The first week of April, AO-51 exits full illumination and our power
budget will
shrink considerably. The length of the eclipses will increase throughout the
month, and we'll have to closely monitor our power situation. The schedule
reflects this, as the BBS will be active throughout the first two weeks of the
month. Additionally all AO-51 transmitters will be shut off on March 31st for a
special Whole Orbit Data collection before full illumination ends.
As the month progresses we will schedule some time with the L/U BBS switched to
a L/U repeater on an "as available" basis. Watch the webpage and ANS for
announcements with further details.

Robert Davies, KI4HXT, has produced a Windows media video showing how to work
AO-27. Dave Jordan, AA4KN does the actual satellite demonstration during the
2008 Orlando Hamcation. Dave describes the Doppler shift that will
occur during
the pass, makes a number of contacts during the pass, then talks about setting
up the Kenwood TH-D7A hand held for analog satellite operation. Drew
Glasbrenner, KO4MA was doing a simultaneous demonstration and has a cameo
appearance describing the arc of the upcoming pass. This is about a 20 minute
video.
Bob McGwier, N4HY also has a video recorded in February that talks about the
AMSAT Engineering activities during the next few months. Good information about
a number of activities that are taking place this year. This is a 10 minute
video.
Videos can be found at http://www.ki4hxt.com/id5.html
Thanks to Robert for hosting these.
We are working on additional videos, stay tuned.

KiwiSAT Update
AMSAT News Service Bulletin 090.05
From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.
March 30, 2008
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-090.05
KiwiSAT will now carry an additional special beacon which, it is planned, will
be used by radio amateurs around the world to collect data on atmospheric
aberrations to assist with finite information collection directly associated
with Global Warming concerns and Carbon Balance monitoring.
Details have yet to be finalized however the KiwiSAT structure has
been modified
to incorporate a second 70cm monopole mounted on the Z- face.
A high level of filtering has been incorporated to minimize any
desensitizing of
the on-board 70 cm receivers.
The operation of the beacon will be switched as required but will
normally be ON
for whole orbit data collection.
The KiwiSAT linear flight transponder is currently transmitting from the
Whangaparaoa area with beam antennas pointing South.
Transponder is inverting type to compensate for Doppler shift when in orbit.
* Transmit Power is 2 Watts PEP.
* Beacon frequency is 145.885 MHz
* Uplink is from 435.265 to 435.235 MHZ LSB (note the sideband)
* Down link is from 145.850 to 145.880 MHz USB
A test transmission on 435.2544 LSB came out at 145.860 USB.
As it's a linear transponder 30kHz wide, any mode can be used, but FM is
discouraged (but not banned). Amateur stations are encouraged to try out the
transponder. Try to better the previous distance of record of 292 km
previously
achieved with the prototype transponder (same location/antenna).

(not up and running currently)
To switch the transmitter on, you need to send a CTCSS tone of 74.4 Hz.
The order of operation is thus: (allow for Doppler as necessary):
1) Transmit on 145.850 MHz with a tone of 74.4 Hz to arm the 10 minute
timer
on board the spacecraft.
2) Now transmit on 145.850 MHz (FM Voice) using 67.0 Hz to PT the
repeater on
and off within the 10 Minute window.
3) Sending the 74.4 tone again within the 10 minute window will reset
the 10
minute timer.

(not up and running currently)
To switch the transmitter on, you need to send a CTCSS tone of 74.4 Hz.
The order of operation is thus: (allow for Doppler as necessary):
1) Transmit on 145.850 MHz with a tone of 74.4 Hz to arm the 10 minute
timer
on board the spacecraft.
2) Now transmit on 145.850 MHz (FM Voice) using 67.0 Hz to PT the
repeater on
and off within the 10 Minute window.
3) Sending the 74.4 tone again within the 10 minute window will reset
the 10
minute timer.

By Miles Mann WF1F,
Slow Scan TV from Space Station Mir, 10 years later.
On December 12, 1998 the crew members of the Russian
Space station Mir activated the Marex SSTV system.
Over the next two years the system broadcasted over
20,000 SSTV images back to earth via Amateur Radio.
te the 10 year anniversary of the successful
imaging project, the Marx team is planning on
upgrading our web page system to accommodate the many
images that were transmitted during the projects 2
year run. In 1998 we just did not have the resources
in place to handle the hundreds of images coming in
every day. As a result only a small select on of the
images were ever posted for public enjoyment.

The AO-16 Command Team invites radio amateurs to continue to use
the voice mode of operations. Mark, N8MH says, "The plan is to
continue this mode of voice operations until further notice."
AO-16 has been in full sunlight (no eclipse periods at all) for
several months. That is about to change later this month! Short
eclipse periods will begin at the end of March and will increase
steadily until early July--at which point the eclipse periods will
increase to about 26 minutes each orbit. We'll have to watch this
old bird and its batteries as the eclipse periods increase.
The S-band beacon is not operational at this time. The exact
status of the S-band transmitter remains unknown.
The AO-16 Command Team has updated the weekly satellite report

#1. AMSAT and TAPR will again have a combined Banquet during the
2008 Dayton Hamvention. Unfortunately the Air Force is no longer
offering the museum for non-military events. The 2008 AMSAT/TAPR
Banquet will be Friday night, May 16 at the Kohler Presidential
Banquet Center in Kettering, OH. Banquet times, the menu and the
cost will be announced shortly, but all are expected to be similar
to past banquets. Mark you calendar for Friday, May 16 and join
your AMSAT and TAPR friends for an enjoyable evening.
#2. The AMSAT Engineering video featuring Bob McGwier had to be
moved. The new URL is mms://media.wmfd.com/amsat/EngMovie08.wmv
Bob discusses the engineering team plans for the next year. They
have a number of things on their plate and it looks like a productive
year for AMSAT Engineering. Thanks to Rob and Gunther Meisse and
WMFD for hosting the video. We have a number of other amateur videos
in production.
#3. We are evaluating placing the current AO-51 mode on the front
page of the AMSAT web site for a few weeks. We will change the

Hi all,
I have published several articles in relation to ham satellites in AMSAT
and other magazines such as URE, CQ-DL, Megahertz Magazine and several
Webs. But most of them were in Spanish. I have translated them into
English, you can find the following issues:
- The CJU antenna. It was designed by EB4DKA and EA4CYQ to improve the
UHF reception with your HT, it is thought to uplink with your VHF mobile
station. You will receive the UHF downlink in the same way a fix
satellite station.
- The IOio antenna. It was designed by EA4CYQ to work V/U and U/V
amateur satellites with an HT. It has an amazing performance, it is
even better than the Arrow antenna in some features.
- A dual band portable yagui antenna. This is a very well known antenna
into the amateur satellites world. Here you can find how to build it
with normal stuff and an impressive performance.
- The EGGBEATER II and TPM II antennas. They were designed by Jerry
K5OE. In this article I tell my experience at the beginning in the
amateur satellites world and all the vicissitudes to work amateur
satellites from my shack with the minimal equipment. Here you will find
all the details to build these fantastic antennas.
- The 2.4GHz DISH ANTENNA. Taking advantage of my AO-40 experience I
could go more deeply into the microwaves world. Here you can find all
the details to build two different 2.4GHz dish feed systems, which you
will be able to use in wireless terrestrial communications.
- The LINEAR TRANSPONDERS. A lot of amateur satellites use this system.
This article will help you to understand how they work.
- HF or SATELLITES?. I try to demonstrate with this article that a
satellite fix station is at least as good as an HF station. You will
get the same performance with small antennas and low power out.
- The DATA CONNECTOR. This connector has much more possibilities than
to be hooked to a TNC. In this article I study its features and I
propose to use it with a PC soundcard, to receive meteorological
satellites and I even propose to build a cross band repeater. You will
be surprised about its possibilities.
- CIRCULAR POLARIZATION. If you want to know more about this kind of
polarization and you want to see a comparative of VHF and UHF circular
polarized commercial antennas, you should read this article.
- TRANSCEIVERS TO WORK SATELLITES. If you are thinking about setting up
a fix satellite station, here you can find all the transceivers in the
market and combinations between them to be successful.
- THE EA4CYQ SHACK. Here I describe my shack, perhaps it could be
useful as a reference if you are thinking about setting up one.
- THE EA4CYQ LOG. If you have contacted with my station between June
1.996 and March 2.008, here you can find it. It is in call sign
alphabetical order. We will upload it in the near future.
You can find them at the following Webs due to the generosity of Pedro
EB4DKA and Rodolfo EA4CAX:
http://eb4dka.laserenadigital.com (also www.eb4dka.tk ). This Web is
devoted to ham satellites and Pedro has an impressive collection of
photos, videos and interesting articles. He is an authority working in
portable conditions.
http://personales.ya.com/ea4cax/ Rodolfo is specialized in LEO and
Geostationary meteorological satellites.
O hope you enjoy this articles devoted to promote the amateur satellites.

(not up and running currently)
To switch the transmitter on, you need to send a CTCSS tone of 74.4 Hz.
The order of operation is thus: (allow for Doppler as necessary):
1) Transmit on 145.850 MHz with a tone of 74.4 Hz to arm the 10 minute
timer
on board the spacecraft.
2) Now transmit on 145.850 MHz (FM Voice) using 67.0 Hz to PT the
repeater on
and off within the 10 Minute window.
3) Sending the 74.4 tone again within the 10 minute window will reset
the 10
minute timer.

(not up and running currently)
To switch the transmitter on, you need to send a CTCSS tone of 74.4 Hz.
The order of operation is thus: (allow for Doppler as necessary):
1) Transmit on 145.850 MHz with a tone of 74.4 Hz to arm the 10 minute
timer
on board the spacecraft.
2) Now transmit on 145.850 MHz (FM Voice) using 67.0 Hz to PT the
repeater on
and off within the 10 Minute window.
3) Sending the 74.4 tone again within the 10 minute window will reset
the 10
minute timer.

(not up and running currently)
To switch the transmitter on, you need to send a CTCSS tone of 74.4 Hz.
The order of operation is thus: (allow for Doppler as necessary):
1) Transmit on 145.850 MHz with a tone of 74.4 Hz to arm the 10 minute
timer
on board the spacecraft.
2) Now transmit on 145.850 MHz (FM Voice) using 67.0 Hz to PT the
repeater on
and off within the 10 Minute window.
3) Sending the 74.4 tone again within the 10 minute window will reset
the 10
minute timer.
