No.

If they are maximized and i try to resize them they disapear.
I found huge numbers in the configfile. So i've reset the configfile and the
problem is solved now.
Tnx for enswering.

[amsat-bb] AO51 USB/FM-mode recomment

2009-12-29 Thread Danny Casier
It is realy needed to reduce the power as much as possible.
On high angle 1W is enough. 
Last pas over Europe was a mess. Many are trying full power.
Some guys trying in FM.
So try next time to reduce power. Take 5 or 10W over horizon and 5W or less high
angle.

[amsat-bb] HO68 is GREAT

2009-12-23 Thread Danny Casier
Hallo satboys,

HO68 (XW-1) linear transponder is great.
I worked ST2NH, ON, I, F, OE, SP, and G
The max elivation was 67° and i had to reduce the power from 30°. I heard
distortion on full power. 
I could work the sat from 1° elevation with the 8 el horizontal polarisation.

This is a great job from the Chinees hams. Congrats.

Merry Chrismas.

Same here.
Using 100W and X-quad. And no pass trough. 
Or the pilote tone is changed or the uplink frequentie or the squelch on the
input is set too high.

Hi,

I was unable to open the uplink with my Yaesu FT-847. The PL tone was
set 67.0 Hz but unable to open the uplink channel.

During the pass I tryed the following.

- Checked Subtone.SQF file twice SatPC32 (XW-1,67.0,$3F,1)
- Checked Doppler.SQF (XW-1,435675,145825,FM,FM,NOR,0,0,Repeater-BBS)
- Restarted SatPC32
- Switched of and on the Yaesu FT-847
- Did a manual setup via menu option 12 for the tone frequentie
- Used FMN on the uplink

Nothing worked :(

There where only three or four stations active during this pass
and that makes me wonder if I was the only one with tone problems?

I did receive some BBS Packets:

BJ1SA-12BBSTATUI,C,F0:
Open BJ1SA-12:0

BJ1SA-12BBSTATUI,C,F0:
Open BJ1SA-12:0


Maybe beter luck next time

If my numbers are correct, this bird is certainly much higher than AO-27 and 
AO-51.  At an orbit 800 miles above earth, this will stretch the footprint a 
bit further east for those needing KH6 on the birds.  Let's hope for more 
activity from KH6!

[amsat-bb] Re: Loosing the north!!! final conclusion.

2009-12-12 Thread Danny Casier

Hi Luc


I have 24 elements UHF linear yagi and after the switch i got a lot of
small fades with a huge one. 

You have also polarisation. So it's normal you have fading due the spin of
the sat.
24 elements, that's about 30° of opening angle. That's small if your
motorconrol is slow and the time need to reach the good position takes to
long. It is possible, and typical when the sat goes over the 60 degrees
elevation, the sat is moving so quick that your antenna system can't turn
quick enough, so the sat moves out the opening cone of the antenna.

A good way to line up the antenna system is using the sun. (or the moon)
(need blue sky hi hi)
Run a program the gives you the az and el of the sun or (moon) and set the
antenna system to that direction. Then follow the shadow of the antenna if
it lines up with the boom. An outher way is following ISS when it is visible
and see if the antennas moving in the same way as ISS. A couple months ago i
was suppriced. I saw IIS moving more than 45° out (after) of my antenna
system not because it was not good lined up but because i had not updated
the keps within two weeks. My antenna system on 2m is about 45° of opening
angle so i heard ISS loud. But when it was a small sat with tiny output
signal, it was passed without hearing it only due using the wrong keps.

Now, I suggest not to climbing into your tower in a snowstorm to line up our
antenna system. It is not good for bones and brain. Hi hi

[amsat-bb] Re: Loosing the north!!!

2009-12-11 Thread Danny Casier
It depends what antenna system you have. If you use high gain antenna
system, how can you see the differens? 
Best way is comparing with a no directional antenna before and after the
clip over of the sat. But that's to late for that now. Perhaps we can start
start to messure and after next clip over we can start al over again so we
can compare the data. Messurements must be done with several passes and same
equipment.

Onderwerp: [amsat-bb] Loosing the north!!!



Again my Alfa Spid AZ rotor act again yesterday evening it loose his north
setting as it is electronicly set with the control box. Very 
easy to reset but in the middle of a snow storm (25cm) i was unable to find
something to point the beam physically to the north.

At the same time there was an AO-51 pass i adjust the rotor to an estimated
north and i follow the whole pass manually writing down the 
real calculated azimuth and the one i got from a maximum signal swinging the
rotor back an forth.

I make another pass doing the same operation to fined tuned my pointing and
today on the 1549 EDT pass i was able to get the satelllite at 
1 degrees AOS ans LOS!! signal was S7 most of the time and reaching S9 near
TCA?

I don't know if AO-51 is still pointing towards the southern hemisphere but
i notice only one deep fade and signal was much better than the 
first attitude change days and i think he never was so strong?

I'm guessing my scientific previous north pointing was bad or my UHF beam
is shooting not towards he point? I'm always using automatic AZ 
tracking could be i was shooting aside of the target for a while...

Just try this on a pass could be you will be astonish too? 

If AO-51 was returned back to his normal attitude i will have to reavaluate
all of what i wrote above.

[amsat-bb] good way to work SO67

2009-12-05 Thread Danny Casier

Pse take care of the rule and don't call every time.

Call CQ and wait 3 seconds. THEN LISTEN. DON'T CALL AGN so another station
can call you. If you call again CQ, no one is able to work you.
Last pas was very fustrated due every time the sat went on the same station
was calling CQ. Sorry buth this is not the way you work SO67.

I can't get any working keps for rs-30 into satpc32, it just crashes after
what looks like an iterative calculation that doesn't work.

This is true for the RS-30 keps today at:

http://www.amsat.org/amsat/ftp/keps/current/nasabare.txt

and for the YUBILEINY keps (same satellite) just uploaded onto the bb.

I assume that either there is something fundamentally wrong with the keps
from whatever source, or that the orbit falls outside that scanned by
satpc32.

any thoughts, guys?
