SatPC32 & a long list of Sats to track
by Bob KD7YZ 08 Oct '15

08 Oct '15

Well I was just sitting here and trying to figure out a convenient way to be alerted when any of thee satellites I watch/work is in range. The trouble is that I've already got [A] to [L] filled and still have Fox1 and several other recent birds to follow. So what's a way I can have SatPC32 tell me when _ANY_ of those I track is available _AND_ Auto-Move to tracking it? thanks -- 73, Bob KD7YZ www.qrz.com/db/kd7yz AmSat LM#901

Fox-1A
by Tom Karickhoff 08 Oct '15

Good morning everyone! I am already going through info for today's launch and came up with a couple of questions... What is the order of exit from the P-POD for Fox-1a, BisonSat, and ARC1? Is there any information available regarding the order in which the individual P-PODs will be opened? Specifically, what number in line is Fox-1A?

Working RS0ISS-1?
by Thomas Karpiniec 08 Oct '15

08 Oct '15

Hi all, I'm just getting started with sats and tried to connect to the mailbox on the ISS this morning. I must have done the wrong thing because it didn't go how I expected. I tried to make an ordinary connection to RS0ISS-1 from VK7NTK-1 and RS0ISS-0 responded (I think to me?) with: RS0ISS>CQ:Logged on to RS0ISS's Personal Message System<0x0d> RS0ISS>CQ:on board the International Space Station<0x0d> This suggests to me that even the mailbox is using some sort of unproto system. I haven't seen any information anywhere about interacting with the mailbox that way. Would anyone be able to send me a link to up-to-date instructions, or explain what format it's expecting me to send, to which SSID? Many thanks, Tom VK7NTK

Re: [amsat-bb] Basic TV-type AZ-only rotator for Orbitron?
by Bob Freeman 08 Oct '15

Hello, Well, my CNCTRK is not based on Orbitron but does work with 12 VDC. I'm still looking at a short run of units during the current quarter. See the site below for current information. And, yes, a sturdy tripod workd best. http://ki4sbl.dodropin.org/CNCTRK/CNCTRK_system_home.html Regards, Bob Freeman KI4SBL

Working Fox-1A
by Clint Bradford 07 Oct '15

Good news - looks like Fox-1A will be launched tomorrow. Bad news - Don't try to work it immediately. (grin) Wait for word from AMSAT engineers when it is ready for us to work it. Keplerian data will be forthcoming, too, from AMSAT-NA. But the bird needs to be "set up" - and even if you think you hear something from it in the next few days, please do NOT try to access it until we are told we can - you may interrupt a control operator's access to the satellite.
