Hi Gopal, For the downlink for es'hail 2 is on 10.5GHz for which DTH PLL STB + DTG dish can be used with an SDR. For the uplink on 2.4 Ghz we do not have the allocation in VU for satellite service. Hence I will be more on the listening mode using DTH STB + SDR. Commercial products are available https://shop.kuhne-electronic.de/kuhne/de/onlineshop/EsHail-2/ 73 Nitin [VU3TYG] On Saturday, 17 November, 2018, 6:14:50 PM IST, Gopal Madhavan <gopal(a)madhavans.org> wrote: Is any information available for up and down converters for using VHF and UHF radios to work the new Geo Stationary satellite?

Hi, My apologies but I need to capture some frames from FC1 so there is a redirect going on for about 30 minutes. Will switch it back later (scores will be amended appropriately) 73 - Dave, G4DPZ

FUNcube Warehouse Testing
by David Johnson 16 Nov '18

16 Nov '18

Hi I am going to do a quick change to the Apache config on data.amsat-uk.org (the Nayif1 server) tomorrow to point it to data2 just to check the load for a couple of hours. I will pump back any data we get into the existing warehouse along with any points accrued. Many thanks for your patience in helping to get JY1Sat and ESEO data right first time. As with FUNcube, UKube and Nayif we will know who uploads the Epoch packet :-) Dave, G4DPZ

JY1SAT Sat Warehouse
by Hasan al-Basri 16 Nov '18

16 Nov '18

I've been decoding and uploading AO-73 data with the Funcube-1 Dashboard. I just downloaded and installed JY1-Sat Dashboard. IAre the Site ID (my call) and the Auth code the same for both upload sites? I should have a pass of EO-88 in about 30 minutes. Is there any indication from the software that my data is being accepted at the site, based on the same ID and Auth as for AO-73 ? TIA, 73, N0AN Hasan

Telemetry hunters: What are your plans for the SSO-A launch next week?
by Douglas Quagliana 16 Nov '18

16 Nov '18

All, If you are interested in satellite telemetry, what are your plans for the SSO-A launch next week? There are a large number of satellites with telemetry downlinks spread over 2m, 70cm, and 2.4GHz and right after launch they will probably all be clustered not-too-far-apart. Getting telemetry from more than one of them seems problematic although I suppose you could get an SDR and record all of 145.8-146 or record all of 435-438 MHz with the intention of post processing the recording for each satellite of interest. Is anyone planning on doing something like this, or is everyone just going to go after one or two satellites? If you do make recordings, particularly if they have multiple downlink signals, I'd like to get a copy. 73, Douglas KA2UPW/5
