- 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.

- 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.

- 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.
