ARISS echolink thanks!
by andy thomas 03 Jan '09

03 Jan '09

My thanks to the ARISS teams at the ends of the Telebridge in ON and VK, and to the crews along the line, who realised this successful link with the ISS this morning. Here in Market Harborough UK, Colin G1IVG accessed the telebridge via his echolink system and members of the Welland Valley ARC throughout the town heard the whole operation through his 70cm link. The operation was fantastic and very impressive! Especially the heart stopping moment and quick recovery at the beginning, and Question 4, hi! 73 de andy G0SFJ

Re: [amsat-bb] Active- ISS L / v Repeater 05.01utc UK / Europe Pass

Hi David, Glad that you and others in the UK have been able to work via the repeater during this weeks experiment. The reason of course that it has been quiet over hear is due to the regression time into very early morning passes. Of course it is even worse this time of the year in view of the cold weather. Maybe perhaps the opportunity will come again in the future perhaps with a look at operations in Europe for day time passes. But not with pile ups Hi! I think that the same considerations of course may apply about crew contacts as they are of course still in rest periods during our overnight passes. Good Luck to the team for the New Year and all, thanks also to all for another step forward with progress for amateur radio. Ken Eaton GW1FKY

Repeater active for 06.36utc UK / Europe Pass. Last UK pass of the day and L/v session. Peter, MW0CXH putting through a good signal, no access for me, too low and too far. It's been a great experiment. Thanks to all involved and thanks for reports, comments and contacts. David G8OQW

Repeater active for 06.10utc UK / Europe Pass. Max 38dg elevation here so marginal for my antenna. Excellent signal via repeater from IW4DVZ calling me, my reply very weak but I hope it got there. Thank you Frank. Recorded downlink. David G8OQW

Re: [amsat-bb] ISS: L band repeater 04:40utc pass Europe
by David Barber 02 Jan '09

Poor showing this morning for some reason, the worst result since 30 December. One brief burst of carrier and that was it. Henk - Happy to have tried and more than willing to try again tomorrow early morning. Thank you for copying my signal on the earlier pass. If anyone else wants a last try tomorrow let me know. I will listen next pass, 06.09, but elevation probably too low for my Tx antenna especially based on this mornings earlier results.

I did not get over the L band uplink. Close to max elevation while TXing I heared squelch open/close but that was all. For G8OQW: Thanks a lot for joining me during these nighttime experiments David !!! Henk, PA3GUO (... now back to bed ) _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB(a)amsat.org.
