First of all congratulations to the entire Fox team. I know that
everyone is excited about the possibility of another FM bird in the near
future.
As for Ham-TV, I agree that more information about the ground station
requirements would be most welcome. I just managed to win a TechnoTrend
S2-1600
HDTV satellite PCI Card on ebay ($60 bucks with shipping) so I hope this
is a good start on a complete station.
The next hurdle for me will be assembling a workable antenna and I
assume an AZ/EL rotor with automatic tracking? It does seem like
information is incomplete
considering how close to the go live date we are. I know that this type
of digital TV is in wide use in Europe, so maybe some of these folks can
lend the yanks
a hand?

I only heard the beacon during the first few orbits, transponder hasn't been

Hello everyone!
2 questions:
1) is anyone hearing the beacon on TURKSAT?
2) if so, what TLE's are you using?
I did not have things set up right after the launch so I missed out on the
initial beacon that was heard by many around the world.
thanks,

Thanks Emanuele,
The last part of your message is actually the most important part. Watching
the ISS astronauts talking to schools and having a video feed is great.
However, looking at schedules and available downlinks for NA and or Europe,
they are limited and might not really much worth of an investment for most
ham operators. On the other hand having a more or less constant feed like
the APRS would be outstanding. In addition, it would be even better to have
the system connected to an outside pointing camera to get constant feeds on
the earth while the ISS is flying overhead. That's a huge incentive, at
least for me. Hope that is in the plans somehow.

Hi Les and all,
I would not jump into any kind of advanced purchase or antenna assembly etc
on the ISS TV program at this point.
1. It will take considerable time to get the equipment up, installed,
tested, verified etc.
2. If the primary use is for ISS school contacts, you are limited to
scheduling, ISS visibility at your location etc.
3. Downconverter options are very limited right now since they have to
match the DVB-S receiver input frequency.
4. Limited choice of 1m+ dishes with LHCP antenna feeds tuned to the
proposed ISS frequencies.
All of this will change over time once more information becomes available
and folks/vendors are starting to look into this and more products/tools
become available. Also, there might be a more permanent feed of video not
just limited to school contacts. We will see.
Will be very interesting to see/hear what info is made available during the
Dayton AMSAT forum by Frank Bauer on ARISS.

Would the "K5GNA" Transystem downconverters work, the ones left over from
AO-40 (sobsob)? Still have the L & S band stuff in moth balls, just waiting,
waiting & waiting.

Don't think so.
Most DVB-S receivers require input of 900 to 1600+ MHz or something like
that.

And IIRC, the downconversion is handled by the LNB (Low Noise Block
Downconverter) mounted at the feedpoint of the dish.

If the feed is only active for schools contacts it's going to be an
expensive ham activity as most of the equipment needed is going to be fully
dedicated for this and the schedule is going to be VERY limited.
Even if it sounds very attractive ... if there is not a permanent feed, I
will have to see the videos on YouTube :-/

Turksat was heard here for the last time on a pass over western Europe
during the orbit number 11 on April 26th. I still listen, from time to
time.

Hi,
We are facing problems in automating the antenna in our ground
station. The RCI SE board is not being detected by the computer.
So we are not able to give any command through it. We are using RCI SE
board ( by EA4TX) with yaesu g5500 rotor.
Please can anyone help us.
Regards,
Aayush Yadav,
