Hi Bill, W1PA
You are tuning the uplink 432.125 MHz (LSB) and 145.975 MHz (USB)
for down link but so you are at the very edge of the transponder passband.
I suggest to tune the uplink in the middle of the passband at 432.150 MHz
(LSB) and while transmitting a CW string of dots tune very slowly the
downlink in the middle of the passband around 145.950 MHz (USB) moving
the RX tuning knob a little bit up and down on frequency until you hear
your CW coming back.
The rest of your station seems to be all OK.
Have fun.

A quick follow-up and some questions.
I made it to the FD site about 11pm local.
Schedule had two passes of SO-50 (1am and 3am) and two
passes of AO-7 (at 4am and 6am local).
Let's focus on AO-7. I had my FT-847, two 10 ft lengths of coax,
and the trusty Arrow dual-band.
I had my Ubuntu netbook with gpredict and a printed frequency list.
I ran AO-40 full manual back in the day (no computer
assist or Doppler) --I can do this, right?:
AO-7 (B) 432.125-175 up, 145.975-925 down.
Load 432.125 on the main VFO, and 145.975 (USB) on the secondary. Set Sat
mode, (tracking REVERSE)
Hear the bird great -- can?t find my downlink. Nada. Voice or CW.
Confirmed 432 TX and power out with a meter -- ran up to 30 watts in. Moved
the sub-tune up and down on the RX side for Doppler (at least 15khz each
side). Coax was connected correctly.
Nothing on the next pass either.... excellent hearing, can?t find myself.
Bird is directly overhead. Epic fail.
So what did I do wrong? Did I have a de-sense issue because of the crossed
yagi? Enough power? What sideband should the uplink have been (LSB,
correct)? Even if it was wrong, I should have heard CW, right?
Bill W1PA

Message-ID: <51CB65A0.6090503@xxxx.xxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed
Today I got a scam email purporting to be from Roy Welch, W0SL, asking
for an emergency loan. If I got it, I suspect many others on amsat-bb
got it too.
The originating IP address is in Nigeria. Where else?
I've seen this exact scam before. In those cases someone had stolen the
password of the person they were pretending to be.
I don't think that happened here. The "From" address was his correct
email account 'rdwelch@xxxxxx.xxxx but the Reply-To: address was
'rdwelclh@xxxxx.xxxx. Note the extra 'l'.
I think the scammers created this second account on Yahoo and used it to
send the scam email, forging Roy's address in the from field. Any reply
would, of course, go to the scammer's address on Yahoo and many people
might not notice the subtle change.
swbell.net has no SPF (Sender Policy Framework) records in the Domain
Name System to indicate to the rest of the Internet which IP addresses
may legitimately originate email from that domain, so recipient systems
cannot easily detect forgeries.

Thanks Phil. Yes, I'm not sure how it was done but the settings are
correct in my PC. AT&T has helped me to assign a new password to my
account to shut this down. They say it appears to have been hacked on
the AT&T web mail site. We too noticed the Reply To address change. I
suspected something when I had no incoming mail. It appears that any,
not just replies to me were going to that hacked address. The only thing
I can think of is that AT&T net mail was changing to a new setup. We
were all notified that by June 30, all accounts would have to migrate to
the new ATT.net/mail arrangement. Subsequently I received a message
offering the opportunity to proceed with my migration. I did that and
was surprised when they asked me to login again. Right there I gave
someone my login info. They were then able to login to my web mail site
and access the address book there. I am going to delete the address
book there since I am not on the road much anymore. With the changed
password, the hacker can no longer login into my account. My apologies
to all who got that message. I have seen it before, coming from other
people over the months.

Greg,
I had a hard time getting into the bird on that pass, figured it was
pointing angle or inversion layer. Next morning it was fine.

Subject: [amsat-bb] FO-29 wierdness during field day
Hi folks,
Now that the bustle of Field Day is over, an observation I want to pass
on. Did anyone else experience this?
On one of the Saturday night passes I noticed that FO-29 suddenly went
kind of silent. Not totally so, but enough that the QSO that I was
desperately trying to complete was interrupted. It was around 9:45 pm
local PDT, if I recall. Just finished with K6MMM, and was trying to get
K6AA, I think. (Note to self: turn on the recorder next time!)
I didn't check for an eclipse, but that's my guess, though it was also
about the time the bird went past TCA and all Doppler had broken loose.
The bird sounded like 20 meters during the day, but with everyone's VFO
on skids going in different directions.
Right towards the end of the pass I heard another station on, so I know
the bird hadn't died.
Anybody hear that?
Greg KO6TH

Planet Labs, builders of the Dove-1 and Dove-2 CubeSats plan to launch 28 3U

Presumably these will be operating in the 2400 MHz band ? anyone have any

A Kickstarter project from Bristol in the United Kingdom that aims to raise
?290,000 ($442,000) to send a 3U CubeSat to the moon.
Interesting from the point of view that it aims to have it's own propulsion
and in the "Scout" satellites it intends to deploy in both Earth and Lunar
orbits. See

Does anyone know the current status of TURKSAT-3USAT? I can't find much
news about it since early May, and haven't copied it's CW beacon
recently either. Still learning the ends and outs of PCSAT32, so it's
more than likely I've screwed up entering the Kep data.
