On the last pass of AO-7, I was trying out various power levels as it
was a nearly overhead pass of a maximum elevation of 81 degrees. With
just 20 degrees of elevation, I heard my downlink at S8 while running
500 mW to my Elk. With about 7 dBd of gain at 432 MHz, I estimate my
EIRP to have been around 4 watts.
With a feedline of 8 feet of LMR-240, my losses at 432 MHz are very
low, but it shows you how little power it takes to get a good signal
from the transponders.
Thanks to KC7MG and W4VAS for the QSOs on AO-7 at 500 mW PEP.

I also worked VE3TEF this evening on FO-29 while running 500 mW PEP.
My downlink was S8 on the meter. I had more than 50 degrees of
elevation, so that helps, of course, but it's amazing what so little
power into a small handheld log periodic antenna can do!

A tweet from Nanoracks indicates the first batch of cubesats have been
deployed from ISS. I'm trying to confirm if the amateur radio ones are in
this batch, including the two Lithuanian ones with repeater/transponders.
Freqs for these are on the AMSAT.org front page news item, if you get a
chance to listen.

So far, looks like just two of the PlanetLabs cubesats...

Market_Assessment_January_2014.pdf
Really goes to show you the demand of CubeSats and what market AMSAT is
participating in. Taking this article for being correct, they estimate
between 2014 and 2020 there will be at least 2,000 CubeSats looking for
launches. If that's true, whoa!
