I am curious as to how they are controlling the HF beacons, as a beacon may
not be automatically controlled below 28.200 MHz (Part 97.203(d)). So do
they have a control link, or are they operating with no control?
Or did they receive a waiver from the FCC?
George, KA3HSW

All
I remember those days as an SWL when KCNA messages (amongst others) flowed
across the monitor screen in green letters... if you have nostalgia for
those days and are also interested in the planned polar orbiter then I've
just prdcuced these extracts from the KCNA news flow.
They suggest that there will be a launch of a polar-orbiter weather
satellite around April 15th and that they have notified the relevant
authorities about it. Would someone like to do a FOIA request for a copy of
their notification?
If there is a bird and she is a polar orbiter transmitting data maybe it'll
be in APT format, although I think the recent Russian launches are in a
format incomprehensible to anyone else, so would not guarantee it.
Press propaganda follows:
BEGINS........................................................................

DPRK to Launch Application Satellite
?
?
Pyongyang, March 16 (KCNA) -- The DPRK is to launch a working satellite,
Kwangmyongsong-3, manufactured by itself with indigenous technology to mark
the 100th birth anniversary of President Kim Il Sung.
A spokesman for the Korean Committee for Space Technology said this in a
statement Friday.
After successfully launching two experimental satellites, DPRK scientists
and technicians have steadily conducted scientific researches to develop and
utilize working satellites indispensable for the country's economic
development in line with the government's policy for space development and
peaceful use.
Through the researches they have made a drastic progress in the field of
space science and technology and laid solid material and technological
foundations for working satellite launches and operation.
Kwangmyongsong-3, a polar-orbiting earth observation satellite, will be
blasted off southward from the Sohae Satellite Launching Station in Cholsan
County, North Phyongan Province between April 12 and 16, lifted by carrier
rocket Unha-3.
A safe flight orbit has been chosen so that carrier rocket debris to be
generated during the flight would not have any impact on neighboring
countries.
The DPRK will strictly abide by relevant international regulations and usage
concerning the launch of scientific and technological satellites for
peaceful purposes and ensure maximum transparency, thereby contributing to
promoting international trust and cooperation in the field of space
scientific researches and satellite launches.
The upcoming launch will greatly encourage the army and people of the DPRK
in the building of a thriving nation and will offer an important occasion of
putting the country's technology of space use for peaceful purposes on a
higher stage.
?
KCNA Reports about Preparations for Satellite Launch
?
?
Pyongyang, March 17 (KCNA) -- The Korean Central News Agency issued the
following report on Saturday:
The relevant bodies of the DPRK sent necessary information to the
International Civil Aviation Organization, the International Maritime
Organization, the International Telecommunication Union and others according
to international regulations and procedures as part of the preparations for
the launch of earth observation satellite Kwangmyongsong-3.
The Korean Committee for Space Technology will invite experienced foreign
experts on space science and technology and journalists to visit the Sohae
Satellite Launching Station, the General Satellite Control and Command
Centre and other places and observe its launch.
?
Pyongyang, March 26 (KCNA) -- Scientific researches for accurate weather
forecast are being intensified in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
Pang Sun Nyo, an office head of the Hydro-meteorological Service, told KCNA:
The Service is developing varieties of apparatuses conducive to the accurate
and prompt weather forecast.
Among them is an advanced geostationary meteorological satellite data
receiver. This helps put the weather observation on a more scientific basis.
The apparatuses also include updated automatic weather survey devices and
aerological weather radar.
The Service has upgraded the data-receiving and numerical weather forecast
system aimed to comprehensively use weather data from GTS run by the World
Meteorological Organization (WMO).
The study of devastating weather phenomena such as torrential rain and
drought has also been made.
In particular, Kwangmyongsong-3, a working satellite to be launched in
April, will be greatly helpful to the study of weather forecast needed for
agriculture and other economic fields.
Meanwhile the Service has stepped up the exchange of weather data and the
study into registration of climate changes for coming 100 years in
cooperation with the WMO to prevent local climate disasters.
The DPRK joined the WMO in Juche 64 (1975).?

On another list it was mentioned that they use the 10 MHz band for control
purposes.
They apparently are using a Small Wonder Labs QRP transceiver and the
onboard microcomputer decodes CW commands.

Hello,
Some time ago I found a muTek GLNA432e at eBay. It was inadvertently
advertised as a 144 MHz unit and was also supplied with a SBLA144e
schematic. So
I'm at a loss how to troubleshoot this nonworking unit. I have searched the
net but found nothing useful. If anyone knows anything about this unit, e.g.,
transistor used or even better the schematic, please let me know. It is a
vintage well built 1983 unit with RF sense switching so I really would like
to get it up and running.
Thanks
Ben AB4AB

Wanna bet that something happens to the "satellite" and it never reaches orbit
or becomes functional, or that there is some "failure" during the flight
(after
they've proven their long-range missile) that requires self-destruct?
