Hi Folks,
?
Just for my own edification, what the heck was the noise on FO-29 around the
2020UTC pass today? Was that man made stuff or what? Some one playing
around, the Sat or? I'm still learning this stuff and I'm just curious.
?
73 and thank you

Was my CW that bad ;)
I was calling cq on voice then switched to CW until the end of the pass
near center of pass band but did not hear any others or strange noises.

I am pretty sure that was someone "keying" FM on and off, sounding a bit
like really bad code, or as some folks call "chirpy." I know, because I
made a few contacts on FO-20 that way before I got an SSB rig for 2m :-)

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Well,
I finely got everything done HTX 202 programmed for uplink (three element
yagi) and UV5R for the downlink (seven element yagi). Got the antennas on
the right heading or about and set the Elevation by my best guess. With my
compass I figured out that the bird will pass right to left.
So in about 31 minutes SO-50 will make a pass. The goal was to make sure my
radio are programmed right and see if I can hear the bird. If I do I post a
sound bite if not well I let up know I did not hear the bird and have to
figure out what I did wrong. I figure get good at hearing the bird for a
few passes then I try to make a contact. Hearing the bird is half the
battle.

Hi,
well I did not hear the bird. I did some recording with my phone(just to
make sure I understood how to record with it, never used that before now) it
works pretty good. But no receive. I can try in the morning on both SO-50
and AO-27. So not sure what I did wrong bet we try again in the morning. I
don't think I would heard anything on the night passes other wise I would
listen then to. Any one else in my neck of the Woods hear in Wisconsin that
enjoys the birds?

Amateur radio control operators will attempt to change the transmission mode
of AubieSat-1 this weekend to increase the quantity of telemetry. This
increased telemetry will provide data to indicate how well solar cell
protection is working. It should also provide additional onboard
housekeeping information.
Telemetry reception reports would be appreciated. Transmissions are CW and
formats and frequencies have been published previously on AMSAT-BB.
Downlink is on 70 cm. Reception results posted here to the BB will enable
data to be shared with everyone.
The orbits when commanding is planned are as follows:
09 June: 20:49-21:00 (MDT) Max Elev 50 deg
10 June: 10:09-10:23 (MDT) Max Elev 83 deg
11 June: 10:29-10:43 (MDT) Max Elev 61 deg
Commanding will be attempted from north central United States. Thanks and 73.

Hi all,
I do not remember when it started with an output frequency of 145.850 MHz.
Right on the uplink of AO-27 and SO-50.
It is probably more than a year ago.
Please can someone do something serious about it :-)
Yes - I know it is an other organization than the official IARU national
organization that is behind it.
I just listened to a pass of AO-27 and the repeater is a solid 59 copy on
the downlink.
Some of the real users had great difficulty using AO-27 :-(
Have a nice weekend all,

Hi all,
Just saw that AO-07 was in mode-B and checked it as well.
Yes - it is.
And it means that the order of the day changes.
Mode-A and mode-B will not change every day - but at random after an
eclipse.

Please no :-)
May be I should have said that it is IR0CK that is the problem.
If you Goggle IR0CH Echolink you will see a lot of mail about it
By the way I have received some other e-mails that have "solutions" which
need a United Nations Security Counsel agreement first :-)
Hope you still have a nice weekend.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
All,
I am beginning to prepare a presentation for my Club (The Thunderbird
Amateur Radio Club, www.w7tbc.org) on the basic engineering considerations
for amateur satellites. My original thought was to briefly discuss the
various engineering considerations and then look at how they are applied. I
am thinking in addition to tie this in to FOX, by discussing how AMSAT will
solve engineering issues on the FOX series of sats. I think this approach
will help make the concepts clear, while also serving to promote FOX.
With this in mind, I'd like to know if anyone on the FOX team would be
willing to field questions from me during as I prepare the presentation, to
make sure I get it complete and right.
I also wonder if it would be possible to arrange to have the Fox-1 Model
made available to me when I give the presentation? What hoops do I need to
jump through to make that happen? (The presentation will be given in mid
October)
Thanks in advance for any assistance offered.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Good Morning,
First I want to take a moment to say thank you to those that sent me
off list E mails with advice. I have a couple tweaks I have been thinking
on. One is due to easier set up. setting up my 3 element yagi & my 70CM 6
element yagi @ 90 degrees to each other. Still using two radio's so I can be
full duplex. What are peoples thoughts as to setting my antennas up 90
degrees to each other?
The other thought is that I have what I call a "ball" compass there is
North, South, East & West on the top & the same on the side with degree
marks on it. All I need now is something to tell me how many degrees up from
the horizon I am. I thought if I could find something to print out with
degrees to scale on it and put that on a piece of cardboard, wood or
something. Then take a string & put washers on it to act as a counter
weight. The string would stay in the same place but the scale would move as
I point the tripod up or down. Then I would read it to know how many
degrees up or down I am from the horizon. The problem is I don't know what
there called so I am not sure what to search on google to find the scale.
What is that called?
