Date: Mon, 01 Jul 1996 13:14:21 -0700
Message-ID: <[e-mail]>

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

The last information I received for AO-27 was this.

When the satellite enters sunlight area, it waits approx 20 minutes,
then the repeater turns on. It is on for only 18 minutes and turns off.

This is true for both Northern and Southern hemisphere.
I have tried to work this satellite before it developed problems and
could be heard on it in most of the U.S. and Canada.

I have yet to have a qso with enough information for qsl though.
Keep trying, it is there and working.... ..

Having borrowed some nice equipment, FT-736r and FT-900 transceivers,
I have been working the RS-10 & RS-15 satellites rather regular. The
only sad part is the 06:00utc passes, I end up performing antenna and
signal tests only as there are not other stations on during this time
period. Too bad some of our stations in the satellite service do not
operate there stations in robot mode and in c.w.=20

Using omni directional antenna for both the uplink and downlink and
power levels down to one watt on s.s.b. I have worked several stations
on these two satellites with ease.=20

If you have not tried this, and you have a ten meteres transceiver or
receiver, listen for the RS-10 beacon signal, 20 wpm c.w., on 29.358
and pf course that is =B1 doppler shift which is generally around 1.5 kcs=
=20
higher when the satellite is just coming over your horizon.

This isn't an amateur question, but I couldn't think of a better group
to find expertise in...

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...

Hi Jason,

Hope you have better luck than I have had in trying to contact STS-78,
I have tried for them on EVERY pass since launch, no luck.  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.

HAM's on board are:

Susan Helms  KC7NHZ
Charles Brady  N4BQW
Robert Thirsk  VA3CSA

They will all answer a call for W5RRR

Worldwide FM voice downlink is 145.550
FM voice uplinks are 144.91 - 144.93 - 144.95 - 144.97 - 144.99MHz
FM voice uplinks (Europe only)  144.70 - 144.75 - 144.80MHz
Packet Radio Downlink 145.55MHz
Packet Radio Uplink  144.49MHz

Again, good luck and 73's

On NON-Mir docking missions such as the current STS-78, the shuttle
transmits on 145.550 worldwide.  The packet uplink (where YOU transmit)
is 144.490.  There are 5 voice uplinks: 144.91, .93, .95, .97 and .99.
144.95 makes the standard 600 kHz offset for older radios, but the
shuttle will listen to any or all... you just have to be "lucky!"

On Mir docking flights, which are VOICE ONLY... the shuttle transmits on
145.840.  There are 2 uplinks: 144.45 and 144.47.

Watch for bulletins on packet radio, or you can subscribe to a mailing
list at [e-mail] for more current info.

Good luck es 73,

Hello Everybody,
  This has nothing to do with Amateur Radio, but it is worth posting.
I saw Space Shuttle Columbia this morning! I woke up at 4:40 AM MDT,
and caught its 5:06 AM MDT pass over Albuquerque, New Mexico!
  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!
  Still haven't worked STS-78...I'll keep trying before time runs out.
Happy 4th of July, everybody!
Best of 73,
Brian, N5ZGT

can replace it. but mc145442(3) only can use 300 baud
(CCITT V.21 OR BELL 103).
who can tell me the alternative else?
and if i use MC145442(3), who can give the circuit design about it?

It's interesting to note the VOICE frequency list here.

According to the Southern California digital bandplan,
four of these are packet frequencies:

144.910   Keyboard
144.930   TCP/IP
144.950   Sarex
144.990   9600 Baud and Up...Experimental

(see http://www.ccnet.com/~rwilkins/socal.html)

Note the Sarex PACKET assignment of 144.950.  I can vouch for
the fact that 144.910 is used here as digital.  Since we are
making all this racket on those frequencies, the astronauts may
be inclined to listen elsewhere for voice contacts.  Hmmmmmm.

How many AM7910/11 are you looking for?
I may have an extra one you can have if there is any easy way

Hi Folks!
I am just getting into Satellites and would like to know where I get
either a manufactured one or PCB's for a Kansas City Tracker and any
relevant data for it.

Are they in a kit form or does one have to make up the thing from
scratch....


Many thanks, Robert.

Good Morning Everybody,
  Who saw or heard the Shuttle while it was re-entering to land? 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

Thanks for reading this, I am trying to setup a station capable of
receiving 1200 PSK downlinks, but I am unclear about the uplink
needed for the PSK sats.  Is the uplink identical to the AFSK used
in terrestrial systems (i.e. can I use my built-in TNC modem for
that) or do you HAVE to use the output from the PSK modem (a PSK-1
in my case).  I have not found a clear answer to this in what little
information I have been able to find on the subject.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I heard it...brother, did I *ever* hear it.  I was inside a building in Orland

It was *GREAT*!!!  :-]  :-)

hmmm, you know, if you can keep floating you probably could volunteer

Would save NASA a whole bunch of money if you could do microgravity
experiments just by picking up the mike. ....

Drove for 6 hrs. from LA area to get a good view.  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.  I hope to see more Shuttle re-entries, maybe from
Baja California.

Jake in Calif.

The orbiter is pretty long, as supersonic things go.  There are always
shock waves from both the nose and the tail of a supersonic aircraft,
and the waves are far enough apart in the Shuttle's case for your ears
to hear them as separate sounds.  It's more of a "ba-boom" than a "boom,
boom" noise.

I've seen this phenomenon described as a smoke trail, a condensation
trail, and a plasma trail.  Having seen it a couple of times myself,
what I want to know now is -- exactly what the heck is it?

Of course it also depends on where you are w.r.t. the passing aircraft.

I was on the Edwards AFB shuttle viewing site during a landing in 1989,
and as far as I remember the two booms were quite separate (and *very loud*)
when the shuttle passed over the base before the turn-around and
subsequent landing.  Very spectacular!

Dear Dan,

I do not know anything about the above.
But I would like to.
Is this something send from space ?
I would like to know what freq's and other data.

Not a general coverage receiver.  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".   Excellent information.

demonstration for my 13-year old nephew who's kinda interested in Amateur
Radio.

        My QTH is FN54 (MidCoast Maine) and I'd like to know when 10
meters will come alive with downlink activity, say within the next two
weeks. I will be grateful to receive a list of times, preferably eveings
when I'm home from work.

        Pls email me directly as I do not read this list.  Mny tnx.

Brad, there is no fast scan amateur satellite activity that I know of. As
to using an amateur satellite for broadcasting... broadcasting is not one
of the amateur privileges. We are allowed to communicate, control, relay,
etc., but not to broadcast. ARRL does it for training purposes although
technically it is illegal.

I have a question... Is there a consensus as to what is the best (feature,
price, etc.) satellite tracking program available (PC or Mac)?  I've been
using WinOrbit (shareware) and it does a reasonable job, but it does lack
a few features such as tracking multiple satellites in the same window and
the ability to interface with an antenna Az/El controller.

If anyone out there is using one or has an opinion as to which one is
best, I would certainly be interested in your opinion.

Thanks!

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.

Hi DAn

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.  You might ask on rec.video.satellite.tvro for more info.

I hav tried WinSat, WinOrbit, WISP, and LogSat Professional for Windows and
find the last the best.  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.  I would recommend it
most highly.  Check out their web site at www.logsat.com!!

Does anyone know what plans (if any) exist for handling the epoch field
in keplerian elements sets after 1999 ?

For example, the epoch is usually given as something like:
    96190.12345    for day 190 of 1996

Will this become
    00190.12345    for day 190 of 2000
   100190.12345
or something completely different ?

     I've been trying to work RS-10 for a while now from the University of
Texas Amateur Radio Club station (W5EHM), and I have a few questions.
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
:-)

Hello all,   I have put up a couple of crossed yagis for satellite use.
They are 2X9 ele for 2 meters and a 2X19 ele for 70cms, both are Tonna
antennas.

I have them mounted, horizontally to a 2 meter aluminium cross boom at
a fixed 15' elevation.

Could someone please tell me how to mount these antennas in the
X configuration

If they cant be fitted in the X config, does anyone know where I can get
a fibreglass cross boom, or is it not worth the bother?

Thanks for your time.

      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. (very time consuming to model
a real screen)

Hi Ken,

huuuugh .. something is complete wrong here ... :->)

Tell me, how you can hear the fifth harmonic of your 2m signal on 10m? :-)

Anyhow; if you want to use your 2m yagi and you don't have an elevation rotor,
then you can't expect good results via RS-10. 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

Big antennas, high in the sky, are better than small ones, low!          [b9h]

         Helix Antenna Gain Meas and New Receive Tests

The test of the 5 foot, no-screen helix prototype at Central States
was most positive. 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.

Full details and pictures of the receive test results and the helix
design are available from my webpage at http://www.webcom.com/af9y

None of the above.

The system is defined with 24 (there are more right now) birds in four
different orbit planes all of which are at a 55 degree inclination.  They are
out at about 11,000 miles and thus have about a 12 hour period

Your 10m receiver front end is being overloaded by the 2m uplink. A good
HF low pass filter connected to the 10m receiver will reduce the problem.

Hi Dave,

Could you be a bit more specific?  I was unaware that a "repeater" was
even aboard the MIR.  I know that they carry an ICOM mobile 2m radio
for phone and packet, but their having an actual repeater onboard is
big news!  Could you pass along the output freq and offset for those
of us who are obviously MIR news challenged.  And here I thought I was
keeping on top of space stuff..

To operate in repeater mode you need:


     downlink: 437.950 MHz
     uplink:   435.750 MHz with 141.3 Hz CTCSS
     ID:       RR0DL Repeater

Please also check 437.925 MHz for the beacon (voice recorder).


This next week the Beacon wl be on - so take a listen -

The doppler is  [ + &  - ] 10 kc's - so program your rig
for this -

I have wrked the repeater with 25 watts and 35 elms

I have NOT been able to work this with a mobile rig
and a 5/8's wave , even on a 75 deg pass -


Rember MIRa moves very fast across the Earth - so make your
contacts as short as you can.

Dave, I would like to set up a satellite gateway too. 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.

Anyone using LogSat with Antenna control other than Kansas City Tracker?

I am interested in using the program, but don't know whether The KCT will
be my choice of tracking hardware. LogSat supports KCT, but I haven't found
any reference to other hardware compatability in the documentation.

I would stay away from NOVA. When it comes time for an update they
will change the name and you must pay full price!
Try LOGSAT PRO. It is a great program and has free updates on the net.
Just want to keep others from making the NOVA mistake like I did!

  If you are using your registered version of NOVA for DOS, and you wish
to change to NOVA for WINDOWS/95?, which are new programs for
what are essentially different operating systems, NOT UPDATES, I
will purchase your  DOS version that you are unhappy with if we can
agree on a price.

coordinator for AMSAT in Central Calif!  Congrats!  Cliff K7RR ex W6HDO
