Tks Omar. I don't know for sure if SO-67 is active, but it's scheduled to turn on at 08/1435Z. But I was on SO-67's freq for the previous pass that started at 1310Z, and heard a full quieting ragchew between two N4 ops that continued well past the LOS. I'm assuming that the 435.345 downlink is also the output of a 70cm repeater located close enough to wipe out the satellite for me locally. I'll check it out anyway just to be safe. 73, Jim, ND9M / VQ9JC ________________________________ From: Omar Alvarez [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, April 08, 2011 2:08 PM To: Clary, James T, Civilian Subject: Re: ND9M/MM Sat Ops: FM01 - Late (Very) Notice I am not sur, but SO-67 will be at 14:42 Z, is it active?

ND9M/MM Sat Ops: FM01 - Late (Very) Notice

I'll be QRV on VO52 at 08/1352Z from FM01. I doubt we'll be in this grid long enough for any other passes though. 73, Jim, ND9M / VQ9JC

Fwd: Re: 99th Anniversary of Titanic Disaster Special Event ThisWeekend
by Larry Catron 08 Apr '11

I read it as CW will be running split only if there is a need run split, not that CW would only be used if needed. But either way, what is the big deal since this is a hobby for all to enjoy?

Yaesu FT-736R interface for HRD
by zdz eighty 08 Apr '11

08 Apr '11

Yaesu FT-736R interface for HRD I finally finished a project to build an interface for the Yaesu FT736R so that it would work with Ham Radio Deluxe. It seems to be working well and i've sent it out to several testers and i haven't found any problems from the the interface. I had a pcb made and its available from batchpcb.com. It uses a PIC 18f14k50 microcontroller with a usb interface. The board has 3 pads on it which you wire to a 6 pin Din plug. All the code is open sourced via the GPL. You can see all the information for it at KA6BRB's website: http://home.comcast.net/~tinkyr/736/N6BIL%20Hardware%20Emulator.htm thanks, chuck n6bil

ARISSat-1 Activation 04/12
by Clint Bradford 07 Apr '11

07 Apr '11

>From AMSAT-NA - The transmissions will begin on Monday 11 April 2011 at 14:30 UTC and continue until 10:30 UTC on 13 April 2011. Due to the fact that the solar panels are covered, the satellite will be powered only by the onboard battery. The satellite will run in low power mode. This means that the transmissions will cycle ON/OFF. They will be ON for 40-60 seconds and OFF for 2 minutes. 145.950 MHz FM Downlink: FM transmissions will cycle between a voice ID, select telemetry values, 24 international greeting messages in 15 languages and SSTV images. One of the messages will be a conversation between Yuri Gagarin and ground control. 145.919 MHz CW Beacon The CW transmissions will be callsign ID, select telemetry, and callsigns of people actively involved with the ARISS program. 145.920 MHz SSB BPSK-1000 Telemetry The BPSK transmissions will feature a new 1kBPSK protocol developed by Phil Karn, KA9Q to be readable in low signal level conditions. The BPSK data will transmit satellite telemetry. Free ground station soundcard demodulator and display software will be available. Note that the linear transponder will not be active during this event. /end/
