Greetings,
The ISS will be doing a re-boost Feb. 4, 2009.
The last re-boost a week or two ago surprised
and confounded a few people judging by the
postings to the BBS. Now you know.

Lots of noise on AO-51 prevented me from getting clear download of pictures. Did get two that were clear enough to see they were from WP4CNU and KB2HSH. Several interfering carriers came on several times during SSTV transmissions. Anyone who is copying pictures please let us know if we are getting through. Copies of pictures would also be appreciated. Don't know if I succeeded last night or not.
Thanks & 73,

I was reading the post concerning the Kepler files in SATPC 32. I think I
might be having trouble with getting the recent downloads. I don't see any
of the new SATS. I have enabled SATPC32 in my firewall. Here is what is in
my Kepler folder:
Amatur.txt 11/11/2007
Doppler.SQF.txt 10/10/2008
geo.txt 11/12/2007
intelsat.txt 11/11/2007
nasa.all 11/18/2007
noaa.txt 9/1/2005
weather.txt 11/11/2007
The files look old, is that right?

So far as Ib OZ1MY mentions
PRISM is OBJECT B (sure)
STARS is OBJECT G (99% sure)
KKS-1 is OBJECT H (99% sure)
congratulations to all the new Japanese sat groups

Ryan,
Checked this morning, and the Celestrak server is working fine. The usual
problem with downloading is a firewall which needs an exception to permit
SATPC32 to access the Internet. If your program was downloading, and now
isn't, I would still check the firewall for blockage. If all else fails,
cut the URL from the Celestrak.SQF file and paste it into the URL window of
your browser. You should get the desired file, which you can save as a text
file, and then copy it to the Kepler directory. Make certain you get the
right directory. It will be something like
C:\Documents and Settings\WA4SCA\Application Data\SatPC32\Kepler
There will be other Kepler directories, but they are for backup and default
data.
Let us know the results.

> Iss in packet mode (Orbit 58,375) - 145.800
- and I just listened in on the 0305z pass here from Huntsville...
I heard some packets, but couldn't decode anything.
Also don't see any current beacons via findu .. ..
Signal seemed pretty weak.
Any other reports ? Maybe I just got out of practice .?.
Thanks /;^)

On January 25 at 2040 EDT my transceiver was left on 145.800mhz and i hear a couple of packet burst. ISS was not in view at that time and
no other packet cube sat orbits seems to match? Is it something i heard in direct? the signal fade and he was shifting in frequency exactly
as it was coming from a satellite?
Any clues?
