cubesats
by Robert Turlington 10 Jun '08

10 Jun '08

I have been following the pros and cons, plus the usual gripes,about the recent bunch of cubesats with some interest.Thes are a few points that ought to be taken into account:- 1) transmitted telemetry should be in a format that can be decoded, understood and have meaning to the Amateur Radio community. 2) it should have a valid amateur radio call sign if its to be allocated a frequency in the Satellite section of the Amateur Bands.This will make sure that builders are aware of what Amateur Radio is all about and might even encourage some to get a call sign. 3)all beacon frequencies should be kept clear of linear/single channel comsats i.e. 437 and above and channelised to eliminate the Compass/Cute1.7 situation. RS30 doesn't exactly fit into this stuation because it not a cube sat,but it does fall foul of item 1and to some degree 3) as well) I will now sit back and await the flood? of remarks positive or negative!Regards Robert G8ATE _________________________________________________________________ http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/msnnkmgl0010000007ukm/direct/01/

AO-51 MODE U/S
by Luc Leblanc 10 Jun '08

10 Jun '08

It's time to try new antenna on S band here is some results BBQ grill with standard linear feed dipole Very strong and deep fades but signal peak at S9 plus 40 not very usable due to the fades Single patch element a lot less fades but signal reach s9=5 at max WI-FI double 20 yagi elements the best up till now few fade but signal peak at s9 plus 50 at max i believe if i was able to rotate the antenna the fades will be eliminated. It is a WI-FI beam "odd shape" the driven element is in a plastic enclosure and the 2 row of 20 elements begin in a 45 degree shape up the 6th diven element and the two row became parallel at the 7th element until the end of the beam.
