Hi Trevor.
Thanks for all the info on two more transponders, one linear and one FM due
for launch in June
I thought this comment from the owners was really nice:
"and an amateur radio payload provided by the AMSAT-NL and AMSAT-FR. These
last payloads serve as a return favour to the satellite radio amateur
community for the fact that the QB50 main mission can use the amateur bands
during the full flight in 2016."
Just goes to show that use of amateur frequencies can have substantial
benefits.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
I have a receiving converter that converts 2400 MHz to 144 MHz that is
basically brand new. ?This is a UEK-3000 and is designed to be remotely
installed. ?I got the converter from someone ,not local, who told me that
the converter was for the 2304 MHz band. ?Unfortunately, when it arrived, it
was for amateur radio satellites ?at 2400 MHz and not for the "weak signal"
portion of the band.
I did check the performance with my HP-8616 signal generator and a good
level CW signal was detected at -130 dBm or 0.07-microvolts running through
a 2-meter converter into a 10-meter receiver. ?The performance of the
HP-8616 has not been verified since I obtained the signal generator about
3-months ago and I cannot guarantee the absolute accuracy of the attenuation
pad in the unit. ?However, the converter definitely does work!
If anyone is interested in the converter, I am definitely open for trades.
?Although the converter sells for a pretty good amount of money, I would
rather trade because, that way, both sides are satisfied and one doesn't
wonder if they paid too much or got a REALLY good deal!
?

Hi,
A brief reminder that if you are going to Dayton and plan to attend the
annual AMSAT/TAPR Banquet,?
you?will need to make your reservations by May 13th.?
Tom Clark, K3IO who has made major contributions to?both organizations will
be the speaker.
We are in a smaller room this year, so while we should have plenty of space,
first come, first served.
You can make your reservation at:
http://store.amsat.org/catalog/index.php?cPath=38&osCsid=uh5e8khqdcancr5jgek10
227h5
Because the Kohler Center needs the count by the 13th, no tickets will be
sold at the door or?Hamvention.??
You can pick up your tickets at the AMSAT Booth.
Alan

Telemetry was recorded at 0714 UTC this morning:
http://www.dk3wn.info/p/?p=44813
Perhaps the telemetry beacon is only on over Lithuania. I have not
heard it myself.
Also, remember that LituanicaSAT-1 and LitSAT-1 are different
satellites. There has been confusion on that point. LitSAT-1 transmits
on 2 meters, LituanicaSAT-1 transmits on 70cm.

I was on AO73 last night from southern Cal (DM13) at around 0555z, calling
many CQs. I kept my downlink at about 145.955. My sigs peaked at S9 (no
preamp), 5 el fixed at 30 deg.
AO73 was very loud. I had no replies and heard no one but myself. It does
take a little more work to keep up with the Doppler, but this is a great sat
and I encourage you to take advantage when the transponder is turned on.

Agree. It isn't quite as loud or as easy to get a signal into as
VO-52, but it's very close.
I had a 70+ degree pass yesterday and my return signal was S8 with 500
mW to an Elk antenna. Unfortunately, all I heard were people trying to
find their signals until the end of the pass.
Looking forward to the FUNcube-2 payload on UKube-1 and the FUNcube-3
payload on QB50p2, apparently both launching June 19th, but I see
conflicting information about the DNEPR launch for QB50p1 and QB50p2
(with a FM transponder from AMSAT-F). Can anyone confirm that date?

I have one of the older FT-847's that does not have
bidirectional CAT.
My understanding is that I can still use a PC to
control/adjust doppler,
but that I must tune the radio from the software only. Is
that correct?
If so, what software would you suggest, Linux-preferred? I
don't need any other control
other than doppler correction on a linear bird pass. Does
gpredict do this?
