When the Delfi presentation was on this morning at the AUK

Will the PE3/P5A Presentations be archived and made available for those who
missed the live version?
Thanks,

Subject: [amsat-bb] Presentations on P3E and the Mars Orbiter P5A
The Amateur Radio Mars Orbiter P5A and the High Earth Orbit (HEO) P3E will
feature in presentations given by AMSAT-DL on Saturday July 26th, at the
AMSAT-UK 'Satellite Weekend' which is open to all.
The Amsat P5-A will be the first spacecraft built by Radio Amateurs to go to
the Red planet and the first ever private interplanetary spacecraft. It will
use frequencies in the Amateur Satellite Service allocations at 2.4 and 10
GHz.
A video of P5-A 'With AMSAT P5-A to MARS' can be seen at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIJ548EyUME
Pioneering spacecraft like these demonstrate the need for the both the
Amateur Radio and Amateur Satellite Services to have access to Low Noise
Floor allocations in the microwave spectrum so they can carry out weak
signal experimentation.
The P3E presentation by Peter Guelzow DB2OS takes place at 11:30 am (1030
GMT) on Saturday. He will followed by Achim Vollhardt DH2VA with the
presentation on the Mars Orbiter P5A.
Thanks to the BATC both presentations will be streamed live to the web at
http://www.batc.tv/
New for 2008, it has been arranged with the University for "walkin" day
visitors for ?10 per day. For this, you do not get any meals, only
attendance at lectures/beginners sessions. It does not entitle you to any
other of the functions. There is no need to book, just turn up on the day.
It would help if you could let us know in advance if you intend using this
facility, please email g3wgm(AT)amsat.org

Great I just turned on the G5600 and LVB Tracker and getting
"Warning Bad EPROM DATA", Can I try to reload the Eprom or do I
have to order a new one?? Thanks Ron

Dear All,
I migrating my satellite PC to a new maching, both of which uses
Windows XP professional edition. All along, I have been using WISP
and WISPDDE client for rotator and doppler tracking and plan to
continue using the same software.
Rotator control is working great here with the LVB tracker and Yaesu
G-5500. However, doppler is not working as how it should be. For
this, I use the CI-V cable from G4ZLP which was working perfectly OK
on the old machine. I have configured WISPDDE client to IC-910H as
radio 1. However, WISPDDE gives errors (when the pass starts, and
frequency is passed from WISP to WISPDDE client via DDE) like "Unable
to cancel duplex command" and some other errors whenever
"Bidirectional interface" is enabled. If "Bidirectional interface" is
unchecked, everything works fine. I cant this enabled (causes WISPDDE
client to hang up), so for now I have to let it be disabled.
I use the IC-910H in satellite mode with this setup, as this is
required to get the downlink on the top (RX) and uplink on the bottom
(TX). Would be glad if anyone could help me on this matter. Although
this is not a serious trouble, I cant get WISPDDE to recognise small
changes/compensation made using the VFO knob on the IC-910H especially
when copying CW satellites.
Also, in this configuration, IC-910H could not switch bands
automatically. Say for example, IC-910H is set for TOP band, 70 CM
RX, Bottom Band, 2M TX. This works well automatically for Mode J
satellites like AO-51 and GO-32. But when ISS passes comes in, it
will not reverse the top and bottom bands. (I have configured 2M on
top (RX - 145.800 MHz), 70CM on the bottom (TX - 437.800 MHz) for
cross band repeater configuration). The M/S key on the IC-910H has to
be pressed to reverse the top and bottom bands before the pass for
doppler correction to be done correctly. In other words, I have to
ensure the downlink and uplink bands are set properly on the radio's
display before the pass.
This is really a problem for ISS SATGATE and automated satellite
reception operation. Would really appreciate any pointers here.
Thank you very much in advance.
73,
Sion Chow Q. C.,
9W2QC.

Northerly pass?footprint was coast to coast but only three users?counting
myself. FO-29 works?great on SSB. Thanks to JARL.
