Yes - no problem working ALL of the new birds in portable mode!

-one hand for the handheld beam antenna for RX
-one hand for the handheld beam antenna for TX
-one hand for the HT - uplinks
-one hand for the FT-817ND - downlinks
-one hand for the speaker-mic
-one hand holding an iOS device with sat pass info
-one hand for clipboard to write down callsigns as heard
-one hand with (of course!) my Fisher Space Pen(tm)

The NASA-TV schedule is showing that NASA-TV coverage of tonight's launch
of multiple student CubeSats begins at 6:30 PM.  The launch should be
visible along the East Coast since it's from Wallops Island.

I definitely need to get a satellite station setup, you guys are making me
kick myself for being slow to do so! I've been super busy at work but
otherwise I'll eventually get there. Anyone with tips on setting up a nice
ground station in a city (Los Angeles,CA) in a town-house (with an HOA)
would be readily welcomed. I've heard several satellites with my handheld
arrow antenna and VX-8R but would definitely like a better solution.

I'll have to give these satellites a shot this weekend!

Great news. I'm going to be around Wallops Island for Thanksgiving and am

Hi all.

Earlier posts said the launch is scheduled for 18:30 EST.

This site says it's schedule for 19:30.

What does the "PT 1:00:00" mean? It's located in the lower right hand
corner of the live feed? Is that the "hold timer" in hours? When they
release the hold, do you think that means the launch will happen an hour
later?

That's confirmed at:

That site also is carrying the live feed.  It looks like it'll go at 0115 UTC.

Bob et al.

A paper, by the undersigned--of course,?on the variability of the
uplink/downlink frequency for AO-7 appeared in the AMSAT Journal Vol. 30,
No. 3, May/June 2007 p.23 - 26.? The bottom line is the LO in the spacecraft
is being affected by spacecraft temperature.? The spacecraft?temperature?is
related to the amount of time the spacecraft is in shadow/sunlight.?This
variability probably has always been there since the day it was launched and
was deemed acceptable back in 1974.??The frequency variation?appears in both
the transponder and the 2m beacon.?Up to 6-KHz of variation was observed
between full sun and maximum shadow time thru the transponder while?the 2m
beacon variation was around 2-KHz.? The fact that both varied with
spacecraft temperature shows?clearly it is an AO-7 contribution.

A second?paper concerning the solar array power actually used and
analyzed?the good high-speed RTTY telemetry that was transmitted by AO-7
during the March 2009 time frame, see AMSAT Journal ?Vol. 33, No. 1,
January/February 2010, p. 4 - 15. Now that the solar array is the only power
supply it is possible that voltage and current fluctuations do affect the
AO-7 LO but are likely dominant around the period of entering/leaving
sunlight?or when transponder loads are high.? When I operated AO-7 I
remember many passes where the CW ops?were pumping the passband which
possibly caused some frequency variations, along with the FM'ing, etc. but
are impossible measure or figure out.

To repeat, the dominate factor in the slow frequency variation over time is
spacecraft temperature.

I would recommend getting the two papers from somewhere to get the full
details rather than depending on the highly-condensed versions above.

Best regards, Jim, N8OQ (formerly KG4QWC)
