I am still taken back by the amount of folks willing to pay top dollar for a
discontinued radio, I just saw a IC-910 with no 1.2 and owned previously by
a smoker with a starting bid of $1300 .. Wow .. I would think the prices
would go down now that there is a known fix for the TS-2000.

Hi OMs,
MaSat-1 seems to me as great CubeSat. The signal during revn 5 was very
strong at max elevation 12 degrees at me in Brno. Number of detected Packets
was 74. The audio file:

Nice work, Mirek!
I just decoded Masat-1 using Funcube Dongle and their software. I
only got a few packets, but I was doing all of it remotely from work

Sure here ya go...
http://www.hsmicrowave.com/page12.html
You want the 432M7 unit. What I did was put an A/B switch on my 70cm beam
and when working the FM birds I switch to B which goes to the down
converter, then out of the down converter to the dedicated RX connection on
the back of the TS-2000. Menu 18 activates the ant port. Now for the FM
birds it converts to 11 mhz so you need to add the correct freq offset in
SatPC which is 425000 .. Works Great !!

Congratulations, Wouter.
Is there a client software for amateurs to collect and submit telemetry?
If so, where can it be downloaded?

Hi!
It's Monday evening, or Tuesday (14th) on the UTC clock. I was on the
0218-0230 UTC VO-52 pass as K7UGA, and plan to work one more pass this
evening - an SO-50 pass at 0351-0405 UTC. Thanks for the QSOs so far!
On Tuesday in the early afternoon, I hope to work the SO-50 pass at
1943-1958 UTC. I can't stretch my lunch time to cover the AO-27 pass
that starts about 2019 UTC, and SO-50 gives me more time to (hopefully)
work stations than I can in the 7 minutes on AO-27.
For Tuesday evening (early Wednesday on the UTC clock), I am looking to
work the following passes:
VO-52 at 0235-0247 UTC (satellite passing directly over my head)
VO-52 at 0413-0422 UTC (low pass over the west coast)
SO-50 at 0420-0433 UTC (starting to my north, going around to southeast)
I may stop working the VO-52 pass around the time SO-50 comes up from
the horizon, as I don't have great visibility to the northwest from my
house.
For Wednesday, I'm hoping to work one midday pass:
SO-50 at 1832-1845 UTC (starting to my south, going around to northeast)
I am not sure about my Wednesday evening (early Thursday, UTC) plans
yet. I plan on working passes on Thursday morning and around midday
from the back yard (VO-52, SO-50, possibly AO-27) before driving to
Yuma and on to California. I may skip working passes Wednesday
evening, and focus on the daytime operating Thursday morning instead.
I'll post more about that tomorrow night or Wednesday morning.
73!

Everyone,
I started digging into the ARISSat-1 Keplerian Elements in more details.
See some of my effort here:
http://libjoe.blogspot.com/2012/02/arissat-1-keplerian-element-analysis.html
Right now I am generating some basic plots but I wish to do much more with
this, such as:
- intersect this with the telemetry data - there are many ways to do this
the first will be plotting temperature values along the line of orbit as the
satellite entered / exited eclipse
- maybe generate a few fly-by videos that show line-of-site to a particular
station that was receiving telemetry / sstv at that particular time
If you have any comments or suggestions, feel free to share them. I am
really excited right now because I am using my code and made my first
correct plots this evening!
If we knew (or could predict) the satellites orientation at a particular
moment, I could drop in a model of ARISSat-1 into the scene and orient it
correctly.
I think this will be a great way to interactively visualize what happened
during the satellites lifetime.

Hi All,
PW-Sat has been decoded using the ISIS GSKit on the first and 3rd pass
of PW-SAT over Delft.
On the third pass we also connected SDR hardware to 70cm to listen for
the other cubes

familiar BPSK 1200 sounds ;)

Nothing new...
We continue to check aprs.fi for any packets from kt5tk-11, but have
received none...
However, we have uploaded new pix and vids of the launch campaign.
Here's hoping!

The tracker went quiet a few hours after launch so nobody knows where it is.

I started digging into the ARISSat-1 Keplerian Elements in more details.
See some of my effort here:
http://libjoe.blogspot.com/2012/02/arissat-1-keplerian-element-analysis.html
Right now I am generating some basic plots but I wish to do much more with
this, such as:
- intersect this with the telemetry data - there are many ways to do this
the first will be plotting temperature values along the line of orbit as the
satellite entered / exited eclipse
- maybe generate a few fly-by videos that show line-of-site to a particular
station that was receiving telemetry / sstv at that particular time
If you have any comments or suggestions, feel free to share them. I am
really excited right now because I am using my code and made my first
correct plots this evening!
If we knew (or could predict) the satellites orientation at a particular
moment, I could drop in a model of ARISSat-1 into the scene and orient it
correctly.
I think this will be a great way to interactively visualize what happened
during the satellites lifetime.
