Since the data was restored this morning, I no longer see CAS-6 in the list
and it has dropped out of my tracking program.
Is there now another name?
The good news is that a JK station reports TLM from CAS-6 at 1130z this
morning.

Has anyone made a portable rotator AZ/EL using a rasberry. I see sat

Hasan,
We are suffering from the usual
confusion<https://www.amsat.org/why-is-there-so-much-tle-confusion-when-new-cu
besats-are-launched/> after a cubesat deployment. Last week we had a
candidate object for CAS-6 in the list, but since we have no confirmed
reception and doppler analysis, we are not sure which object is CAS-6. You
can use FLORIPASAT elements since that spacecraft shared a ride to orbit,
but the actual pass for CAS-6 will be several minutes early or late, we
simply don't know at this time.

>From the Keps mailing list:
"CAS-6 was launched as a piggyback satellite on TIANQIN-1 on December 20,
2019 via a CZ-4B launch vehicle from Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center. Still
awaiting a satellite signal, thus the CAT ID has not been positively
identified as yet. More later.

Hi,I have a Kenwood TS2000.I can hear stations on the SSB sats but can seem

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Hi 9700 Owners and Users--
Erich DK1TB has graciously added a spectrum scope window for the IC-9700.
If you read his instructions on this page, and get the new SatPC32
download---you'll have the option of doing so. You'll have to update your
SatPC32 install with the currently available package.
http://www.dk1tb.de/indexeng.htm
Only point to make very clear--you'll need both an "old" style Icom CAT
control interface/cable for radio control AND the USB cable from the radio
to the computer; the USB comport is used for the spectrum display only in
this configuration, and the CAT cable is used for radio control.
And yes--you can click on the spectrum and the radio frequency follows :)
Read it all carefully--it worked first shot here.
Thanks, Erich!!

The satnogs rotator is a good start for DIY as Don had mentioned. It uses
a homebrew tracker that is controlled by hamlib. There is also
https://www.portablerotation.com/ for an off-the-shelf solution. I
believe this can also be controlled via hamlib (and thus a raspberry pi
running GPredict should be able to control it).

Not exactly a Pi but you may look into the following project I did a few
years ago, for a field day sat station -

Hi!
I plan on making a quick trip to the DM22/DM32 grid boundary for a few
hours tomorrow (Saturday, 28 December 2019). This location is east of
Yuma in southwestern Arizona, near the I-8 freeway. I should be out
there for the AO-91 and AO-92 passes starting after 1730 UTC for a few
hours, and might be out there for one or two of the XW-2A passes before
that time. I know there will be some overlapping of the AO-91 and AO-92
pass times tomorrow, and will try to work the AO-91 passes before
switching over to AO-92.
My drive out to the DM22/DM32 grid boundary should show up on APRS as
WD9EWK-9, on sites like:
http://aprs.fi/WD9EWK-9
Updates during my time out there will be posted on my @?????? Twitter
feed. If you don't use Twitter, you can see these updates in a web
browser at:
http://twitter.com/WD9EWK
QSOs will be uploaded to Logbook of the World after the trip. If you
would like to receive a QSL card for any contacts made out there,
please e-mail me directly with the QSO details. No need to first send
me your QSL card and/or an SASE. If you're in my log, I will be happy
to send you a WD9EWK DM22/DM32 QSL card.

Dear Friends,
>From Sat-28-Dec-2019 11-UTC to Wed-1-Jan-2020 18-UTC, ARISS plans to
broadcast SSTV from the ISS in 145,800 KHz FM in PD-120 mode in
commemoration of cosmonaut Alexei Leonov.
Who made in 1975 the first human space walk from the spaceship Vosjod,
orbiting earth at 500 kilometers of altitude.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexei_Leonov
It is an excellent opportunity to excersize and optimize your SSTV reception
by receiving and/or completing images applicable to the ARISS/SSTV Diploma
(electronic and free) with bases on http://amsat.org.ar?f=9
We appreciate share your images by uploading them to
http://amsat.org.ar/?f=iss
Aids and Recommendations:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yXhBHZ1qPt_-VSSWtWf15fU8kbfBSvu7RN2Pm5P1AD

It is suggested to use RX-SSTV available at
