DOVE VOICE TESTING STATUS
HR AMSAT NEWS SERVICE BULLETIN 162.01 FROM AMSAT HQ
SILVER SPRING, MD JUNE 11, 1994
TO ALL RADIO AMATEURS BT
BID: $ANS-162.01
DOVE-OSCAR-17 (DOVE) Voice Synthesizer Testing Continues
At about 11-JUNE-94 05:30 UTC the DOVE Ground Command Team completed a
reload of the DOVE software and activated another voice test. The pro-
nunciation of the word "Hi" is a bit different and the overall amplitude of
the voice is higher. The text message is a greeting to those attending the
ARRL Convention and Education Forum.
The DOVE Ground Command Team expects to continue the hardware testing pro-
cess while simultaneously proceeding with software development. It is
expected that this effort will probably last several days to a few weeks
before all the testing and software developement is completed. There may
be times when the voice message will not be heard due to uploading of new
software.
It would be appreciate if reports on how well the voice can be heard with
simple receiving equipment (a H/T with a rubber duck antenna) could be sent
to any of the following individuals who have mail address on INTERNET:
WJ9F@amsat.org
PY2BJO@amsat.org
WD0E@amsat.org
VK7ZBX@amsat.org
N5AHD@amsat.org
Telemetry is not needed at this time.

IO-26 STATUS REPORT

ITAMSAT-OSCAR-26 (IO-26) Status Report
After a couple of weeks of being in the stand-by mode, IO-26, under ground
command, was switched back ON. A new MBL code was successfully loaded to
test the modified s/c configuration (secondary TX on). Telemetry shows all
the vital parameters in nominal status. Further tests will be carried out
in the next days. Also due to the very limited time budget of the command
stations please expect a few weeks before normal operations.
[The AMSAT News Service (ANS) would like to thank Alberto Zagni (I2KBD)
for this bulletin item.]

LO-19: LO-19 is on the air but only telemetry is being sent and there are
are no BBS functions operational. [WH6I]
KO-23: This bird and KO-25 are very busy at the present time with message
and file traffic. There have been a lot of new earth imaging
files available for down loading on both birds. The file
KAIW008D gives a good image of the Italian penninsula in the Med.
There is also a steady stream of WISP files as ZL2TPO keeps the
his programing modifications coming. Also, the program WISP can
also be found on the BBS. [WH6I]
AO-16: AO-16 is running strong, the only 1200 baud bird in operation at the
present time. [WH6I]
IO-26: IO-26 is sending telemtry, but the BBS is not yet on. [WH6I]
The AMSAT NEWS Service (ANS) is looking for volunteers to contribute weekly
OSCAR status reports. If you have a favorite OSCAR which you work on a
regular basis and would like to contribute to this bulletin, please send
your observations to WD0HHU at his CompuServe address of 70524,2272, on
INTERNET at wd0hhu@amsat.org, or to his local packet BBS in the Denver, CO
area, WD0HHU @ W0LJF.#NECO.CO.USA.NOAM. Also, if you find that the current
set of orbital elements are not generating the correct AOS/LOS times at
your QTH, PLEASE INCLUDE THAT INFORMATION AS WELL. The information you
provide will be of value to all OSCAR enthusiasts.
