DM02 Satellite Expedition Sunday Sept 22 - N6O/mm
by Ron Bondy 06 Sep '19

06 Sep '19

Alex N7AGF and Ron AD0DX are planning to activate DM02 on Sunday Sept 22, 2019 on FM and Linear satellites. It's a 5 or 6 hour boat trip to anchor off San Clemente Island. We will be on the water for 22 hours and operating around 10 hoursbeginning around 3AM Pacific (1000z) Sunday sept 22nd. The cost of the boat is $2500 and we would appreciate contributions to help offset this cost. In the 24 hours after posting to Twitter we have received around $1300 which Alex and I are very thankful for. The island has Verizon and AT&T and Alex has a Garmin InReach so we should be able to tweet passes. The plan is to make as many passes as possible once we start operating around 3am PAC. We may skip some of the low western passes. We will be using N6O/mm and we have a qrz.com page with all the details: N6O Callsign Page | | | | | | | | | | | N6O Callsign Page N6O personal biography | | | If you need the grid please give us a call! Of course this is dependent on the weather, but the captain says it has been a good Sept so far. If you are able to contribute financially we really appreciate the help to offset some of our costs. Details to contribute are on the N6O qrz.com webpage. Thanks and 73, Ron AD0DX (and Alex N7AGF)

BugSat-1 (Tita) and its digipeater
by Hans BX2ABT 06 Sep '19

06 Sep '19

I was successful in decoding some telemetry frames from BugSat-1 (Tita) today. I've googled this bird, but not much information apart from the lauch in 2014. There was mention about a digipeater on board, but no mention if it was ever turned on or if it malfunctioned. Does anybody remember anything about this sat and its aftermath after launch? 73 de Hans BX2ABT
