IO-26 as digital EMAIL relay?
by Robert Bruninga 09 Sep '12

09 Sep '12

> IO-26 is still up there, and still humming; > But we haven't figured out how to run it in > voice like we did with AO-16; Woha! But if it is a pacsat, can't it act as a digipeater if you just set the DIGI bit to on? Then people can use it for real-time digital QSO's. In the old days, it required everyone to get a $300 modem and use an SSB rig on the downlink. But the Uplink is FM. SO anyone can transmit. And these days, somone I am sure has already written the sound-card generate the manchester uplink! Then the satgates with the SSB receivers could capture all the downlink traffic. Or am I forgetting something? (I know, I'm an APRS hammer and everything kinda looks like an APRS nail...) But you dont have to call it APRS, just call it an emergency or EMAIL link providing worldwide coverage for ham travelers needing a way to get a message out... The global internet linked ground station and Email engine already exists, Just send the email. If an IGate hears it anywhere on the planet, then the Email is as good as delivered. Bob, WB4APR

Alan, The last set of keps show AO-40 at 26,612 km above the earth and about 28,880 km from my location. Elevation was 36 degrees. I used NOVA to backtrack the position of the satellite. Thanks a bunch Alan. I can send you the telemetry audio file if you'd like? It's only 1MB. Tony -K2MO

NOVA Software
by James Luhn 08 Sep '12

08 Sep '12

I have been tinkering with NOVA Software. I simply cannot figure out how to add additional satellites like SO50. I have pointed the update to various sites that I thought should work but I have not succeeded in getting so50 and some other amateur satellites to show up. Any advice would be appreciated. I am sure I am making a simple mistake somehow, someway. I guess that is what I deserve for tinkering. 73, -james W5AOO
