by i8cvs 26 Jun '11

26 Jun '11

Hi All, in Europe On day 28 june 2011 I will be operating VO-52 portable from the depth of the cone of volcano Vesuvio in grid square JN70GT a "hole"never worked before ! The depth of the cone is about 300 meters so that the window for me will be very short as follows: AOS at 07:51 UTC with elevation of 49° TCA with maximum elevation of 80° at 07:52 UTC LOS at 07:54 UTC with elevation of 39° I will operate SSB in the middle of the downlink at 145.900 MHz using 30 watt from my TS 790E and a IOio antenna. The power supply will be provided by a small 650 watt 220 volt 50 Hz gasoline electric generator. The team will be made by five radio Hams. Dont' loose this unique opportunity to work a "deep hole JN70GT" never worked before ! 73" de i8CVS Domenico

Be sure to read this week's ANS bulletin #177. In particular, the article on submitting your field day results. Please do not wait until the last minute. Every year someone does and they are left out of the years tallies. I have already received the first field day submission. It is not to early to submit your results.

ND9M/MM FM01
by John Papay 26 Jun '11

26 Jun '11

Jim ND9M/MM reports that his emails from the ship have not been going out. He is underway now and expects to be in FM01 after 2200z 26June. This means that he will likely not be in FM01 for the first AO-7 pass at 2129 nor the AO-51 pass that follow at 2145z. The next AO-7 pass at 2322 will likely be the one to work him on. Jim also reports that he is on 144.23 for terrestrial contacts. 73, John K8YSE

ARISSatTLM V0.50 install problem
by Masahiro Arai 26 Jun '11

26 Jun '11

Douglas, Thank you for development of ARISSatTLM program. I found install problem. ARISSatTLM V0.50 seems to need C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Desktop folder for Windows XP. This is the problem. Japanse Windows XP has no "Dsektop" folder! Yes, there is desktop folder on Japanse Windows XP, but the name is different. It's in Japanse! I made "Desktop" folder before install ARISSatTLM V0.50 then ARISSatTLM works fine. I'm not sure on the Windows 7 or another language Windows. It may difficult to make "Desktop" folder for those unfamiliar with computeres. Would you solve this problem? Change the folder, make "Desktop" folder if no existence, or another way... I would like to have sample BPSK1000 WAV files. It looks no file on https://svn.sarpeidon.net/viewvc/suitsat2/ground_station_software/ ARISSatTLM/install-staging/Sample_ARISSat_Recording1.WAV where is announced at Feb. Could you tell me the new place? Thank you for your help Masa JN1GKZ Tokyo Japan
