"beg my puddin'"
by K4FEG 28 Oct '11

28 Oct '11

pardon my caps lock on my post, I thought I was on the AO51 afternoon pass and I was yelling at the bird! in reference to the "lapsed" call heard on AO-51: Apparently several people heard/worked the station in question, the lapse could be an oversight or someone picked up this persons call. Based on what I heard the operator had been around the satellites previously. Maybe some one around him locally can ask him if he knows that the call has lapsed. The old FCC data base had him located in Alabama and he was giving out a grid locator of EL98, maybe he moved and lost track of his renewal date. We can give him the benefit of doubt until some one can ask if he knows that the license is shown as lapsed and recommend that he cease operation until he clears it up, altho' at the speed of government now-a-days that could be a while! well I said previously that was my two cents worth I guess i'm up to a nickle now!

... I do have strong local QRM at the RAX downlink, but still: I will try to stream live the reception of the upcoming pass first pass over Europe Video: RAX-2 raw packets (using a beam + Kenwood TS2000) Audio: AubieSat-1 (using a simple groundplane / non-directional ant + SDR) http://pa3guo.dlinkddns.com:89/flash.html?src=1&speed=1 Henk, PA3GUO The Netherlands, Europe

RAX-2 Launch In 30 Minutes
by Bryan Herbert 28 Oct '11

28 Oct '11

They're in the final hold, weather is awesome and everything looks good to go for the 0948 UTC launch. Much like RAX-1, RAX-2 will have an Amateur Radio beacon spitting out 500mW of 9600 baud GMSK every 20 seconds from it's right handed circularly polarized antenna... Such a spunky lil bird... Once she reaches orbit and the ground stations are able to track her they will upload the TLE data to their site. http://rax.engin.umich.edu/?page_id=308 -- Bryan Herbert - KE6ZGP Newhall, CA.
