I've never been there and I assume the old NASA station no longer exists for decades. What kind of government or other official facility is there where we might be able to convince powers-that-be to insall an IGate? Not sure what drives the requirement for a government facility. Could we reach out to VP9MU or other VP9? -Joe ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member? Join now to support the amateur satellite program!

[amsat-bb] W5PFG/P EM03 (Correction Pass)
I originally said November 19, but I meant to say December 19. I will be operating from EM03 on SO-50 at 10:00 UTC 19-12-2011. Later that same day and the following, I will also be found in DM94-95, and DM85. 73 Clayton W5PFG ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?

[amsat-bb] Re: APRS on Bernuda and Atlantic
Bob; What would be the legality (maritime and otherwise) of a floating solar powered APRS equipped raft? I am thinking along the lines of a Styrofoam NERF-ball type approach that would pose little danger to ships but could be big enough for solar panels, APRS, GPS, weather station, camera and other experiments . Something that could serve as a relay as well as a data collection experiment. For comms, maybe APRS plus some high speed satellite data uplink, commercial or amateur.

Message-ID: 56bfe4e9-aee0-4f10-a1c7-75d071f78...@mac.com Content-Type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII Wow - ARISSat-1's pre-recorded voice messages, computer voice info, and images were booming here in Southern California just now! Clint Bradford K6LCS Agreed! I got a real strong signal yesterday in New Hampshire on a 20 or 30 degree pass and just before eclipse. In fact I was watching as it went into eclipse. I say watching because I was actually looking at the waterfall on SDR-Radio and trying to feed the BPSK-1000 into the telemetry program with a physical audio cable. I had no luck making that work, but I could see strong FM and SSTV, and I could *see* the SSB even if I could not decode it. Burns, W2BFJ ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] Doppler Curves ?
hi guys, in the olden days a satellites TCA could be determined by using pencil and graph paper and plotting time v frequency. Is there a modern and more elegant way of doing it with signal anaysis software like Spectravue, Spectran or similar. Need it for an education outreach project and I just know that graph paper and pencils will not be cool. 73 John G7HIA ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author.

[amsat-bb] ARISSat-1/RADOSKAF-V/KEDR
Note excellent ARISSat-1 SSTV Pictures today from DJ3AK and JA0CAW listed on the ARISS SSTV Gallery. How about these stations and others trying to send pictures through the Transponder 435.750 up and 145.950 dn and posting results on the Gallery. Possibly only a few weeks left to experiment with this Historical satellite! It appears that only 3 stations have sent images through the transponder to date?

[amsat-bb] Meteor Shower DX
Meteors scatter works not just during showers, but give enhanced paths throughout the day and night on a regular basis. We jsut missed the Geminids 4 days ago, but anyone in remote areas with a TNC can easily monitor for packets anytime, as long as they pick a frequency where there is known activity around 500 to 1200 miles away (and nothing local). In the USA, 144.39 can give that opportunity if you live in a remote area, far from any APRS activity on 144.39 such that the frequency is clear. then you have an Excellent chance to capture some DX meteor packets whenever a lucky meteor goes by. Your porbabliities are high, because there are tens of thousands of APRS transmitters on 144.39 all over the country, and if you are lucky to be in a dead zone, then you have an ideal chance to capture some DX ones that might come in. Just set your TNC to monitor 144.39 (assuming it is quiet in your area). And see if you capture any DX in 24 hours. Of course, even if you have no local traffic on 144.39 some mobile might drive through your area, so you might capture him. But other wise, if you capture a callsign, you can check him out with http://aprs.fi/CALL-SS where CALL-SS is is callsign and SSID. If the packet came in from 500 to 1200 miles away, good chance it was via a meteor. If 144.39 is dead in your area, and you have an old TNC... why not? Bob, WB4APR ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
