I plan on being on FO29 in a couple hours from now. The footprint
will include primarily the western U.S. extreme (CA, NV, WA, OR)

Was monitoring STRaND-1 this evening during the 0433Z pass far over the
Pacific where I have an unobstructed view. STRaND-1 happened to be
transmitting at it's LOS which matches object 39092's predicted LOS and was
approximately a minute after object 39091 predicted LOS.
So, my vote is:
39092 = STRaND-1
39091 = AAUSAT-3

Yes, 2.4 GHz was very noisy. AMSAT Eagle was to use a 3.4 GHz high-speed
(0.5-1 Mbps) BPSK downlink. BPSK was chosen for maximum efficiency in the
PA. WiFi and WiMAX use complex modulation schemes that are optimized for
terrestrial applications where the signal is diffused and scattered by
nearby objects. This results in a PA DC to RF conversion efficiency of less
than 20%.

Another satellite comes back to life:

AO-7 isn't as old, but so far as we know, came back first. There is always
the question of how long this latest satellite has been transmitting before
somebody noticed.

In terms of noise a 3400-3410 MHz satellite band would have a lot going for
it, unfortunately it isn't a Global Amateur-satellite allocation - it's not
available in 1/3 of the World (Region 1).

RELEASE: 13-064
NASA ANNOUNCES FOURTH ROUND OF CUBESAT SPACE MISSION CANDIDATES
WASHINGTON -- NASA has selected 24 small satellites to fly as
auxiliary payloads aboard rockets planned to launch in 2014, 2015 and
2016. The proposed CubeSats come from universities across the
country, a Florida high school, several non-profit organizations and
NASA field centers.
CubeSats belong to a class of research spacecraft called
nanosatellites. The cube-shaped satellites measure about 4 inches on
each side, have a volume of about 1 quart, and weigh less than 3
pounds.
The selections are from the fourth round of the CubeSat Launch
Initiative. After launch, the satellites will conduct technology
demonstrations, educational research or science missions. The
selected CubeSats will be eligible for flight after final
negotiations and an opportunity for flight becomes available.
The following organizations submitted winning satellite proposals:
-- The Aerospace Corporation, El Segundo, Calif.
-- The Discovery Museum and Planetarium, Bridgeport, Conn.
-- Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Prescott, Ariz.
-- Morehead State University, Morehead, Ky., in partnership with the
University of California at Berkeley
-- Montana State University, Bozeman (2 CubeSats) in partnership with
The University of New Hampshire, Durham
-- Merritt Island High School, Florida, in partnership with California
Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo
-- NASA's Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, Calif.
-- NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md. (3 CubeSats)
-- NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., in partnership
with the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena (3 CubeSats)
-- NASA's Kennedy Space Center, Florida
-- Pennsylvania State University, in partnership with the Naval
Research Laboratory, Monterey, Calif., and the Aerospace Corporation,
El Segundo, Calif.
-- Saint Louis University, St. Louis
-- Tyvak Nano-Satellites Systems, Irvine, Calif., in partnership with
the California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo
-- University at Buffalo, The State University of New York
-- University of Colorado, Boulder
-- University of Florida, Gainesville, in partnership with Stanford
University
-- University of Maryland, Baltimore County
-- University of Texas, Austin
-- Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tenn., in partnership with the
Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation, Silver Spring, Md.
In the three previous rounds of the CubeSat initiative, NASA has
selected 63 missions for flight. The agency's Launch Services Program
Educational Launch of Nanosatellite (ELaNa) Program has launched 12
CubeSat missions. This year, 22 CubeSat missions are scheduled for
flight.

Hi all.
An interesting observation this morning (in CN87) I coppied OH5LK on FO-29
calling CQ in CW at about 1840Z while uplinking to AO-7. FO-29 was out of
LK's footprint at the time. So ground to sat-to sat-to ground was observed.
The downlink of AO-7 is the uplink of FO-29. To complete a qso in that mode
one to tx and rx at the same time on 70cm. The mind goes numb!
having fun
