Users will find\nthat their signals may disappear during short periods when the\nsatellite's primary beacon is active.  Once the primary beacon's\ntransmission is finished, the transponder will go back to normal.  The\n145.15 MHz telemetry from FUNcube-2 is being copied a bit higher at\n145.16 MHz.  Users have noted that the transponder uplink is roughly\n13-15 KHz high as well.\n\n[ANS thanks Clayton W5PFG for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nBahamas Satellite Activation\n\nGabriel Zeifman, KM4RTS, made a successful satellite activation of the\nBahamas as C6AGZ on Sunday, June 19.  He reports that his Logbook of\nthe World certificate has been approved and he will soon be uploading\nthe contacts.  Following his activation of the Bahamas, he activated\nseveral grid squares via satellite on a trip to Oklahoma City where he\nwill reside following his recent college graduation.  A relative\nnewcomer to satellites, Gabriel has been steadily improving his\nportable station and now operates all FM and linear SSB transponders\nwith ease using a pair of Yaesu FT-817ND transceivers and an Arrow II\nsatellite antenna.\n\n[ANS thanks Clayton W5PFG for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nFinal Call For Speakers For The AMSAT-UK Colloquium 2016\n\nFinal call for speakers for the AMSAT-UK Colloquium 2016 which will\nbe held from Saturday, July 29 to Sunday, July 31, 2016 at the\nHoliday Inn, Guildford, GU2 7XZ, United Kingdom:\n\nhttps://amsat-uk.org/colloquium/\n\nAMSAT-UK invites speakers, to cover topics about Amateur satellites,\nCubeSats, Nanosats, space and associated activities, for this event.\n\nThey are also invited to submit papers for subsequent publishing on\nthe AMSAT-UK web site or Oscar News.\n\nThose wishing to participate should contact Dave, G4DPZ, dave at\ng4dpz dot me dot uk\n\n[ANS thanks Dave, G4DPZ for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nCY9C St. Paul Island Expedition June Update\n\nCY9C ST.
