ARISSAat-1/RADIOSCAT-B SSTV Picture
by Farrell Winder 10 Sep '11

10 Sep '11

On Friday morning Sept 09, 2011 at 14:22 Z, Cincinnati, Ohio I copied a picture from ARISSat-1/RADIOSCAF-B that appears to have a very unusual pattern over the area of the Earth. It may be breaks in cloud cover but appears over a very large area of the Earth and has a somewhat repeated type of pattern. Did anyone else copy and what would be the interpretation? I will try to submit a copy on the ARISS SSTV Gallery. Farrell Winder, W8ZCF, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA

Re: AO-27 Site Down

Hi Clint, K6LCS I am very concerned about AO-27 site has been down for about 2 weeks. This problem happens when there is only one control station able to manage a satellite. In my opinion AMRAD should create another control operator just in case like this. 73" de i8CVS Domenico > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Clint Bradford" <clintbradford(a)me.com> > To: "George Henry" <ka3hsw(a)att.net> > Cc: "AMSAT BB" <amsat-bb(a)amsat.org> > Sent: Thursday, September 08, 2011 11:15 PM > Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: AO-27 Site Down > > > > Chuck Wyrick is on vacation ...

DL7VTX/EA8 on AO-51
by John Papay 09 Sep '11

09 Sep '11

Jens, DL7VTX, is apparently operating portable in EA8. He was worked on AO-51 this afternoon. His signal wasn't very strong into the bird but he was hearing. Jens has operated from the Caribbean in the past, usually with an HT and a whip antenna. He likes to hike and takes the radio with him. No info on how long he might be there, but if you are on the East Coast and need EA8, listen for him. 73, John K8YSE

AO-27 Site Down
by Clint Bradford 09 Sep '11

09 Sep '11

I was trying to confirm whether or not AO-27 was going to be ON for the 2141UTC pass on Saturday September 10 here in Southern California. But the AO27.org site has been unavailable. The AO-27 Java app shows OFF at 2037 UTS and not back ON until 2210 UTC ... Has the Java app been reliable in its predictions three days out? Clint Bradford, K6LCS 909-241-7666

Re: KD8KSN/M Ops 9/8

I forgot to mention that all QSOs will be in LoTW later this week under KD8KSN. I know I am forgetting something else, but I can’t think of it right now. Still trying to get back in the swing of things. ;-) Zack KD8KSN From: Zachary Beougher Sent: Friday, September 09, 2011 8:09 AM To: amsat-bb(a)amsat.org Subject: KD8KSN/M Ops 9/8 Hi All, For those of you who worked me while mobile in EN83 yesterday, I will be sending out cards Monday and no sase/request is needed. I was hoping to get on a few other passes from EN75/74/81, but my RX antenna was sandwiched between two canoes which was impeding my receive ability. I will be back through these same grids in December, and I am hoping to be a bit more successful then. 73! Zack KD8KSN

Images of Prospero Ground segment
by John Heath 09 Sep '11

09 Sep '11

Hi, not sure if the -bb supports attachments but will give it a try. I have images of the control station complete with 1970's computers, and the receiving station. Nice picture of the antenna array which appears to be four crossed yagi's in a square, each one has 8 pairs of elements. 73 John G7HIA
