I know this has probably been explained before, but help me understand as
this has always puzzled me.
For example purposes I'm going to use 1 watt as the theoretical satellite's
output and only one ground station on the input.
The way I understand is: If AO-7 (or any other SSB repeater) receives a
signal, it keys up the transmitter side and passes the audio through. If
AO-7 transmitter is let's say a 1 watt, then a full quieting signal on the
input should make the output max out at 1 watt. If the input signal is weak
and noisy, then the output might only be 1/2 watt.
Please explain how the repeater's transmitter can put out more than 1 watt
(using more power) if the ground station goes well beyond full quieting by
uplinking with let's say 500watts.
Thanks in advance for the explanation.

This is true for all linear transponders, not unique to AO-07. It's the
way linear transponders work; the output power is divided among the
signals within the passband. Once the total transmit power budget is
reached, a station using higher power starts taking power away from the
other stations, thus being a hog. With linear transponders, the best
way to make your signal louder is to work first on your own receive
capability, not the transmit side.
What is a problem with AO-07, however, is that a strong enough station
can cause the satellite to use more power than the very old solar panels
can provide, and cause the satellite to crash and reset. Please be
gentle with this old bird.

Hi Michael,
It can't put out more than what it's capable of, and that's the key here.
First of all, the term "full quieting" signal really only applies to FM
transmission. But what you are saying is correct, that once the total
of all the uplink signals reaches a point where the corresponding total
downlink is "full", more uplink can't change that total.
The point about "hogging" the transponder is that if one of the uplink
stations were to increase its power beyond that level, then to maintain
the downlink limit, the other stations get their share of the downlink
reduced. And with AO-07, if you push it hard enough (not difficult to
do), the satellite will crash and reset. The indication that the
satellite is running dangerously low on power is when the downlink
starts to sound watery ("FM-ing", they call it). More uplink power in
this situation will only make things worse.

GM sat ops,
I am now home in Utah and have just finished uploading all of my satellite
QSOs to LoTW. If you use LoTW, and I hope you do, please remember that
even though I signed C6AQD/MM on the air my uploads do not include the /MM.
Many of you were probably wondering why I was a no show on some of juicy
passes I was in. For instance, on the 0122 to 0145 UTC pass of SO-50 when
I was in FN73 on October 3rd I thought I could operate from my deck, but
then I realized that the pass started on the other side of the ship and
behind me, so on that pass I only worked KB1RVT and KC1EXK. On the next
pass from 0303 to 0315 UTC, however, I went topside and was able to work
ten stations from FN73.
Since this was a cruise that included my XYL and another couple the
prearranged plans we had made it so that I missed operating from FN63 on
10/05/16 for the 0148 to 0201 UTC pass of SO-50.
I was hoping to work FN51 and thought for sure it was going to happen
because near the top third of the grid we were traveling at only 8 knots
but by the time the sat passed over I noticed we had sped up considerably
to 22 knots and were in FN50. Not only was that a disappointment for
missing FN51 but my receiver went deaf and on the 1628 to 1640 UTC pass of
SO-50 on 10/06/16 I only worked one station, KB1RVT, and he was very weak.
On the next pass, 1808 to 1821 UTC, we were in FN60 and I heard absolutely
nothing from the sat. That's when I concluded that I must have an open or
a shorted coax cable.
As a reminder, please upload my call as C6AQD without the /MM. Also, If
you have already uploaded our QSO and LOTW doesn't show the contact
credited to you then let me know via this email address
lee.ernstrom@xxxxxxxx.xxx and I will recheck my upload to make sure we
match.
For those of you who don't use LOTW and would like a paper QSL send me an
email and I will get you one. No need for your card nor SASE, just send an
email request.
I made 50 contacts on this cruise from these grids: FN50, FN52, FN61, FN72,
FN73 and FN84. I hope I made some of you happy :)
Doc, C6AQD/MM (WA7HQD)

An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at Stephen F. Austin Elementary School, Brazosport ISD, Jones
Creek, Texas on 10 Oct. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately
16:46 UTC. It is recommended that you start listening approximately 10
minutes before this time.The duration of the contact is approximately 9
minutes and 30 seconds. The contact will be a telebridge between NA1SS and
VK5ZAI. The contact should be audible over portions of Australia and
adjacent areas. Interested parties are invited to listen in on the 145.80
MHz downlink. The contact is expected to be conducted in English.
Stephen F. Austin is a STEM academy located in Jones Creek, Texas on the
Gulf Coast. It serves students in pre-kindergarten through the sixth grade.
Its mission is to develop and empower the whole student with the capacity to
excel in an ever-changing world. Its teachers believe that all children can
learn, given the proper time and resources. Its ultimate goal is to nurture
students into productive, prepared and highly functional citizens.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. What dream or desire did you have that made you want to be an astronaut?
2. How long did you have to train before going to the ISS?
3. Is it more important to be physically or mentally prepared for outer
space?
4. What happens if a crew member needs medical attention not available on
the ISS?
5. What is the most challenging part about staying on the ISS?
6. What is the most important thing astronauts do to help the Earth?
7. What happens to your bones when you return to Earth?
8. What do you find most interesting about space?
9. What do you do if something, such as a meteorite, hits the ISS?
10. Does blood rush to your head when you are upside down, and how does it
feel?
11. How does living and working in space affect your life upon returning
home?
12. Do you ever get motion sickness with having less gravity in space?
13. Do you ever lose power on the ISS, and if so how do you regain it?
14. What kind of degrees do you have to have to be an astronaut?
15. How does your body react when you come back to Earth?
16. How do you shower on the ISS?
17. What happens if something malfunctions like the tracking system or radio
on the ISS?
18. How does your job from the ISS continue once you return to Earth?
19. What is the coolest thing you have done in space?
20. What sensations do you notice when you first return to Earth?
21. What do you do in your spare time on the ISS?
22. What experiments do you do on the ISS?
23. How does NASA or other space agencies send satellites into space?
24. How many hours does it take for a satellite to orbit the Earth?
25. What's the longest time you can be in space before it hurts your body
too much?
26. What are the different jobs you can do in space?
27. What is the point of going to the ISS?
28. Does the food you eat help your bones stay strong?
29. How do you collect samples of things in space and bring them back to

The primary goal of ARISS is to promote exploration of science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics (STEM) topics by organizing scheduled contacts
via amateur radio between crew members aboard the ISS and students in
classrooms or informal education venues. With the help of experienced
amateur radio volunteers, ISS crews speak directly with large audiences in a
variety of public forums. Before and during these radio contacts, students,
teachers, parents, and communities learn about space, space technologies,
and amateur radio. For more
information, see www.ariss.org, www.amsat.org, and www.arrl.org.

Its mission is to develop and empower the whole student with the capacity to
excel in an ever-changing world. Its teachers believe that all children can
learn, given the proper time and resources. Its ultimate goal is to nurture
students into productive, prepared and highly functional citizens.
