AO-51 update/information Re: AO-51 BBS Uplink
by Mark L. Hammond 31 Aug '10

31 Aug '10

Hello Franciso, Thank you for your question about the AO-51 PBBS uplink. At this time, there is no uplink available. The reason for this is power budget. AO-51 uses a wide-band receiver, called the SQRX, which we set to 1.2GHz for the PBBS (and for running L-band uplinks during voice repeater operations as well). The receiver draws over 100mA of power, which is rather limited right now. So, we cannot support two trasmitters at useable power levels AND the SQRX right now. Hopefully in the future we can. For the record--Your frequency and mode is correct--although many users (including myself) find that using 1268.703, or even higher, works better. It simply isn't turned ON. We are now running (with power management OFF): FM Repeater, V/U Uplink: 145.920 Mhz FM (no tone needed) Downlink: 435.300 Mhz FM at 500 mW 9k6 PBBS, U Downlink: 435.150 Mhz FM at 265 mW 73, Mark N8MH AO-51 Command Team On Tue, Aug 31, 2010 at 10:00 AM, Francisco Jiménez-Martín Sánchez <ea1jm.fran(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Hello dear friends, > > > > Can anyone confirm if the uplink for the BBS in AO-51 is in 1268.700 at 9k6? > > > > Thanks in advance, > > > > 73 de Fran EA1JM > > _______________________________________________ > Sent via AMSAT-BB(a)amsat.org.

Keps Question
by Perry Yantis 31 Aug '10

The bare 2 line keps do not have the header at the top which the Unitrac program did not want to see. With the bare elements only (no headers description) Unitrac would import the keps with no problem. Perry WB8OTH sent from my Apple IMac

Hello. I am HEILER Ledezma. I am a member of the research team that developed the Colombian picosatellite 'Libertad 1'. We are currently researching about the cubic picosatellites telemetry (CubeSats telemetry). Can someone send me the file of the entire telemetry of CAPE 1, since its launch [17 April 2007] until its last transmission? Similarly, I am willing to continue providing information to those who need it. Thank you.

Transit Satellites
by Dave Marthouse 31 Aug '10

31 Aug '10

With all this talk of the Transit satellites on 149.985MHZ, how are they listed in the keps. I checked for other satellites of interest on the kelso webpage and found navy navigation satellites. There are a few named transit. What Transit birds are we talking about. I want to see how strong their signals are on my scanner. Any information would be appreciated.
