Radio Interference on AO-27
by Larry Teran 28 Oct '10

28 Oct '10

I think there were some post on the past about this topic. Today 10/28/2010 on the AO-27 pass around 2049z we heard some signal of two people getting into the satellite, I was able to recognize the accent and they were from Central or South America as I can hear they were talking about the results from a medical testing that makes me think about a hospital or a medical laboratory. the satellite reach it's high altitude from me at 45 degrees they no longer interfere, thats when the Central America region went out from the foot print, Last year in Mexicali Mexico we spot a company that uses ISS down link freq 145.800 Mhz to communicate on simplex, as soon as we get their phone number by monitoring for a few days we give them a courtesy call and they politely agree to change their operating freq. I did not record the audio from this pass but would like to get it to see if we can get more details. 73's Larry KI6YAA

My tape recorder stopped on the last pass, I have a callsign on the log I thought was WA8JDR in EN44, but qrz.com says no good. Anyone know who it was? Thanks, Mike Kb8zgl

In amsat webpage there is only ao-51, is there any other satellite or not? another question is about ao-51, for receiving from ao-51 in s-band which technical specification of antenna is need? Is there need to track the satellite in s-band, or not, the position of antenna(azimuth & elevation) is fix. i mean is there need to locate antenna up the rotator? Any help would be gratefully appreciated. Best Regards. N.Mahdinejad

SatPC32 options not saving.
by Tom Schuessler 27 Oct '10

27 Oct '10

Hello all, I recently bought the current version of SatPC32 from AMSAT and have installed it on two different computers each running Windows 7 67 bit. The programs run fine but when changes are made to the "Options" dialog, they do not stick after the program is restarted. The userdata folder is apparently this path C:\Users\Tom\AppData\Roaming\SatPC32. What is the file in this that stores these settings and why would it not be written to? Have others experienced this issue? Would like to fix this as I have a demo coming up and want to have the program work properly.
