I caught one of these transmissions when they first tested ARISSat-1 earlier in the year using only a HT with a simple homebrew 70cm yagi like the ones listed below\n\nhttp://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/information/faqs/crow/JulAug06AmsatJournal.pdf\nhttp://www.ea4cax.com/paginaea4cyq/cju/cjuingles.pdf\nhttp://www.wa5vjb.com/references/Cheap%20Antennas-LEOs.pdf\n\nI've built all 3, but the easiest, I think, is the one from AMSAT (Richard Crow N2SPI). The instructions are *VERY* detailed. I take it you're a school teacher? Even your students can build it. I made mine from 10 gage solid copper wire because I couldn't find the aluminum grounding wire, but everything else can be purchased from RadioShack (The Source in Canada, eh). Even if ARISSat-1 doesn't \"fly\", pardon the pun, you'll still have a decent downlink antenna for the other FM satellites.\n\nAll the best and have fun!\n\n73's Peter VE7NGP\n\n-----Original Message-----\nFrom: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of jerry\nSent: Wednesday, July 06, 2011 8:38 PM\nTo: [email protected]\nSubject: [amsat-bb] ARISSat-1\n\nAfter years of anticipating the launch of SuitSat-2 and then ARISSat-1 , I for one have lost My interest in it. I think even with peak performance , it will take a class \"a\" ground station to hear any of the formats We're expecting . Definitely not a school project . I hope it proves Me wrong .\n\nJerry WB5LHD\n_______________________________________________\nSent via [email protected]. Opinions expressed are those of the author.\nNot an AMSAT-NA member?
