If the evening goes well. I plan to be on the 3/02 @ 02:38Z FO-29 Pass.I plan to transmit on 145.940 Fixed. If there is QRM I will move down to 935 or lower.
Should be a lovely pass covering all of Lower 48, Canada and Mexico!
See you on the bird.

If you find errors or omissions. please contact me off-list
at <mycall>@<mycall>.com
and I'll revise the announcement.
This list was developed by comparing the ARRL .pdf
listings for February 1, 2018. and March 1, 2018. It's a visual
comparison so omissions are possible. Apologies if your
call was not mentioned. Thanks to all those who are
roving to grids that are rarely on the birds. They are
doing most of the work!

As I have a K2 and DEM 432-28 transverter, it might not take much
more to get on mode B. My preference is to use Linux OS, but how well
does G Predict work with a K2 and transverter combination? Is anyone
doing it? On the receive side, for duplex, a SDR Play 1A receiver is
what I'd like to use. There again I'm unfamiliar with SDR receiver
control, it wasn't apparent in the rig control library of Gpredict, but
I'm getting the idea that rig control works with the SDR software I use
on the SDR Play not directly with the hardware.
Anyone using this or a similar combination?

Hi,
I received nice schematic of RS1 satellite 29MHz/145MHz converters few
years ago here. But I lost my data on PC and can't find it anymore...
Anyone still have the schematic of nice RS birds. Please if any can send it
to me?
thanks for help
Best tegards

Greetings, all;
I hit a really nice milestone on my first major electronics project, building my owner version of Elwood Downey (WB0OEW)'s Arduino-driven sat tracker for handheld antennas. I started this 1.5 years ago and have had a long learning curve, but it's all paid off as I watched the tracker work on an entire AO-92 pass.
I still have a lot of work to do -- switch it off the tripod mount to a music stand and make the attachment more secure and robust, get the components into a case, fix some of the temporary wiring I put in to make modular build and testing easier -- but the goal is in sight!
Picture is here:

I'll post an update to my blog in another couple of days.

Hello ListI have been having trouble getting going with full doppler tuning with satpc32 and the ts2000 , I have the port and baud set.the most I have got it the radio to do is make a chirp-beep sound and sometimes the incorrect bands will load into the vfo'swhen I click on the birds A,B,C,D etc , but I can not seem to get it to tune the correct frequency's or start to tunethe vfo as the sat flys over... perhaps i need something more in the *.sql data files ??All the signals I have heard so far are very weak , Im guessing I going to need a good preamp and would also like feedbackon ready to install preamps and antenna's you like.please delete the original messages in your reply or go direct off list...jhill_81(a)yahoo.com
