Good Evening
Just worked OY1R on fo29 and thought I would share. I know Faroe Islands was
a new one for me and sure it would be for a lot of other satellite operators
as well. I even recorded the contact the link is below.

NOTE 1: "Tech" refers to "technical" topics ... not to the Technician
amateur radio license class.
NOTE 2: If you are not interested in advancing the cause of promoting
amateur radio satellites,
then please stop reading NOW.
LIVE from 8805 feet of elevation of the Big Bear (CA) amateur repeater this
evening -
we conducted our weekly "Tech Tuesday" net.
We would like to thank NASA for the ISS fly-over at 7:02PM PST - allowing us
to open the
net, then walk outside for a magnificent, 45+ degree pass of the ISS.
Those listening this evening learned about this week's tentative commercial
and amateur
satellite deployments ... we discussed the modes and frequencies for the
four new ham
satellites that astronaut Koichi Wakata KC5ZTA will be deploying ... and
about the Web sites
for live video of CubeSat deployments and further information.
And all were also invited to attend the Palm Springs Desert RATS / Palm
Springs DX Club
HamFest that is happening Saturday, March 15, 2014. These clubs have a
history of
organizing incredible one-day hamfests - including ham radio history,
licensing, major
vendors, inexpensive coffee (most important to hams), and demonstrations.
And FREE parking
(quite extraordinary in Palm Springs for such an event!)
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.
In the Southern CA region? Or have EchoLink capability (repeater K6BB)? Then
join us
next Tuesday night at 7PM Pacific. We always find an article or two in the
current QST
magazine to discuss, and are always open for "technical-related" questions
from YOU!

>From JJ3GRX? - The data reception App for our satellite ITF-1 "YUI" is now
available at Google Play Store. You can find with keyword "TSUMUGI" or
"ITF-1".
After deployment, the first path is right above western Europe from 7:20 pm
on Feb.27 UT. It is before the path above Japan. We strongly want to obtain
reception data. Report via WEB form is greatly appreciated, but just e-mail
"heard" would be very helpful.

Good afternoon,
The demonstrations at the Vienna Wireless Winterfest were quite a success.
We made two QSOs on the 1230Z pass of VO-52 and an outstanding 11 QSOs on
the 1347Z pass of FO-29.
Thanks to AC0RA and KD8LMI operating as W1AW/8 for the QSOs on the VO-52
pass.
Thanks to AC0RA, W5PFG, AA5PK, W3KXR, K4FEG, WC7V, WD9EWK, CO6CBF, KD8LMI
operating as W1AW/8, N5ZNL, and W7JPI for the QSOs on the FO-29 pass.
I was using my normal portable satellite station of a Yaesu FT-817 (with
blown finals - don't need them to receive!). a Yaesu FT-817ND, High Sierra
Microwave preamps (LNAA146FIL for 2m, LNAA432 for 70cm), and an Elk antenna
for the demonstrations.
There were probably about a dozen people in and out observing the
demonstrations, plus others watching from a distance.
Following the demonstration, Steve, KS1G, presented a great introduction to
AMSAT and satellite operating in a classroom forum with about 20 hams in
attendance.
After the forum, we went back outside to capture some telemetry from
FUNcube-1 as it passed over at about 1530Z and captured 25 frames with
Steve's FUNcube Dongle, Elk antenna, and a Dell Venue 8 Pro tablet. Only 25
frames were captured because it was the first time I had used the FUNcube
Dongle and the Dashboard is not quite designed for touchscreen input! We
were able to show the realtime and whole orbit data collected and read
several fitter messages.
Thanks to the Vienna Wireless Society for giving us the opportunity to both
demonstrate amateur satellite operation and make a presentation. Also,
thanks to two VWS Directors, John, KJ4YHC, and Ian, N0IMB, for filming the
demonstrations and interviewing me about my portable satellite station. I
will share the interview video with the BB when they post it.
In the meantime, I have posted a short video of the QSO with W1AW/8 from
the hamfest:
