Amplifier progress
by Greg KJ6KO 08 Nov '07

08 Nov '07

Hello to all that have amplifiers coming. Just a note to let you know how the first batch of amps is turning out. They don't re-tune quite as well as I thought they would, but are averaging 65W out w/5W input at 1269MHz. When tuned for 1269, the output at 1296 is averaging about 55W. The biggest problem seems to be input tuning. The input return loss changes greatly when moved 28MHz, but is still useable on both ends of the band. I won't let one go out that doesn't do at least 60W minimum with 5W input. I should be getting the first batch out by the end of the week! 73 de Greg

thanks and great job!
by Nate Duehr 07 Nov '07

Thanks once again to Chris Huber, N6ICW for providing the excellent quality audio feed for the Space Shuttle audio on IRLP Reflector 9877. Also thanks to Matt Sturtz KB0KZR for being "on-call" for backup audio feed duties and having built a backup audio feed in case of problems with Chris' system in California, to be used if needed. The IRLP Reflector channel has been placed back into 2-way communications mode, and will be available for comments/discussion, etc... Of course, Chris is still feeding the after-landing audio at this time so any comments/etc will have to "share" with the audio uplink feed until it is disabled. It looks like once again that the landings and launches are the most popular phases of flight (of course): http://www.natetech.com/munin/irlp.net/ref9870.irlp.net-if_eth1.html (The large gap in the bandwidth/telemetry data last night is due to a lockup/failure of the monitoring server, not the Reflector.) Congratulations to STS-120 and Commander Pam Melroy for an excellent flight, and some very interesting on-orbit repair work of a damaged solar array. Quite impressive! 73, -- Nate Duehr, WY0X nate(a)natetech.com

Hi, I'm trying to debug the Linux version of PB/PG. Having never used it before. Are there any small files on the satellite that I could get it to attempt to download while attempting to debug it? And I apologies to GO-32 users for the intrusion. Regards de John EI7IG

need Symposium photos
by David J 06 Nov '07

06 Nov '07

I have been asked to do a presentation on our 2007 AMSAT Symposium for next week at our local QCWA meeting. I need some more photos in addition to what had taken. If you have a few that are interesting and can send them that would be great. If you have or know of any links to web sites that have them posted and I can download them, that is even better. PLEASE DO NOT SEND TO AA4KN(a)AMSAT.ORG. Only send them to n4csitwo(a)bellsouth.net. Thanks and 73s, Dave, AA4KN

GO-32, Linux, PBPG.
by John Ronan 06 Nov '07

06 Nov '07

Success, I managed to get APRS packets through GO-32 from both the mobile and home station. With all that other data flying past, I was going to try out PBPG but PB is segfaulting. Is there anyone running it successfully on linux at the moment? I'm just wondering before I go confusing myself by looking at the code :) Regards de John EI7IG

Alogger, UI-VIEW filter
by Chris Bloy 06 Nov '07

06 Nov '07

Hi all, Just a quick question to ask, I have been playing with Alogger to see if I can see only the PCSAT/ANDE/ISS traffic. I have set a p/ARISS/PCSAT* etc, is this only for passing traffic to the server? Anyway I can get that info to my UI-VIEW/ALOGGER pc? Thanks, Chris
