For those who are interested in reading about a portable setup, my
article called "A Multi-purpose Portable Setup" can be found at
http://ivok.home.xs4all.nl/pa1ivo/portable_satellite_setup.html.
The article already appeared in the March 2012 issue of the AMSAT-DL
Journal and later in two issues of OSCAR NEWS (July and September 2012),
but the on-line version includes some more images (and can be read in
one go :-) ).

Hello Andy and Mike
It is a great CAT interface for satellites. It prevents the constant
toggling between VFO A and VFO B while receiving, so you will have a normal
reception without "holes" in the signal and it always will prevent burn the
preamplifier.
I constructed the interface and made the case using an empty electric tape
box. I have tested it on FO-29 and VO-52 and it works Excellent! I use it in
my portable operations running half-duplex with my FT-817nd.
I have the following information from the AMSAT NEWS SERVICE
(ANS-351).
To order please send the following either by mail or email as follows:
+ Your name and shipping address
+ Phone number and email address
+ Item you are requesting
+ Enclose a check for the appropriate amount, payable to ARRL
ETP, sent to attention of ARRL Education Services
Send orders to:

Please contact Amy in ARRL Education Services at astrickland@xxxx.xxx

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Hello All,
This may be old news, but I
came across this from:
http://www.kosmonauta.net/menu-bezzalogowe/menu-artykuly-bezzalogowe/orbitalne
-bz/4709-2012-10-11-pw-sat
The following is a google translation
(a little rough but you can get the idea):
-----------------------------------------------
Since our last report on the PW-Sat
satellite, it's been five months.
What has happened with the first
Polish satellite in the meantime?
PW-Sat - the first Polish satellite
and the first Polish satellite
student - was placed in orbit
13 February 2012. The satellite was
released from the P-POD tray about
70 minutes after launch Vega rocket,
which is at about 12:10 CET. The
original orbit of the satellite is
about 310 x 1442 km. The first
signal from the PW-Sat has already
taken an hour after the release of
the tray P-POD, during his first
flight over the Polish. The signal
received from the radio amateurs
all over the world.
Then began the work of
PW-SATEMA in orbit. The first
week passed on listening
satellites. Then studied the
satellite parameters and
assumptions were verified. In
the coming weeks, a team of
students from the Warsaw
University of Technology,
tested the different modes of
operation PW-SATA, which is
one of the goals of this
project. Satellite work
properly, and then it seemed
like before Easter this year
should lead to the development
of the tail PW-SAT. That did
not happen - it turned out that
during the first work of
PW-SATEMA were used in a large
amount of stored energy in the
batteries satellites.
In May, there is information
that will be renewed attempt
to open a satellite tail.
Unfortunately, in the coming
weeks, the operation failed.
Currently (11 October 2012)
PW-Sat still stays in orbit
without the striped tail.
Satellite works, although it
is quite a serious problem
with the communication system,
which is probably a bug in the
hardware (there were similar
failures with other users of
the equipment). This problem
very limited communication
capabilities of PW-SATEMA.
Soon to be published instructions
for amateurs - perhaps because
it can be spread tail PW-Sata
- are, therefore, still some
chance of achieving this mission.
Currently, the mission met PW-Sat
to 4 of 7 total goals of the
expedition. The fifth goal was
partially completed. It is
therefore clear that the mission
PW-Sat, despite the difficulties,
already can be considered a
great success. On the basis of
experience - the positive and
the negative - it will be
possible to conduct further
advanced projects. Warsaw
University of Technology
recently sent a request to the
mission PW-Sat 2 to the
European Space Agency (ESA),
which offers a small gathering
a CubeSat mission. It was one
of two or three (edit - the
source of a comment below this
article) CubeSatowych Polish
projects submitted to the ESA.
(IAC 2012, Maciej Urbanowicz)
--------------------------------
The catolog number of PW-Sat is 38083.
It beacons irregularly in daylight on 145.902.
I have not listened for it for several weeks.
It enters an eclipse free period from
Dec 29, 2012 to Jan. 13, 2013 so the next
couple of weeks would be a good time to
give a listen. This satellite carries an
AO-16 style transponder, but given the
power and commanding issues, it does not
look like it will ever be turned on.

Thanks Armando.
I believe their original plans were to de-orbit the spacecraft around
February. I'm presuming from the Google translation that the failure to
deploy the "Tail" means they are unable to de-orbit as planned ?
I guess this means it may remain in space until the orbit decays naturally.
PW-SAT has the capability of acting as an FM to DSB (U/V) transponder.
