Here is a wire component (not smd!) source for a 7MHz (>2nd IF?) SDR receiver:

An experimental package developed by Shrewsbury School pupils is part of the
UK-DMC2 should have been launched earlier this evening.
The pupils experiment aims to measure variations in the ionosphere, which can
affect the accuracy and safety of satellite navigation systems, and might also
help to provide indications of impending earthquakes
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/8171327.stm
It good to see schools getting actively involved in space experiments.
You can see a video of the Space Experiment Competition award ceremony last
year at

Martin G3YJO can be seen at 13:40 and 31:00 into the video.

Greetings
I realize my thinking is probably an over simplification.? The Shuttle can
pack about 38,000lb to a 51 degree orbit.? Even a?25 Lb satellite would only
be about?less that one?tenth of one percent of that. ? With the shuttle going
up every few months, we "could" have a bunch of fun birds up there.? Could we
not have a few small bucket sized satellites sitting on the shelf ready to
go?? Preferably with a sort of L/S band capability, we only have AO-51 that
can do that, and that is seldom.? It will be over 100 degree F. ?in Seattle
today, I have one cool room, with little to do but think about this stuff.

I was just on FO-29 this evening from JO45pk as OZ/KO4MA/Portable. I had good

And Hmm. With a closer look I just realised that the telemetry is
pure AX.25 rather than APRS. Having said that TELEM appears to be
a legitimate APRS destination address.
However, that would make the first S of SYS the "APRS Data Type
Identifier", which strictly speaking is listed as "Do not use"
Any IGATE authors on here know if their IGATE code is that strict ?
or if it's likely to pass these packets anyhow ? I wonder if the
packet payload length (~142 characters) would prevent the IGATE
s/w passing the packets onto APRS-IS ?

Ok,
The next question is then,, WHY? when all we ever hear all the time is
Bitch ,, Bitch,, BITCH,,, about the high cost per pound to get something
into orbit?
Here again, instead of thick shell, why not pack in some useful
electronics?

It has about a million killowatt hours of expendable batteries to keep it
going for a year or more.
The sphere is solid metal because the entire satellite is built inside the
antenna.

According to the telemetry examples:
KD4HBO-1 for castor, and
POLLUX-1 for pollux
No idea if the KD4 call was just used for testing, or if it's
going to be used in flight. Guess we'll have to wait for AOS
to be sure.

The reason for the heavy mass is to support the atmospheric drag
study. The satellites are near perfect spheres, I think 32 micron
roughness. Castor is stuffed pretty tight with electronics, and
instruments and still was not enough. There are 112 D cell Lithium
batteries stuffed in there.
Pollux is lighter and actually had to have the shells thinned a bit to
meet the lower mass requirement and has only 28 D cells. The cells are
19 AH lithium primary cells.
Since power is very limited, stuffing it with electronics was not an
option. Castor needs to run on batteries for a year while Pollux 6
months. Pollux is expected to reenter in a little less than 6 months.
Castor will come back in a year.

Greetings,
I am liquidating most of my ham radio collection due to
the fact that the house that I am renting is going into foreclosure
due to the landlords negligance. I need to amass some money to make
sure that I can get another house to rent for my wife and kids.
They come first, so my ham radio stuff must go.
I have about 55 ham radio related books, from HF and qrp books,
to vhf and uhf. Arrl and rsgb books. Arrl Handbooks, Joseph carr
books, ,Microwave projects,Etc....
I will also be listing a project ts-440s. all the parts are there,
I bought replacement parts from East Coast Transistor, it just needs
reassembled. I will also probably be listing the Kenwood T599a and
R599a set that I have.
Please check under the EBAY user ID of amreviewer102. Please check
later tonight,
as the wife is currently listing items
Thanks for listening and allowing me to post.

Hi
Really good copy on the downlink pass 1607 -1617 Zulu of the ARISS School
Link on 145.800 Mhz.
Excellent audio quality and another fine set of questions and answers.
Congratulations once again for another success in this role play for
