What freq is Richard listening for his adhoc voice contacts (not the
school ones) ?
Is it the listed one for ISS region 2 --> 144.490?
or is he running simplex so he is listening on 145.800?

Hi Angelo And Dave
Over the +12 volt DC connector there is a 1000 pF disk capacitor connected
from the center of DC connector to the ground on PCB
In addition I have added a diode IN4007 to protect the relay winding from the
high voltages developing across the coil during circuit openings.
The katode of the diode must be connected to the central pin of the DC
connector while the anode is connected to the ground on PCB

Hi Domenico and Dave,
Thanks for the pics and the help . They helped a lot. The other question I
have is that there is 3 componets on the power connector and one on the ground
side of the
boom screw. I cant tell what they are. I have two on the power connector
and nothing on the ground pin. I know they need to be changed. Can you help
with this??
Thanks

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: I need help with Orbitron again.
The problem this time when I go to predict I get
A message on the screen that says
Information and X on the top It also tells me
No Iridium loaded
And the only option I have is say OK
This means I can,t get the latest keps.
Another thing I don,t understand is I haven,t been
Able to get current keps for VO-52
The others are ok before I had this predict problem.

Hi Jerry..
In the prediction setup tab, make sure you have it set for passes and
not flares. This will make it do that I think.
Not sure about AO-52 but when you update keps, I use celestrak and tell
it all.
Hope this helps out.

ARISS International Chairman, and AMSAT-NA V.P. for Human Spaceflight
Programs, Frank Bauer, KA3HDO reported Richard Garriott is now on-
orbit after a successful launch. The Soyuz crew has completed docking
with the ISS as of October 14. All are aboard the ISS.
Richard has commenced amateur radio activity from the ISS using FM
phone, Slow-Scan Television (SSTV), and packet operations. The ARISS
team encourages hams to upload their ISS SSTV pictures on the ARISS
SSTV Gallery. In addition, we are posting late breaking information
and pictures on the ARISS SSTV blog.
The blog is at:
http://www.ariss-sstv.blogspot.com/
And the gallery is at:
http://www.amsat.com/ARISS_SSTV/
There are links at the Gallery site to submit your SSTV pictures. Also
included are helpful hints for SSTV operations during Richard Garriott's
flight. ARISS appreciates your SSTV picture submissions to the gallery.
Amateur stations around the world have reported hearing FM voice and
SSTV operation while the ISS crew is awake. Packet operations are
planned for operation during the crew sleep period (20:30-05:00 UTC).

BID: $ANS-293.04
Wouter Jan Ubbels PE4WJ, reports the Delfi-C3/DO-64 teama has
successfully switched their Delfi-C3 satellite into basic mode.
This means Delfi-C3 is currently transmitting 1200bit/s BPSK house-
keeping telemetry on the primary downlink frequency of 145.870MHz.
In this mode, AX.25 frames containing housekeeping telemetry are
transmitted approximately once every 4-5 secs, with the rest of the
transmission being filled with idle flags.
The Delfi team encourages everyone to receive, decode and forward
telemetry using the RASCAL software as previously done during the
first three months of science mission. The RASCAL telemetry decoding
software can be downloaded at: http://www.delfic3.nl/rascal
At this moment, the Delfi team does not know how long the satellite
will be in this mode, but they are planning on a couple of weeks of
telemetry operations. You can stay informed on their mission opera-
tions page at
http://www.delfic3.nl/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=93&Itemid=12

and via the AMSAT-BB. They will regularly post on and monitor the
OSCAR status page at http://oscar.dcarr.org/ as well.

ANS received news via Amateur Radio Newsline that a ham known to
many in AMSAT has been critically injured in a hot air balloon
crash at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta on Friday,
October 10th. Another passenger aboard the ballon was killed in
the crash.
Killed in the crash was Stephen Lachendro, of Butler, Pennsylvania.
Keith Sproul, WU2Z, was critically injured in the accident when the
'Wings of Wind' balloon hit powerlines near the festival grounds
just North of the city.
According to news reports, there were gusty winds as the two balloon-
ists were trying to land. From pictures taken by attendees, it
appears as if the basket carrying the men caught fire after hitting
the power lines, separated from the balloon envelope and fell to the
ground.
First responders reported that Lachendro was found lying on the side
of a ditch after falling 45 feet to his death. Sproul who was report-
edly piloting the balloon jumped some 60 feet from the burning gondola.
WU2Z was unconscious when he was found and was flown by helicopter to
a local hospital where he was admitted in critical condition. Reports
say that he suffered a broken leg and hip, punctured lungs and burns
to his face.
Keith Sproul is the twin brother Mark Sproul, KB2ICI. The two are best
known in ham radio circles as the co-authors of the popular WinAPRS,
MacAPRS and X-APRS APRS is the multi-faceted position reporting
system originally developed by Bob Bruninga, WB4APR. It allows the
monitoring of real time geographical information such as the position
of vehicles, the status of weather, radio direction finding and much
more.
According to a National Guard spokesman at the scene, the National
Transportation Safety Board will investigate this latest crash.

Go get the keps yourself from Space-Track.
There are keps there for 11873 objects. One of them must be the bird you want.

I made 8 contacts on AO-51, and only one JOTA!!
KE7WB, Brien in Woodinville, WN ~0227Z 190ct08..
I'll send you a couple of QSL's Brien, or more if you had more than
one Boy Scout there....Let me know...
Years ago we would make many contacts for the same event...
When I was a Navy fighter pilot flight instructor at Pensacola
1947-48 I was an Air Scoutmaster, so perhaps my interest is a little
higher....I'd give them rides in an R4D navy transport...C47 for
other than navy....
Perhaps too late for the rest of the country by the time I could get
on today, we'll try again next year....
Seems like one of the better ways to promote ham radio, and in
particular hamsats...

isn't cross-satellite operation involving signals travelling BETWEEN
satellites before being heard by the other station? AO-16 and AO-51 have
their uplinks in the SAME BAND, and downlinks also in the SAME BAND so
wouldn't that make it impossible to for either satellite to react to the
other??
The way I read this... you are hearing unintentional uplinks to the
satellite you're listening on, just because the second sat has an identical
uplink, and overlapping footprint. Please correct me if I'm interpreting
this wrongly.

I really enjoy reading about the specific construction and operation of the
satellites! I really hope that the builders of this satellite, and also
older sats, can find reasons to express their experiences and insight into
these sats, so that we can learn about how they work(or don't work),
satisfying the scientific portion of my brain. Sats are fun to operate when
they're working, but I also find them just as much fun, or maybe more, when
their quirks and modes-of-failure are analysed publicly on here.
The archived, relatively recent discussions regarding AO-7, AO-16, and AO-40
have provided me with such joy to read!
Please continue this trend.
73 all
