I forget what does Ole-Fehler 8004503A, CLASS ID (A5584957-EF07-419C-BACD-9931F1256D92) mean when I start up Satpc32? 73 Bob W7LRD

by Robert McGwier 13 Jan '18

13 Jan '18

Fox-1D is "somewhere" in the midst of the satellites at the end of the video. Again, this video shows the deserved pride of India in its space group ISRO. https://youtu.be/LKC_cmGHOL0 Bob -- Bob McGwier Founder, Federated Wireless, Inc Founder and Technical Advisor, HawkEye 360, Inc Research Professor Virginia Tech Chief Scientist: The Ted and Karyn Hume Center for National Security and Technology Senior Member IEEE, Facebook: N4HYBob, ARS: N4HY Faculty Advisor Virginia Tech Amateur Radio Assn, Trustee K4KDJ Director of AMSAT Member of PVRC (Roanoke-Blacksburg), TAPR, life member of ARRL and AMSAT, NRVR.ORG (Rocketry)

AO-92 camera test Saturday morning
by Andrew Glasbrenner 13 Jan '18

13 Jan '18

Saturday morning AO-92 passes at 1436 and 1610 UTC will likely test the VT camera. Please be ready to decode and feed high speed data to server with FoxTelem (check your rx bandwidth if using a SDR program to decode, 18kHz or wider), and please stay off the uplink. All submitted data will help our server assemble a complete picture! 73, Drew KO4MA AMSAT VP Operations

Well done Bob! A job well done by all! Rick K7TEJ Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: Robert McGwier Sent: Saturday, January 13, 2018 11:04 To: Andrew Glasbrenner Cc: amsat bb Subject: Re: [amsat-bb] AO-92 camera test Saturday morning The tests have VT celebrating. We have been getting our act together while our groundstation was taking down for maintenance since we were not anticipating the launch. HA HA HA. The sun flares off the antennas are, in a word, awesome, but the gorgeous views of earth are better than I had personally hoped for. Thanks to our team the seemingly endless set of tweaks and knobs on this camera aided ably by Jerry N0JY and the entire testing team, the settings seem great. I look forward to many more of these awesome pictures and our continued relationship between VT and AMSAT. 73s Bob N4HY On Fri, Jan 12, 2018 at 11:13 PM, Andrew Glasbrenner < glasbrenner(a)mindspring.com> wrote: > Saturday morning AO-92 passes at 1436 and 1610 UTC will likely test the VT > camera.

Fox-1D recorded pass at 2017-01-13 16:33 UTC
by Milen Bourilkov 13 Jan '18

13 Jan '18

Hi all, This is my first message to this group since I'm new to satellites and have only a few QSOs under my belt. Still I managed to record and decode two passes of Fox-1D so far. I thought that it might be interesting for those of you that missed today's High Speed Data pass to have a recording of it, so I went outside and recorded the 16:33 UTC pass using my SDRPlay RSP1A and an Arrow II antenna. The video below is some of that IQ recording being played using SDRUno and then the audio being played to Foxtelem using a vistual audio cable. I have the full pass IQ recorded but kept the video at 5min. Link: https://youtu.be/ob0BkiZQgFw Please excuse the fading of the signal at times. I was hand holding and aiming the antenna and I am new to this + it was quite windy. Best wishes, Milen Bourilkov KG2C

Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I don't see AO-92 in FoxTelem, and can't seem to find a way to add it.... George, KA3HSW

[Blog] AMSAT-BB versus every Linux mailing list
by John Brier 13 Jan '18

https://spacecomms.wordpress.com/2018/01/12/amsat-bb-versus-every-linux-mai… "On AMSAT-BB, people ask for someone to call them on the phone and walk them through things. And people actually do it. On Linux and other open source mailing lists, when people ask basic questions they’re told to “read the f*cking manual, noob.” 73, John Brier KG4AKV
