Hi all,
Delfi-C3 has celebrated its 6th birthday on the 28th of April.
The spacecraft is still operational, telemetry only, on 145.870 USB
Delfi-C3 has exceeded its mission lifetime by six times now, and on-board
telemetry still does not indicate degradation in performance.
So far, our distributed ground station network (DGSN) has collected 2037513
frames as of today, received by 376 registered radio amateurs and many more
on the guest account, using the free RASCAL software. This would not have
been possible without your continued support.
Thank you!
Please note that the original team of students has long graduated, and
delfi-c3 operations are done by very few volunteers. We continue to monitor
the live telemetry in our spare time.

Hi Folks,
At approx 21:12 UTC this evening, AO-73 was switched into continuous
lowpower beacon/ transponder ON Mode for radio amateurs use during the
weekend.
We'll be going back to normal mode at the end of the weekend.
Enjoy!

Hi Bob, W7LRD
Befor tearing everyting apart and guess that the problem is the pot in the
rotor get a DC voltmeter and measure the voltage between E2 and E3 on the
rear of control box.If the pot is OK you must measure a variation betweeen 0
volt to about 6 volt DC turning the elevation all the way by 0? to 180?
Have fun

I know this is super-basic, but did you click on the "C-" (turning it to
"C+") in the upper left portion of the program window to enable computer
control of the radio?

Hi
We have been receiving reports of users with missing packet upload scores.
If you have suffered this, please email me directly with your siteId and
when you suffered the problem.
I shall be investigating this today.

Looking for reality check. Haven?t been able to hear anything yet. I have
verified tracking comparing my SatPC32 to an online tracking site.
The two agree or at least seem to.
Any suggestions

The review says it can receive two frequencies at once and can
do cross band repeat.

I updated my "Southern California Ham Radio Frequency List" this week.
It has more than 80 repeater systems, simplex freqs, and miscellaneous
frequencies that I always have at hand programmed in my demo FT-60R
and other radios. The list is weighed towards ENJOYMENT of the 2m/440
amateur radio airwaves!
Most listings have URLs to repeater owner sites and/or club sites.
The .pdf file is available on the DOCS page at ... http://www.k6lcs.com/
I have been on most of these repeaters, and found them to be open and
welcoming of hams. Of course - satellite SO-50's set of freqs are included,
as well as NOAA and a couple other goodies.
There are some "active" systems that I have left out. This is not an
"all-inclusive" list for the Southern California region. If I encountered
unfriendly, un-welcoming, or snobby attitudes, then I did not include them
... that's NOT what this magnificent hobby is all about.
Enjoy! You can always email me at clint@xxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx ... or cruise
my "Work the Satellites" Web site at http://www.work-sat.com .

Sure it does ... so does the Puxing UV973.
BUT - do not get your hopes up that the 8D will perform well in FM satellite
V/U
or U/V modes. I mean, if Alinco could not get it right at the US$250 price
point,
I do not expect Wouxun nor Puxing to get it right at the $100 price point.
KENWOOD has some wonderful engineering minds working for them. No one has
been able to compete with the TH-F6a (non-duplex, but 3 bands each at full TX
power) nor their TH-D72a (FULL-duplex ops for FM birds).

I'm just trying to sort this out too. LITSAT is a different satellite to
LituanicaSat-1. Which is very confusing, at least to me. LituanicaSat-1
has the name LITUANSAT in the nasa.all kepler file that SatPC32 downloads.
It has the object number 39569U, which you can check in the file, and is
the same object number as LitunanicaSat-1.
On that basis, LITUANSAT is over the East coast right now...
At least that's how I interpret it. Others can correct me if I have it
wrong.

Mike,
It would be nice if the new Wouxun could work SO50 full-duplex. Some have
reported that the FCC ID number on the new UV8D is the same as the UV6D. If
so, that could imply the insides are the same as the UV6D - which is not
capable of full-duplex operation.
Then again, two Baofeng UV-5R HTs cost less than the MSRP of that new
Wouxun HT, and would get you a workable full-duplex FM satellite station.
73!

Hi!
I just saw a new Wouxun KG-UV8D HT here at the hamfest in Sierra Vista AZ.
Its FCC ID number is WVTWOUXUN07. I looked that up on the FCC certification
database:
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/
That database had photos of another Wouxun HT, not the UV8D. Wouxun could
have tweaked the older radio to make it capable of full-duplex operation,
but doesn't that mean the new radio should have gone through the FCC
certification process? I didn't have a chance to poke around on that radio
to see if it could do full-duplex operation for SO-50.
73!
