Hi Bill and Other Folks,
To decode STRaND-1:
1-Sprint-2 TNC at 9600 baud in KISS mode (or any 9600 in KISS mode probably)
For software, thank DK3WN of course!
2-Using this software to capture:

Two additional points, speaking as someone who's mechanical fabrication &
coding skills are equally lacking (downside of systems engineering is you
understand the functional flows, associated diagrams, requirements
boundaries, etc. quite well, but need a bit more than a book of "the system
shall..." statements to accomplish anything!).
The WA5VJB "Cheap Yagi" designs are ridiculously easy to build [the most
complex tool is a guide to keep a hand drill perpendicular if you lack a
drill press]; given the relatively lower gain required for LEO satellites,
it would cheap & easy to build a higher-gain version of the Arrow (I am
1/2-way there) or pairs of LHCP and RHCP antennas and switch to one or the
other rather that at the phasing harness level. They are not as-is rugged
enough for permanent installation, but I think the design could be
adapted. There is a DK-something in Germany who has published a wealth of
high-performance designs that are suitable for permanent installation if
you select the right components. In emails with WA5VJB, he mentioned to
me that the performance of the Arrow is very suboptimal. That's one reason
why smaller (fewer elements) designs often outperform the Arrow. [Not that
I dislike the Arrow, I have one & it works.] I think he's discussed this
in CQ Magazine or CQ-VHF.
It is a tempting design project to acquire surplus drive motors and
fabricate a mechanical system and remote/computer control (and I'm semi
surprised the VHF/UHF rover community hasn't done more with this), and it
is something I'd like to do myself; I'll note however that the Yaesu az/el
rotor controller draws very little power - a small inverter was sufficient
to run mine for Field Day last year. Further, Bob Brunginga (WA4APR) has
noted that an azimuth-only station can be quite sufficient for at least
getting started with LEO satellites. Something to keep in mind, depending
where the resource budget falls in terms of manpower vs. money.
Historically, AMSAT has opted for the people time are cheaper than dollars.
I look forward to seeing what you find out, Samudra, and hope you are able
to attend the DC portable satellite meeting the end of March.

Hello Mark and other folks,
I used the object F. I had to calibrate the automatic Doppler correction
two times on the pass but AOS and LOS times were quite accurate.
I will try to decode the next pass.

Congrats, Hector.
I printed several STRaND-1 packets and need to figure out what to do with
them ;)
Which TLEs did you use? Based on timestamps and scrolling time back in
SatPC32, it looks to me like the bird might be behind the pre-launch keps
I'm using. Meaning, I see packets time stamped at the predicted LOS. I was
NOT in the shack, but that's my guess based on time stamps.

On the 22:36 UTC pass both STRaND-1 and AAUSAT3 have been heard in

Hello list,
I am looking for an IC-970 (preferably H), admittedly not an easy find
these days.
I will be glad to pay a little extra to cover for the hassle of
international shipping (in fact, the only hassle is having to compile a
customs declaration, but still...), plus, obviously, the full shipping
expenses.
Thanks andd 73.

Hi all,
Having posted out my congratulations to all involved in the success of the
launch which was very impressive
and tribute to the many parties concerned.
I would like to add congratulations also to the project teams involved with
the payloads and of course they
concern many aspects of research as well as our amateur satellite projects.
I was pleased to also learn of the success of the activation of AAUSAT-3
which I understand has far exceeded expectations in the first 24 hours of
operation. Congratulations to all concerned.
I do not know if others are aware but the project team were at one point
willing to offer to approved radio
amateurs a "Blue Box" to participate in the work that they are carrying
out.
A very nice gesture and good luck to anyone having the good fortune to be
part of this data gathering.

Gus,
Most (all?) pages which at one time linked to other data bases are broken in
this way. There is, behind the scenes, a major effort to migrate to a new
platform, and this is certainly an important function which will be there.
Judging by the calls and emails to the AMSAT office, this feature is
probably the one most people miss. It will take more time to do this, but
the results will be a more modern, capable, and maintainable web site. We
regret the delay and inconvenience.

Alan,
I knew the site was experiencing difficulties. I was not aware of the
nature or extent of these difficulties. My post was not in the nature
of a complaint. I was just drawing attention to an error which I
thought /might/ have gone so far unnoticed.
Good luck to the development team -- I look forward to the new and
enhanced site.
Regards...

Gus,
Don't worry, it was not taken as a complaint. All too many times I have
found that nobody reported a problem because they assumed that somebody else
did, so thanks for taking the time to do so.
There is an excellent team working the problem. Fortunately, a major
upgrade was being developed, with the intent of having it ready for a
cutover with no interruption of service. Unfortunately the security breach
forced taking down the old system on short notice.
73s,
Alan

Alan,
I knew the site was experiencing difficulties. I was not aware of the
nature or extent of these difficulties. My post was not in the nature
of a complaint. I was just drawing attention to an error which I
thought /might/ have gone so far unnoticed.
Good luck to the development team -- I look forward to the new and
enhanced site.
Regards...

Glen,
The page itself comes up fine, though there is an error message at the
bottom. Did you hit PREDICT? That should give you a blank page, except for
another error message.
