Any word on VO-52? Looks like it hasn't been heard from at all today.

I last listened for VO-52 a couple of days ago. I had trouble getting into
the transponder due to a very high noise floor, which I thought might have
been local, though I could hear AO-7 which was passing by at the same time.
Also, the beacon was found about 3 kHz higher than normal.

I'll try to listen for the next pass at 2224Z, but I operate outside and a
storm is on it's way.

No luck here in EM21, Paul.  VO-52 not heard at 22:26 UTC.

Subject: [amsat-bb] ARRL Centennial QSO Party W1AW Portable Satellite
Operations - Halfway Point
Message-ID:

Good evening,

This week marks the halfway point and a break in the W1AW portable
calendar for the 2014 World Radiosport Team Championships coming up
this weekend during the IARU HF World Championship. As this is the
halfway point, I wanted to compile some statistics on satellite
operations during this event.

All of this data comes from the W1AW logs as uploaded to LoTW and
reported on the Centennial QSO Party Leaderboard (
https://centennial-qp.arrl.org/index.php ). The QSO statistics reflect
unique callsigns worked on any satellite, not total number of separate
QSOs. If you work W1AW/x during a week on AO-7 Mode A, AO-7 Mode B,
AO-73, FO-29, VO-52, and ISS Packet, you still only get credit for 1
QSO towards the Centennial QSO Party points challenge. Satellite
participation has not been great. Of the 55 operations that have taken
place so far, only 18 have reported making any satellite QSOs (WI and
UT from this past week are not yet uploaded, but I do not believe they
had any activity and have marked them at 0 for now). A total of 780
unique QSOs have been made. The leading operation at this point is
W1AW/9 in Illinois the week of June 25th with 122 unique callsigns
worked by AA9LC.

There are still lots of opportunities to have the chance to use the
W1AW callsign on the satellites coming up during the second half of
the year. If your state still has a week assigned, be sure to contact
your state's coordinator (
http://www.arrl.org/files/file/On%20the%20Air/W1AW_2014_sked.pdf ) and
sign up to be the satellite operator. Lots of big states with plenty
of satellite operators have not appeared on the satellites! I
personally look forward to my opportunity to activate W1AW/3 from the
District of Columbia in October. Wisconsin, New York, Utah, Minnesota,
and Nebraska are the only states that have had both of their weeks
pass at this point. We ease back into the W1AW operations with South
Carolina next week.

I hope this table comes out OK in most email readers:

  Hi Paul and Clayton,

Thanks for your valuable report. Even me and Nitin VU3TYG not heard the
beacon during 02:16 UT [2 Deg] pass over India. I'm in touch with our
Satellite controllers at ISTRAC.? Will keep you all posted with the latest
info, soon. The next good pass over Bangalore for us to look into the
details is only at 12:50 UT.

In the mean time, we would greatly appreciate the reports around the World.
As Paul noticed, it would be nice to scan for the beacon from 3 Khz higher.
