Trevor,
Thanks for the valuable input.
Here also there is no specific legislation about SDR, but the legislation
includes a restriction about importing any equipment capable of intercepting
any radio communication. The possession of same is not really forbidden
legally and also there has been no case of prosecution against anyone in
spite hundreds around. But in order to import legally same for promoting the
hobby (for schools/Universities) and to encourage the legislators to change
the law we need some arguments and this is the whole purpose of my mail,
also to show the the best practices worldwide.
Thus feedback form one and all about their own legislation worldwide will be
surely helpful.

My Mom's Prius V definitely puts out some intermittent QRM I can hear on 2m
FM with my HT inside. I don't think it's enough to be a problem though.
I am looking to get a car and was looking at the Honda Insight which is
also a hybrid. I was planning on taking a second test drive but making the
salesperson drive it so I could tune around on the HT and check for
interference. Was also thinking of taking an SDR and laptop which would be
easier and more effective but I don't have one currently. That would
probably be their most unusual test drive but I'm sure they would
accommodate it since they want your money.
Now I'm thinking of getting a regular used car so I'm not as worried. But
I've definitely been passed by regular cars with my mobile on in the past
and gotten wiped out. It makes me wonder what the hell is wrong with their
car or how I'd deal with it if it was mine!

Typically worn out spark plug wires will cause a lot of QRM but as more cars
use a coil on each cylinder this isn?t as much of a problem as it used to be.

Message-ID: <00ac01d536cd$34b43ac0$9e1cb040$@?????.???>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
I have been able to activate the PSK31 transponder with as little as 20
watts when the satellite was at TCA and about 80 watts when closer to the
horizon.
I am using a Zero-Five 10-40GP vertical antenna which is about 27 feet in
length.
I learned that the PSK-31 will continue to run even when the SSTV is active.
If the PSK-31 receive audio is kept between about 500 Hz to 1000 Hz and
above about 2500 Hz it will not get interfered with from the SSTV
transmission. In other words, set the 10 Meter uplink between 29.4785 and
29.4790 or between about 29.4805 and 29.4810 to stay out of the SSTV audio
range.

Michelle,
Not at all, I was not even aware of it and just read his story after
receiving your mail.
The purpose of my research about legislation on SDR is purely to enable
official importation of same here as the ICT Act here presently forbid
importation of any equipment (vague wording) which may be use to intercept
radio communication. Depending on interpretation a SDR may be construed as
falling in this category, to note that possession of same or using it is not
an offense under the law here (except if you misuse information collected).
I am working on a project to equip many schools with receiving ground
station (VHF-UHF) to promote education and Radio Ham, therefore need to
import may SDR.
Thanks for the info.

Last evening I went to the premiere of the documentary film Armstrong, which
charts a life of astronaut Neil Armstrong.
Throughout the film it shows his home in Wapakoneta Ohio on numerous
occasions throughout the film. Attached to this house is a mast with a beam
antenna and in the garden are several vertical antennas.
I cannot see any mention of Neil Armstrong being a radio ham so does anybody
know if the current owner of the house is a radio ham or perhaps this is
just a random house that happens to have a mast and antennas?

Dear AMSAT member,
Firstly, thanks for sending a congratulatory message to the Radio Amateur
Society of Thailand under the Patronage of His Majesty the King (RAST) for
the successful launch of the JAISAT-1 Satellite. The JAISAT-1 Project team
has been informed by RAST President Dr Jakkree Hantongkom who had direct
contacted to German Orbital Systems (GOS) which had informed him of
problems relating to the beacon of the JAISAT-1 satellite and currently the
JAISAT-1 satellite is in the process of the commissioning of various
systems and getting them ready for use.
GOS needs to use the beacon on the frequency of 435.700 MHz first before
commissioning various systems for three satellites, namely JAISAT-1,
LightSat and EXOCONNEXT, which are all using the Dstar One platform. In
order for ease of control and to complete the commissioning of various
functions it is necessary for GOS to use the Engineering Frequency of
435.700 MHz while the three satellites have orbits spaced apart allowing
for GOS to adjust the operating frequencies separately. For JAISAT-1 the
frequency is 435.325 MHz for as has been assigned by the IARU for the
control of satellite operations.
For the JAISAT-1 satellite, RAST has received funds from the NBTC's
Broadcasting and Telecommunications Research and Development Fund for the
Public Interest (BTFP) with support being made in periodic payments.
According to the satellite progress report, RAST will be obliged to pay GOS
a fee as a guarantee for successfully sending the satellite into space and
to achieve this RAST needs to file a report to the BTFP in order to receive
the funding for this payment.
Consequently, RAST is making request for urgent assistance from AMSAT
members around the world to listen for the JAISAT-1 Beacon signal on
435.700 MHz in GMSK Mobitex 4K8 mode, according to the advice from Mr Vlad
Choreny as follows (Frames 1 in row 11):
11 (0x0B) - LightSat UHF1
12 (0x0C) - LightSat UHF2
41 (0x29) - JAISAT UHF1
42 (0x2A) - JAISAT UHF2
51 (0x33) - EXO connect UHF1
52 (0x34) - EXO connect UHF2
The Radio Amateur Society of Thailand (RAST) and the JAISAT-1 Project Team
are urgently seeking row data that can be received from all packets
worldwide. Please send Row data and KSS files to RAST by email at
jaisatonetele@?????.??? so that RAST will be able to report the reception
of signals from around the world to submit in a report to the BTFP to
demonstrate that the GOS commissioning of all functions is complete up to
and including the testing of the Linear Transponder in Mode-J that we will
ask AMSAT members to test in the future.
RAST therefore requests AMSAT members worldwide to gather information and
send the details to RAST so that the society will be able to submit a
report to the BTFP fund so that it will grant the final payment for GOS.
With the JAISAT-1 launch, RAST has enabled AMSAT members worldwide to use
the JAISAT-1 from now on.
Please be informed accordingly.
Sincerely and with respect
Tanan Rangseeprom
Project Manager of JAISAt-1
