LIVE from 8805 feet of elevation of the Big Bear (CA) amateur repeater this
evening - we conducted our weekly "Tech Tuesday" net - with my ten-minute
"Satellites" segment.
We discussed today's deployments from the ISS - and what else is scheduled
for the rest of the week from the Expedition 38 crew.
We also leaned how to pronounce "LituanicaSAT-1" (grin) and learn where its
home country is on the planet.
We discussed the modes and frequencies for the four new ham satellites that
astronaut Koichi Wakata KC5ZTA will be deploying - CubeSats that were
launched from the Wallops Flight Facility, VA to the International Space
Station (ISS) in the Cygnus freighter on January 9.
We conduct this satellite session every Tuesday night at 7PM Pacific time.
The Big Bear Amateur Radio Club club was established in 1975, and this "Tech
Tuesday Net" is right in alignment with their stated mission to educate and
stimulate interest in amateur radio.
The BBARC is an affiliated club member of the American Radio Relay League,
and its prestigious, high-level two meter repeater on 147.330 +.600 131.8 is
heard from Mexico to Ventura, and from Catalina Island to Western Arizona.
Tech Tuesday will be taking a two-week hiatus - come join us on Tuesday,
March 4,
2014 for another installment!

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
Hi,
Since deployment, we have been capturing the minimum and maximum
Realtime values for each channel when they have been uploaded by a
groundstation. This has given us a good overview for the early operation
and initial commisioning.
We have now moved into a steady state of operation and need to check for
long-term trends. To achieve this, we have changed the min-max data
collection such that it resets every 7 days and we capture the values
each time it does so. At reset you will see the reference date change on
the page and the min/max values converge. They will diverge again within
an orbit.
We did think about a rolling 7 day period but that is quite a
heavywieght process on the server as it has to be run each time we get
an upload!
As always, many thanks to all those who are uploading data to the warehouse.
Any feedback to the forum as usual please: http://forum.funcube.org.uk

Well it's all well and good for the folks in the area of that repeaters
coverage and nice to hear about I guess but it's pretty meaningless for

I shudder when I read negative vibes on amsat-bb. The opportunities in
amateur radio and even in the satellite world are so big that every
contribution has a place. Perhaps someone in range of the repeater
heard about AMSAT for the first time and 10 years from now will lead
us to a GEO opportunity.
C'mon guys ... there are so many opportunities awaiting!

Good job Clint.
I appreciate the Skype presentation you gave to the Anchorage Amateur
Radio Club a couple years ago. I could not make it and my friend
Craig, KL4E was able to
line you up via Skype for the event... It was well received...
Keep up the good work.

About 60,000 licensed hams were within earshot in

His program requires .Net 4 so you will have to install it if you do not
have it installed already. Not sure ? Try running the program - if it runs
you have it - if you do not have it you will see a message box telling you
that you do not have it. Unlike most ham radio programs this program uses
most all of the new bells and whistles of .Net 4 and WPF. Unfortunately this
means that it may not run on a few computers even thought most all the other
ham programs run just fine.
http://www.microsoft.com/net/download
The program runs well on Windows 8, Windows 7, Vista or XP. How well the
program runs depends on a couple of things: Your computer speed - if you
have an old computer that does not run very well this program will probably
not run well. Your internet connection - if you have a poor internet
connection the Tracking Map scroll will not be very smooth.
If the vertical screen resolution on your computer is less that 768 pixels
you will have some problems. Many netbooks have only 600 pixels of vertical
screen resolution so they may not be entirely satisfactory. I have run the
program on a old netbook running XP that has a 768 pixel vertical resolution
emulation mode for its 600 pixel screen and it works great.

I agree 100%.
As a relatively new amateur sat enthusiast (but long time scanner listener
and radio enthusiast), I get slightly turned off when I see negative
responses.
I firmly believe that the hobby would grow substantially if it appeared that
people of all skill levels and all contributions were welcomed.
Chances are that seasoned hams occasionally forget that they were once
newbies themselves, taking for granted the kind hearted approach and
opportunities offered to them decades ago.
To me, besides just the interesting and fun technologies, protocols, and
connections with people, ham radio offers a sense of wonder and endless
exploration that is often otherwise abandoned or excluded in other interest
areas. When negativity comes up, it takes that away.
While I realize that ham radio is just a reflection of the real world, which
offers all degrees of personality types, I'd like to think that it has the
possibility of having the most positive subset of humanity too.
Cheers and 73s,
Kevin

Hey Clint,
I know you think this is just a funny inside
joke but the negativity and cheap shot at
Barry is uncalled for.
We both know that you were ASKED to be an
Area Coordinator and you DECLINED because
you did not want to take on the full
responsibilities of an Area Coordinator.
That is perfectly fine, not everyone wants
to take on that level of commitment.
But, you were also told, by Barry, that AMSAT
would still appreciate any marketing and
publicity activities that you cared to do
on your own to benefit AMSAT.
So, you may think it is just your little
inside joke since you were the one to reject the
position but poking fun at someone else is not
acceptable behavior on the BB and certainly not
in the spirit of amateur radio fellowship.
You owe Barry an apology.

Tony, I believe you are a bit mistaken... I could be wrong, but it's my
understanding that Clint WAS an AMSAT Area Coordinator and he was recently
asked to step down from the position. Or informed he was stepping down
involuntarily... whatever way you want to say it.
As for comments about negativity on the board... ham radio is a part of life
and negativity in life exists. Sometimes that negativity is veiled behind
smiles, snarky comments and orchestrated presentations and the negativity
that is obvious & easily observed is merely the reaction to the veiled form.
Also, try to remember that with the written word, intent is not always clear
and humor does not always come across. A number of the people that post here
have a dry sense of humor and use it to combat what they perceive as
narcissistic ramblings. In other words, a lot of people write like they
speak but you can't hear the sarcasm in their voice.
I also don't believe all contributions are always welcome. When the motives
of an individual are self-serving and/or contrary to the motives of the
greater organization, it's usually time to cut ties and have all parties go
their separate ways. A lot of the time when this happens, the leadership of
an organization has it's reasons, but doesn't want to be 'negative' and
publicize the details. - Q.E.D.
