The Deorbitsail CubeSat being built at the Surrey Space Centre will use an
ISIS UHF/VHF radio running 9600 bps BPSK on the VHF downlink?

Hi,
The FUNcube Data Warehouse is now producing .csv files containing
Realtime data channels.
The data is produced every hour, on the hour and contains 3000 rows,
starting 250 minutes before the last record in the database.
As we do not have worlwide coverage, there will be missing segments of
data. To overcome this, we fill the data with the last value before the gap.
All records are have an associated 'satellite time' this is based on the
known activation time of the satellite and offset calculated from the
sequence number and frame type. The satellite is currently 3 hours 50
minutes ahead of the data server time.
Please visit the Real Time Data page and click on the link in the
descriptive text.
http://warehouse.funcube.org.uk
We welcome feedback on the format and content. Please use the forum:

You could. My concerns would be:
1) Noise figure. You will need a low noise amplifier with sufficient gain to
overcome the mixer loss.
2) How will you stabilize the frequency of the YIG? You may have better luck
with one of the more easily attainable crystal controlled "Brick" oscillators.
Hi all!
Could I build a microwave receiver for satellite using a yig, mixer, the
appropriate Local oscillator and an SDR dongle for receive of some kind? I
do have an IF filter and so forth.

Some time ago, I saw a post about a patch that would display all SatPC32
dialog box messages in English rather than German. It has really not
been so much of a problem, but I would now like to apply that patch. My
searches have not turned up the info to accomplish this. Could someone
re-fresh me on where to access the info on that procedure?
Thanks in advance.

The new ARISS web pages at http://www.ariss.org are one place to find
more information. Select the 'Contact the ISS' link in the top row.
This brings you to a page which describes all of the ARISS amateur
radio modes. There is a section on this page titled "Packet
Operations".
AGWPE only passes the packets that have the correct checksum.
Otherwise you will not see the packet displayed via UISS even though
it sounds like a good signal.
I am not at all familiar with the operation of the TS-2000 internal
modem. If it operates in a mode similar to other TNC-2 configurations
you might be able to see non-checksum-computed packets using the TNC's
PASSALL command. In this configuration you would not be using AGWPE.
Packets received with PASSALL = ON contain the good characters and
erroneous characters - but it is often good enough for humans to
understand the content.
Both types of packet operation, hardware TNC and soundcard modem, are
discussed in a link in the ARISS.org's packet operations section.
The only amateur radio presently in operation on the ISS is the
Ericsson HT. The 5 watt downlink and shadowing from the spacecraft
structure (depending on the orientation of the ISS) leads to varying
signal strengths at the ground station.
A real-time packet log of the 145.825 ARISS signals that have been
satgated displays at http://www.ariss.net which is a different page
from the ariss.org page I mentioned. If there are no satgate stations
near you in India then this may not show much except to gauge prior
packet activity on orbits approaching your QTH.
Hope this helps some ...

Hi again Rupesh,

I forgot to mention this in my previous e-mail. If you have your
packet station working in both directions, transmit and receive, with
terrestrial signals then you will have better luck with signals from
space.
I use the APRS beacon frequency 144.390 MHz for testing my packet
configuration on receive. I live near a large city (Chicago) so this
frequency always has plenty of strong signals. That way I do not have
to wait 90 minutes or longer for the next ISS pass. The APRS beacons
and local digipeaters have strong signals so that ensures that I am
receiving packets with a good checksum (to overcome the software TNC's
somewhat rigorous demand for checksums) at which point I can read the
messages on UISS, UZ7HO, UI-View, or hardware TNC, etc. I then QSY
back 145.825 for ISS packet operating.
Also, try receiving the digital telemetry beacon from FUNcube-1,
AO-73. The BPSK downlink is on 145.935 MHz. You will need to set the
TS-2000 to receive USB instead of FM (and tune for Doppler). The
FUNcube Dashboard software for receiving and decoding the BPSK signal
can be downloaded from funcube.org.uk. I get good signals with just a
3-element 2 meter beam with fixed elevation and turned with a TV
antenna rotor.

Hello,
I will be active on all the amateur satellites from 1/22- 1/28 as W1AW/2.
W1AW Portable Operations, ARRL Centennial QSO Party
The ARRL Centennial "W1AW WAS" operations are taking place throughout 2014
from each of the 50 states, relocating each Wednesday (UTC) to a new pair of
states (this week, Nebraska and Delaware. Listen for W1AW/0 and W1AW/3).
During 2014 W1AW will be on the air from every state at least twice and from
most US territories, and it will be easy to work all states solely by
contacting W1AW portable operations.

orbit nr 833 January 13th;
orbit nr 848 January 14th (for this last one today, CW beacon: "W5UL CAPE2
GN V5250").
PicoDragon:
orbit nr 621 December 29th;
orbit nr 622 December 29th;
orbit nr 623 December 29th;
orbit nr 654 December 31st;
orbit nr 762 January 7th;
orbit nr 791 January 9th;
orbit nr 806 January 10th;
orbit nr 822 January 11th;
orbit nr 853 January 13th;

Great to see other W1AW portable operations planned for the satellites.
I will be operating as W1AW/0 from EN34 in Minnesota the following week,
January 29 through Feb. 4th.
Note that those dates are from 0000 UTC through 2350 UTC.
All QSL requests for the W!AW portable operations should go to ARRL
Headquarters.

FYI regarding QSLs:
"QSL cards from W1??AW and W1AW operating portable will be sent
automatically via the QSL Bureau system to each U.S.A. station who
signs-up online to receive such cards [this form is not ready yet --
please watch for an announcement]. This is a one-time only use of the
QSL Bureau for this purpose. QSLs will automatically be sent to
stations outside the U.S.A. via the QSL Bureau as normal. QSLs may be
requested directly also, with an SASE required for return."
Glad to hear of several operations on the satellites. I look forward
to working as many as possible on the satellites (as well as HF,
though I've missed the first few). I also look forward to operating as
W1AW/3 from the District of Columbia in July.
