AMSAT, Does AMSAT HQ/Server location sport Egg-Beater antennas or an auto-tracking SAT setup. Has AMSAT considered streaming FM SAT RX over the web when a SAT flies over AMSAT (priority given to AO's) ?
I'm sure it would be interesting to all, assist newbie learning curve, allow verification of tracking program setup, and give first hand training of what that SAT sounds like as well as real-time HAM OPs on that SAT. Web audio streaming would only happens when a SAT is view-able (otherwise teh stream could play an AMSAT voice ad). Just an idea. Best regards, Dale Kubichek, MS-EET, N6JSX 937-726-6677

Makes me think of SATNOGS. You don't get a stream but you can get audio for a lot of passes after the fact, most passes theoretically as they get more stations up.
Example:
https://network.satnogs.org/observations/66/
Another issue with streaming online is there is almost always buffering/delay. So it wouldn't help as much in hearing yourself getting in because it would be so confusing. If you've ever tried to listen to yourself speak over any delayed system (like broadcast). It's very confusing.

I know he DarhVader affect that happens on FM repeaters with audio delay when listening in full duplex. I was not intending for this streaming to be used in that fashion as also my SAT pass and AMSAT SAT pass will be very different due to our locations.
Web streaming would be used as I mentioned in my initial posting. "Assist newbie learning curve, allow verification of tracking program setup, and give first hand training of what that SAT sounds like as well as real-time HAM OPs on that SAT." Secondary could be for AMSAT voice ads during SAT dead times.
Maybe AMSAT-SatPC32 program could be modified to not just control a radio RX frequency but during the pass SatPC (using AOS/LOS Alert functions) would toggle PC audio amplifier to pass the RX mic-input audio to the PC-out speaker/Internet streamer. Nice PR for what SatPC32 can do for new buyers. Best regards, Dale Kubichek, MS-EET, N6JSX

Well we already have a lot of recordings here:

Not sure it's automated for every pass, though.

I guess it would be more exciting to listen to a live stream as a newbie. You could do pass predictions for the remote site yourself and see how they match up with the actual AOS/LOS and such. Perhaps you could even put a camera on the antenna to watch it move around (if you had a tracking setup). That would be pretty cool.
You can get some of this effect with the WebSDRs, but none of them are sat specific AFAIK
