Vince's LED fix is the right one! However, several years ago, I was fixing
mine, and noticed the bulbs have series resistors which are not shown in the
schematic. I had spare bulbs from Yaesu, and replaced the resistors at the
same time with the next higher standard value. (33 ohms to 39 ohms, or
something close.) The loss in output was negligible, and they have yet to
burn out. When they do, I have LEDs set aside.

I use Masat-1 decoder with a number of other stations all over the world.
Please take a look into your folder where your decoder is installed.
You may find files made daily like this:
Masat-1_20120214.txt
This sample contains a few frames from those I have received and decoded
yesterday:

The decoder software uploads this data to the Budapest command station
automatically.

I just tried F and G. G was the better fit, with a 80+ deg. pass, it
held up pretty well against the doppler, though not perfectly.

All,
I got some answers from the team in Hungary and apparently the software is
_in_deed_ automatically
sending the packets to the server over there ! The 'offline' sign in the
lower left corner has nothing
to do with it:

Well there you go. Sent them 560 packets and didn't even know it :) And in
another email:

Still doesn't explain why the 'Server side logging' checkbox is unchecked
_and_ grayed out. But I guess its all research software very much under
development.

Looks like the Masat team updated / fixed their website, too.
Now when you go to the 'track our satellite' section, it actually shows the
position
of the satellite and - more importantly - the 'Packets Received' from each
registered
Amateur station ! So now you can check if the packet upload is actually
working.

Good stuff. Nicely Done, Masat team.

Yes, Dick was one of the best. He must have had a part in helping to
build almost every Amsat satellite. I remember seeing photo's of him
and King next to AO-7 in the Satellite Experimenters Handbook, 1st.

Okay, I had a brain failure here (least I think so...)
I used my gmail address to register my station on the webpage, but used my
amsat address when the program started. I registered online weeks ago, so
when the registration page came up, I didn't even consider that it was
supposed to "match" to the website registration page.
Will know tomorrow, but that has to be my problem.
Makes sense...another "duh" moment :)

Look at the raw packets and check out how the temperature was falling.
I personally think the batteries froze up and the tracker shut down over
the Gulf.

I am passing this on to the BBS. I know it is short notice
but wanted to get it out. Craig (KL4E) will be working out of
Anchorage on site and I will be at my home QTH approx 70
air miles south on the Kenai Peninsula. Hope to make contact
with you.... These classes are put on by the Anchorage Amateur
Radio Club.

Hello Everyone>>>
As you can see from the message traffic below, we have been invited to
deliver a special satellite technology briefing and demonstration to a group
of
Anchorage Police who have signed up for Amateur Radio training. The plan, as
shown in red below is to attempt to make contacts on at least two passes on
SO-50 during the class period on the evening of the 16th and to conduct
classroom training between the appearances of the bird. We also plan to check
into the Anchorage area ARES Net on both 2M voice and packet at 8 PM AST in
the
midst of all the other activities!
If SO-50 is locally visible to you during the appropriate time frame, we
would like to ask you to please come up on this FM LEO and provide our new
hams
with some contacts so that they'll gain some knowledge and appreciation of
what
AMSAT and our ham radio satellites are all about.
Thank you so very much. Hope to hear you on the satellites really soon!
Best of 73s,
Craig, KL4E

All,
I did some work tonight calculating Eclipses and looking at differences in
elevation.
If you are interested in peer reviewing my calculations, please let me know
and I will send you some files.
