Liquid gasket pro seal would probably do the trick.

I got a flat-sided plastic dustbin deep enough to shield both AZ and EL
rotors, when placed upside down over them. Two holes were cut and the
cross-boom fed through. It is not enough to keep the rotors completely
dry, but sufficient to keep 98% of the lashing, tropical deluge off.
Added bonus: by tucking the AG-25/35 preamps right up under the AZ
rotor, it offered them some protection as well.

You'll need to download the SDR# program, and possibly a driver for your PC.
They don't receive below about 70MHz, so shortwave is not an option.

Bernhard,
?
That would explain it since it was right around 435.790 when
I first heard it. It really must move quickly based on the rate
of the Doppler change. Too bad it's not working now since
it is so strong.
?
Thanks for the info.

You might have heard HO-68's telemetry beacon.? Its official name is
Xi Wang-1, which would explain the "XW" at the end of the CW sequence.
I recall that each beacon transmission began with an
identification--its callsign, I think.

AMSAT Store Sells Out of Initial Supply of Broadband Preamps
The initial run of broadband preamps have been sold. We expect to have more
available relatively soon. The first few will be
used to cover existing orders.
When they are available for purchase, they will be on the AMSAT store, and
announcements will be made though AMSAT media. Thanks to all who have ordered
them, and by doing so supported AMSAT operations!
[ANS thanks Alan, WA4SCA, for the above information]
---------------------------------------------------------------------
FITSAT-1 LED Schedules
Flashing LED plan was based on the weather:
14th Jan. 04:57:30 - 04:59:30 UTC North Italy (10Hz Green)
14th Jan. 11:03:30 - 11:05:30 UTC Central USA (10Hz Green)
15th Jan. 22:27:30 - 22:29:30 UTC Wulmuqi China (10Hz Green)
17th Jan. 20:22:30 - 20:24:30 UTC Central India (10Hz Green)
19th Jan. 03:19:30 - 03:21:30 UTC North Italy (10Hz Green)
The magnitude of flashing NIWAKA has been observed to be approximately 7 to 8.
The light is faint.

NASA Announces Student Internships for Summer
College Level Internships
-------------------------
NASA says they are accepting applications for college level summer internship
positions among several NASA field centers. "But don't wait until the
deadline," advises NASA mentor and fellow AMSAT member, Pat Kilroy, N8PK.
"The
opportunities to work on a CubeSat team, for example, are exciting but pretty
competitive."
It is thought that students who know the "AMSAT way" and who have an Amateur
Radio license and some hands on experience have a distinct advantage in the
midst of such competition. "That worked for me," said Pat.
Students can view opportunities and apply for them in one place. To start,
the
prospective student should go to:
https://intern.nasa.gov/
then click the Student Opportunities tab then select Internships, which will
bring you to the OSSI:NIFS page describing the overall internship program.
Using the Search Opportunities tab from there,
scroll down to the bottom for the
"Enter keywords" box and enter "cubesat" without the quotes to view the
variety
of different opportunities in this field.
Pat Kilroy will be the lead mentor for two of the opportunities described.
The
first, under the title of "CubeSat Engineering Design Team Project,"
applicants
are called to develop a CubeSat spacecraft bus (i.e., the solar panel and
battery charging, power regulation and distribution "EPS" subsystem, the RF
communications "COM" subsystem, the command and data handling/processing
avionics "C&DH" subsystem, the attitude determination and control "ADAC"
subsystem, and the mechanical structures "MECH" subsystem) and one instrument
(i.e., a camera/telescope payload). Hardware and software skills will be well
represented. The team will need a student Systems Engineer as well. Each
intern
will consult with a NASA engineer in their area of specialty throughout the
summer.
In the second, under the title "PICetSat Module
Development," one or two student
interns are called to perform any of a number of
tasks, including one to develop
a "dual-use" ground station for CubeSats and high-altitude balloon and
sounding
rocket experiments. This task will involve satellite and balloon tracking, RF
systems, test equipment and antennas and antenna control automation.
Additional details are available on the OSSI:NIFS site including how to
contact
the lead mentor for technical questions, and the procedure on how to apply for
one of these Goddard Greenbelt positions as well as many others.
High School Internship Applications at NASA
-------------------------------------------
The application process for high school students to apply for a summer
internship can be found on the same OSSI:NIFS Web site as given above for the
summer at one of many locations around the country. As noted in the
opportunity description already mentioned, up to two local high school seniors
will be selected to participate on the CubeSat team in Greenbelt.
[ANS thanks NASA for the above information.]
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Upcoming ARISS Contact Schedule
Saint Rose Elementary School, Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada, direct via
VE9LC contact is a go for: Thu 2013-01-17 13:40:24 UTC 60 deg
All dates and times listed follow International Standard ISO 8061 date and
time
format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS
Note, all times are approximate. It is
recommended that you do your own orbital
prediction or start listening about 10 minutes before the listed time.
Total number of ARISS ISS to earth school events is 786.
Each school counts as 1 event.
+++++++++++++++++
US Hams, don?t forget that there is a new process for US school proposals.
For
US schools to have an ARISS contact, they must
fill out a proposal, submit it to
NASA, and see if they are approved or not. Once
a school is approved and put on
the list, an ARISS mentor will be assigned to assist the school.
NASA will have two open windows a year for
schools to submit a proposal.You must
go through NASA to get the proposal material. Contact Teaching From Space, a
NASA Education office, at JSC-TFS-ARISS@xxxx.xxxx.xxx or by calling them at
(281) 244-2320.
The following US states and entities have never had an ARISS contact:
Arkansas,
Connecticut, Delaware, Kansas, Louisiana, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South
Dakota, Vermont, West Virginia, Wyoming, American
Samoa, Guam, Northern Marianas
Islands, and the Virgin Islands.

Hi,
Just a note to say that there will be a series of updates coming out in the
next few weeks which will introduce some of the most popular feature
requests.
Also a quick heads up to say that once these are done we will be
introducing a paid HamSatDroidPlus version which will have a richer
interface targeted at both phones and tablets, where a proportion of the
price will go to the AMSAT-UK Satellite Building Fund.
More details on this to come. However, if you would like to make
suggestions for functionality they will be gratefully received.
Something we and others need is a web service that provides a catalog of
not just Keps but also satellite capabilities.... Not a textual version but
one that can be consumed by other web services. I've got a bare-bones
version working but would be happy to collaborate.

Does anyone know what the conversion spec is? What input range maps to
what output range? Seems like a most basic spec, but I can't find it
anywhere.

Right, I got that part. But what is the input range? Does it cover DC to
100Mhz continuous? Down to 160 meters? AM broadcast? VLF? Sensitivity?
Image rejection?
It's nice to know that it uses it has a PTC fuse on the USB port, but for
an RF device, their top level description is lacking a lot of RF
information.

Hi David,
I sent you an email some days ago with some suggestions...
The thing I am missing most is a feature to select just a few satellites to
quickly predict one or the other without having to work with the full list.
I think a way to select the so50, vo52, ao7 and iss, for example, would be
great!
Some kind of notification to be alerted of a pass in advance a configurable
time ... would be also nice!
thanks for your software!
