    "content": "Hi!\n\nThere was a nice turnout on the 0147 UTC LilacSat-2 pass\nover the US west coast. Stations up and down the coast, and\nas far east as west Texas, were on. Unlike with the first\nQSO I made on this satellite last week, when it was raining\nvery hard on my operating position in the yard, I was able\nto have a nice and calm evening.\n\nI used my Icom IC-2820H 2m/70cm FM mobile radio for my uplink\ntransmitter, and an SDR setup for the downlink receiver -\nSDRplay SDR receiver, 8-inch Windows 10 tablet with HDSDR\nsoftware - to operate full-duplex. I connected both of these\nthrough a diplexer to my Elk log periodic. I used HDSDR to\nmake an RF recording of both downlinks - the FM repeater\ndownlink around 437.200 MHz, and the digital telemetry\ndownlink around 437.225 MHz. I think I had a better copy on\nthe 437.225 MHz downlink tonight than over the weekend, and\nlogged 6 contacts on the FM repeater.\n\nLast week, when I worked Glenn AA5PK, I was not able to get\nthrough with anything less than 50W transmit power. Tonight\nwas not as bad, but I found that I couldn't get away with 5W\nfor more than a few transmissions. The mid-power setting from\nmy IC-2820H, 15W, worked better. High power (50W) worked well,\ntoo. None of these power levels desensed my SDRplay receiver.\nMaybe if the satellite was higher in the sky, and closer to\npassing over my head, I might have had better luck using the\n5W power level. I saw a mixed reaction on Twitter - one\nreported needing to run 50W, and someone else said 5W was\nsufficient.\n\nRather than posting the long and nasty URLs used by Dropbox\nfor its public folders, I made a shorter URL that can take you\nto the recordings and other files I have been posting in my\npublic Dropbox space:\n\nhttp://dropbox.wd9ewk.net/\n\nFor tonight's LilacSat-2 pass, look for the folder with the\nname \"20150929-LilacSat2\". If you have an SDR program on your\ncomputer or device, and have the bandwidth to download the RF\nrecording, download the WAV file with the name starting with\n\"HDSDR_20150929\" in that folder. I also have an MP3 recording\nwith the audio I heard during the pass, plus photos of my\nback yard setup and a screengrab from my phone's tracking app\nto show how the pass was for me in central Arizona.\n\nLate last week, I made a one-page graphic with a quick-reference\nguide for the LilacSat-2 FM repeater. I now have this graphic\nat its own URL:\n\nhttp://lilacsat2.wd9ewk.net/\n\nPlease feel free to right-click on the graphic and save it to\nyour computer/tablet/device.\n\nThis pass was the 3rd consecutive pass where LilacSat-2's FM\nrepeater was operational over the continental USA. It was nice\nto see the reports from the two earlier passes, and then to\nwork it for myself on the third pass. Thanks to the LilacSat-2\nteam for another FM satellite for us!\n\n73!\n\n\n\n\n\nPatrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK\nhttp://www.wd9ewk.net/\nTwitter: @WD9EWK\n",
