LO-78 (LituanicaSAT-1) Field Day Availability
by Paul Stoetzer 28 Jun '14

28 Jun '14

Earlier today, I asked on the LituanicaSAT-1 Facebook group whether or not the satellite's FM transponder could be turned on this weekend for the US/Canada Field Day and this was the reply: "Paul, we'll the situation tomorrow our time and let you know. Need to check telemetry after this night. Because we had some issues with our ground station which are solved now." Hopefully the battery level allows them to turn it on to give us an extra satellite on Field Day. 73, Paul, N8HM

FUncube Data Warehouse
by David A B Johnson 27 Jun '14

27 Jun '14

Hi, There may be some some short-live outages while we prepare for supporting UKube-1 / FUNcube 2. We will try do these while the satellite is over Antartica / Pacific (allowing for Hawaii of course) but they also have to fit in with day-job schedules too so we may disrupt a pass somewhere in the world. As always, many thanks for your support of the FUNcube project. 73 Dave, G4DPZ FUNcube Team Member

W1AW/9 - IL (update)
by Grant Zehr 27 Jun '14

27 Jun '14

W1AW/9 operations are going well from EN50 in Central Illinois. There is another pass from FO-29 tonight, and I will also try to listen for SO-50 later. Tomorrow(Friday) there will be no W1AW/9 activity during the morning passes, but W1AW/9 should be on some of the afternoon/evening passes. I'm happy to log duplicate calls on different satellites or the same satellite. FYI - With Field Day coming up, some stations are operating portable. Stations signing simply 'portable' will be logged as K9XYZ/P and stations signing 'portable 8' will be logged as K9XYZ/8. If you submit your log to LOTW or request a QSL from ARRL it will need to match. Email me if you need to confirm how your portable QSO was logged. 73, W1AW/9 - IL (Grant - AA9LC)
