I was looking this morning as well, but couldn't find them. Analyzing the doppler shift indicated the pass was 50s later than the pre-launch TLE's indicated (for the 8:30 UTC pass over the UK) I updated the pre-launch TLE (by adding 50s to the Epoch time, and re-calculating the checksum) and the doppler correction on the following pass was much better. I guess the orbit may be slightly higher than predicted, resulting in a fractionally longer orbital period. 73s, Simon. G7WIQ - Original Message - From: Mark L.

[amsat-bb] ?MASat-1 heard
Scanning for the new cubesats on a 5 deg. pass, I heard early in the pass a signal on 437.351 at 13:37UTC today. Since it sounded like GFSK and the frequency was right, I assume this was MASat-1. I also heard a CW signal on the 70cm band, but it didn't seem to be A1A, and none of the current crop seem to use a different CW keying scheme on 70cm. then I found a CW signal and manually tuned it for most of the rest of the pass, until I realized it was XI-V!

Hi Mark, Masat-1 is certainly not 2012-006A or 2012-006B. They are too far forward or behind this mornings observed path. Also 2012-006C is 14s ahead of my measurement. My vote goes to 2012-0006G for Masat-1 (although there is only 8s between D, E, F, G, H J at the moment).

[amsat-bb] Re: Fully automated mode now.
Hi Andreas, I have also setup my station for unattended receive of Masat-1. I've gone with 2012-006G which closely matched my observed doppler shift this morning. I notice that the Budapest University website for Masat-1 has a map of all registered amateurs, including an indication of how many packets received by each person. http://cubesat.bme.hu/en/foldi-allomas/radioamatoroknek/ Do you know how they correlate received data with which amateur received it ? Everyone shows 0 packets at the moment. 73s, Simon G7WIQ - Original Message - From: Andy Kellner haw...@yahoo.com To: amsat-bb@amsat.org Sent: Tuesday, February 14, 2012 2:17 PM Subject: [amsat-bb] Fully automated mode now.

It's my understanding that the MaSat-1 software is supposed to forward the info to them, and when you start the program for the first time it asks for registration info. What I noticed is when the program is open and running it says offline in the lower left corner, so maybe their server isn't operational.

Hi, MASAT client working nicely, have captured a few frames this afternoon, but more by accident than judgement. The ARISSAT software was fairly tolerant of an off tune signal.

Hi Graham, I agree with you. Object A and B is far away. We can see two clusters and ALMASat. One cubesat is missing - but I believe they are still too close to identify. Or two cubesats stuck together ;-) But it's too early for such kind of speculation.

[amsat-bb] K7UGA unable to work 1943 UTC SO-50 pass today
Hi! Due to work-related matters, I will not be able to get out and work the 1943 UTC SO-50 pass as K7UGA that I planned to do. I apologize if you were hoping to hear K7UGA on that pass. At this point, there are no changes to my evening plans for K7UGA on the VO-52 passes and an SO-50 pass at 0420-0433 UTC tonight. I'm still planning to work a midday pass tomorrow, at 1832-1845 UTC on SO-50. I'm hoping there are no other complications at the office that would keep me from going out. Otherwise, my daytime operating will start on Thursday before I head out to the Yuma hamfest. 73! Patrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK http://www.wd9ewk.net/ ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] Re: Fully automated mode now.
All, I got an email from a team member in Budapest and apparently the automatic server side storage is online and functioning. He said use the latest version of the software. Apparently it works for folks over there. Unfortunately there are no details about how to configure it and what to do if it doesn't work :) But I bet its a problem with firewall configuration / closed ports. I will play around with opening up my firewall at home today after work and see if I can make it connect to their server.
