Very confused
by Hasan al-Basri 16 Nov '18

What sfotware is used to decode and upload Nayif-1 satellite telemetry? It appears to be a funcube, i"ve seen its tlm but, of course, Foxcube-1 Dashboard does not decode it. Further, if there is separate software, does it use the same Site ID and Auth Code? Sorry for the confusion, because I certainly am! 73, N0AN Hasan

South Texas Grid Rove
by Glenn Miller - AA5PK 16 Nov '18

16 Nov '18

My rove to the south Texas grids was a success. San Angelo to Corpus Christi (EL17) to Brownsville (EL15) to Laredo (EL07) to San Antonio (EL09) and back home to San Angelo. Total of 1309 miles. The weather was cold (record cold for south Texas), drizzly and windy in EL17 and just cold and windy in EL15, but the weather improved by the time we got to EL07. I activated grids EL06, 07, 08, 09, 15, 16, 17 and 18 logging 138 QSOs. All QSOs have been uploaded to LoTW. I had a few brief recording dropouts on two of the passes, but I think I got everyone. If you don't see a match in LoTW, email me with the details and I will check the recording. Anyone desiring a hard copy QSL card can email me and I'll send out one of my rover cards. No need for an SASE. 73 Glenn AA5PK

JY1Sat Updated Keps
by David Johnson 16 Nov '18

Hi, We believe that we have a better handle on the initial Keps for JY1Sat. Here is the TLE and the prediction for the middle of the UK. Please be aware of course that this is still subject to the usual caveats that we might still be out by a minute or so depending on how we exit during the deployment. Catalogue Number is a place holder. 73 - Dave, G4DPZ on behalf of the FUNcube Team JY1-Sat 1 50001U 18001A 18323.01450000 .00000000 00000-0 30100-5 0 9992 2 50001 97.7750 30.5000 0012840 225.0000 124.7930 15.00300000 11 MacDoppler Predictions: JY1-Sat Kep Set: 999 Times: UTC Location: Halesowen United Kingdom Latitude: 52.4670 Degrees Longitude: -2.0220 Degrees Elevation: 200.0 Meters Run on: 2018/11/16 07:16:22 GMT Date Time Azimuth Elevation Downlink Uplink ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Rise: 2018/11/19 19:47:09 106.0 0.0 435.86001 145.94732 Max: 2018/11/19 19:52:06 53.1 11.7 435.85191 145.95003 Set: 2018/11/19 19:57:03 0.8 0.0 435.84394 145.95270 Rise: 2018/11/19 21:20:11 158.2 0.1 435.86216 145.94660 Max: 2018/11/19 21:26:24 70.9 72.0 435.85186 145.95005 Set: 2018/11/19 21:32:42 347.8 0.0 435.84184 145.95340 Rise: 2018/11/19 22:56:34 212.4 0.0 435.86035 145.94720 Max: 2018/11/19 23:01:55 272.1 14.9 435.85191 145.95003 Set: 2018/11/19 23:07:20 331.6 0.0 435.84365 145.95280

JY1SAT
by Graham Shirville 16 Nov '18

16 Nov '18

Hi All, We are pleased to announce that, in advance of Monday night's launch, we have just finished the work on a new Dashboard UI for the JY1SAT mission. This is based on previous FUNcube missions but has "added features". Thanks are due to the AMSAT-UK team who have been working very hard to get everything ready. Please see this page for more details: https://funcube.org.uk/2018/11/15/jy1sat/ We will, of course, really appreciate all reports and telemetry uploads to the Data Warehouse 73 Graham G3VZV
