Hitsat poor cw modulation?
by Andythomas 29 Sep '06

29 Sep '06

Hitsat heard at 17:58:20 utc doppler high on 437.2820, (using object c keps) but the cw signal is degraded compared to six days ago, Now it is much more of a "Rasp" than the "tone" it was. I have sent a file containing both examples to the command team. andy. G0SFJ

ARISS Contacts During JOTA
by Erik Jacobsen 29 Sep '06

29 Sep '06

Is there anyway that ARISS can be availble for general astronaut contacts on 10/21-10/22 for JOTA? I am going to be operating W9W that weekend with my troop. Based upon the latest Keplian Elements, these times seem to be favorable for all of the United States on 10/21-10/22: 10/21: 0522Z to 0542Z 0658Z to 0718Z 2325Z to 2341Z 10/22: 0059Z-0118z 0234Z to 0254Z 0544z to 0606z This is the prediction for Chicago IL: 2006-10-21 00:29:42 ISS 307.7 0.0 ecl 2164 357.4 -58.8 2006-10-21 00:34:36 ISS 29.5 43.6 ecl 475 359.7 -58.8 2006-10-21 00:39:29 ISS 112.0 0.0 ecl 2153 2.0 -58.8 2006-10-21 02:04:57 ISS 291.8 0.0 ecl 2160 38.7 -53.1 2006-10-21 02:09:26 ISS 226.3 16.8 ecl 945 40.3 -52.6 2006-10-21 02:13:54 ISS 160.5 0.0 ecl 2148 41.9 -52.0 2006-10-21 16:56:29 ISS 173.1 0.0 2.5 2172 245.1 10.4 2006-10-21 17:00:00 ISS 127.6 5.9 1.5 1563 245.7 9.8 2006-10-21 17:03:31 ISS 82.3 0.0 2.0 2177 246.4 9.2 2006-10-21 18:29:31 ISS 228.5 0.0 2.4 2173 260.9 -6.2 2006-10-21 18:34:29 ISS 142.2 67.7 -1.8 366 261.7 -7.2 2006-10-21 18:39:26 ISS 57.1 0.0 ecl 2169 262.5 -8.1 2006-10-21 20:05:07 ISS 271.0 0.0 2.1 2174 276.9 -24.0 2006-10-21 20:09:46 ISS 340.3 19.3 ecl 874 277.7 -24.9 2006-10-21 20:14:25 ISS 50.2 0.0 ecl 2167 278.6 -25.7 2006-10-21 21:41:21 ISS 300.4 0.0 ecl 2175 296.4 -41.1 2006-10-21 21:45:39 ISS 0.6 11.7 ecl 1180 297.4 -41.9 2006-10-21 21:49:55 ISS 60.6 0.0 ecl 2162 298.4 -42.6 2006-10-21 23:16:50 ISS 309.8 0.0 ecl 2167 325.4 -54.7 2006-10-21 23:21:30 ISS 20.3 20.3 ecl 838 327.2 -55.2 2006-10-21 23:26:09 ISS 91.0 0.0 ecl 2157 329.0 -55.6 2006-10-22 00:51:50 ISS 302.0 0.0 ecl 2162 8.0 -58.9 2006-10-22 00:56:45 ISS 218.2 57.8 ecl 392 10.3 -58.8 2006-10-22 01:01:38 ISS 134.2 0.0 ecl 2147 12.6 -58.6 2006-10-22 02:27:57 ISS 274.5 0.0 ecl 2157 46.9 -50.5 2006-10-22 02:31:10 ISS 233.3 4.7 ecl 1647 47.9 -50.1 2006-10-22 02:34:23 ISS 191.8 0.0 ecl 2146 48.9 -49.6 2006-10-22 17:17:08 ISS 202.9 0.0 2.6 2176 248.6 6.6 2006-10-22 17:21:45 ISS 134.7 19.5 0.3 873 249.4 5.8 2006-10-22 17:26:22 ISS 66.6 0.0 2.0 2178 250.2 5.0 2006-10-22 18:51:43 ISS 250.3 0.0 2.3 2176 264.3 -10.6 2006-10-22 18:56:38 ISS 331.1 39.4 -1.1 518 265.1 -11.5 2006-10-22 19:01:32 ISS 51.9 0.0 ecl 2168 265.9 -12.4 2006-10-22 20:27:51 ISS 287.5 0.0 2.0 2178 280.7 -28.4 2006-10-22 20:32:16 ISS 350.2 13.4 ecl 1102 281.6 -29.2 2006-10-22 20:36:39 ISS 52.7 0.0 ecl 2166 282.4 -30.0 2006-10-22 22:03:48 ISS 307.5 0.0 ecl 2174 301.7 -45.1 2006-10-22 22:08:13 ISS 10.4 13.5 ecl 1091 302.9 -45.8 2006-10-22 22:12:36 ISS 73.2 0.0 ecl 2161 304.1 -46.5 2006-10-22 23:38:55 ISS 307.8 0.0 ecl 2169 334.1 -57.1 2006-10-22 23:43:50 ISS 29.9 41.4 ecl 493 336.2 -57.5 2006-10-22 23:48:41 ISS 110.9 0.0 ecl 2148 338.4 -57.8 2006-10-23 01:14:09 ISS 292.5 0.0 ecl 2161 18.6 -58.3 2006-10-23 01:18:40 ISS 226.1 17.8 ecl 910 20.6 -58.0 2006-10-23 01:23:10 ISS 159.1 0.0 ecl 2144 22.6 -57.7 Thanks Erik Jacobsen, KB9BNY Varsity Scout Team Couch

HITSAT copied in EL88pg
by Andrew Glasbrenner 29 Sep '06

29 Sep '06

Congratulations to the HITSAT team! I copied the CW beacon from 22:42 at ~437.280, 22:44 at 274.3 (just after time of closest approach), and 22:45:45 at 268.2. I was busy pointing and tuning, so didn't get any of the telemetry, and Mixw didn't either. There is a bit of a gap between transmissions which makes tuning and pointing by hand a bit tough, especially with no keps ;-) The signal was quite strong at times, up to s9 or so on a M2 30cp and Landwehr preamp. Looking forward to 1200 baud data from this satellite hopefully. 73, Drew KO4MA EL88pg New Port Richey, FL AMSAT LM 2332
