What can one hear with just a Yaesu FT-60R and a DIY $15 tape measure beam?
How about AMSAT-UK's AO-73 satellite - with its whopping 300mW signal and
never
closer to you than about 450 miles?

I have to check the FUNcube data - but it is possible that it was
just transmitting 30mW on this pass ... Which makes this little
experiment all the MORE incredible:
Hearing a 30mW signal from a bird no closer than about 450 miles -
what a GREAT "line of sight" experiment for ANY classroom!

Hi Clint,
I am not sure when you made the recording but I can confirm that FO73 was
transmitting in transponder mode continuously this weekend from around
2100UTC Friday 18th April until exactly 2059UTC tonight Sunday 20th April.
In transponder mode the BPSK beacon is indeed only transmitting around 30mW
Glad you are enjoying the FUN!

I've got a used set of Yaesu G-5500 az/el rotors, and the plugs that
attach to the rotor housings. I need to build cables to connect them to
the Yaesu controller.
Page 3 of the instruction manual shows some info about the wiring, but
doesn't explicitly say which screw terminal on the controller goes to
which pin on the rotor plugs.
Is it simply 1-1, 2-2, ... 6-6?

From the manual:
Connect each wire to the terminals on the
rear panel of the controller, making sure to
match the numbers on the pins......
So, yes, it's 1-1, 2-2, 3-3, etc

Yes, Domenico, but AO-40 gets better in my memory with each passing year.
Perhaps that is why it _seems_ like some of the frames I hear from Funcube
should decode when they don't.

Hi Phil et All
I can copy and decode the beacon at 30 mw EIRP using the M^2 yagi at very
low SNR ~ 10 db SNR I do not see much fading

I haven't done anything with AO-73, but I understand it's transmitting the
FEC format I originally designed for AO-40.
How well is it working? What fraction of the frames are successfully
decoded? How bad is the fading? I designed my format specifically for the
spin fading on AO-40, and if the fading due to the tumbling of a cubesat is
too slow my format won't be able to fix it.
Phil

Hi,
The warehouse is undergoing some changes today to add reporting of
eclipse (transponder) status on the RealTime screen , please excuse and
short lived outages.

Hello?
I am having a problem with the V1.83 decoder from the Litsat website.
It copies the rawdata, converts it to Hex but will not decode hex file to
text file.
Any one else seeing this problem??
Also?anyone using a hardware tnc with this program successfully?

Hello Bruce and all the list,
The same happens here, something has changed in the sat, I think.
I'm using and old hardware tnc in kiss mode, the trick is putting first the
tnc in kiss mode and without exit launch the telemetry decoder.
Regards from Spain,
Fran EA1JM
