Just now on AO-7 I heard a terrestrial station (DL on LSB) working a contest
of some sort. He was pretty weak here, but thought I copied G4VF? His
frequency would have been 432.160 or so. Always interesting hearing the
unintentional sat ops...reminds me of RS-12/13.

Hi Drew et al.
I have heard the same thing when there is a UHF contest going on. I try to
send the station a email that he was loud and clear on satellite AO-7.
Hoping that may nudge some satellite interest. Last couple of passes on AO-7
were very favorable from CN87 (Seattle) to Northern Europe. No one at home
not even Mika.

Drew,

This evening was the 70cms RSGB Contest (UKAC) so most likely have been one
of the stations taking part in that.

I can recall (many years ago) during a perigee pass of AO-13 over SA, I
could clearly hear SA stations working terrestrial UHF FM, mobile, with
the satellite on the omni antennas.  Perhaps I should have sent out QSL
cards with SWL reports, just to encourage those operators to consider
the possibility of raising their eyes above the horizon.....

There was a Nordic VUSHF-Activity Contest going on last tuesday.
NAC-contest is periodically every tuesday on 18:00 - 22:00 UTC.
Every first tuesday a month is 144MHz, second tuesday 432MHz, third Tuesday
1296, fourth tuesday 2,3GHz and UP.
There are also many european contest at the same time.

So the contest stations were uplinked unintentionally by AO-7.

Hi Gus, 8P6SM and all

I remember in 1961 I was listening a night for OSCAR-7 mode A
in 10 meters between 29.400 to 29.500 MHz when I got a very
strong signal in SSB from a station in North Italy talking in italian
in a familiar like local QSO with a station in Asuncion Paraguay
South America.

Since the ionosferic propagation do not permitted to a signal in
North Italy to be received so strong by me in South Italy in 10 meters
at that time I realized that the North italian station was transmitting
terrestrial in 15 meters uplinking RS-13 between 21.260 to 21.300
MHz and that it was translated by RS-13 operating in mode K with
downlink in 10 meters.

As soon the North italian station stopped to transmit in order to
listen for the station in Paraguay I was able to get the signal from
the guy in  Asuncion very week and with strong QSB because
his signal transmitted in 21 MHz was received via ionospheric
propagation  by RS-13 over Europe and than translated in 10 meters.

A look at InstantTrack confirmed that RS-13 was overhead to me
at that time

Nice to remember those funny days !

Don't forget the ARISS contact at PACIFICON can be heard live on the AMSAT
Echolink conference server and on IRLP node 9010 and on the web at
sites.google.com/arissaudio

AOS is 1857 UTC coverage on echolink and web will start about 20minutes
prior and about 6 minutes prior on irlp.

Hello again AMSAT-BB and AMSAT-EDU,

As mentioned in the recent AMSAT-ANS and a few previous messages, this
weekend (12-14 October) will be the 2012 PACIFICON at Santa Clara, CA.
 AMSAT members and officers will be participating in various venues.
Here are further highlights:

1.  An ARISS Contact with the ISS via telebridge to Italy will be held
on 13 OCT at 11:57am Pacific time, thanks to Joe Spier, K6WAO
(Associate Director of Education for AMSAT).  Youth attending the
event will be asking questions to Aki Hoshide aboard the ISS.

    NASA astronaut Dr. Lee Morin, KF5DBB, will be present as well,
thanks to ARRL!   See
   
http://www.arrl.org/news/arrl-welcomes-nasa-astronaut-lee-morin-kf5ddb-to-2012
-national-convention

   ARRIS guru Kenneth Ransom, N5VHO will also be in attendance

The audio from this ARISS contact will be fed into  EchoLink *AMSAT*
(101377) and *JK1ZRW* (277208) servers

IRLP Node 9010 Discovery Reflector Streaming Audio at
https://sites.google.com/site/arissaudio/

Audio on Echolink & web stream is generally transmitted around 20 minutes
prior to the contact taking place so that you can hear some of the
preparation that occurs. IRLP will begin just prior to the ground station
call to the ISS.

Please note that on Echolink there are automatic breaks of 1.5 seconds in
the audio transmission. These occur every 2.5 minutes during the event.
Breaks on IRLP are manual and occur approximately after every third
question.

** Contact times are approximate. If the ISS executes a reboost or other
manoeuvre, the AOS (Acquisition Of Signal) time may alter by a few minutes
** (Special thanks to John - AG9D for providing the audio feeds!)

2.. An AMSAT Table will be present, thanks to Alan Bowker, WA6DNR

3.  Several Youth lounge activities will take place:
      Fox-1 Cubesat paper models with EMike McCardel, KC8YLD
      Cubesat simulator demonstration with Dale Hunzeker, KJ6VUC

4.  AMSAT Forums on Saturday with talks by:
     AMSAT President Barry Baines, WD4ASW
     AMSAT VP for Education Mark Hammond, N8MH
     AMSAT Assoc. Director for Education, Joe Spier, K6WAO
     NASA astronaut Dr. Lee Morin, KF5DBB

Hope we see some of you there.  And don't forget the on the air satellite
demos!

73,

Satellite	Demos this weekend
Message-ID: <8CF7524FEF0C16E-E80-298F2@xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxx.xxx.xxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"


Greetings from CM97,

PACIFICON/ARRL National Convention is coming this weekend to Santa Clara,
CA.  Friday October 12 to Sunday October 14.
I will be presenting satellite demos at the convention and will be able to
use the W1AW/6 callsign.
I was planning on AO-27 for almost half of the passes but it's not looking
very favorable at this point.
Thus, it looks like all the passes may be on the linear birds FO-29 and AO-07.

I will be helping with registration duties with our radio club, the Mount
Diablo Amateur Radio Club, who is the sponsor of PACIFICON.
I will be working each morning till noon.  With the MDARC meeting Friday
night and the banquet on Saturday night, this leaves only the afternoons for
sat demos.
Looking over the pass predictions, including AO-27, it looks like there are
10 good passes for demos.
Without AO-27 it looks like we're down to 6 good demo passes.  These are
listed below:

Friday, October 12:
11:57 AM PDT - 1857 UTC - FO-29
 1:42 PM PDT - 2042 UTC - FO-29

 Saturday, October 13:

For  FO-29 & AO-07, I will try to start out around 10 kHz +/- above the
center of the transponder (435.860 MHz & 145.960 MHz).

If you hear W1AW/6 on any of these passes, please call and be a part of the
demonstrations.
Please QSL via ARRL W1AW/6, 225 Main St, Newington, CT 06111 (please include
a self-addressed, stamped envelope).
QSOs will also be uploaded to Logbook of the World by ARRL after PACIFICON.

I will try to work some other passes as time permits but no guarantee.
Sorry that there might not be any FM passes but this will be a good excuse
to try the linear birds if you haven't alredy tried.
I'll be using a dual Yaesu FT-817 setup, netbook/SatPC32 controlled, with an
Arrow antenna.

Hope to make contact with you from W1AW/6!

73's,
Tom Deeble, KA6SIP

P.S.  Sorry for the late posting of this, but I was hoping that AO-27 would
be back online before I sent this out.  We could sure use AO-51 right now!
