Just was on the last pass of SO-50. I was not hearing the satellite at
first even as it rose above the trees. At the middle of the pass, I was
expecting to find it at around 436.795 MHz, but I found it around 436.786
MHz.
Has anybody else noticed this?

Overview of the Livonia Amateur Radio Club Balloon Launch
Balloon Designator : K8UNS
Who?
Club: Livonia Amateur Radio Club
Club Address: P.O. Box 51532, Livonia, Michigan 48151-5532
Club Email Address: k8uns@xxxx.xxx
Club Web Site: www.livoniaarc.com
Balloon Project Web Site: k8uns.org/high-altitude-balloon-project/
When?
Morning of June 7th. Planning to launch between 9 and 10AM. If winds are
an issue at arrival, we can notify all parties involved for a 1 hour
postponement or cancellation.
What?
Payload Container
Weight: 5lbs 4oz
Dimensions: 14? x 10? x 10?
Material: Rigid foam pink insulation wrapped with Ducting Foil Tape
Payload Contents
Beacon
146.46MHz FM 110mW voice beacon
Identification and where to find more information
ATV Transmitter
439.25MHz 1W Fast Scan television transmitter.
Circular Horizontal Antenna suspended approximately 1 foot below payload box.
Video overlay with current GPS Coordinates / Identifier / Speed and Direction
APRS Transmitter
144.39MHz Packet Transmitter
GPS Positioning with internal / external temperature, battery voltage and
identifier
Current positioning via radio or via the web -
http://aprs.fi/info/?call=K8UNS-11
Map View: http://aprs.fi/#!call=a%2FK8UNS-11
Why?
Because we are Amateur Radio Operators and we love science. The ability to
track a balloon at 100,000 feet, take photos of the upper atmosphere has
furthered interest in our hobby and our club. This project has inspired many
smaller, similarly related projects by members of our club. We?ve had more
participation and interest in this project, than most other projects we?ve
run. Clubs around Michigan and Ohio have heard about this launch and are
waiting for the launch.
We're interested in reception reports of our balloon. Send us a note a let
us know if you heard our beacon or transmitters.
Delivery System
Balloon
Kaymont 1200g Balloon
Diameter at launch: 4.88 meters (16 feet)
Ascent Rate: 5 meters (16.4 feet) / second
Color: White
Material: Latex
Supplier: Kaymont Balloons, NY - http://kaymontballoons.com/
Parachute
RocketMan 6.5 foot Diameter
Cord
50lb breaking strength Nylon cord.
The cordage is used to tether the balloon to the parachute, and from the
parachute to the balloon. Three feet from payload to parachute and 5 feet
from parachute to balloon.
Where?
Because of the changes in winds, final launch location will be decided 12
hours prior to launch. Winds will be re-checked the morning of the launch,
and a ?Go Ahead? will be determined then.
A final analysis of ground based wind-speed will be the final ?Go/No Go?
deciding factor upon arrival at the launch site.
Our prediction tool (http://predict.habhub.org)only goes 180 hours out from
the present time, so you may have to adjust the dates in the predictions
below.

Good evening,
I heard the CW ID, voice message, and my own downlink briefly on a 6
degree maximum elevation pass in Washington, DC (FM18lv) at about
0058Z on 1-Jun-2014 until my receive was unfortunately wiped out by my
preamp battery dying. Next pass at 0232Z is a much higher elevation
pass and I will have my preamp battery charged!
The station here is 2 FT-817s, an Elk handheld LPDA, and a High Sierra
MIcrowave LNAA432 preamp. I was operating on my balcony with an
excellent view of the southern horizon. I used Narrow FM on the uplink
and that seemed to work out better for getting into the satellite than
my last attempt on 1-May.
Here is the audio from the pass:

Just worked the last pass, a 70 degree maximum elevation pass over
Washington, DC. The satellite sounded good with strong signals. Lots
of interference on the uplink made things challenging. I worked KK4VAU
in Tennessee and KQ2RP in New Jersey. Also heard AA5PK and N5AFV, both
in Texas.

I was the only person on the 0855Z pass over North America. Maximum
elevation was 70 degrees. The satellite still sounded good. I again
noted that Narrow FM and making the fine adjustments for Doppler on
the uplink worked better. Downlink signals were stronger than SO-50,
likely due to the lower orbit. I will try again on 2-Jun at 0121Z and
0256Z.
