Lilacsat 2 Heard Over DO33?
by B J 08 Oct '15

08 Oct '15

I tried the pass that started here just before 1500 UTC. I think I heard the downlink, though it was barely audible. The pass had a maximum elevation of nearly 25 degrees and there weren't any obstructions for most of it, so there shouldn't have been anything blocking the signal during that time. 73s Bernhard VA6BMJ @ DO33FL

AMSAT Symposium / VUCC/WAS card checking
by Bruce 08 Oct '15

08 Oct '15

If you have any cards you would like checked for VUCC/WAS, I will be at the Symposium. I will give preference to satellite contacts first before I check other bands/modes. If you are going to have cards checked, I prefer the list be in Grid Square order using an Excel spreadsheet or Word doc with the second column being the call sign worked. Place all your cards in the same grid square order as the list with any cards that contain multiple grids at the end of the stack. If you have lists (from Yuri, etc), I can go through them as well. 73...bruce -- Bruce Paige, KK5DO AMSAT Director Contests and Awards AMSAT Board Alternate 2015-2016 ARRL Awards Field Checker (WAS, 5BWAS, VUCC), VE Houston AMSAT Net - Wed 0100z on Echolink - Conference *AMSAT* Also live streaming MP3 at http://www.amsatnet.com Podcast at http://www.amsatnet.com/podcast.xml or iTunes Latest satellite news on the ARRL Audio News http://www.arrl.org AMSAT on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/amsat

Re: [amsat-bb] SatPC32 & a long list of Sats to track

More pointedly, there are a couple of sats that, even though I am not here, I want the system to track and the respective program to log the data es forward it to the group keeping track if their own data. Otherwise, at home, I "try" to remember to be back at the table for this or that sat. Otherwise I hear the SatPC32 Brauhaus Lassie tell me this or that Sat is up. But now I have so many that I want to hear or track that SatPC32 can't quite cope with it Hi Hi . -- 73, Bob KD7YZ www.qrz.com/db/kd7yz AmSat LM#901
