Where can I find a list of operational amature radio birds.
A few years ago i uplinked to one, it was 144 up and 440 down. Is this bird
still alive ?
Is it possible to uplink to a bird and send a email message to it that will be
downloaded to the net later ?
Thanks for any info
Fred

I was trying to test a mode S converter I build up from Down East Micro wave.
Since I dont have any microwave test equipment I thought I woud just try to
hear the 2400.664 Mhz beacon of AO13. But alas Ididn't...Before I start
digging into the converter can anyone tell me if I should ahve heard the
beacon on Sunday Morning 16:00 - 1800 Z. Iv'e heard that satellite attitude
can be issue...
Does anyone hav e experience with the downeast microwave converters?

ARLS007 SAREX STS-70 postponed
Space Shuttle Mission STS-70, which is scheduled to carry the
Shuttle Amateur Radio EXperiment, has been postponed. Mission
managers have decided to repair damage done by woodpeckers in the
foam insulation of the external fuel tank. The foam prevents ice
from building up on the tank. The repairs will be done at the
shuttle Vehicle Assembly Building, requiring the Space Shuttle
Discovery to be removed from the launch pad during the week. The
mission may be rescheduled for sometime in August.
Mission STS-71, which will also carry the Shuttle Amateur Radio
EXperiment, is still scheduled for no earlier than June 22.
Following a Flight Readiness Review last Friday, mission managers
decided not to select an official launch date due to ongoing work
aboard the Russian Mir Space Station that needs to be completed
prior to the Space Shuttle Atlantis' rendezvous and docking. The
launch team at the Kennedy Space Center will continue vehicle
processing work so that Atlantis will be ready for launch anytime on
or after June 22. An official launch date is expected to be
announced in about one week.
Thanks to SAREX Working Group member Matthew Bordelon, KC5BTL, at
NASA Johnson Space Center and the Kennedy Space Center Public
Affairs Office for the preceding information. For more information

I have not been able to get my Kansas City Tracker Tuner set up to operate
properly with the Nova 1.0 software. The tracker part works fine but I get
nothing from the tuner part. I know fom the KC test program that the tuner is
communicating properly with my Yaesu 736.
I would like to see what bat file you use to run the KC TSR's ... Or maybe
there is something else I am overlooking. The tuning worked fine with an
external serial adapter using the direct mode in Nova, but no luck so far with
the TSR mode..
Any sugesstions would be appreciated.

I would appreciate any help on demodulating satellite signals. I'm
particularly interested in receiving ir images. Unfortunately, I don't
know where to look for the information on receiving the signal and
translating using a PC or Mac. Any ideas would be enthusiastically

might i ask of which sats? it sounds like you are interested in WeSats...
look around on HAMRADIO ftp sites for "JVFAX??.zip" and "HAMCOMM??.zip"
the jvfax is a sstv/fax program i use <although i haven't got a quality pic
outta it yet from NOAA sats> and hamcomm has the stematic <sp?> for the
interface from ur radio to computer
have fun! ;-)

Satellite Tracking by Feedback
Since I started this thread I have been thinking - taking account of the
various (public and private) responses to my original half-baked idea of
tracking satellites by feedback without the use of ancilliary antennas.
I thought I had invented conical scanning - ah well that's how it goes.
What about this: I have seen a Victorian gyroscopic toy where a flywheel,
gimbal-mounted about 6 inches above a base-board, has a non-rotating stylus
rod like a knitting needle attached to the gimbal frame, co-axial with the
flywheel axis. This projects downward to the baseboard, on which there is a
raised irregular shape such as a complicated jigsaw puzzle piece or a maze.
The stylus can swing to touch the side of this shape. When the flywheel is
spinning the stylus uncannily follows the edge of the shape as if it were
intelligent. I think it relies the fact that when a gyroscope is nudged
one way it moves off 'willingly' at right-angles. In this way, the stylus
remains in contact with the profile of the shape and traces its way around
the periphery - be it concave or convex.
It seems to me that this principle could be used to: make a conical scanning
tracking dish; overcome some of the objections based on fading; and at the
same time remove the need for any rotators.
My proposal is this. First the basic idea, followed by some thoughts
on the practical side:
The feed-horn would be on the axis of spin but would not spin. The dish
itself would double as the gyroscope flywheel and be of such a shape that it
aimed the signal at a constant angle off-axis (really we are talking about
reception here of course). This would produce a conical scan. The signal
strength around the conical scan is memorised and used by a computer
program to determine the direction the dish must be tilted next. If the
dish spin speed is fast enough there would not be much time for fading to
occur. Up to 8 revs/sec seems quite realistic (see below)
Now some thoughts on the practicalities: First the dish/flywheel. As
described above the dish would have to wobble. Indeed to produce conical
scanning it must wobble in a radio sense - but as a flywheel it must run
true. Balance weights could be added to give it a symmetrical moment of
inertia. But it would still waft a lot of air around.
I don't know if the following idea is sound so I would welcome comments:
First imagine a convential 30 inch dish embedded skew fashion in a
cylindrical flywheel of expanded polystyrene. This would still need
balancing weights. Is styrofoam transparent to typical dish freqencies?
- if so the balancing problem can be reduced by using instead of the
embedded conventional dish a layer of metal foil pasted to one half of a
styrofoam block (cast on a readymade dish) before pouring the other half on
to it. The dish no longer needs to be strong in its own right because its
shape is maintained by the styrofoam sandwich. So far so good if styrofoam
is radio-transparent (I have seen photographs of dishes on mountains said
to be unaffected by a covering of snow - but don't know the frequencies)
So we now have a styrofoam flywheel say about 9 inches deep and 30 inches
diameter. This might need its outer 9 inch high edge skinning with a
heavy-ish insulator - say fibre-glass, to increase its swing weight.
This flywheel can be screwed to a face-plate attached to the shaft of an
electric motor, balanced up, and mounted in suitable gimbal frames.
Speeds: 500 rpm is approximately the speed of a motor-car wheel travelling
at 40 mph, so that does not seem to be an unreasonable speed.
500 rpm is approx one rev in 125 msecs. Does significant signal strength
fading occur in that time interval? I suspect not (but I am a newby) - if
not - slower revs might be adequate.
The attractive feature of this scheme (if there is no fundamental flaw in
the idea) is that gentle 'nudges' (applied by solenoids) in appropriate
directions should cause the flywheel/dish (+ horn) to swing 'willingly' in
the desired direction. The feedback system would be designed to maintain
constant signal strength throughout the rotation, but for much of the time
there would be a flywheel-speed fluctuation in signal strength which may
not be acceptable.
A spherical or parabolic dish shape would probably be good enough, although
not the theoretically correct shape for use with an off-centre feed horn.
I should add that my original idea was not to track satellites in the sense
of determining their actual orbits, nor to find a method of tracking
satellites that would not rival top-of-the-range antenna arrays accurately
aimed by prediction, but to find something cheap that would perform better
than stationary egg-beaters, turn-styles, whips, etc on the other hand.
Ie, something to fill the gap between the two extremes. So I am assuming
a situation where the signal is pretty good, and where my system would be
good enough if it could just 'slop it around' within 20 degrees or so of
the true direction
At my time of life I am not aiming to develop a this as commercial product.
So (in what, as a newby, I understand is the spirit of the hobby) I hearby
declare that I claim no proprietory rights in this idea, and donate it as
a sort of gift (for what it is worth, and be made to work) to the amateur
radio fraternity. Equally I disown any liability for spinning flywheels
bounding across rooftops, etc! On the other hand if anyone should want to
call it the 'G7UPH gyro dish' I have no objection. But I would not deserve
it because, apart from some simple experiments with bicycle wheels, I have
not yet built one, let alone made it work!

I don't remember where, but I heard that is possible to calculate complete
element set by recording doppler shift during 3 consecutive pass.

Yeah. I got to play with InstantTrak a little this weekend, I am certain I'll
buy that if I ever get a *real* computer to run it on!! :-)

Well I did, by buying two versions of Winsat. I should have known better
from the looks of Traksat 3.0 but I gave him two chances anyway. Nowadays
I use Traksat 2.80 and figure its the last good one. I even talked with
him on the phone about the major problems and interface changes. He kinda
said, "Well, you can't please everybody!".
Is Traksat 3.1 worth looking at?

Many thanks....I'll give it a try ! I forgot (or didn't know) that
source code was included...a natural invitation for me to "play" !!! :-)
> The orbit numbers for the shuttle are somewhat tricky because it seems that
Not really interested in the Shuttle.....I'm more into the NOAA polar
orbiters. I file the raw APT data files with the orbit number, and
generate a caption on the final GIFs with that and the time/date
information included. Right now I am using a DOS program, which means I
have to enter the number manually as the prediction table I get doesn't
include it.
I'll keep that bit about the TLEs in mind, though, when there's a
high-inclination mission. Normally I get the TLEs from Dr. T.S. Kelso,
and they're in NORAD format.
Thanks again for the comeback.

I know this is not the swap area, but have some items for sale which may
be of interest to satelite operators so I am listing them here.
First I have a SSB 2000/01 mast mounted downconverter. This is the one
with 30+ dB of conversion gain. This unit works excellant with the new
Myers Mode S antenna I also have for sale. Both are less than 1 month old
and neither has been in the weather. I want $375.00 for the
downconverter (current price is $459.00) and $50.00 for the antenna.
These prices are shipped in the 48 states. I will take $400.00 for both.
I also have a Mirage D-3010 for sale. It is also less than 1 month old
and in new condition. I will take $250.00 for it shipped.
You can reach me at (803) 356-0769 or via e-mail. I will except a money
order or cashiers check or I can ship COD if you are willing to pay the
COD charges.
Thanks and 73,
Greg Snellgrove, KN4NO

If yopur looking for Jupiter on 26 Mhz just about any general coverage
shortwave receiver will work...You may want to add a preamp and a directional
antenna to point at jupiter. A Jupiter-io transmission sounds like a big wave
crashing on the beach..
There was an artile inQST a few months back I think...Tweo guys tried to
listen to the comet crash....There is a description of their equipment in the
article.

What you have is a Global Positioning System modual. It sounds
very simalar to one that a friend has. That unrecognizable junk that
you are recieveing is in fact GPS data. The problem with the Rockwell
units is they use proprietary software that has a nonstandard data
format. The GPS unit can be set to standardized positioning formats
that programs like APRS can understand. It is although a bit tricky
even with the manuals that go with the unit. This is about all I can
tell you without actually having documentation in front of me. I hope
it helps.

If you re-post this question to sci.geo.satellite-nav you'll probably find

Hi David,
the program "JVFAX7.0" is a good suggestion as its freeware and works
fine. But you`ll never get a NOAA (or any other Wesat-) picture with
the simple Hamcom-modem, as the modulation is AM.
For wefax and sstv on shortwave you can work with an Hamcom-modem as
this is FM, although the pictures are poor quality. I recommend a
better interface, you`ll see significant improvement.

There have been some recent postings regarding where to obtain satellite
tracking software. The best source that I know of is AMSAT at (301)589-6062.
There is a FAX number also: (301)608-3410.
AMSAT membership can be obtained at the same numbers and will include
discounts on the software. When I joined there was some shareware included
with the membership package. A lot of information on how to use the birds
comes with the membership package plus all profits go toward building
and launching more satellites.

I've been searching the amateur catalogs for elevation rotators but so far
I've only found the two from Yaesu: G-500A (El only) for $309 and G-5400B
(Az/El) for $589. These prices seem a little steep and I thought that
there would be more choices than that. Does anyone know of any other
manufacturers or sellers of elevation rotators, especially
lighter-duty/lower-cost units?

Look for rotators from Alliance, the U-100 or the U-110. Amateur Electronic
Supply used to have them and they are pretty common at hamfests. They used
to cost about $70 new. I've been using one for 6 years or so, with a KLM40CX
and a Cushcraft 20 el crossed yagi for AO-10 & 13 and they work great.
You have to make sure your antenna load is balanced, and they don't lend
themselves to computer control, but the price is right.

Lee,
Many sat-ops use a rotor from Alliance. This is a standard TV antenna
type rotor with the unique feature that the mast can slip thru the rotor.
Many hams have taken to mounting them horizontally in this manner for
elevation control. The rotor costs about $ 100 new. It must be protected
from water when mounted like this so you should ask around but it has
been a very popular low-cost method for elevation control. Most of the
satellite publications (how to get started, etc.) mention this rotor by
part number and detail how to protect it.
Good luck, 73

I have found the Alliance style rotor here is Phoenix for $70 at a certain large

I was reading the literature about the ST-1 that AEA sent me and it
talks about using the parallel and serial port's to talk to the computer.
On the parallel port do you need a bi-directional port? Or does it just go
one way, out? Like for printers. I can't imagine that you would need the
parallel port because there is so much information to pass. Thanks in
advance.

I have a question about the pro/con of stacking sat. antennas.
I have heard people talk about stacking 2m and 70cm antennas 2 ways,
as i'll attempt to diagram below
70cm 2m
| |
+------------rotor-------------+
| |
70cm 2m
OR
2m------------70cm----rotor----70cm----------2m
Is there any pro/con over these 2ways?
What is the proper spacing of the 2m/70cm antennas for both means?
Thanks for any feedback

* MAYDAY TRAFFIC PASSED ON AO-16 *
==================================
Troy, ZL1UOP, recently passed a MAYDAY message received from Salomon Atoll,
Chagos Archipelago, in the Indian Ocean. The message, dated 31-May-95 at
17:37 UTC, read as follows:
Vessel G, a small fishing vessel called mayday. Drifting close to south
Salomon Atoll. Vessel G has three person on board and has lost its Mother
Ship TALBOE 3. The Talbo 3 is Mauritius registered. Communication with
Vessel G, Have ceased and a Hand Held Flare has been seen.
Contact With Deago Garcia is required. Please contact a Rescue center
and pass this information on. Deago Garcia can contact us on 2182 KHz.
Mark Shepherd, ZL1TRE of Auckland, New Zealand, picked up the message and
quickly pass it on to Search & Rescue in Wellington. Graeme, VK2ZIS, of
Port Macquarie, Australia also picked up the message and passed it along
to the Australian Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre. Terry, ZL2AHK,
in New Zealand passed message to the Honolulu Rescue Center.
On 01-Jun-95 at 06:05 UTC, Troy, ZL1UOP posted the following message as
a follow-up to his original MAYDAY traffic relay:
To : ALL
From: ZL1UOP
Time: 060551UTC
Date: 01 Jun 1995
-----------------
Hello, If you have replied to the Mayday, Many thanks for helping.
We have managed to contact Deago Garcia (14 hours late). The Fishermen
were rescued by the Mother ship early this morning. Today 4 boats came
from the mother ship and thanked us for our Help etc....
Sorry if I have caused any inconvenience, but Communication with Deago
Garcia (a major US Naval base 100 nmls away) is difficult from here.
Bye Bye.... Troy ZL1UOP@AO16,LO19 6s 73e

* NEW STS LAUNCH DATES SET *
============================
NASA mangers have set new target launch dates for two Shuttle missions
scheduled to fly this summer. Space Shuttle Discovery on Mission STS-70
is now targeted for launch on July 13 and Space Shuttle Endeavour is set
to be launched on Mission STS-69 on July 30.
The new flight dates for Discovery and Endeavour have no impact to the
processing work on Space Shuttle Atlantis being prepared for the STS-71
launch on the first Shuttle-Mir docking mission. The Atlantis launch
remains planned for no earlier than June 22 and a firm launch date may be
announced early next week.
The new target launch dates for Discovery and Endeavour were established
after the launch team finished assessing the impact of last week's decision
to roll Discovery off Launch Pad 39-B. The rollback was required in order
to make repairs to the foam insulation on the external tank.

* STS-71 MISSION PROFILE *
==========================
The following describes the nominal mission orbit profile for STS-71. This
is an historic mission in that it represents the first docking of the U.S.
Space Shuttle with the Russian Mir Space Station. During this mission
there will be a crew change and the crew returning to Earth on the Shuttle
will be different from the original crew.
The scheduled launch time is 24-Jun-95 / 20:42:50 UTC.
The mission will have a 51.6 degree orbital inclination.
The orbits for STS-71 are provided in time-independent Earth-Fixed Greenwich
(EFG -- a.k.a TDR) position and velocity state vectors. The mean Keplerian
Two-Line Elements (TLEs) may be computed from these vectors using the
VEC2TLE or V2KEP software (versions 9435 required). Since the vectors are
time-independent, the only variable is the launch date and time for STS-71
(see scheduled time above). The launch date/time must be entered into
VEC2TLE as a reference time for the vectors, which have time referenced
in Mission Elapsed Time (MET). Launch time may be changed/updated as
necessary using VEC2TLE.
The VEC2TLE and V2KEP software is available from AMSAT-NA. VEC2TLE is
available from several places including a few Internet ftp sites, private
BBSs, and on CompuServe.
Below are the reference times and events associated with the STS-71 state
vectors. All events in this mission profile represent significant orbit
changes caused by a thruster firing. Therefore, each vector should be used
only up to the time of the next vector.
Vector # Time (MET) Rev Event Apogee (km) Perigee (km)
1 000/00:43:03.854 1 OMS-2 297 203
2 000/03:38:50.000 3 NC-1 410 294

Hi,
Does anyone know what is up with GMS-5? The c-elements say the bird is up
at about 159E. When the cutover happenned, it transmitted from GMS-4's location.
Is the data from the new bird being transmitted to the old one until it reaches
station?

Hi,
JVFAX 7.0 is great, but first of all, you need to construct
a decoder hardware. There are articles discussing the hardware
and software systems in the March,April 1995 issues of 73 magzine.

Is this bird working? Got a 10 meter loop on the roof (only few feet of
rg8, no preamp). Sweep the passband when orbitrack tells me to and I hear
nothing. I'm using keps that are only about 2 weeks old but suppose
program could be at fault. Hopefully someone can offer up some
suggestions or perhaps even give me dates and times of a couple of
upcoming passes (I'm in Gainesville, FL 29.57N,82.36W.) Thanks in
advance.

The original subject of this thread was 'satellite tracking by feedback'
-- that is, keeping the antenna pointed at the satellite by means of a
closed-loop feedback control system without requiring accurate predictions
of the satellite's position. Of course, if one can accurately predict the
satellite's position in the sky during a pass then a closed-loop tracking
system is not needed.
Accurate ephemeris data and satellite tracking/prediction programs are
readily available. The satellite data is updated regularly, primarily by
Air Force and Navy sensors, so an individual need not try to independently
determine the satellite's orbit except perhaps as an educational exercise.

The parallel port handles the communication between the computer and the ST-1.
The serial port talks to your radio to control its frequency.

Just wanted to add my 2 cents worth.... the St-1 is currently not directly
compatible with WISP. If you are using WISP for PACSATS, or if you plan to,
look at other trackers.... I have an ST-1 (collecting dust) and I have seen
many messages from other owners that have replaced them with other
trackers... The ST-1 is a good idea but it seems to be a poor implementation
and AEA appears to not be supporting it... On the other hand ... if you are
willing to dedicate a PC to operate in stand alone tracking mode with the
ST-1, I have heard that works... then with a second PC you can operate the
digital satellites... seems like a waste to me...
For me... I puchased a TRAKBOX from TAPR and after a minorinitial problem
with the CAT port (my fault) I have been very happy with it... I have also
heard good things about the Kansas City Tracker... but the best feature of
the TRAKBOX is that it doesn't tie up a slot or any ports on the PC... yes
you need a serial port and terminal emulator to set it up and to update the
keps ... but other then that it runs stand alone ... it is a good product
.... I have also seen some messages recently implying that there is a new
hardware implementation of TRAKBOX out .... but I do not have any facts
about that ... if anyone out there knows... please drop me a line ... Thanks...
73 & Good Luck with auto tracking....

The AEA PK-96 has both 1200 AFSK and 9600 FSK (G3RUH) modems in it. Should
work for all 9600 bps satellites.

I am currently using a KPC-9612 on the 9600 baud satellites. It work
very good. But, once in a while, the TNC will not transmit from WISP.
I see WISP ask for a file or fill, but the Xmit LED, and radio, don't
transmit. When I close WISP and go into a terminal program, the TNC
transmits.
I do set the TNC for the following:
maxusers 0/1
mydrop 1/0
int xkiss
Then I RESET the TNC.
When I go back into WISP, it still doesn't go into transmit. I fool
around with various parameters, and it start to work. But, I haven't
figured out the real fix yet.
And, trying different combinations during a pass is real fun. The only
way to test the TNC is with WISP during a pass. Is there anyway to get
WISP to transmit without a satellite?
So, does anyone have any ideas?

Notes
-----
1. NASA Catalog Number is also known as NORAD or U.S. Space Command object
number.
2. No orbital plane position = satellite no longer operational.
3. Clock: Rb = Rubidium; Cs = Cesium; PRN19 clock switched from Cs to Rb
between 94-10-16 and 94-10-19; PRN20 clock switched from Cs to Rb between
94-08-06 and 94-08-17; PRN31 clock switched from Cs to Rb on 95-01-18.
4. S/A had been enabled on Block II satellites during part of 1990; S/A off
between about 10 August 1990 and 1 July 1991 due to Gulf crisis; standard
level re-implemented on 15 November 1991; occasionally off for test and
other purposes. Currently, PRN15 and PRN28 appear to have little or no S/A
imposed.
5. Anti-spoofing was activated on 94-01-31 at 00:00 UT on all Block II
satellites (ref. NANU 050-94042); occasionally off for test and other
purposes. Anti-spoofing was turned off at 20:00 UT on 95-04-19 and back on
on 95-05-10. On 95-06-19, AS was again turned off.
6. PRN number of SVN32 was changed from 32 to 01 on 93-01-28.
7. PRN05 and PRN06 are equipped with corner-cube reflectors for satellite laser
ranging (SLR). SLR tracking of the satellites will permit onboard clock
errors and satellite ephemeris errors in GPS tracking to be differentiated.
8. The decommissioning date for PRN06/SVN03 is the date of termination of
operations of this satellite (ref. USNO) and is about 3 weeks later than the
date GPSIC gives for "deactivation".
9. The operational frequency standard of PRN32 was changed from a Cs to a Rb
between 95-05-03 and 95-05-12.
10. The operational frequency standard of PRN36 was changed from a Rb to a Cs
between 95-04-27 and 95-05-03.

Why YES IT WILL! But, they are using new freqs. for the docking missions.
uplinks are: 144.450 and 144.470. The downlink will be 145.840. They
will NOT favor one freq over the other, as always listen first.
Mir will stay on it's normal frequency.

Hello,
I need to know where I can obtain TRAKSAT; a program written by Paul Trauffer
of Huntsville, AL, for PCs. My brother needs it for an upcoming amateur
radio contest (thus the weird cross-posting), but unfortunately, the hard
drive on my PC is temporarily out to lunch, including, not only TRAKSAT
itself, but the listings of any BBS's I might have gotten it from...
It doesn't have to be a BBS; anonymous ftp sites are fine as well. And, if
you don't know where to find TRAKSAT, but know of a good satellite tracker
for DOS, I'll gladly take that information as well.
Please note: I don't have access to Usenet, and I'm using an email-to-Usenet
gateway to post this. So, please send replies directly to me instead of
to the group, or I won't see them. I will post a summary early next week.
Thanks in advance,

The most current orbital elements from the NORAD two-line element sets are
carried on the Celestial BBS, (334) 409-9280, and are updated daily (when
possible). Documentation and tracking software are also available on this
system. The Celestial BBS may be accessed 24 hours/day at speeds up to
14,400 bps using 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.
Element sets (also updated daily) and some documentation and software are
available via anonymous ftp from archive.afit.af.mil (129.92.1.66) in the
directory pub/space.
As a service to the satellite user community, the most current of these
elements are uploaded weekly to sci.space.news and rec.radio.amateur.space.
This week's elements are provided below.

I picked up a new or at least very new condition Alliance u-100 from
norms rotor service.
He is listed in several mags.
cost me a outlandish $45
I mean this is terible price I have seen old broke trashy ones at hamfests and
listed on here for $50.
By the way it worked and came with a warrenty.

ARLS008 SAREX launch on Friday
The Space Shuttle Atlantis is scheduled to launch on Friday, June 23
at 2108 UTC. The mission, designated STS-71, carries the Shuttle
Amateur Radio EXperiment or SAREX. Astronauts Ellen S. Baker and
Charlie Precourt are both Amateur Radio operators. Ellen previously
used ham radio from aboard the Shuttle Columbia during STS-50 in
June 1992, and her call sign is KB5SIX. Charlie is KB5YSQ and also
operated SAREX from Columbia during STS-55 in April 1993.
The crew has scheduled voice contacts with 4 school groups in the US
and one in Russia. The crew plans to make random contacts with the
Amateur Radio community as their busy schedules permit. Landing is
planned for July 4 at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
The crew will operate 2 meter FM voice only, using a radio which
will also facilitate a rendezvous and docking with the Russian Space
Station Mir. The docking is planned to occur on Monday, June 26. The
shuttle will carry two new Mir crew members (Mir 19) to the station,
and return to Earth with the three Mir 18 crew members (Vladimir
Dezhurov, Gennadiy Strekalov, and US astronaut Norm Thagard). This
mission is the first of at least seven shuttle flights to Mir. The
effort is a precursor to building the International Space Station.
Most of the SAREX activities are planned for after the Shuttle
separates from Mir on July 1. The following Keplerian element set,
JSC-008a, can be used to track the shuttle after the separation.

These elements are valid from post-separation on July 1 at 1449 UTC
until the deorbit burn on July 4 at 1454 UTC. Thanks to Gil Carman,
WA5NOM, at the NASA Johnson Space Center for the preceding element
set.
A different set of frequencies will be used for this SAREX mission.
The astronauts will operate split, transmitting and receiving on
separate frequencies. Please do not transmit on the shuttles
downlink frequency. The downlink is your receiving frequency. The
uplink is your transmitting frequency. The FM voice downlink is
145.84 MHz. The FM voice uplinks are 144.45 and 144.47 MHz. The crew
will not favor either uplink frequency, so your ability to
communicate with SAREX will be the luck of the draw. To avoid
causing interference to other stations transmit only when the
shuttle is within range and when the SAREX station is on the air.
Send reports and QSLs to the ARRL Educational Activities Department.
Include the mission number, date, time in UTC, frequency and mode in
your report. You must also include a self-addressed stamped
business-sized envelope if you wish to receive a card.

I will be driving it with a Yaseu 726. I have a real 28 volt power supply, (I have heard about tying two 12 volts together,
sounds like trouble.)

I have for sale an LL Grace DSP-12 DSP Modem. The DSP-12 is well known for
it's use on the digital pacsats. Modems include 9600 terrestrial/pacsat,
4800, 1200 for pacsat, 1200 for terrestrial packet, 300 packet hf, many rtty
modes, ascii, ao-13 telemetry decode, ACARS (aircraft telemetry), a signal
generator, digital voice recorder and more. There are three separate radio
ports, with separate ptt, tx, rx etc. so you can switch from one radio to
another via software. This is the only DSP modem with more than two ports.
The DSP-12 is compatible with WISP, PB/PG, SatLink for use with the pacsats.
It also has a KISS mode, and is TNC-2 compatible.
Included is the 1 meg memory option, cables, manuals and a complete DSP
development kit to write and compile your own modems.
The latest firmware is installed.
The unit works great, in fact it is now, and has been, tracking all of the
accessable digital amateur birds in orbit for the last couple of years. My
reason for selling is to generate money to pay off debts from my new
obsessions, photograhy and aviation.
I'm asking $550, which is about $250 less than my purchase price. I'll
ship ground freight. You can contact me at 817-240-1430 evenings, or
214-454-1448 days. A message to WA2N@AMSAT.ORG, or on Compuserve at
73055,1733 will work as well.

I run a 9612 with a FT-736r very successfully on KO-23, KO-25 and
UO-22. If you want a copy of my WISP.ini file I can e-mail it to you.
I had a bit of trouble getting going but now it is completely seamless.

Has LO-19 undergone a system crash? There was a message in
Spanish which also (i think) asked this question on one of the
9600 baud birds. For several nights, all I've heard on LO-19
is an unmodulated "carrier." (Didn't check last night, but that
was the case for several prior nights).
Anyone know for sure what's going on?
Please E-mail direct.

I recently purchased a used Alliance U-100 rotator without position indicator.
I need some help in building the power supply for rotator (schematic etc.)
and the position indicator. The 1995 ARRL Antenna Book provides a basic
schematic, but inaddition what I need is info regarding the rotor cable
hook-up and a source of supply for the single-turn, 1K (ohm) precision pot.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Ive been on RS-10 lately but not too
much activity, so thought I would try getting on the big birds like AO-10 and
AO-13.
Thanks in advance

I've built 3 quadrifilar helix antennas. They were for 144MHz, 443MHz and
1691 MHz.
These are the references that I found most useful:
Kilgus, C.C., "Multi-element Fractional Turn Helices," IEEE Trans.
Vol. AP-16, July 1968, pp 499-500
Kilgus, "Resoant Quadrifilar Helix Design," Microwave Journal, December
1970, pp 49-54
Bricker and Rickert "An S-Band Resonant Quadrifilar Antenna for Satellite
Communication," 1974 International IEEE AP-S Symposium Digest, pp 78-82
Kilgus, " Spacecraft and Ground Station Applications of the Resonant
Quadrifilar Helix," 1974 International IEEE AP-S Symposium Digest, pp 75-77
ARRL, "Spacecraft Antennas," Chapter 20, pp 20-1 to 20-7, ARRL Antenna
Book, 15th Edition, 1988
The two best articles are the Bricker and the ARRL.
Let me know if you don't have access to any of these or if you have any other
questions.

The following two references are of general interest to those
involved (or thinking of getting involved) in radio astronomy at
the amateur level. The first article is particularly valuable for
the home experimenter, while the second is more a "status of the
state of the art" at the professional level (interesting stuff,
though):
I. "My Radio Telescope" by Bob Drury (Alberta, Canada), Journal of
the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, Vol. 89, No. 2, April,
1995, pp. 72-80. (contact RASC at 136 DuPont Street, Toronto,
Ontario, Canada M5R 1V2. Single copies of the Journal are
available for $12.00)
At the age of 13, Bob Drury built a functional interferometer
radio telescope for operation at 19 MHz using two corner-reflector
antennas with dipoles as driven elements, a "ghetto blaster" with
shortwave coverage to 20 MHz as a receiver, and a Rustrak chart
recorder borrowed from the University of Alberta. Using this
*very* "homebrew" setup he successfully charted a number of
astronomical objects including Cygnus A.
This delightful article, written after Bob turned 14,
describes the trials of this young experimenter's efforts to
successfully enter the world of radio astronomy, from rabbits
nibbling on his coax to successfully modifying his receiver for
improved RF sensitivity and proper power combination from the two
antennas. If you're interested in how to get started, this article
is a *must* read!
BTW, young Bob is *not* a ham but is "learning electronics and
radio" as he goes along. From what the article says, he already
knows more about antennas, coax, and the insides of a receiver than
a great many hams.
II. Proceedings of the IEEE, Vol. 82, No. 5, May, 1994.
The entire issue is devoted to the subject of Radio
Telescopes, and features a total of eighteen articles. (Contact

Can anyone tell me where to get the absolute most up-to-date 2-line orbital
element set for the Shuttle, and a pointer to some software (shareware?)
that converts this to viewing information (rise/set/alt/az info)? Since
the Shuttle will be docking with MIR, I would expect their orbital elements
to change a lot, meaning we'll need fresh data to predict passes.
Also, what frequencies does MIR normally use?

The best way to get Shuttle elements, IMHO, is to subscribe to the Shuttle
Elements Mailing List on the Internet. The list consolidates several
different sources of elements for the shuttle and sends out only the most up
to date information available.
To get more information about the list there is a new Web page that you can
read at <ftp://ftp.cts.com/pub/garym/elements.html> that tells all about
the list. If you don't have access to the Web, you can also get info by
sending email to listserv@alsys.com with the text "info elements" as the
first line in your mail message.

I'm just getting into satellite operation. I've been on RS12 about one
month with about a dozen contacts. I would like to try some of the other
sats but only have 2M and 440 FM. Are there any converters that I can
use on my HF or mobile (FM) rig? Other than purchasing a multi mode 2M
440 rig is there another way to get on these birds?
Also, what about antennas? Right now I'm on a G5RV or my Tri-bander
(TA33Jr.). They work well on HF but I'm not sure of the best ant. to use
for VHF/UHF op. I do have a 2M verticals I use with packet.
Thanks for reading this and any info would be appreciated.

I've heard shuttle audio on two different 2-meter repeaters:
TRW: 145.320 (-)
JPL: 147.150 (+)
Usually the repeater still functions normally, with the shuttle
feed being heard during idle periods.

1691 MHz. The polar orbiters (NOAA and Russian Meteor) use
frequencies between 137.5 and 137.85 MHz, depending on which bird it is.
The NOAAs also use 1701 MHz for the high-resolution (HRPT) imagery.

Depending on how many modes you want to use ...
To work the 1200 pacsats, you will need a 1200 PSK modem to add on to the
pk232 (I believe this requires adding a modem disc. header (TAPR has a
kit)). Ditto for the 9600 bps FSK satellites.
Once you add all this up, and any other modes you want, the DSP-2232 may
start to become cost-effective. I use a DSP-2232 a lot in a variety of
modes, both satellite and terrestrial.

The PK-232 will NOT do pacsats, either 1200 baud psk or 9600 fsk. If you intend to
do satellite packet ever, don't waste your money on the PK-232, save up and get the
DSP-2232. It does everything the PK-232 does and more.

I have been trying to find WWW pages concerning the specifications of
satellites and the technology used to create them. Example would be the tx
power, antenna array, power supply requirements and how they were met etc etc..
I have still not been able to locate such information and wonder if anyone
can help me in this matter,
Cheers,

Quadrifilar Helix is an opt antenna where cicular polarization is required and
omnidirectional too.
It's hard to realize, or bettere, to adjust even with high expensive
instrumentation, for home made contruction I'll suggest you the Lindenblad
antenna, thats ok for LEO bird.
Regular helix is monofilar.
Hope this help

Check the rig with another station on 2m ssb to make sure there's not
an RF problem. If it's clean "simplex", it's likely that power is the
issue (maybe too much, maybe too little - experiment).

Keep your downlink (10m) signal on the same frequency by adjusting
your transmitter to compensate for doppler. That way, you won't run
over other users on the bird.

I have a couple of simple questions about working RS10.
I am using an Icom 728 with a Butternut vertical for the downlink which
appears to work fine. My uplink is a Kenwwod TR9000 running 10Watts into a
vertically polarized beam. I get a pretty decent signal into the sat using CW
for a large portion of the pass. However, when I go to USB for voice, the
signal sounds kind of weak and distorted. The TR9000 seems to be working fine,
so is this an antenna or a power related problem ?
I also have been somewhat confused as to the proper method for opearating the
Sats. I notice that some operators are staying on the same downlink frequency
while adjusting the uplink frequency to compensate for doppler. I thought you
are supposed to stay on the same uplink and adjust the downlink to compensate
for doppler so you would not run over someone elses signal ?

Hi all,
My radio club (the Acton Boxboro Amateur Radio Club) is assisting a
school in our area (the Hudson Forest St. School) in contacting
STS-71. This school was selected as one of the five schools to make
shuttle contacts on this mission, and the students there are very
excited about it. As you may or may not know, the co-pilot of
Atlantis went to school in Hudson, MA, and this is the opportunity a
lifetime for many of the students at this school to talk to him.
We've had bought and planned to use an eggbeater 2 m antenna to talk
to the shuttle (hams in this area have used that type of
configuration successfully with the shuttle previously), but NASA has
informed us that we must use an alt/azimuth tracking yagi because of
the antenna configuration on this mission. We've found an
appropriate 14 el yagi, but we don't have an alt/azimuth rotator (for
Oscar 13, you can use armstrong rotation quite effectively!).
Does anyone in the western Boston suburbs have a working alt/azimuth
rotator (preferrably with IBM PC control box) available that they'd
be willing to loan us for a few days? The mission is scheduled for 5
July, and unless we can upgrade the antenna configuration to the
yagi, the sched for the kids in Hudson may get scrubbed.
If anyone would be willing to help us out, please contact Gordon Dirk
(KA1DWX) at (508) 263 1066, or me, Carl Howe (WG1V) at
chowe@bbnplanet.com or phone me at
(508) 897 4723.
Thanks in advance and 73,

i just got a txt file from sci.space.news and another txt from somewhere else,
and they both have the FREQ at 137.xx. Yes i do believe you, but out of 2
places i am still not sure WHY they say it is 137mhz
thanks anyhow

Hopefully I can clear your confusion....
As I understand it the Geostationary WXSAT's transmit WEFAX (AM
fax) and PDUS (digital data) at S-band freqs only.
The 137 MHz bit comes into the picture because most amateur WXSAT
ers use a downconverter from S-band to VHF 137MHz to receive the
WEFAX data (which is exactly the same format as the NOAA polar
orbiters) they can then decode the picture in the same manner as
the polar orbiters (which transmit APT at 137MHz) without the cost
of an S-band receiver.
hope this helps

Has anyone compiled a frequency list for the amateur satellites recently?
The latest I've been able to come across was put together back in 1993,
so if anyone has a later one please post it. I'm sure I'm not the only
one that needs an update every few years or so! :)
tnx in advance.

Thereare several different routes to go.
Currently I am using JVFAX 7.0 with a simple opamp hf fax adaptor. The
software includes plans for a real simple VCO front end to convert the
NOAA AM FAX signal into an FM fax signal. It works pretty good.
There is also a program called SBDSP(.ZIP) that allows you to feed the
audio from your receiver into a SOUND BLASTER and convert the recorded
WAV or VOC file into an APT image. This sounds like a good method, but
I have yet to display the resultant image. There is a BBS in dallas tx
ran by The Dallas Remote Imaging Group(DRIG) that has lots of sat weather
software. I don't have the phone number handy but if you need it I will
post it here. They only offer internet access to members that have paid
something like $75. APTCAP$(.zip) is supposed to allow you to view the
image created by SBDSP, but again I've not had much luck.
JVFAX 7.0 and SBDSP should be at the oakland simtel ftp site
the APTCAPO.zip should be at the AMSAT Home page ftp site.
If you are willing to shell out "real" money there are several
"comercial" systems to receive wx sat stuff. If you need I have several
addresses but I can only speak with knowledge on the JVFAX, SPDSP,
aptcap40. I have posted a question over in rec.amateur.homebrew so I
might have more information later.

Hi ,
For quite a while I have been interested in PACSAT operation ( 9600Bd)
I posess allmost everything to begin PACSAT reception but a 70 cm
transceiver . My problem now is : Do I Need to make doppler correction
in FM , that is : does my transceiver NEED small steps in FM ???
Most of the PACSAT operators seem to use FT736 or TS790 etc .
To me these TRXs seem way too expensive to just use them for PACSATs.
I am thinking about byuing a TR851 or the Yaesu 790RII , will I be
able to use them for PACSATS ?? ( 9600 FSK , FM ? )
Is there an alternative like building a TRX only to be used for
PACSAT?
TNX in advance ,
Peter
ps : not sure wether it was PACSATS or MICROSATS ... But 9600 BD like
KO23 and KO25 etc.

I worked RS10 on verticals for my first year.
Signals are higly varible, depending what sort of pass you are seeing. I built
a JFET preamp that helped bring the signal up a little. You will still have complete
fades, 29 MHz is subject to Faraday rotation, not to mention the random polarized
sat signal.
Always tune your transmit signal. Everybody hears the downlink at the same
point on the dial. By tuning the transmit, will not step on anybody, unless they are
local.
10 watts is ok. RS10 has an AGC system. One loud signal will shut-down the
reciever. The loud-mouthed operator will wonder why nobody answers him.
As for distortion, if the signals from the bird sound clean, then check your
equipment. RS10 is a linear transponder, whatever goes in, comes out the same.
Good luck and 73

Not quite precisely true (if the satellite is approaching me, all the
downlink signals will be higher in frequency than for someone who has
the satellite receding from him.) But in *relative* terms, all the
signals in the downlink will have the same relationship to one
another, no matter where you are. But your main point is correct. To
keep from "drifting" on top of someone else due to uplink doppler, you
should keep adjusting your uplink frequency.
The problem I kept having during FD is this: if the other guy was
transmitting for more than a few seconds, and the sat was near maximum
elevation, the doppler would have moved my signal right out of my
receiver passband while he was transmitting! So I have to frantically
swish to try to find myself when it's my turn to transmit. Meanwhile
he has started to call me again. I guess it's a matter of practice.
I've gotten used to RS-12, where doppler is such a minor problem
because of the lower frequencies, that it is usually ignored.

How big is the beam? 10 watts, minus feed cable and such, is a little marginal
on RS-10 these days for SSB. Depending on conditions and how busy the bird
is, I have found 10 watts into a J-pole is sometimes all I need. Other times,
I need 50 watts into my 5 element beam. Try a late night pass when few are

The idea is to move the higher frequency knob. For RS-10 that's the 2 meter
uplink. For other satelites, it might be the downlink (e.g. FO-20 mode JA).

It's not all that tough, Take your best guess at the satellites element set
(position,velocity,etc is easiest) and calculate the expected doppler.
compare the expected and measured dopplers and 'correct' the elements
(aka state vector) to reduce the error. The vector of derivatives of the
states with respect to the observable is how the error is used. All sorts
of fun stuff is also done with the weighting and error estimation.
Hope this helps.

I have a good scanner, but only the simple telescopic aerial that came
with it. As you can tell I am very much a beginner but I am interested in
listening to the shuttle communications. Are there any repeaters in the
United Kingdom which I might receive, I am right in the center of the
country. Does the shuttle pass anywhere near the UK at any time so that I
might get them directly?
I would be interested in any comments
Thanks

by Jim Blackwell, N3KWU
Last Update 06/21/95
I. History
Kindled by a desire to spread the excitement of America's space program and of
the Space Shuttle in particular, members of the Goddard Amateur Radio Club
(WA3NAN) and the Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT) devised a plan to
re-transmit live, air-to-ground audio over amateur frequencies.
After overcoming many hurdles, the Shuttle Retransmission effort began on
August 31, 1983, 7 hours prior to the launch of Challenger on mission STS-8 on
the local AMSAT/GARC 2 meter repeater by virtue of a waiver granted by the FCC
for this purpose.
Retransmissions expanded to HF frequencies with the launch of STS-9 on November
28, 1983. Among many firsts for the Shuttle program during this mission was
the first use of amateur radio from space by Payload Specialist Owen Garriott,
W5LFL.
The success of this effort is shared by NASA, the Goddard Space Flight Center,
AMSAT, hundreds of dedicated volunteer control operators, and by the world-wide
support of the Amateur Community.
II. Frequencies
Retransmission of Shuttle air-to-ground audio from WA3NAN may be heard
on the following frequencies:
Frequency Mode Antennas
(MHz)
3.860 SSB LSB N-S/E-W Dipoles
7.185 SSB LSB N-S/E-W Dipoles
14.295 SSB USB 3-element Yagi
21.395 SSB USB 5-element Yagi
28.650 SSB USB 4-element Yagi
147.45 FM Simplex Phased vertical
Where SSB is Single-Side-Band and LSB, USB indicate either Lower and Upper Side
Band. A short-wave receiver possessing a Beat Frequency Oscillator (BFO) is
needed to receive these transmissions.
III. Frequently Asked Questions About Shuttle Retransmissions
1. When Are You On The Air ?---There are several criteria that best
determine when you will be able to receive Shuttle Retransmissions (not
necessarily in order of priority):
A. While The Crew Is Awake---We are usually on the air from the time the
crew gets its wakeup call (assuming the mission is not of the 24 hour
variety) till the time they go into what is called "Pre-Sleep".
B. When Volunteer Operators Are Available---We have a limited pool of
operators available during any single mission. The most difficult
days and nights to schedule are usually on the weekends.
C. When Local Weather Permits---We are located in Greenbelt, MD just
outside Washington DC. If you do not hear us and have the means to
do so, check our current local weather. If there are thunderstorms
(or other inclement weather such as a recent snowfall) currently in
the area or predicted, we will likely be off the air until such
weather has passed.
D. When Equipment Is Operational---Given the nature of our equipment, we
typically have at least one major failure during a mission. Though
we strive to get the failed equipment back on-line as soon as
possible there will be downtimes for all bands.
2. How Soon Before Launch Do You Go On The Air?---We usually begin
retransmissions about 1 hour before the predicted launch time.
3. Does Anyone Get Paid To Do This?---No. This is purely a voluntary
activity by our membership as a public service to all Radio Amateurs.
4. What Is NASA's Involvement With The Club?---The Goddard Amateur Radio
Club is one of many employee clubs sanctioned by the Goddard Employee Welfare
Association (GEWA).
5. Your Shuttle Retransmissions Are Interfering With My Net...---We
apologize and try to accommodate other Amateur Radio activities that our
retransmissions may interfere with. This decision is usually made by the
Control Operator on duty and/or the Shuttle Retransmission Director. The club
leadership may also consider requests made , in writing, by groups or
individual Radio Amateurs.
6. Why Do Other Hams Interfere With Shuttle Retransmissions---Contrary
to popular belief, Radio Amateurs share the frequencies we are allotted by the
FCC and our license class. All are free to use the frequencies whenever they
want and may not even realize that they are on top of our signal. During
missions, we ID the station frequently to let others know that the frequency is
in use.
7. I Do Not Hear You In Anytown, Planet Earth, But I Know You Must Be On
The Air, Why?---If you know that we are on the air and you cannot receive
our signal and the problem is not with your equipment (receiver and antenna),
then it is likely that signal propagation is not good for your geographic
location.. Good propagation depends on a number of factors and varies with
solar cycle (and storms), time of day, some atmospheric conditions, whether the
given frequencies "skip zone" is such that the signal even reaches your
location, and what direction and power we are transmitting. We welcome
propagation reports since it tells us if it is indeed propagation, or that
perhaps it is an antenna or transmitter problem at the station.
8. I Want To Send A Signal Report---You can send us a signal report to
the addresses listed under "Contact Information". Please include a
Self-Addressed Stamped Envelope (SASE) with appropriate postage if you wish to
receive confirmation of your report (we use the QSL bureaus for requests made
outside the US). Note that postage comes out of the club budget.
9. How Can I Get NASA TV---NASA Television offers the general public a
front-row seat at mission launches and activities taking place in space during
a mission, as well as informational and educational programming, historical
documentaries, and updates on the latest developments in aeronautics and space
science. NASA TV occasionally airs live coverage of SAREX activities.
Programming is received by satellite dish or may be available through your
local cable television network. NASA TV can be received from: Spacenet 2,
Transponder--5, Channel--9, located at 69 degrees west longitude, at a
frequency of 3880.0 MHz (C-band) with horizontal polarization (audio on 6.8
MHz).
For more information, contact: Technology and Evaluation Branch, Education
Division, Code FET, NASA Headquarters, Washington D.C. 20546, or call (202)
358-1540.
10. Can I Retransmit Communications Between The Space Shuttle And Mission
Control On Amateur Frequencies?---The FCC rules indicate that amateur
stations are permitted to retransmit Space Shuttle air-to-ground
communications, provided that approval has been obtained from NASA (FCC Rules,
Part 97.113 (e)).
In 1990, ARRL sought permission from NASA, on behalf of radio amateurs, to
retransmit shuttle communications. The response from NASA's Office of Public
Affairs encouraged such retransmissions, and indicated that the audio is public
domain.
If you plan to rebroadcast NASA Shuttle audio, please follow these
guidelines:
A. In keeping with good amateur practice and the FCC rules, shuttle
audio retransmissions should be limited to missions of a specific
educational purpose (non-commercial), such as those carrying the SAREX
payload.
B. Retransmissions should be done manually (with a control operator
present).
C. Occasionally, NASA audio may contain music. Amateurs should avoid, if at
all possible, retransmitting music or any other prohibited transmissions
not permitted by the FCC rules (FCC Rules, Part 97.113).
Please note however that the Shuttle audio retransmitted by GARC is not what
one can receive from NASA TV. Rather, we get a direct feed from NASCOM. The
difference is that this audio feed does not contain other coverage such as
press briefings and mission status reports. This is significant because of
restrictions on what are considered "permissible" transmissions by the FCC (see
item C. above).
11. I Want NASA Goodies, Where Can I Get Them?---By "goodies" I refer to
patches, photos, information related to the Space program, NASA centers, GSFC,
projects and so on. Rather than send such requests to GARC, we prefer that you
send your queries to the GSFC Visitor's Center at:
GSFC Visitor's Center
Code 130.0
NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt MD 20771
12. Can I Become A Member?---Membership is presently limited to GSFC
Civil Servant and Contractor employees and their immediate families. We do
extend membership to those outside GSFC provided they assist us with our public
service activities including Shuttle Retransmission. We are working to allow
other levels of membership to include a "Contributing Membership" that would
allow interested individuals to receive our monthly newsletter and help to
offset the cost of our activities.

ARLS008 SAREX launch on Friday
The Space Shuttle Atlantis is scheduled to launch on Friday, June 23
at 2108 UTC. The mission, designated STS-71, carries the Shuttle
Amateur Radio EXperiment or SAREX. Astronauts Ellen S. Baker and
Charlie Precourt are both Amateur Radio operators. Ellen previously
used ham radio from aboard the Shuttle Columbia during STS-50 in
June 1992, and her call sign is KB5SIX. Charlie is KB5YSQ and also
operated SAREX from Columbia during STS-55 in April 1993.
The crew has scheduled voice contacts with 4 school groups in the US
and one in Russia. The crew plans to make random contacts with the
Amateur Radio community as their busy schedules permit. Landing is
planned for July 4 at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
The crew will operate 2 meter FM voice only, using a radio which
will also facilitate a rendezvous and docking with the Russian Space
Station Mir. The docking is planned to occur on Monday, June 26. The
shuttle will carry two new Mir crew members (Mir 19) to the station,
and return to Earth with the three Mir 18 crew members (Vladimir
Dezhurov, Gennadiy Strekalov, and US astronaut Norm Thagard). This
mission is the first of at least seven shuttle flights to Mir. The
effort is a precursor to building the International Space Station.
Most of the SAREX activities are planned for after the Shuttle
separates from Mir on July 1. The following Keplerian element set,
JSC-008a, can be used to track the shuttle after the separation.

These elements are valid from post-separation on July 1 at 1449 UTC
until the deorbit burn on July 4 at 1454 UTC. Thanks to Gil Carman,
WA5NOM, at the NASA Johnson Space Center for the preceding element
set.
A different set of frequencies will be used for this SAREX mission.
The astronauts will operate split, transmitting and receiving on
separate frequencies. Please do not transmit on the shuttles
downlink frequency. The downlink is your receiving frequency. The
uplink is your transmitting frequency. The FM voice downlink is
145.84 MHz. The FM voice uplinks are 144.45 and 144.47 MHz. The crew
will not favor either uplink frequency, so your ability to
communicate with SAREX will be the luck of the draw. To avoid
causing interference to other stations transmit only when the
shuttle is within range and when the SAREX station is on the air.
Send reports and QSLs to the ARRL Educational Activities Department.
Include the mission number, date, time in UTC, frequency and mode in
your report. You must also include a self-addressed stamped
business-sized envelope if you wish to receive a card.

They appear different for a couple of reasons. The one that I am sure
of is that they are calculated with date codes some 7 hours different.
The one that I am less sure of is that the Mir orbits are started from
a north passing of the equator and the Shuttle orbits are started from
a north passing of KSC latitude. The joy of KEPs is that they end up
in the same place.

The most current orbital elements from the NORAD two-line element sets are
carried on the Celestial BBS, (334) 409-9280, and are updated daily (when
possible). Documentation and tracking software are also available on this
system. The Celestial BBS may be accessed 24 hours/day at speeds up to
14,400 bps using 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.
Element sets (also updated daily) and some documentation and software are
available via anonymous ftp from archive.afit.af.mil (129.92.1.66) in the
directory pub/space.
As a service to the satellite user community, the most current of these
elements are uploaded weekly to sci.space.news and rec.radio.amateur.space.
This week's elements are provided below.

I'm searching for tracking hardware like
TrakBox, KCT board or SATTRACK
I've found lots of software for these units, but where are
the sources for kits or assembled units???
