Hello everyone,
Here is a bit of news better sent now than waiting for the ANS news cycle:
Title: 'Blast Back to School' International Space Station Downlink and
Webcast
Date: Sept. 4, 2012
Time: 11:30-12:30 EDT
http://tinyurl.com/Sept4-ISS-Webcast (nasa.gov)
Join astronauts Suni Williams and Joe Acaba live from the International
Space Station, orbiting 250 miles above Earth. During this hour webcast,
students and the public will learn about life aboard the space station,
current research, and the path to becoming a NASA scientist, engineer or
astronaut. Also featured in the program are Ray Lugo, director of NASA's
Glenn Research Center, and astronaut Greg (Box) Johnson.

Good morning Amsat,
I have been struggling this morning to work SO-50 from an FT-847 and
wondering if I am missing something.
I had a 26deg pass today and could hear everyone fine.
I am transmitting on 145.8500 +/- auto Doppler correction. I am using PL
encode set in the radio on 67hz. I have the transmit on the subband and
receive on the main band.
Am I missing something simple? I couldn't seem to get into the satellite
today no matter what I did.
I have never been able to work SO-50. This same setup performed flawlessly
on AO-51. My only thought is the CTCSS tone is not being generated or is
not transmitting on the SUB Band? It does state ENC for Tone Encode on the
FT-847 sub band.
Curious what the list thinks I may have wrong? I really want to get active
on SO-50 for the rest of the summer.
Thanks for any thoughts, ideas, past gotchas, etc..
Mike

Hi Michael,
Are you using any software to work the Satellites?
For example Ham Radio Deluxe or SatPC32.
I tried to get it working with HRD and it is not possible on the other
hand
with SatPC32 it is working like a charm.
So give it a try

Mike,
Some FT-847s have been reported to be a bit flakey with SO-50. Others have
reported no problems. I have a different rig now, but my experience was
that it normally worked fine, but that every now and then I would get a pass
like yours. The PL deviation and frequency checked fine, so I never found
an explanation at the shack end.

Thanks!
The number of emails and letters I have received on that one alternative
emergency power article has been 20 times what I have ever received before
on any paper or article. The interesting thing is that it took 2 years
before QST published it.
In the original draft, I had indicated all kinds of ways to use the 300 to
500 VDC from ones home solar system, or the 300 to 500 VDC from their
Hybrid or EV or the 330 VDC that is inside every modern electronics system
or power supply to power all kinds of things during a power outage. But
QST was concerned that publishing anything with voltages over 12 volts was
too dangerous.
I guess it is easy to forget 40 years ago when the cubscout manual had
plans for every 8 year old to build a 2 tube radio set running on 150 VDC.
ANyway, to me, this whole new system of high voltage DC that surrounds us
and exists in EVERY modern electronics power supply is a field that is wide
open for all kinds of new ideas about power, and without a SINGLE POUND of
60 Hz iron.
It is still DANGEROUS, just like it was back in TUBE transmitters, but a
resistor and capacitor across any HV switch solves the FIRE problem, and
proper procedure solves the others. We should not hide from these dangers,
but learn to embrace them and use them to our advantage. Such as reducing
copper wire losses by a factor of 10 to 1 by simply running things (with
univeral input supplies) directly on 330 VDC ..
I ramble...
See my rambling web page that begins here: http://aprs.org/APRS-SPHEV.html
and then goes on to alternative energy and emergency Field Day power (from
hybrids)...
