July 10 and 11 we'll be running the camera on AO-92 in support of the ARRL
Teachers Institute. Exact pass times TBD, but expect anything that passes
over Florida in the morning to be possible. More to follow.

Hi Erich, my IC-9700 with firmware 1.11 runs perfectly. I have not seen
the DATA mode mysteriously show up on any satellite.

You can hear Veronica at 00:38 and then I turn the transponder on
after her second transmission at 02:45.
At various times I say what power I'm using, and towards the end what
the elevation was. I definitely got in solid with 5 watts < 10 degrees
at least one point.

Thanks John and Patrick. It really does sound pretty good! It is in a
slightly different mode from back when there were no eclipses. Pretty
impressive that it keeps on plugging along!

Burns and John,
The second AO-85 pass I worked yesterday sounded better than
the earlier pass. I could get into the satellite earlier on
the later pass, and with lower power than I needed earlier. Not
many were on either of the passes I tried. My audio is in the
"Satellite_Audio-2019" folder at http://dropbox.wd9ewk.net/
(look for the file names starting with 20190706 with "AO85" in
the rest of the file name).
73!

Don: What kind of mount do you have to hold your Arrow on the tripod?
I rove and the Arrow sits on a tripod while I sit on my butt.

I do not use a tripod, I hold the Arrow in my hand.
I have the IC-7100 head unit connected to a metal T, available at probably
every hardware store in the US, via the tripod mount on it.
I added a few more pictures to the album,
https://photos.app.goo.gl/q6IMFF4PjYb1c5HO2, one shows the under side of
the control head.

Hi all, getting near the end of the operating time here in Hawaii. I am
currently limited to the east by hills/mountains, so I need like 8 deg ELE
or more, working from BL20ca. Two passes coming up shortly:
7/8 (soon! )
AO-7 pass around 0005 z . Listen for me at 145.938 (at the satellite).
FO-29 pass around 0040z. Very short window with enough elevation, but
I'll try it. Listen 435.882 (at the satellite)
73!

Why not leave the camera on for an entire day or two so people around

It was necessary as a consequence of our original imaging license from NOAA.
We could not image anything other than the surface of the earth, and since
the satellite is stabilized with a bar magnet, the camera points up in the
southern hemisphere. 45 minutes on an ascending pass means the camera is off
by the time it is pointed the wrong way. That's the reason as far as I
remember it. Jerry or Burns might be along to correct me if my memory is
faulty.
You may have some shot at receiving the signal as the ascending passes over
the US go over the pole and down over China and western Japan. I can add
some of those passes if you will be ready to copy.
