Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
Hi,
In august 2010 object 09038F ANDE-2 Castor satellite decayed.
It was using an experimental 1200 bauds AX.25 packet beacon
with Forward Error Corrections : FX.25 frames.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FX.25_Forward_Error_Correction
I am interested in doing some experiment with FX.25 and looking
for some source code for encoding and decoding FX25.
In a message from Mike DK3VN on Google group forum
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/fx25/R9gXJUe_NKU/3beFwRP5R8kJ
there is a citation of a file called rs_decode_avr2.tar but no link.
Stensat page "FX.25 on air performance" dated 2007
http://eludium.stensat.org/mcguire/projects/FX-25/
has links for files FX-25_enc_03.c and FX-25_extract.c
However these are probably alpha or beta versions and are not
fully operational.
Can someone provide some clues toward more up-to-date FX.25 sources ?

(Curmudgeon mode on!)
1. I tried to get NPR interested in doing a story about the launch of
AMSAT-Phase 3D back in 2000. They did not think that a 600 kilogram satellite
with a hypergolic propulsion system, built by volunteer labor from a dozen
different countries, financed by a multimillion dollar budget contributed in
$50 or $100 increments from hams around the world, was worth doing a story
about, but let someone put a cell phone in a cubesat and they think that is a
big deal.
2. Cell phones are consumer devices, exquisitely engineered for mass
production with reasonably high reliability at minimum per unit cost. Consumer
electronics is a highly specialized area of engineering, but so is space
flight hardware. Using consumer electronic devices in a space flight
environment is a misapplication of engineering principles and is destined to
be a technological dead-end. The excuse that the satellite is only intended to
last for a short time is rather lame, as is the waste of valuable launch
vehicle capacity that could be better used by more serious missions.
AMSAT has a dedicated team of highly competent engineers who can supply
inexpensive computers and radios that are specifically engineered for space
flight, yet we still have cubesat groups buying off the shelf HT's and
removing them from the plastic case for installation on their cubesat because
they just don't know any better. Apparently neither does NASA.
3. AMSAT-UK had two news items in the last bulletin: "PhoneSat CubeSats with
Ham Radio Payloads Launched" and "CubeSats with Ham Radio Payloads Deployed"
referring to the BeeSat and SOMP CubeSats.
None of these satellites carry a ham radio transponder. None of them support
ham radio communications. The mere fact that a satellite transmits telemetry
on ham radio frequencies does not make it a "Ham Radio satellite". That term
should be reserved for satellites that support the purpose of amateur radio,
which is two-way communications between radio amateurs.
NASA's own PhoneSat press release says that "These satellites were built by
NASA civil servants and contractor employees from USRA and SGT." They weren't
built by hams, and they don't serve ham radio.
The 435 MHz band does belong to the government as the primary user, and we
hams will have access to the band only as long as the government remains as
the primary user. If Congress orders the band to be auctioned to commercial
interests we will lose the use of it for sure. If NASA needs to use it for
telemetry downlink because of the ease of licensing, availability of low cost
equipment from the ham radio market, and worldwide availability of hams who
may be interested in receiving and forwarding their telemetry, then go ahead
and use the amateur satellite band. Just don't call it a "Ham Radio
satellite".

Hi Folks,
Has anyone got any ideas which sats would be good to listen for this week
end on two metres; we will be doing some antennas tests.
The list I've compiled so far is surprisingly small, eg ISS, Delfi C3.
I dont think UO-11 is audible at present (in eclipse), and I think all of
the following are not now available for one reason or another.: FASTTRAC 1
and 2, VO-52, NO-44
I'd be very grateful for any suggestions of other sats we could listen for
on 2 metres.

Just received The TurkSat CW beacon and some TX that looks like 9k6 from

I did record TurkSat and will be posting the MP3 soon.

The first half of the pass we were adjusting to the two tone CW. Then we
tried if the transponder was on, which was not the case. I cut out this
part of the pass.The second half is afterwards.
In the mean time I was trying to RX CubeBug-1, but had the TNC on 1200bd. I
did hear some noise increase resembling 9k6 G3RUH FSK.

Hi my friends !
I was preparing to listen the next pass, orbit nr 16160, of Hope-1
HO-68, the beacon of which is on 435.790 MHz when by chance, I came
across another CW beacon about 10 kHz higher transmitting numbers at about
25 wpm. The max Doppler shift was at about 0919 UTC from my location in
the North of France and the "time if flight" perhaps 15 mn, something like
that.
I just had time to record the weak (with my poor devices) signal, sound
and spectrogram. With the Doppler shift, at 0926 UTC the frequency of this
bird beacon crossed the one of Hope-1 producing an beautiful auditive
interference and, on the spectrogram, a nice picture.
Any ideas ? As many birds was launched these last days, maybe one of
them ?
Best 73 !

Hi Jim,
VO-52 is OK with the Dutch transponder on and the corresponding beacon at
145.862 MHz.
Passes late afternoon and evenings (or early mornings).
The frequency may vary 1 to 2 kHz.
2 meter downlink antenna is LHCP.
Good luck and have a nice weekend.

I dont think UO-11 is audible at present (in eclipse), and I think all of
the following are not now available for one reason or another.: FASTTRAC 1
and 2, VO-52, NO-44
I'd be very grateful for any suggestions of other sats we could listen for
on 2 metres.
73s
