Hello Everyone,
Here is a bit of good news that we can get out before the next ANS bulletin
cycle.
NASA issued a Press Release naming AMSAT and everyone else who qualified for
the ELaNa launch program:
http://www.nasa.gov/home/hqnews/2012/feb/HQ_12-050_CubeSats.html
The space press is also picking up on the news:

All,
I got an email from a team member in Budapest and apparently the automatic
server side storage is online and functioning. He said use the latest version
of the software. Apparently it works for folks over there. Unfortunately
there are no details about how to configure it and what to do if it doesn't
work :) But I bet its a problem with firewall configuration / closed ports.
I will play around with opening up my firewall at home today after work and
see if I can make it connect to their server.
Cheers,
Andreas - VK4HHH

Hi!
Sorry for another wave-off. For the first time in a little while,
rain hit the Phoenix area. I won't work any of the passes tonight,
and - weather, and work, permitting - I am still planning to try
SO-50 tomorrow around midday. Since I'm not working passes tonight,
I may try to at least do one SO-50 pass in the evening (early
Thursday, UTC).
73!

I have been successful in copying both the CW and GFSK telemetry data
and a log was generated but there is no indication as to whether it has
been uploaded. Checking the website and each registered ham, I noted
that they all say "0 packets received" so I must assumed that they are
not automatically uploaded. Do we have to manually send the log files
somewhere? If so, where?
BTW, I am using 38079 (2012-006C) for Masat-1. I have not attempted to
receive any of the others yet.

This is very sad news. Dick's impact to AMSAT and amateur radio in space was
enormous. He will be sadly missed.

Message-ID:
<1329327152.98137.YahooMailClassic@xxxxxxxx.xxxx.xxx.xxxxx.xxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Hi!
I've planned my lunch today to coincide with the upcoming SO-50 pass
at 1832-1845 UTC (a 27-degree pass, from my south to the northeast).
That will be the only pass I can work as K7UGA during the daytime
today. This evening, I am planning to make up for not being on last
night and try two passes from home as K7UGA:
VO-52 at 0252-0305 UTC (an overhead pass)
SO-50 at 0310-0320 UTC (11-degree pass, from north to southeast)
Tomorrow (Thursday, 16 February) morning will have some passes in the
morning through midday that I should be able to work from home as
K7UGA:
VO-52 at 1444-1455 UTC (21-degree pass to my east)
VO-52 at 1620-1632 UTC (26-degree pass to my west)
SO-50 at 1900-1914 UTC (78-degree pass, from southwest to north)
AO-27 at 1921-1928 UTC (13-degree pass to my east)
Look for K7UGA around 145.910 MHz USB on the VO-52 downlink, but
be ready to tune around if I am not there. If nobody is working
me there, I will tune around and attempt to work anyone I hear on
the transponder.
After these passes, I plan to be on the road to the Yuma Hamfest,
and may stop to work passes on FO-29 and possibly AO-7 in mode B
late in the afternoon if I can safely get off the freeway. Then
everything will focus on the Yuma Hamfest starting Friday at midday,
although I may be able to work some mid- to late-morning passes
before the hamfest officially opens.
73!

Hi Bob, I had the same issue so I replaced them with LEDS. Two over each
meter. Did it a couple of years ago. No Burn outs.

Had a blast collecting telemetry for MaSat-1 just now. I used object
C, which was not correct for doppler. Judging by the point at which
the signal ended on my clear horizon, I think it might be
F or G.
For those who are new to the software, I'd note that the strongest
signal on the waterfall is the one that should be aligned
approximately with the 575 Hz mark. It is quite tolerant of your being
off by a 100 Hz or so, I'd say. I also think that the CW signal should
be on the 1200 Hz mark (i.e., don't tune the CW to a typical CW tone,
which is around 600 Hz).
Does anyone know how close to the upper and lower marks I can set my
filter on the TS-2000?
73, Bruce
