ISS Amateur Radio Status: October 17, 2008
By Miles Mann WF1F,
Slow Scan TV Status
MAREX-MG News www.marexmg.org
Manned Amateur Radio Experiment
Hello all:
I hope you have been enjoying the Slow Scan TV show from the International
Space Station.
Current Status:
ISS has two operational SSTV systems running. This morning The ISS crew used
the Laptop version from MarexMG called SpaceCam1 for a few images (October 17,
09:32 UTC). And then later the same day switched over to the Battery powered
Kenwood VC-H1 System.
VC-H1:
Since the VC-H1 will only run on batteries, (and it does go through 4 AA
batteries in a very short time), Garriott's will only be using the VC-H1 when
he is near by to shut it off when ISS goes into the shadow of the Earth.
I do not expect much usage of the VC-H1 after Garriott's mission is over. The
VC-H1 was flow as a last-minute back up because of a problem with missing
cables for the SpaceCam1 platform and a problem with the existing VOX box.
SpaceCam1:
In August 2006, ISS commander Pavel ran some Slow Scan TV tests from ISS.
http://www.marexmg.org/imagessstv/SpaceCamImages1.htm
During the testing we heard from a few reliable ground stations that the
transmitter was getting stuck ON and the radio's watch-dog timer would
shutdown the radio after 3 minutes of continuous transmission. We were never
able to debug the problem in flight. It was assumed that there was some stray
audio or RF that may have been keeping the VOX box in a constant transmit
state.
In June this summer a quick decision was made to send a full backup TM-D700
and full set of cables and new VOX Box up to ISS for Garriott's mission on the
next available Progress Cargo rocket. Now we have plenty of cables, radios and
theoretically two VOX boxes and a VC-H1.
The SpaceCam1 software has been used from ISS several days this past week,
including October 12 and 17. We have heard rumors that the transmitter is
staying keyed. If this is true, it means we need a better VOX box solution.
SpaceCam1 has the ability to be left running 24/7. If we can achieve this
goal, we will be able to present SSTV images to everyone around the whole
world.
VOX Box Replacement Project:
The Marex team is working on a new project proposal to replace the existing
VOX box with an USB Off-the-Shelf version. We have been testing a production
version for a few months now with SpaceCam with excellent results. We had
tentatively planned on presenting the project at the July Moscow ARISS
meeting, however due to cut backs in the meeting schedules there were just too
many project and not enough time to work in more project presentations.
If you feel there is a benefit to the amateur radio community to provide 24/7
SSTV down link images, then please support Marex and the VOX Box Replacement
Project. Contact your ARISS delegates and ask them too to support Marex SSTV
from Space.
Sincerely
Miles Mann WF1F Marexmg.org
ARISS Delegates:

Slow Scan TV Links and Free SSTV software links.
http://www.marexmg.org/fileshtml/sstvlinkpage.html
The standard downlink of 145.800 will be used for voice contacts, school
contacts and SSTV transmissions. Anyone with a FM receiver capable of
monitoring the 145.800 MHz downlink can receive audio and SSTV images. The
standard voice uplink frequencies of 145.200 for ITU Region 1 (Europe, Africa
and Russia) and 144.490 for ITU regions 2 & 3 (N. America, S. America,
Southern Asia, Australia) will be used.
Additional info on SSTV operations is available at:
http://www.marexmg.org/fileshtml/howtouseiss.html
Ground stations are encouraged to capture as many of the transmitted
SSTV images and forward them to the Marex at SSTV(AT)ISSSPACECAM.ORG
After you receive an image, please rename the images using the following
format, (All Lower case letters). All dates and times must be in UTC.
Year 08, Month 10, Day 14, (UTC time), Call sign,
(optional Short text description) .JPG
Example:

or
0810141905wf1fgreatlakes.jpg
If you are not a licensed amateur operator, just place your initials
after the time (0607311905abc.jpg)
We would also like to know the following information in your email:
Name or Call sign
Country / State
Receiver
Software decoding tool
Elevation or range of ISS when you decoded the image.
The best image received for a given time period will be posted to
http://www.issspacecam.org/

Hi Angelo,
In a separate email I have sent to you 3 enlarged pictures of the PCB
for the KLM polarity switcher.
Please note that the holes from one side to the other side of the PCB
are metallized.
When soldering the new relay do not use a too high temperature for the
soldering iron otherwise the studs of relay becames oxidated (blue color)
If possible use solder from ALPHA METALS INC with 62 Sn, 36 PB and
2 Ag

Hi Angelo,
Very good advice, as usual, Dom...
I replaced mine years ago, got mine out of the junk box, and it did
not exactly make contact with some of the foil on the board...I just
made a jumper from small diameter copper, and it has been up there
for years...same thing if some of the traces are missing..
I live fairly near the coast, and have the typical salt water corrosion...

Hi!
I will be part of the AMSAT table at the Old Pueblo Radio Club's
hamfest in Tucson AZ tomorrow. The hamfest is at the Kino Sports
Complex on Ajo Way, east of I-10, in grid DM42me. During the hamfest,
I am planning to do several satellite demonstrations as WD9EWK.
For AO-51, I hope to have a Scout at the mic to contact other Scouts
during those passes. If not, I will try to make contact with Scouts,
in keeping with AMSAT's wishes for the AO-51 JOTA configuration this
weekend. Besides AO-51, I plan on trying SO-50, FO-29, and VO-52.
This will be the first time I will do demonstrations on non-FM
satellites with my two FT-817NDs at a hamfest. On FO-29, I tend to
end up around 435.850-435.855 MHz on the downlink. For VO-52, I
generally work around 145.910-145.915 MHz on the downlink. Of course,
if there are stations around these spots already, I will move to another
spot on the passbands - probably a little higher - so my non-automated
station doesn't QRM others.
Since the ISS will be passing by in the morning, I will be listening
during those passes. If someone is on the microphone up there making
contacts, I will try to make a contact from the hamfest.
I will send QSL cards to all stations that make contacts with WD9EWK
from the hamfest. No need to send me anything first, if we make a
contact tomorrow.
73!

I received a total of 3 SSTV transmissions today (17 Oct 2008) at grid
FM18. The transmission at 2031z was mostly clear depicting the Soyuz module
with Earth in the background. The other two earlier ones were pretty
noisy/ghostly. Received using MMSTV in Robot36 format (auto selected).
Gear here: Yaesu FT-857 with 2m/440 Ringo in the attic.

That particular thing happens when the VC-H1 is left on and the
battery runs down. Obviously Richard accidently left the VC-H1 on. I
have accidently done that many times. When there is not enough power
to run the camera there is a blank screen but the other electronics is
still running and it captures a blank image and sends it down. Since
the transmitter is powered separately so it's not bothered by the
battery running down.

Well, life is weird. I'm not going to attend the hamfest tomorrow. Things
are up in the air as of now about allot of things.
I don't know which direction I am going. Up or down. Left or right. Back or
forth. Selling out or not.
There is the possibility of some cash soon due to the sell
of a house so.......
As they say.....
"If Mama isn't happy, nobody is" if you catch the way I have drifted.
If I do COMMIT to the sellout, I will let you all know for sure.

?? I have been collecting satellite gear for the past few years and have not
even used most of it. Alot of the items are brand new. ARR Preamps, M2 CP
VHF and UHF antenna's, (the BIG one's)?Rohn 45 tower parts, ect...
?
The radio's are..

Both radio's are in excellent condition (8-9 out of a 10)
?
I also have 3 service monitors and assorted test gear that I will be
selling.
2 ea IFR 1000S and 1ea. Cushman CE-50TG
?
I will be attending the Gray Tennessee hamfest, located in northeast
Tennessee on the 18th of October.
?
If your wanting to build up a topnotch satellite, or VHF/UHF station, Please

For 2 meter up- and downlink (the normal mode for ISS), you must use the
special ISS version of SatPC32, SatPC32ISS, which puts the transceiver in
"split" mode, rather than satellite mode. You must also provide a
handshaking signal to your serial port to prevent the software from trying
to change frequencies while transmitting.
See the file SatPCISS.txt in the program folder for details.
Good luck!!

Don't forget that we had perfectly functional SSTV software 10 years ago with
JVFAX, which didn't even use a sound card. Just a 1-bit interface - an opamp
tied to the control lines of a serial port on an 8 mHz 286 PC running MS-DOS.
Scottie-1 on 20 meters, yeah! It didn't decode Robot-36, but I figured out
that I could receive the SSTV pictures from MIR by using one of the B&W modes.

Hi,
I am trying to get some telemetry from DO-64 while it is in this mode.
Unfortunately I missed the the initial period of TLM just after launch,
owing to other problems. By the time I had solved these, DO-64 had
switched into transponder mode!
I've managed to get some packets using my hardware PSK decoder (G3RUH)
and PK-88 TNC in KISS mode. However, I can't find any information about
the format of the data or any telemetry equations. Where are these
details located?
I've had less success with RASCAL. It appears to be working, and I get
short periods when it locks onto the signal, but no packets received.
The indicated frequency seems to vary widely, and sync is often lost
when a packet is transmitted.
Is the audio clip on the Delfi-C3 website suitable for use as a test
signal? I have a better sound card, so I may try that.
Any help would be most appreciated.

Hallo All,
Seems that Garriott put back his kenwood VH-C1 unit on the window.
