RS30 = Yubileinya
by andy thomas 24 May '08

24 May '08

Yubileinya - Rob G8ate's Keps are almost right - sending RS30 in CW on 435 314 (perhaps slightly up) plus carrier plus what could be sstv in usb mode. From AOS, she seems to be commanded from northern site e.g. Plesestk. y3 de andy G0SFJ __________________________________________________________ Sent from Yahoo! Mail.

WOW !! What a footprint from these Objects... Slightly higher the AO-7 Just over 1500 km... Very nice and congrats to the builders and the launch team...

YUBILEINY Satellite heard this afternoon
by Robert Turlington 24 May '08

24 May '08

Hi All I monitored the new Russian Satellite YUBILIENY this afternoon on a frequency of 435.315 +/- doppler object number 32954 matched LOS very closely. The Sat transmitted a mixture of cw,carrier and some sort of Digital FM?Regards Robert G8ATE _________________________________________________________________ Great deals on almost anything at eBay.co.uk.

SEEDS II in Digitalker/sstv
by andy thomas 24 May '08

24 May '08

SEEDS II sending digitalker and sstv this morning (but this time I was expecting packet!!) Heard very solemn recitation by YL with support from what sounded like a school choir. I have a 50" .WAV file I'm ging to work on with Cool Edit. ICOm IC910H, Wimo helix for 70cm fixed at max-el (about 40 degrees). Will try again tonight. 73 de andy G0SFJ __________________________________________________________ Sent from Yahoo! Mail. A Smarter Email http://uk.docs.yahoo.com/nowyoucan.html

Operating ssb/cw hamsats
by Dave Guimont 23 May '08

23 May '08

I inadvertently deleted a question from someone the other day on operating ssb/cw hamsats, along with several other messages.. Not sure if it was addressed to amsat-bb, you may have the answer. If not, get Marty Davidoff's SATELLITE EXPERIMENTERS HANDBOOK..a wealth of information... And go to www.observations.biz for a wealth of information on satellites in general. If interested in "rolling your own" I've posted a few construction articles at: http://home.san.rr.com/doguimont/uploads VO52 has a very strong signal always, and A07 has been ssb/cw for some time, but subject to outages... Mail me again if you wish... 73, Dave, WB6LLO dguimon1(a)san.rr.com Disagree: I learn.... Pulling for P3E...

Re: SatPC32 Icom706 Subtone enable for AO-51
by Mark L. Hammond 23 May '08

23 May '08

Hi Robert, Not a direct answer to your question---but AO-51 doesn't require any subtones for operation at this time :) 73, Mark N8MH --- I am using SatPC32 to control a pair of IC706MkIIG's. The CAT control with the SubTone "T" feature does not enable the subtone when trying to use AO-51. I enable the sub tone on the IC706 Uplink xcvr, toggle the T button to T1, but as soon as CAT control changes the frequency to allow for doppler shift, the tone function is disabled in the xcvr by the program even though T1 in the program is still enabled. What is the correct instruction code to enter in the SubTone.SQF file in SatPC32 for the IC706. The current command line in the file reads: AO-51,67.0,$3F,1. Any help is greatly appreciated. 73, Robert W6RQR -- Mark L. Hammond [N8MH]
