Hello Matthias, How are you? I used US (144.490) uplink setup to work Doug, that seems they don´t change to Europe channels while a pass. You must try always the two frequencies. Good luck and congratulations dor 3th place at World Cup! :-) you do better than us in Brazil this time! :) 73 Fabiano CT7ABD 2010/7/11 Matthias Bopp <matthias.bopp(a)gmx.de> > Hi Fabiano, > > how do you do ? > > Congrats to the contact ! > > Which up- and downlink frequencies were used ? > > Regards > > Matthias > > www.dd1us.de > > > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: amsat-bb-bounces(a)amsat.org [mailto:[email protected]] Im > Auftrag von Fabiano Moser > Gesendet: Sonntag, 11.

TIsat-1 Launch
by Daniel Kekez 11 Jul '10

11 Jul '10

[Re-posted on behalf of Paolo HB9TYP] Hi All, TIsat-1 HB9DE is to be launched aboard the Indian PSLV-C15 on 12th July 2010 from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota (SDSC-SHAR), Andhra Pradesh, India. The lift off is at 03:52 UTC and the TIsat-1 is to be injected into orbit around 04:11 UTC. The CW beacon would be transmitting at the earliest at 04:26 UTC, 15 minutes after separation from the launcher. Beacon Frequency is 437.305 MHz (400 mW). The predicted TLE for TIsat-1 is as follows: TIsat-1 1 99998U 10034Y 10193.17708333 .00002592 00000-0 35304-3 0 00007 2 99998 098.1177 252.3288 0008033 272.0048 315.2117 14.78702228001648 During its first orbit, starting about 04:50 UTC, stations around West and North Mexico, Western Coast of US, followed by Canada, Alaska, North and Central Asia would be able to receive the beacon signal. We kindly request stations over these regions to listen on to the beacon frequency and provide us with their valuable reports. This help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. For the SUPSI-SpaceLab student team, 73, -Paolo, HB9TYP E-mail: spacelab(a)supsi.ch supsi_radioclub(a)linux3.dti.supsi.ch P.S.: TIsat-1 is part of the Nanosatellite Launch Service 6 (NLS-6) cluster payload from the Space Flight Laboratory (SFL) at the University of Toronto, Institute for Aerospace Studies (UTIAS).

Hi! I will work one more pass from Whistler Mountain, the AO27 pass at 2121 UTC. It will probably be a minute into the 7-minute time before I can hear the downlink, but I will try for it. 73! Patrick VA7EWK/WD9EWK http://www.wd9ewk.net/

StudSat Launch
by Mani VU2WMY 10 Jul '10

10 Jul '10

Hi All, I am posting this mail on behalf of the StudSat 'Team Lead'. 'StudSat' is to be launched aboard the Indian PSLV C 15 on 12th July 2010. The lift off is at 03:52 Z and the StudSat is to be injected into orbit around 04:12 Z. The CW beacon would be 'ON' at 04:42 Z, ie 30 minutes after separation from the launcher. Beacon Frequency is 437.861 Mhz (10 mW). During its first pass, around 04:50 Z, stations around west and North Mexico, Western Coast of US, Canada, Alaska, and North Asia would be able to receive the beacon signal. We request stations over these regions to kindly listen on to the beacon frequency and provide us with their valuable reports. These initial reports are the only means for us to confirm on the 'Beacon ON' until it is visible over VU land. This help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Mani, VU2WMY Secretary & Station-In-Charge Upagrah Amateur Radio Club VU2URC ISRO Satellite Centre Airport Road, Bangalore-560 017.
