Lituanicasat-1 was on for the 1755utc pass over Ohio today. N1PCE was the only station heard and worked. It's at 310km now so it won't be up for much longer. Work it while you can.
The next pass starts for EN91 at 1928utc and goes through the middle of the US. The footprint is not very big but if you are in it, you'll be able to work it. It fades as it spins but the rate is fairly fast so you can easily make qso's on it.
Make sure you have the latest keps as they are changing rapidly as the bird slows down.

Question: In Satpc32, I have LO-78 showing as a selection but there are no frequencies showing in the CAT window.
I did the 'update keps' function but no freqs showing. Is there some other file that needs to be updated?
Any help appreciated

You need to enter the up- and downlink frequencies and mode into the Doppler.SQF file, which you can edit by clicking the "?" on the menu bar, and then "Auxiliary Files". Note that the satellite name in the doppler file must exactly match the satellite name in the keps. You must also enter the subtone info into the SubTone.SQF file. Again, the satellite name must match. (You can just copy the data from the first entry for SO-50).

Hi Ted, Add the following line to Doppler.SQF somewhere in the data section (use paste and copy): LO-78,435175.5,145950,FM,FM,NOR,0,0
I don't know whether the frequencies are exact. To check that (while the sat is in range) click the SatPC32 control "V" to "V+", then open menu "CAT" and with the "Downl. Corr." controls correct the downlink frequency and save the found value in Doppler.SQF.
You may also add the following line to AmsatNames.SQF: 39569 98067EN LO-78
Then the program will display LITUANICASAT-1 as LO-78 if you use a Keps file that still uses LITUANICASAT-1 as satellite name, for example the Celestrak file cubesat.txt.
Both files can be opened and edited from the SatPC32 menu "?", "Auxiliary Fies". For detailed instructions read the FAQs file (sect. 1a) with a tutorial by Wayne Estes, W9AE.
