AO-51 Power Level
by John Marranca, Jr 28 Aug '08

28 Aug '08

Hello all.... Well, after a long hiatus this summer, I have been finding the time again to work the satellites. However, last night's AO-51 pass had me rather dismayed....I could barely hear it at 45 degrees for a pass. Has the power level for 51 been reduced, and if so, what is she running? Thanks all, and see you again this Autumn. John KB2HSH -- _______________________________ John Marranca, Jr PBX Technician/Shop Steward CWA Local 1122 BN Systems, Inc Orchard Park, NY (716)972-2006

For instance what is Mode A, B, A/B, J and so on? Thanks Tyler, KI4YLJ Hi Tyler. This is a little historic. Having moved away from these descriptions about 10 years ago they seem to be returning. Personally I prefer the more descriptive Mode U/V first letter uplink second letter downlink UHF up VHF down or L/S V/U S/X etc etc. Never could remember them then.......and still can't now. David

Scotland trip
by John Mock KD6PAG 27 Aug '08

27 Aug '08

We're in Kilmartin, Scotland (IO76) for a couple more days. Alas, our previous place has poor horizons and the midges were so bad i could only do local passes from inside our self-catering unit. Talked to many Europeans but no chance for the East Coast. Here, our horizons are MUCH better; alas, no East Coast folk on the two passes i tried. Look for me early morning EDT on AO-51 (06:00-ish, maybe one pass near 08:00) and late afternoons (15:00-17:30) on AO-51 and SO-50. But the most overlaps are only a few minutes, so we shall see... Thanks for the QSOs; 73's and good luck! -- KD6PAG

27 Aug '08

Hi all, Today morning 27/8/2008 @08.00Z, I tried DO-64 (orbit #1793) but nothing heard through the transponder. ( I am not talking about the Beacon, I did not try to listen it.) Is it the transponder OFF? 73 de Mak, SV1BSX

CUTE-1.7+APDII Earth Movie
by Mineo Wakita 27 Aug '08

27 Aug '08

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgcGLOPNJDI Grand Station says: We release the movie taken by Cute-1.7 +APD II. It was taken above Japan. The movie is very short. But, it is the 1st movie taken by 3 kg satellite in the world. From this movie, we could confirm that the satellite rotates at about 0.2 rad/s. We are planning to take pictures and movies continuously. So we're very happy if you cooperate in our operation. This movie was taken at 2008/07/17 0:02:14(UTC)
