LOTW Satellites from the Old Days
One of my winter projects is to get all of my OSCAR contacts back to 1989 in LOTW. Unfortunately, my older logs are not available.
What are folks doing about contacts made on RS-10/11? My log book says RS-10/11 and LOTW wants either RS-10 or RS-11 and I really don't have a way to tell which? The same conundrum applies to RS-12/13, but it appears I logged most of them as RS-13 for some reason.
Thanks and 73,

Hi Joe,
For RS-10/11, I'd recommend just using RS-10. I don't recall ever hearing the "11" side of that bird on during the several years that I worked it.
They did a lot of switching around of RS-12 and 13, especially towards the end of its life, so that one will be harder to select.

Hi Joe,
Beginning from OSCAR-6 up to AO40 I have all my QSO recorded on a professional tape recorder REVOX A77 using 1/4" tape winded in many and many big coils each 10.63 " in diameter and so I can enjoy to hear time to time the voice of my old satellite friends and as well the CW ROBOT of the RS satellites.Before to start any QSO I mention on tape the name of the satellite the orbit numbar and the date, just for record along with the log on paper.

Dear Amsat-friends,
I would like to draw your attention to a collection of audio recordings which might me of interest to you too:
The "Sounds from Space" collection on www.dd1us.de is a collection which has also a section dedicated to recordings of amateur radio satellite signals.
Please have a look at it. The idea is to give older radio amateurs the chance, to listen to signals of satellites which are already gone and the might have worked in the past, and to younger people interested in ham radio, to get them more excited in satellite communication.
In spite of the fact that the collection now gets close to 1000 recordings I am still missing recordings from some amateur radio satellites. If anyone of you would be willing to contribute recordings to these satellite I highly appreciate it. I have and will always give full credit to the source of the recordings. Please have a look in your older tapes and recordings !
Here is a list of the most wanted missing satellites:
Amsat Oscar 8 RS-1 RS-2 ISKRA-1 RS-3 RS-4 RS-5 RS-6 RS-8 ISKRA-3 Fuji-OSCAR-12 UOSAT OSCAR 15 WEBER OSCAR 18 UOSAT OSCAR 22 POSAT OSCAR 28 TMSAT OSCAR 31 PANSAT OSCAR 34 UOSAT OSCAR 36 ASUSAT OSCAR 37 WEBER OSCAR 39 SAUDI OSCAR 42 STARSHINE OSCAR 43 MYSAT OSCAR 46 KAGAYAKI (SORUNSAT-1) ANUSAT BEVO-1 WASEDA-SAT2 StudSAT
In case you have no own recordings but know someone, who might have, please pass this request to him.
Many thanks for your help.

Domenico,
The recordings sound neat.
I would have not known at the time of the QSO if I were talking on RS-10 or RS-11. As you know they were multiple satellites, but physically connected together as one orbiting object, they may have even had only one power bus.

Hi Joe,
I believe the two sides of both of the satellites had different, fixed, frequency settings. So, you can tell which side it was by what frequencies you were using.

If I remember right they where connected to a host satelite and used that satelites powerbus, same for RS12/13.

Hi Andre,PE1RDW
RS10/12 was connected and supplied by COSMOS 1816 while RS12/13 was connected and supplied by COSMOS 2123
