All,
I am pleased to announce that NASA has just released a new 4D ionosphere
tool that can benefit the ham radio community. To explore the
ionosphere and for more information on this outstanding modeling system,
please go to the following web sites:
The vodcast on the 4D ionosphere www.nasa.gov.

A downloadable version that includes a sound bite on how ham radio
operators will benefit from this model:

It is possible to tune for RASCAL by ear. I use the following steps:
1. Tune to find the frequency with the greatest s-meter reading
2. Listen to the tone part of the signal, not the raspy part, and aim
for a note much higher than a regular CW signal.
3. When the green sync light goes on in RASCAL, fine-tune to centre
the signal at 1600 Hz.
Does anyone know how narrow a SSB filter I can apply to this signal? I
have a TS-2000, which is quite adjustable. For now I'm using it wide
open. I know the centre signal is 1600 Hz, which is quite high. How
high/low do the sidebands go?

Hello Bruce,
When the main signal is on 1600 Hz you see on the waterfall display
two stronger signals at +/- 600 Hz (1000 and 2200Hz) and minor
signals in 150 Hz intervals from 550 to 2650 Hz.
I didn't try a narrower bandwitdh, just using the normal USB on a IC-910.

May) - report

Message-ID: <864365.87860.qm(AT)web56314.mail.re3.yahoo.com>

Hi!
On Saturday, 3 May 2008, the Cochise Amateur Radio Association (CARA)
held its annual Larry Warren Hamfest on its "Green Acres" field in
Sierra Vista AZ (grid DM41vm):
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=31.5197+n+110.1901+w&ie=UTF8&
ll=32.140734,-110.382385&spn=1.809311,2.807007&t=h&z=9&iwloc=addr
As part of the hamfest, there was an AMSAT table with information
related to amateur satellites and on-air demonstrations during 3
passes. This was a large (for Arizona) effort, with two Sierra
Vista hams (Jeff K7WIN, Bill K7WJS) taking the lead with the
planning for the effort. Larry W7LB from Tucson and I (driving
in from Phoenix) were also part of this. Jeff and Bill have
done presentations for the CARA in the recent past, laying the
foundation for the AMSAT effort at the hamfest. The CARA even
authorized us to use its callsign K7RDG for our radio operations
during the hamfest. Jeff and Bill also had information on IRLP
and EchoLink, and we monitored K7WIN's 70cm repeater on both of
those networks in case anyone wanted to call us during the hamfest.
We set up the tables in time for the 7am (1400 UTC) start of the
hamfest, put out flyers and AMSAT merchandise, and prepared our
stations (satellite and IRLP/EchoLink). We were ready for the
first pass, and talking with hams and anyone else walking by
until the first satellite pass.
AO-51 came by for an overhead pass between 1453 and 1508 UTC,
and it was a busy pass. K7RDG made contacts with 2 Canadian
stations, 6 Mexican stations, and 8 stations from all over the
continental US. Despite the number of stations, this was a
very good pass to show those not familiar to satellite operating.
About 20 minutes after that pass (1529-1543 UTC), SO-50 went by
from the north to the southeast. With a maximum elevation of 51
degrees at our station, it was another good pass for a demonstration.
K7RDG logged contacts with 10 different stations during this pass.
One Canadian station, 5 Mexican stations, and 4 US stations -
again, a very nice show for the audience.
Once SO-50 passed by, we had almost an hour before the next pass.
AO-51 made a low pass (maximum elevation 8 degrees) to the west
between 1633 and 1644 UTC. With mountains in that direction
coupled with the low elevation, K7RDG logged only 5 contacts on this
pass. Four in the continental US, and one (Dale KL7XJ) in Alaska.
As with other Saturday hamfests in Arizona, this hamfest went until
midday. Then we, like everyone else, packed up our stuff. Lots of
people stopped by our tables, we made 31 contacts with stations from
Alaska to central Mexico and all across the US, and everyone had a
good time.
Thanks to the Cochise Amateur Radio Association for the space and
the use of the K7RDG call for our demonstrations, to the operators
on these 3 passes (especially the many XE stations that showed up
and said "hello" to the hamfest), and to Jeff K7WIN and Bill K7WJS
for their work leading up to - and on the day of - the hamfest.
73!

The only decode I got the other day was by manually tuning as well and I was
able to SYNC enough to get one line of information, but the sat drops out of
the way fast and had no more. Nothing heard during the last pass at 1735z...

Now to mark down the seeds frequency and few of the others and see if I get
decode.

Luc,
Thank you for the suggestion. I was thinking that some inaccuracy with the
recording but did not think about the unregulated voltage that you
suggested. Same here, SSTV decoded of HF are clear so as that on VHF.
