Thanks for provided the XW-1 transponder to this part of South America. Here some recordings made in 29 Dec. 2009: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1auAZ1oh94o http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuDi0M7wZGI When is possible stay GG and GF fields on the HO-68 future operational planning. They are among the most dense in terms of amateur radio operators in South America but was not well covered on past schedulles. Anyway we are keep tuning even during beacon-only mode.

[amsat-bb] XW-1 0815 UTC over Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Dear All, For the first time this morning (26th December 2009 at 0815 UTC, 45 Deg Elevation), the linear transponder of XW-1 / HO-68 was turned on over Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The transponder was sounding very well, with a couple of high speed CW stations and JAs heard on SSB just after AOS. Unfortunately, had too short a window to find my uplink and work the JAs. After the JA window has passed, managed to have a nice contact with E21EJC. As published, the linear transponder shut off at 0819 UTC, and after this the following CW telemetry was recorded: http://www.9w2qc.net/amsatbb/HO68_1120MYT_45DEG.mp3 Great sounding satellite, and hope to see the linear/FM transponder activated more often over this part of the region. BTW, is there any particular e-mail address (maybe from the control team) that we should use to send telemetry recordings to? Would also like to wish all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2010. 73, Sion Chow Q.

[amsat-bb] XW-1 CW Beacon very stable
Hi Alan, XW-1 is extra-ordinary stable with its CW Beacon. Using the current kepler set, I can set the filter of my Kenwood TS2000 to 50Hz, and XW-1 stays nicely within during the entire pass (15..20 minutes). Well done ! This is just 55 seconds: http://www.pa3guo.com/ho68_cw_beacon_21dec09_1008utc_pa3guo.mp3 Best regards Henk, PA3GUO The Netherlands (Europe) http://www.pa3guo.com ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] XW-1 linear transponder frequencies here
Hi all, Tried it for the first time this evening. I only had to change the downlink setting +200 Hz to hit the correct frequencies. You may experience differently with other radios. I use an IC-910. ICOM seems to display frequencies differently from the professional standard so that you have to be like 600 Hz to 800 Hz off the nominal carrier frequency in USB and LSB on the display. As far as I know the carrier frequency is used for professional radios. Great satellite. May it have a long life :-) 73 OZ1MY Ib ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] XW-1 QSO and packet attempt
I was happy to make a QSO on the FM repeater of XW-1 tonight during the 0210utc 21 Dec 2009 pass, and tried some packet too. Signals were S9 or better (didn't really look carefully). Audio was loud and clear on all stations I heard. I was able to get connected to the BBS, but unable to upload a small file. A directory request was given a -2 error a few times, too. So, it will take some tweaking, but it's working! Bravo, Mark L. Hammond [N8MH] ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?

[amsat-bb] XW-1 North America FM 21Dec2009 0205z Audio
The XW-1 pass over North America at 0205z was interesting. When the bird first came up over the horizon, it seemed to be fairly easy to work through although it was apparent that there were other signals (probably without tone) that were on the channel. As the bird went higher (an 86 degree pass for me), it was harder to get into. It could have been that the BBS stops the voice repeater but there were times that VE2DWE was making it (although noisy) and my signal was not there at all. Maybe the amount of deviation on the tone makes a difference when there are a lot of competing signals on the input. As the bird sank low on the horizon on the way north, it was again possible to get into it. Normally there are not many who get into any satellite that is in northern Canada. Less congestion on the input gives you a better chance. The details of how this bird is designed to handle packet and voice at the same time may provide an explanation of what we all experienced. The signal was strong during the entire pass; no problem hearing it. The audio recording of this pass can be downloaded at: http://www.papays.com/XW-1_21Dec2009_020500z.mp3 We look forward to more testing in the FM/BBS mode. Thanks to everyone who played a role in launching this satellite. 73, John K8YSE ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?

[amsat-bb] XW-1 heard with a rubber duck
About 12:25 today I went outside with my TH-F7E handie, and stuck in the frequency. A bit of tuning around and I had noisy but clear CW on 435.780 - quite far down in the noise but a good easy copy. I didn't write down exactly what was sent but the TTT TTT TTT groups were instantly recognisable. Gordon MM0YEQ ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author.

[amsat-bb] XW-1 BBS uplink
I succeeded in uplink to BBS digital store-forward transponder. There are many confusions between FM transponder and Digital BBS. Therefore the file upload to the BBS was not completed. Because it influence by the living together of FM and Digital BBS each other, this use feels like being difficult. http://www.ne.jp/asahi/hamradio/je9pel/91219xw2.jpg JE9PEL Mineo Wakita ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] xw 1 satellite
Just worked the new xw-1 satellite. It is nice to have a new ssb/cw satellite and it sounded great on the past a short time ago. Then that was followed by a VO-52 pass that was even louder (of course it is higher). I hope this new bird stays in the ssb/cw transponder mode most of the time. Great satellite times ahead. This gives me more of a chance to reach 6,000 qso's by satellite (still need 38) Perry WB8OTH ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?

Dear All, After a long time away from the satellites, I am pleased to report the reception of XW-1 over Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Time was 1416 UTC to 1435 UTC and I had a maximum elevation of 68 degrees. Managed to copy the beacon on 435.790 CW +/- with a very good signal of S9+. Tried to work the FM and Linear transponder, but unfortunately could not get the downlink. Is the transponder off during this pass? Time permitting, will try out again 1.5 hours from now.

Listening to this pass right now, using Mineo's keps. Quite audible with very few fades from 5 deg. with a 1/4 wave vertical and a mast-mounted preamp. Telemetry does have a 5 second period about every minute or so when it goes off. The keps are not yet suitable for doppler tuning: I'm tuning up by 2kHz right now.

[amsat-bb] XW-1 Over North America 15Dec09 1517Z
The XW-1 CW Beacon was heard over North America this morning with an excellent signal and tone quality. It sends a long string which changes a bit on every transmission. The keps are a bit off since the bird went over the horizon prior to the prediction. I lost it when it was still at 2.7 degrees according to SatPC32. The doppler correction is off as well indicating changing keps. Hopefully we will get some better keps soon. The bird is apparently ahead of the predicted position. A recording of XW-1 is on my webserver: http://www.papays.com/XW-1_15Dec2009_1517z.mp3 At one point the antenna had to turn around. I had some copy on this bird while the antennas came around 180 degrees indicating a strong signal. I noted that there were polarity shifts between right and left hand circular. At one point I tuned to the packet frequency to see if there was any activity. I heard none but only listened for a short time before returning to the beacon frequency. Congratulations to the Chinese Team that designed, built and launched this satellite. It is off to an excellent start. We look forward to having it operational soon and for many years to come. 73, John K8YSE EN91dh ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?

On the pass with AOS at 16:45:50 UTC here in Copenhagen the tone did not change (to my old ears) over the whole pass. Used 435.789400 MHz as the center frequency on the IC-910 in USB.

[amsat-bb] XW-1 Western North America 15Dec2009 1702z
XW-1 was again heard over western North America with an excellent signal. The new keps provided by Nigel G8IFF/W8IFF were used for Object A and found to be spot on. I set SatPC32 for automatic operation with the TS2000 in the CW mode and the computer clock synchronized with NIST. I never touched the radio dial or the antennas during the entire pass and as you will hear on the recording, the CW tone never changed. The TS2000 was updating the frequency every second. Again I found polarization shifts but the bird did best on Left Hand during most of the pass. This was a 22 degree pass for me to the west. One of the three letter code groups changes on every string of CW starting with BJ1SA XW XW etc and ending with XW XW. For example, the 3 letter groups for some successive transmissions were: TNE TDT AAE ATE 4VE A6E TBT 4VE T6E ATE. Every other code group in the string stayed the same, at least during this pass. I started the recording late. It is much better than my first recording with the older keps on the amsat webpge. http://www.papays.com/XW-1_15Dec2009_170842z.mp3 Let's hope we can start using the v/u transponders for voice/cw soon.

XW-1,435790,145910,USB,LSB,REV,0,0,CWbcn XW-1,435740,145950,USB,LSB,REV,0,0,Xponder XW-1,435675,145825,FM,FM,NOR,0,0,Rptr-BBS I think I have these right! Plugging these into your Doppler.SQF file and restarting should set you up for auto-tuning XW-1 after launch if that is what it is named as in the keplerian file. Can you tell I'm excited to be getting another high LEO transponder? Good Luck to the team on the launch! 73 Drew KO4MA PS XW-1,67.0,$3F,1 Put that in the sub-tone.sqf file. ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author.

[amsat-bb] XW-1?
Wondering if XW-1 was launched. I saw that China has just launched the Yaogan 7 Remote-Sensing Satellite. The launcher, orbit, etc looks right and is pretty close to the previously stated 20Dec data. Any updates out there? 73 Mike WA6ARA ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member? Join now to support the amateur satellite program!

[amsat-bb] XW-1
Hi Great to have such positive news about China's entry into the amateur radio satellite field. Alan Kungs recent posting was most encouraging. Will the space authorities in China will have a similar positve attitude towards amateur radio within their ambitious manned spaceflight program ? I hope so, and wish them well. 73 John G7HIA ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member? Join now to support the amateur satellite program!

[amsat-bb] XW-1 launch date?
ANS-333 shows XW-1 expected launch date is middle December. I heard XW-1 will launch with HJ-1C by CZ-C2 launcher. If this is true, NASA Space Calender http://www2.jpl.nasa.gov/calendar/calendar.html shows its launch date is March 2010. When will XW-1 launch??
