Date: Mon, 01 Jul 1996 13:14:21 -0700 Message-ID: <31D8319D.777D@vogon.rain.com> I have been playing with satellite communications on AO-20, using a rather unsuitable antenna: a GP9. I have been considering buying a much better setup, with crossed yagis for 2m and 70cm. However, I don't want to spend *that* much on something just for satellite work. So, how much power loss would I get using circular polarization where horizontal or vertical would normally be used ? (I tend to think its 3db ..). Also, is it possible to feed a crossed yagi to produce (switchable) LHC, RHC, Hoizontal and Vertical polarizations ? Philip, KC7FWB From amsoft@epix.net Sat Jul 06 13:45:27 1996 From: "Kathryn J.

We need to receive critical business data from Galaxy 4 on KU-band. The vendor wants to install a 1.2 meter dish. I'm sure that a good ole Missouri thunderstorm will kill the signal occasionally. If we installed a larger dish (3 meter?), would the additional gain prevent at least some of the weather fade? Is there a point of diminishing return on dish size? Thanks in advance for the help...

They now use multiple uplink frequencies and don't favor any particular one, making a contact just about impossible, I have very mixed feelings about this new policy. Anyway, here are the freq's you requested and good luck to you. I should clarify, the crew of STS-78 are very active on the SAREX, it's just that "I" have not been able to make a contact or choose the correct uplink freq on any pass thus far.

It was VERY BRIGHT, and it seemed like it was at about 80 degrees, even though the tracking software said it was at 59 degrees. If you have never seen the Shuttle, DO IT! It is a great experience and you will not forget it. I have seen the Shuttle and Mir about 5 or 6 times and they are all like the first time - AWESOME!

There were about 10 Hams looking for it here in Albuquerque, New Mexico (It is nice to have an "on the air" search party using Amateur Radio so we can all look out for each other). It was supposed to be visible at 22.0 degrees (NNE), at an elevation of 40.4 degrees (Information from NASA). One Ham was seeing where the Shuttle was on the web. It would update itself every couple minutes. Well, we all heard the sonic boom (Loud outside Albuquerque, muffled inside the city) when the Shuttle was over Utah. Wonder if NASA's tracking display on the Internet was slow, or delayed. Anyway, we all heard the sonic boom from STS-78! Sure wanted to see it, but there were some clouds in the way that probably covered it up. We will catch it on the next mission! 73, Brian, N5ZGT _________________________________________________________________________ Boy Scouts of America Amateur Radio - N5ZGT JASM -Troop 41 ARRL QRP: NorCal# 1700 Albuquerque, N.M.

Got off the freeway at 5 AM and found a school grounds area in a residential neighborhood in San Ramon NE of San Francisco. Was hoping that it didn't get waved off on the first attempt but didn't know for sure. There it was low on the horizon right on time! Bright and pinkish-red going across the sky with a plasma trail behind. It started in the western sky where it was dark enough to see some stars and so was more spectacular at the beginning of the arc but it could easily be seen until low on the eastern horizon. This was my first Shuttle re-entry sighting. In all the excitement, I forgot to listen for a sonic boom and didn't hear anything. Did some sightseeing in No. Calif. and just got back Mon. evening.

During shuttle missions there are many NASA audio retransmissions by hams, most notably the Goddard Spaceflight Center's WA3NAN amateur radio club on various shortwave frequencies. But that's only during shuttle missions. You don't need a couple of thousand dollars for a true satellite receiver -- especially if you're a real ham. If you've got mechanical skills, can crimp a couple of cables together, and if you know how to bargain for old junk equipment (all imporant skills for hams) then you can put together your own satellite dish. A scrounged satellite dish can be put together for anywhere from almost nothing to a couple of hundred dollars. My particular setup cost $500, and that's only because I wanted a descrambler and a new receiver. Old systems and components can be had for a song or less. There's an excellent document "The Scrounger's Guide to TVRO" which you can get via the Robert Smathers web site http://www.nmia.com/~roberts/ and go to the icon "Gary's information files".

ARRL does it for training purposes although technically it is illegal.

The best is surely out there..! It's LogSat for Windows. Check out the home page at http://www.logsat.com You can download a demo or order the software online. You can track all the satellites you want in a single windows, and furthermore you can open as many windows as you want at the same time. It uses the KCT to interface with the rotor. There's a kazillion of other features, but the best description can be seen on the home page. There you'll also find fresh keps, separated by satellite type (amateur, weather, visible etc.), and moon keps for EME. Ciao de Roberto ik8sqi Paul S.

With the addition of a LNB downconverter, you might be able to receive satellite TV with a general coverage (VHF/UHF) receiver with a video adapter.

IMHO, its so far ahead of the rest in display, features (multiple satellites on same map, audio warning of satellite acquisition, etc) that there's absolutely NO CONTEST.

First, a quick summary of the equipment - A Kenwood HF rig using a Force 12 C-4 beam antenna as the downlink, and an Icom 2m all-mode into a 13 element beam as the uplink. Both beams are mounted on the same tower, the 2m antenna being a few feet above the HF beam, and both are horizontal (not inclined above the horizon, that is.) Both beams perform quite well for terrestrial QSOs. I can hear RS-10 just fine. Every pass I can hear the CW beacon, and on the reasonably good passes, I can hear other ops in QSO. But when I try to transmit and find my own downlink, I will hear something, but it always seems to have the following happen: 1) If I take the 2m frequency and divide it by the 10m frequency, it always comes out to about 4.996. 2) The signal is unintelligible unless I transmit on the lower sideband. The latter one may be explained by the fact that you maybe I should transmit on lower sideband? I've never been sure about this. But the first one, coupled with the fact that occasionally I can hear this long after the bird should have been long gone, seems to indicate to me that maybe I'm hearing my own fifth harmonic. So, 1) do I transmit on LSB or USB? and 2) how do I tell whether or not I'm hearing my own harmonic or a real downlink? I know the antennas are probably not optimal for satellite work, but it's what the club's got :-) -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Kenneth E.

X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.7 Xref: news2.epix.net rec.radio.amateur.antenna:23332 rec.radio.amateur.space:7348 A new Helix Antenna design for the Mars Observer Experiment During the last few weeks, I've attempted to optimize a low cost Helix antenna design suitable for detecting the Mars Observer. Here are the characteristics and modeling results: Reflector Screen: NONE - A single 10.66" loop reflector is used which eliminates the cumbersome reflector screen Boom: 10 Foot length of 4" dia, thin wall PVC (normally used for tile). Weight is less than 5 Lbs and the cost is $3.50 (at Builder's Square) Helix: 23 Turns of 1/4" refrigerator copper tubing spaced 5.125" per turn. 55 Feet of tubing required at an approximate cost of $20. This design has a two step taper for the Helix Dia: Reflector Loop Dia: 10.66" First 4 Turns: 10.32" Next 7 Turns: 8.68" Last 12 Turns: 8.40" The reflector is positioned 0.375" ahead of the start point of the first helix turn. Helix Support: 1/2" PVC tubing used as stubs which are glued in the 4" boom with a spacing of 2.5625" FeedPoint: 50 Ohm at <1.2 VSWR. No matching network required. Gain: 15.9 dBci (approximately 1 to 1.5 dB better than the standard Helix antennas I have modeled) Pattern: First Side lobes at 36 degrees down 14 dB Average of all remaining sidelobes <25 dB Bandwidth: <0.2 dB variability from 432 to 438 Mhz 50 Ohm Match at <1.2 VSWR from 432 to 438 Mhz Construction accuracy: The Helix diameter, especially the first 4 turns needs to be held to a +/- 0.125" tolerance to keep the gain within 0.5 dB. Estimated Total Cost: <$30 Two of these antennas provide 18.9 dBci gain which could be enough for detection of the Mars Observer. Four would provide a nice margin at 21.9 dBci. The pattern/image plots and the AO-PRO input file are available from my webpage. Additional pictures and sketches will be posted as construction proceeds. The webpage adr is: http://www.webcom.com/af9y I would be happy to model any other helix designs if you email me the dimensions. I'll give any standard reflector screen designs the benefit of a perfect reflector surface.

It's better to use a simple groundplane for 2m and an output power of 25..100 watt PEP. For receiving I would recommend to have a 10m dipol or a 10m groundplane available too. Especially when the sat is flying overhead then you will have big troubles to copy any signal with a good (!) beam or a good (!) quad. And last not least: the common phone mode via all RS's is USB on the up- and downlink frequency! Good luck .. 73 de Waldemar, DK3VN -- E-Mail: wkebsch.pad@sni.de .. or ..

In fact, the gain was over 1 dB higher than the model predicted. I will continue using the gain shown by AO for all Mars Observer link caculations. I found that the GaAs Fet preamp used in my last series of receive test had a poor solder joint in the front end which resulted in a much higher NF than the 0.5 stated. I reran the receive test and also factored in the new receive levels expected from the Mars Observer. The results were very encouraging. A -173 dBm signal level in a 100 deg K system produces an excellent trace using the 16x integration mode of FFTDSP. At this setting, the update rate is once every 8 seconds. A full screen will require only 30 minutes. Assuming 0.5 dB coax/combiner loss, two 10ft antennas Helix antennas would provide 18 dBic. With the new receive levels, I think this system would provide an excellent chance of detection. In fact, just two 5 ft Helix should be enough for detection. With the 16x integration mode, Doppler Chirp correction will not be necessary. At that integration mode, the display trace will have a slope showing the Doppler Chirp which should help confirm that it is from the Mars Observer. A 30 minute period will fill the screen and the trace will show a linear slope of aprox 100 Hz.

I believe you shouldn't rule out the use of a computer at the site. A 286 should do the job just fine and cost next to nothing (don't need a color monitor,a printer, or a mouse.) I'm surprised that there haven't been more articles posted on this subject. A gateway would be a good way to generate more interest in the Hamsats. A setup that could be used from a mobile or talkie would be a lot of fun. Let me know if you get some email on this subject. I could use any info that comes in.
