Hi Graham,
Interesting concept!
Based on your comment below, can there be non-EU country participants so
long as they are a member of a team led by a EU country???

No it is 4.1.1 Arm. If I search for "AMSATDroidfree" it does not see it in
the play store. If I can find just the apk file I think I can install it. I
had the same trouble with Echo link but was able to find the apk file and it
works just fine on my PIPO tablet. My wife's Nexus 7 is no problem (4.2.2)
and my son's smart phone 4.0.0

That was a pretty good pass, given that I think I fried my preamp
(enthusiasm should always be tempered with a checklist!) and I was
aiming through the house here for the entire pass without the preamp
then. I guess the chicken wire stucco didn't hurt as much as I thought
it would have.

the next pass about 03:10 UTC here will be another out the window pass
although that is shooting over the mountains so LOS looks to be about
03:24 UTC here because of the mountains.
I'll upload to LOTW after I return to the U.S. (and recover) later this
week and make some QSLs if you want a paper one.

with the last NORAD tle.
Best 73, have a nice day !

A Proton-M rocket failed this morning after launch from Baikonur in
Kazakhstan. A reminder to us that launches can and do fail.
It was carrying three Glonass satellites which I believe were planned, like
the others, to operate across 1602.5625-1615.5?MHz and 1240-1260?MHz.

Hi Folks,
it is a couple of years that I was off the satellite cause rifacing roof, I
had to take of my aerials.
Now after an intensive week of work I have re assembled the Antennas and the
tower on the roof.
I would like to test my work if all is done Ok.
I went on the Amsat Satellite Status Web Page, but I see that the page is
not present anymore.
Also have noticed that the Amsat.org page is been changed.
I could test just VO-52 SO-50 and the ISS.
I would like to test the digital modes at 9k6 and 38k4 baud.
As how I said before, please anybody can tell me which are the birds still
alive and if there are any at 9k6 and 38k4
So I can test my equipment's?
Any help will be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hi all,
I was a bit late in setting up to monitor Fitsat-1 due to local QRM.
However pleased to report that I received the satellite still quite strong
over here in Wales -UK during a pass
today ( Tuesday 2nd July 2013) at 1120 hrs GMT.

We suffered an epic fail on getting heard on this morning's 7:15 am pass of
SO50. Using an HT and Arrow II. I heard K2A, K2J and K2D, but nobody was
able to hear my call. My PL is correct and I hope that it is just the
clouds and lousy weather. Will try again for this evening's pass if not
rained out. Thank goodness for Richard K2M on the linear birds!
If I am able to get my signal "out" please look for me on the higher passes.

Hi Betsy,
Sorry we didn't hear you. I'm operating from North Carolina as
N8MH/K2J. As you heard, for a good while during the SO-50 pass there were
three of us (K2A, K2D, and K2J) standing by. Plenty of time for QSOs.
I (and others) find SO-50 to be a bit variable in regard to frequency, so
you might need to tune around a bit for best clarity of voices. Similarly,
it seems that the uplink can be adjusted a bit for better keying (with
tone) of the transmitter. If you are using an HT with stored memory
channels, if might be that your best uplink isn't your best receive...
While my operations will be limited (ugly thing called work..heh), I'll
keep an ear open for you in hope of making a contact soon.
73,
Mark N8MH

Can someone tell me what type and polarization the antennas are that are

I've done many searches and cannot find this information anywhere I have
looked.
