maiden Flight, kindly calculated by the University of Bologna.
These TLEs were calculated on a best-effort basis with some simplifying
assumptions but they will be ok for the first few orbits.
There are three different sets of TLEs for different launch scenarios at
10:00, 11:00 and 12:00 UTC on 2012 Feb. 13.
We would like to thank University of Bologna and ESA Education Office for
their efforts to have these TLEs ready for the launch.
Best regards,
Alberto Gonz?lez - University of Vigo

Hi Mark / group
Thanks for that.
If you've run the keps you will have seen that the satellites will be over
the East Coast of the USA just 15 minutes after they start transmitting.
AOS for the East coast is around 1 hour 50 minutes after launch. Some of
the University ground stations will not hear their own signals for 5 hours.
>From launch, Vega travels north up the Atlantic and deploys the cubesats
about half an orbit later to the south of Australia.
Allowing a little time to move apart, the sats start transmitting over the
Pacific to the West of Chile. 15 mins later they are in range of Florida
and the East coast.
The telemetry and signal levels should be interesting as they seem to be in
almost constant sunlight and the altitude varies from 1450km down to 300km.
www.videocorner.tv for launch coverage.

log. I plan on working all of the passes I previously posted,
including the late-evening 0503 UTC SO-50 pass. I hope
to work more stations on the next few passes tonight.

Hi!
The Central Arizona DX Association's commemoration of the Arizona
Statehood Centennial is underway. Thanks to Bob K7BHM, the CADXA's
organizer of this week-long event and the K7UGA QSL manager, I was
able to get on the air this evening as the UTC clock passed the
midnight hour earlier today, starting with an AO-7 pass. K7UGA
logged a total 16 QSOs on 5 different passes, using 3 different
satellites (AO-7, SO-50, VO-52). Thanks for the QSOs!
K7UGA will also be on the HF bands from stations around Arizona,
with some of the HF operations already in progress. More will
be on the HF bands after 1500 UTC today, through next Sunday (19th).
To read more about the CADXA's commemoration, which received the
OK from the Arizona Centennial Commission as an official event
connected with the state centennial celebrations, please visit
http://cadxa.org/
For Monday evening (early Tuesday on the UTC clock), I am planning
to work the following passes:
VO-52 at 0218-0230 UTC (passes to the east of Arizona)
SO-50 at 0351-0404 UTC (passes from the north of Arizona to the southeast)
I know there is a second VO-52 pass I could work at the same time
as the SO-50 pass, but I would like to work both SSB and FM where
possible. The 0218 UTC VO-52 pass practically covers from coast
to coast, and those on the west coast can get an early jump on the
0351 UTC SO-50 pass before that footprint stretches too far east.
Tuesday, 14 February, is Statehood Day here in Arizona. Along
with the planned operations on HF from the 3 cities that served
as capitals in Arizona's pre-statehood territorial days (Phoenix,
Tucson, and Prescott) and my planned activity tomorrow night (which
will be the 14th on the UTC clock), I am hoping to be able to work
one or two passes around the 1930-2030 UTC timeframe from here in
the Phoenix area. This will allow satellite operators a chance to
do the same thing as those working HF. I see an SO-50 pass at
1943-1958 UTC on Tuesday, followed by an AO-27 pass where the
repeater should switch on around 2019 UTC. I would like to work
both passes if possible, but will try for at least one of the two.
I will take a closer look at the Tuesday evening (early Wednesday,
UTC time) passes tomorrow. I expect there should be VO-52 and
SO-50 passes that K7UGA can be on, and I will post more about that
later.
73!

Hi!
During the first AO-7 pass I worked as K7UGA this evening, I
made a video of that pass. Since I only made 3 QSOs early in
the pass, I trimmed it down to about 6 minutes in length.
The video is now available on YouTube at:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=790OQThYtX0
More videos should follow later, either like this one or
combinations of the audio I record when working each pass
combined with still photos to make a slideshow that plays
with the audio track. I'm using the same two FT-817NDs I
used in other videos I recently posted, along with an Elk
log periodic.

Latest update from Kourou timed at 0724UTC
?The chronology is on going smoothly for a launch today at 11:00 for a
launch window that has been extended to 3 hours.
The launcher is under control, flight software is up loaded in the on board
computer, the inertial reference system is aligned.
Mechanical teams are now removing the mobile gantry. Meteo is fine for the
launch up to now.?
(I believe the 11:00 time indicated is actually 11:00 CET therefore the
start of the launch window remains at 10:00 UTC)

Nice launch!
Let's see how satellite separation works. Great job by ESA.

Congratulations to ESA,Vega and all other Cubesat teams. Really 'Great
and perfect Text Book'launch.
Good luck and wishes to all the cubesat missions and looking forward
to hear the telemetry signals from all the cubesats over India.
Hope VEGA would carry more satellites for Radio Amateurs !!
