[amsat-bb] Nothing from ARISSat-1?
Over the past couple of days I've heard ARISSat once. Even on the really high passes (up to 27° on the highest ones) there's just been not a cheep out of it. It must be in full daylight, too. Has anyone else heard it? I notice my tweetly noise is still there on 145.919MHz, still no idea what that is. It seems weaker today, but maybe that's a weather thing. -- Gordon JC Pearce MM0YEQ gordon...@gjcp.net ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author.

[amsat-bb] Re: Something from ARISSat-1?
Hi all, I got 3 good passes in today (all in sunlight). The first was interesting. The satellite must have been tumbling still as the signal was up and down (this is not unusual). In a single pass though I'm sure I got 'high power' telemetry, then it suddenly died, followed by 'low power' telemetry. The satellite was in Sunlight the entire time. I would say the battery is not even acting as a capacitor anymore. The unit must have made a power decision as it rotated through different sunlight angles perhaps? However indeed it is still working. 73 James VK6FJA On 26/09/2011 4:40 PM, Gordon JC Pearce wrote: Over the past couple of days I've heard ARISSat once.

[amsat-bb] Arissat-1 silent over UK: Explanation
As reported over the weekend, Arissat-1 is no longer audible in the UK, because she does not switch on until after about 14 minutes from entering sunlight. I believe the sequence is: enter sunlight: MET starts: timer activated 14 minute wait before tx - other systems live Tx on with data at a MET of 14 minutes Tx sequence We in the UK now have to wait unril the orbit continues to precess to the late evening (about 10 days' time) 73 de andy G0SFJ ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

Yes I know that and as a Responsible Ham I think We all should use the Guidelines , But in this Case From what I have found the Oscar Sats have not been on the Air since in Many Years , and NO Other Sats or ISS Is using the Freqs or set aside for them , So a Lot of Hams in the US are using the Freqs for FM/ SSB CW DIGTAL And Look the Well Established APRS And long time and still used 144.34 FM for Conducting ATV And I have seen on the Internet Some States actually adding the 144.300-144.5 As Simplex FM The Problem is I have Heard People Jamming and Arguments about this over the Air , I have even seen on the Internet when doing searches for Info Some States even include this NON Used 144.300 TO 144.500 For FM Simplex Etc.. Because NO Oscar Sats Exist or Nothing else to Interfere with But I agree 100Percent if there Was the Freqs should NOT Be used for anything other then what it was intended for Thanks 73 De Don KA9QJG PS as You know We have a lot of older Hams kind of set in their ways and the New ones Are Listening and looking for ways to Fit in, and We need as Many New Responsible Hams in this Hobby as We can get But How Could We get on these Freqs Some are using and Say Hey We are not allowed here Because of the Oscar Sub Band Something that has been Gone for over 20 Yrs ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
