HITSAT - Object J
by Colin Hurst 05 Oct '06

05 Oct '06

Over the last two days I have concluded that HITSAT is more likely to be Object J, than Object B. Using Object J, I am able to hold the CW tone, to +/- 100 Hertz, using homebrew software that updates the RX every 1 second. Colin VK5HI.

Hi Colin, do you mean really OBJECT J (NORAD 29491)? Between OBJECT B (29480) and OBJECT J is a time difference of 27 minutes. I can hear HITSAT from AOS to LOS with OBJECT B. But a correction of -1KHz in CW Mode (FT-736R with small filters) is necessary. A second question: the RCS of OBJECT B is 9.0. That seems to me for a Cubesat much too largely. 73, Mike DK3WN ----- original Nachricht -------- Betreff: [amsat-bb] HITSAT - Object J Gesendet: Do, 05.

Another Source of 2.4 GHz Interference ?
by Trevor 05 Oct '06

05 Oct '06

Nokia have announced a new short-range wireless technology called Wibree, see http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/5403564.stm It's claimed it can be used in intelligent jewelry, watches as well as more conventional applications. No information on the frequencies used is given in the press release but I'm presuming it's 2.4 GHz. 73 Trevor M5AKA --------------- Daily Amateur Radio RSS News: http://www.southgatearc.org/ Email your news items to: editor at southgatearc.org News On Your Website: http://www.southgatearc.org/rss/index.htm News On Your PC: http://www.southgatearc.org/rss/newsreader.htm Upload Your News: http://www.southgatearc.org/news/your_news.htm --------------- ___________________________________________________________ Copy addresses and emails from any email account to Yahoo!

I have an M2 23cm35 at 10 ft. If I were to put up a 7 1/2 ft TVRO dish with a patch feed for 1.2 ghz would I get any more gain or is that a waste of time? Thanks for any info. George

Re: PCSAT-1 (NO-44) Special Event Continues

Nothing heard from PCSAT on the 10/4/06, 2054 UTC pass. Wondering if it is my station... however findu.com has the last entry at 1923 UTC. Anyone else hear it?

PCSAT-1 was resetting to W3ADO-1 a few times (the bad default power negative condition), but as long as the SIDE-B system does not reset at the same time, then PCSAT-1 is recoverable and useable. But as long as people do not use the W3ADO-1 path, but use the other ones above instead, then we should be able to keep PCSAT-1 alive for a few more weeks.
