According to an earlier article on the newsgroup:

Quote:
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.
Unquote.

The July 1 date was based on the earlier scheduled June 23 launch.  So
adjust the date accordingly.

  You won't hear anything until after they undock according to Nasa info.
Mir has been very quite as well.

SAREX is sponsored by NASA, ARRL, and AMSAT, with AMSAT taking
responsibility for making sure that selected schools are technically
ready for their contact with the astronauts.  There are about 10
volunteers that are assigned as technical mentors to follow the
progress of the school preparations.  I'm the AMSAT appointed mentor
for the Forest Avenue School.  The new antenna equipment is being
installed at the school now, but I wanted to explain to people why an
omni-directional antenna is inadequate for school SAREX contacts.


As of STS-45, about half of school contacts "succeeded" on the
first attempt 8(  Success is defined as asking a single question and
getting an intelligible reply.  This is an incredible disappointment
for the students involved who often spend months preparing for a
contact.  Because the majority of these missed contacts were due
to operations errors or a marginal station at the school, AMSAT established
the technical mentor program, established a telebridge network of amateur
ground stations to allow SAREX contacts by schools with meager technical
resources, and mandated OSCAR class ground stations at schools that
would attempt direct contacts.  With these changes the initial contact
success rate has gone up to better than 90%.  (There is usually one
school per mission that has to reschedule a contact.)

Amateurs have trained ears, and we can pick an answer out when the
average "civilian" can't even tell a voice is there.  Add the noises
inherent with a public address system and a crowd and you have a
situation where you need a VERY clear signal.  An omni-directional
antenna is fine for the average random-QSO SAREX contact, but it is
totally inadequate for a primary station.  Omni-directional antennas
serve as a fine backup, where if your primary station fails, a crummy
voice signal is better than none!

The Nienberge Amateur Radio Group (N46 of DARC) will launch an ARTOB this
sunday.

Location:       Sch÷ppinger Berg (NW Germany) JO32PC
Date:   Sunday, 07-02-95
Time:   12:00 UTC (Launch)
Drifting direction:     probably to W/SW

The balloon:
Call sign:      DL0ART/am
QRGs:   145.200 MHz:    data and call sign in cw;
                        also downlink when switched to repeater mode
        29 MHz:         uplink when switched to repeater mode; if so,
                        the exact frequency will be broadcasted on 145.200
Mode:   FM
ground teams:   talk back on DB0EG (R71),
                later on DB0PD (R84)

This will probably be a 2 or 3 h flight.

Any response and or reception reports will be highly appreciated. You may use
the talk back frequencies for (short) reports (coordinator is DL3YBQ), or send a
QSL card to DL9QJ via the buro. Any participation in using the repeater (if
working) is also welcome, but please: use your ham spirit...

The N46-ARTOB team is looking forward to all responses, suggestions and
especially reports.

I am aware that this information will only concern to hams living in the northern
part of Germany or in the Netherlands, but maybe the balloon's sigs will be heard
in even more distant places...
Please forward this message to any ham who might be interested!

For more information, please contact Oliver, DL9QJ (see below).

I'm sorry that this message is posted only abt 40 h before the launch, but that is
the time when we decide about it.

Best 73, Oliver

1691 MHz is the output freq for the WEFAX product. Which is fairly simple
to receive, all you need is one or two loop Yags and a down converter.
Most down converters will bring the 1691 MHz signal down to 137.50 MHz
(which is one of 4 common output freqs of polar satellites so the same
receiver can be used on both.) Hope this helps. - Chris

I started NOAA/Meteor APT reception from a kitset demodulator attached to a handhled
scanner.  It worked find but does not have the bells and whistles that others may
have.  It is very simple to construct.  Comes with the required software.  You would
also need an appropriate VHF pre-amp.

The kitset was featured in Electronics Australia in three parts June, July and
August 1992.  It was designed and sold directly by Tom Moffat (VK7TM).  He has
subsequently modified his software to receive geostationary pictures too.  He was,
in 1992, selling them for Australian $99 (plus postage outside Australia and New
Zealand).  He does not sell the pre-amp though.

You may like to write to him to find out the present price.  His address is

For your information, his third article featured the Lindenblad antenna constructed
out of 300 Ohms ribbon TV cables.  It is very easy to construct and very cheap.
I am still using this antenna - very effective and economical.

Contact me if you have any further queries.

On air are NOAA 9 and 14 on 137.625 MHz and NOAA 12 on 137.500 MHz.

The Meteor 2-21 and 3-5 are also on on 137.850 MHz.  Met 3-5 will be turned off

Greetings.

I've heard that it's often possible to see Mir as it comes over the
horizon in early mornings. It must follow then that once Atlantis is
coupled with the Mir station, it would be possible to see both craft.

Can anyone tell me how I might go about 'finding' the craft in the sky, if
in fact it's even possible. I'm located in Toronto, ON.

Thanks much.

well, unless you have a good telescope, and a tracker, all you will see is a
bright point of light  shooting across the sky.  even still, it's a lovely

I hear we're going to get an "eyeball" tonight (Sat) in the mid Atlantic states.
Check in on the local news. I think I remember hearing somewhere between 9 and
10PM local. But Davids right, you'll just see a fast moving "star".

  Please be advised that the SAREX uses different frequencies for uplink
and downlink. On this last pass over Los Angeles,
someone nearby was trying to contact the shuttle on the shuttle's
downlink frequency. Not only did the shuttle not hear them, but they wreaked
it for everyone else.

Although I'm sure they have been well publicised, it might be a good idea to
quote them for everyone's benefit.  I'm afraid I don't have them myself. I
guess it might be a bit late for this mission though.

        I recently came upon a TS-790 at a very good price, (2m/440 base
rig) and have quickly jumped into the mainstream of VHF/UHF operating. I
now need to set up a good VHF/UHF antenna system that has good terrestrial
performance along with satellite performance as well. I know already that
for truly good sat performance I'll need an az/el rotator...no big deal...
but what kind of antennas should I use to get good performance on both
types of communication, both ground and sat? Can I get away w/ a circularly
polarized antenna for terrestrial contacts, or can I get away with a SSB
beam for sat contacts? Is there an antenna that is good at doing both?
Thanks to all who choose to reply...your response is very much appreciated.

You bet!  This is the best way!  I have used K1FO yagis for 144 and 432

You'll no doubt hear that you can use less expensive linearly (horizontal or
vertical) polarised antennas for satellites. This is quite true, however
there are a couple of points to consider beyond the cost factor (which is
what drives people to the linear antennas)...

1. Circular antennas can work with linear signals of any sort quite well.
This means that a c/p antenna can be used for vertically polarised mobile and
repeaters as well as sats. Try using a vertically polarised antenna with a
weak horizontal ssb signal! Or, at that, a horizontal antenna for far away
repeaters.

2. DX signals (terrestrial) are likely to arrive in most any polarisation,
vertical, horizontal, or whatever in between. A c/p antenna will get them all
quite well.

So, the c/p antennas may cost more, but they do a ->very<- good job all
around. They will have about 3db less gain on a linear polarised signal, but
if you start with a good one with about 15 db plus gain, this is not such a
big deal.

Above all, don't go cheap. You get what you pay for. I've seen the cheap ones
get completely fouled in the rain and snow, while the good ones keep on
ticking.

A disadvantage of circularly polarized antennas is that to work other
c/p  stations on both direct and bounce paths you need to be able to
switch between RHCP and LHCP. Bounce paths can work very well when you
both see a large reflector, such as a mountain range.

The antennas on the satellite also make a difference.  If they are
truely circularly polarized and properly oriented, there is merely
a 3 dB loss that can be made up by using a bigger linear array.
But, many satellites aren't this elaborate, so you get fades that
are often worse if you use the bigger linear array.  Hopefully,
Phase 3D will make linear arrays more popular.

If you have local noise problems, you might be better off with a
linear array--especially if you use one of the designs optimized
for EME arrays.  I suspect these antennas have much cleaner patterns,
which ought to increase the useful satellite time you have available.

On the other hand, if you just need 10 to 15i dB of gain on
435/1.2/2.4 I think a helix works quite well.  But, if you want
more gain to extend your troposcatter range, linear yagis make
more sense.  Your actual troposcatter range is also a big factor.
The curve flattens out, so that extra investment is often more
useful to a station with a range of 150 miles, as opposed to 30
miles.

The problem is that you don't say where you are in this great big wide
world of ours, "Wiz"...

So, assuming you're in the Dallas-Fort Worth area (since I see you're the
'Wizard" of Internet America DFW), try the 445.000 re-broadcaster at the
University of Texas @ Arlington, if it's within your reception range.

And, next time... feed us more information so we're not guessing at how to
answer your question, ok?

As of 7/6/95, all STS-65 QSLs that we have received have been shipped out.  We are
expecting a few more from the ARRL, but that will not take us long to release.

We are looking for any of the SAREX school contacts to send their QSLs in.  To date,
we have only heard from about half of the schools.  So please let us know.

Our club appreciates everyone's patience for waiting for their STS-65 QSLs.

 Hell yah! I took my girlfriend to this place on top of a hill near a lake
and we fed the ducks until it was time. Then, just after sunset, there it
was in all it's tiny but brilliant glory. We loved it! Real romantic!

 The next night I was at a party and we were all drinking and I took
everyone out at the right time and showed them it also. It is a GREAT way
to turn people onto the space program who normally wouldn't give a shit.

My wife and I had a good sighting on the Tuesday evening pass.  Although it
was quite hazy, she spotted Atlantis first, and I picked out MIR in hot
pursuit.  Great feeling!

She's not that much of a space type, but she was really blown away by it.

  We were moored at Isthmus Cove at Catalina Island and passed the word to
the other boats moored for the July  Fourth weekend. Had everyone watching
and those with radio rigs were listneing on the 448.5 repeater frequency.
Got a QSL during the trip.

  We converted a lot of disinterested people into enthusiasts and didn't
have to use our own money to do it!  :)

Where can I get the code or binary for a world map for
a freeware (althogh donations to Amsat accepted) program I'm writing
(in C and asm), displayable in modes 12, 10, 6, and Hercules.
I'd like one with equal spacing betweeen parallels of latitude,
including the polar regions, centered on the prime meridian.  The
magnetic poles and south Atlantic are the areas I'll plotting most
points on.

please cc me by email, the netserver is acting strangely recently.

Is a basic ICOM 2m HT good for rx LOS weather sats? i have tryed for a few
months and all i get w/ jvfax6 and jvfax7 is basicly static, with SOME
resemblabce <sp?> to pics from wefax sats.  or should i use a scanner w/ a
larger bandwith?

help

thanks

YES!  The frequencies AND protocol should both be well published to maximize

I had a similar problem with a SAREX mission a little over a year ago, only my
problem was that as soon as some @#$% ~30 miles from me could no longer hear
the shuttle, he started yakkin' away on the shuttle down-link frequency, while
I was still listening to a wonderful shuttle QSO from the shuttle in progress.
AAAARRRRGGGGGH.

Sooooo - stay off those shuttle down-link frequencies, EVEN IF YOU THINK the Shuttle is
not overhead.  Just because you can't hear them doesn't mean someone else can't.
Also, because the orbit can change, you may also accidently blast on them if
you don't have the latest orbital information, and are presuming the Shuttle is not
within' range.

    People can at LEAST get a sat tracking program so they can SEE where
shuttle or Mir is and know when they go below the horizon. The least they
can do is to wait at least 10-15 mins. to start their ragchew but then
they may interfere with a Mir pass at times as well. I do hear
people on the downlink from time to time. Can't stress it enough.....
PLEASE..DO NOT TRANSMIT ON THE DOWNLINK! That's what the uplinks are for!

I very new to satellites. I have a Yaesu FT-736 with a Diamond X510
omni ground plane antenna. I've had very little success being able to
pick up any of the sats. I can get DO-17 and the MIR, but very faintly.
I now part of the problem is the antenna since omni radiate outwards and
upwards. I'm thinking of getting an egg beater style antenna since they
are truly omni and I won't need to buy a az/el rotor.

Couple of very naive questions:

1. All of the EB antennas seem to have a gain of 1 db. Will this be enough?

2. I think I definitly well need to mast mounted pre-amp. Is this correct?

3. Also, is a lower gain directional antenna (such as a yagi) better than
a high gain omni? For example, my X510 had an advertised gain of 11.7 db
on 70cm. Would I get better sat performance with a lower gain yagi?

4. And finally, this is kind of related to question #3. Can the low gain
be compensated with a mast mount pre-amp? In other words, if I take an EB
antenna with a gain of 1 db and put a pre-amp with a gain of 20 db in front
of it, do I end up with a EB antenna with an effect gain of 20 db? Sounds too
simple.

Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Kory

Enough depends upon a number of things.  For Low Earth Orbit satellites such
as DO-17 and MIR, almost any antenna will be enough.  Antennas with gain
towards the horizon such as your X510 will help.  Remember that the gain needed
is proportional to the path loss.  At high elevations, the path loss is minimized, so
the gain requirements are minimized.  At low elevations, the path loss is maximized
(and actually the LEO birds spend most of their time at low or lower elevations
simply due to the properties of their orbits) and hence gain at low elevations is
beneficial.

For the non LEO birds such as AO-10, AO-13, and the soon to be launched phase 3D
bird, omni-directional antennas, even with gain, aren't going to be enough.  The link
budget for these satellites is such that you need directional antennas to reliably work
them.

> 2. I think I definitly well need to mast mounted pre-amp. Is this correct?

A low noise mast mounted pre-amp is almost always a benefit.  How much of
a benefit depends upon its impact on the system noise figure.  There have been
some good articles in QST over the last 10-20 years that cover system noise
figure and how to determine the impact of a pre-amp (either mast mounted or
shack mounted) on your system's receive capability.  It is safe to say that if
you have a reasonable low noise pre-amp (say  NF of 1 dB or less) and normal
feedline losses (9913 or worse for 50-100 ft), and an average front end (NF of
say 2-4 dB), then a good pre-amp is going to make a significant difference.

Well 11.7 dB on 70 cm isn't bad, but even a relatively short yagi on that band
is going to have better gain.  In addition, that gain is only at the horizon, not at
elevation angles greater than say 30 degrees.  A modest yagi (say an 8 ft 16 element
crossed yagi) with AZ-EL rotors is going to outperform your X510.

Yes and no.  Antenna gain is always preferable to amplification gain.  A low
noise pre-amp gain only amplify what it is given.  So a 1 dB antenna with
a 20 dB gain pre-amp, is not going to perform at all like a 20 dB antenna
with a 1 dB gain pre-amp.  A low noise pre-amp will help a good station, but
it will not make a bad station into a good station.  Again, get the QST articles on
calculating system noise figures and you'll be able to make the comparisons
yourself.

The primary disadvantage to higher antenna gain is the narrowing of its
beamwidth.  This means that the antenna most be more accurately pointed and
must track the satellite's position more carefully.  These disadvantages though
are more than offset by the improved overall performance.  Given a choice
between 3 dB of additional antenna gain and 3 dB of additional pre-amp gain,
you'd be far better off taking the 3 dB of additional antenna gain.  Remember that
a pre-amp can onl amplify the signals it is provided.  Additional gain over the
losses in the feedline and switching gear only amplifies the noise along with
the signal.

Yes it is too simple.  You have to take into account the amount of
background noise, commonly expressed in Kelvin. On 2 meters, the
background noise is sometimes high enough that some people get little
improvement using a mast mounted preamp.

Consider the following simplified case on 435 MHz:
Very quiet sky 50 Kelvin average
Warm Earth 300 Kelvin.
70 Kelvin receiver

Omni antenna case:  1/2*50Kelvin+1/2*300Kelvin+70 Kelvin=245 Kelvin

Directional antenna that only looks at 20 Kelvin sky
20Kelvin+70 Kelvin=90 Kelvin

effective gain from lower noise pickup 10*log(245/90)=4.3 dB.

Thus, a 15 dBi beam may actually have an effective gain of
19 dBi.  See chapter 17 of the 1995 ARRL Handbook or Chapter
12 of an older Handbook for more details.

I am planning to builda AO-13 Mode S downconverter,
and I was wondering:  How critical is the frequency
stability of the local oscillator?  I.e.: to what extent
do frequency error, drift, and phase noise degrade
Mode-S SSB communications?  Or are these problems all
swamped by Doppler shift anyway?  Is it common to use
a TCXO, crystal oven, etc to reduce these problems?

Thanks,

For an excellent demonstration of what a little drift can do, listen in on an
SSB signal that is otherwise stable, and then vary your Rx frequency by
different amounts. As little as 100 Hz can make it sound really bad.

No, just compounded! Actually, the Doppler doesn't shift all that much on
AO-13 Mode-S, since S is on at Apogee.

>Is it common to use
>a TCXO, crystal oven, etc to reduce these problems?

I have not seen these used in commercial designs, but they would be welcome.
The biggest problem is that the frequency of the oscillator is multiplied
many, many times. This also multiplies any drift, so whatever you can
(reasonably) do to provide some stabilisation will help in the long run.

Mostly, we just need to make sure that our oscillators are turned on well in
advance of operating, so that they are up to temp. and relatively stable. If
you try to operate them cold (during warming) it can be a wild ride!

Have fun!

The JVFAX 7.0 software, with the "simplest" converter and the "HAMCOM"

Patrick;
  Amphenol connector #82-202-1006 is an N-connector made specifically for
Belden 9913--you can get them at AES or HRO.  There are PL259 to N
adapters as well.  I recommend using N connectors on your coax and the
adapter--get one with a good teflon dielectric like the ones made by AIM
electronics.  The ones at Radio Shack are questionable, IMHO.  You're
likely to have less loss with an N connector and the adapter, because it's
next to impossible to get a PL-259 on without a significant impedance
change, where an N connector done right is nearly invisible at 2m/70cm
on a reflectometer.  The other option (a better one) is to replace the
connector on the antenna harness with an "N" type.

There are almost all adapter combos. Look for brand names, Amphenol for one.
Cheap import adapters have broken on me. Also read an article saying avoid nickel
plating at UHF. Silver-plating is usually is a sign of higher-quality.
        Connectors for RG series coax won't work with 9913. You may cobble it
together, but in the long run...

Michael,

The mininum elevation is a height or distance above your
horizon that you want SatTrak to report on, for example,
to the south of my QTH I have a large hill so any sat that is
less that 3 degrees above my horizon is useless to me as I
can't work it do to the hill. I therefore tell my sat software
not to report anything to me untill it's at least 3 degrees
above the horizon. Your QTH may be better so you might want
to set it to 0 degrees.

If you interested in this kind of thing you might also want
to have a look at ftp.demon.co.uk    /pub/ham/mac
lots of other Mac Sat software and stuff like that. You'll
also find a programme called OrbiTrack which you
might want to try.

Regards,

Sean.

Sure,

This is the minimum elevation that a satellite must rise above your horizon
in order for you to be interested in it.  If you put in zero, you may get
listings of lots of satellite passes that only get 1-degree, or 2-degrees above
the horizon.  You'll never see these, and probably never hear them with a
radio, either.  So, depending on your local terrain, what your interest is
(radio contact, optical sighting, etc.) set this parameter to some number
between 2 and 5 degrees.

For example, a couple of weeks ago I was calculating visual MIR passes, and
I was in a wooded area with a lot of humidity and haze on the horizon, so I
was only interested in passes that achieved an elevation above the horizon
greater than 15 degrees.  I set the "minimum satellite elevation" to 15 degrees,
and the program only lists the passes I'm interested in.

Yup, suppose your site is surrounded by hills, then AOS will be that much
later than for a site in the middle of flatlands. For reliable AOS & LOS
prediction you need to supply the elevation of the highest point of your
site's horizon, as this is the minimum satellite elevation that will give
line of sight.

I was not able to hear anything from Uosat 2 on 2m neither 70cm. Is it down,
or just off in this period, or maybe my receiving system is poor?
Thanks in advance.

                      INDIANA ATV BALLOON LAUNCH


On July 15 at 7:30 AM EST (12:30 UTC), weather permitting, there will be
a helium balloon launch from Veedersburg, Indiana (25 miles east
of Danville, Il) to test the deployment of 3 helium balloons to lift a
package aloft with minimal spinning on the package.

The package will contain a Amateur Television transmitter on 439.250 Mhz
with horizontal polarity on the antenna showing two camera views, plus a
video Id'er with the call of KT9V.  A GPS receiver and packet telemetry
software will give position of the balloon at 1200 baud and other balloon
status on 446.000 with the call of WB9IHS.

Also on board will be a cross band repeater with call of W9DUU.
Input will be on 144.300 MHz FM with outputs on 444.850 and 52.525.

A HF net on 3.871 MHz will be hosted by Emmett Dodson, K9YKX, to provide
status of preparation, launch, and balloon operation during the flight.

This balloon is expected to reach an altitude of 100,000 feet or more and
should have a 440+ mile range from the balloon at peak altitude.

All amateur operators are encouraged to participate in this flight.

          Location:         western Indiana (Veedersburg, IN)
          Date/Time *:      July 15/ 7:30 AM EST (12:30 UTC)
          FM Repeater:      Input - 144.300 MHz
                            Output - 444.850 MHz; 52.525 MHz (W9DUU)
          ATV:              439.250 MHz two cameras plus video ID
                            (KT9V)
          Packet:           446.000 MHz GPS derived position and
                            misc. telemetry (WB9IHS)
          HF Voice Net:     3.871 Mhz (net control K9YKX)

          * Note:           slight launch time change from

The latest version of WinOrbit (2.6) is now available on
oak.oakland.edu and ftp.amsat.org.  A description of changes, and
an overview of the program, are given below:

New Features in version 2.6
-------------------------
* Glossary has finally been included.
* Immediate display of all visible satellites, regardless of
    whether they are being tracked in a Map Window.
* Sun and Moon may be tracked for antenna or receiver calibration.
    The algorithm is built-in, no keps are required.
* Immediate display of all stations in the QTH database visible from
    a particular satellite for mutual visibility determination.
* Latitude and longitude display and specification made more flexible.
       Lat/long displays can be in decimal degrees or degrees,
          minutes, seconds; and with choice of +/-, or E/W notation.
       Choice of direction for positive longitude (E or W)
       Shift-click on a map adds a point to the QTH database.
       Ctrl-click on a map changes the observer location.
       Lat/long and grid square of the point under the mouse cursor
          can be displayed on map or globe.
* AOS for next pass now displayed on maps and in Info Window.
* Calculation of EQX, AOS, and Apogee/Perigee for Ephemeris tables
    improved (more accurate, some speed up).
* Ephemeris output to an existing file is added at the end ("append")
    instead of overwriting the previous information.
* Two-line element sets can be saved from the edited orbital elements.
* User-provided maps may now be used for the background, giving
    added display flexibility.
* Fixed bugs in Help:System Info and Colors dialog.
* A companion program for antenna control using the Prairie Digital
    board will shortly be available from the author (NO TSRs!).


Program Overview
----------------
WinOrbit is a program for computing artificial Earth-satellite
position and visibility, with the Amateur Radio satellite
operator in mind.  It was written for the Microsoft Windows 3.1
operating system.  WinOrbit is free (not shareware).  The
latest version is 2.6.

The principal feature of the program is a series of tracking
windows, one per satellite, which display the current position of
the satellite and the observer on a simple world map, together
with information such as footprint, past ground track, bearing
(azimuth), distance, and elevation above the observer's horizon.

Additional features include:
* Simultaneous tracking of up to 20 satellites.
* Real-time, pseudo-real-time, and manual calculation modes.
* A "view from space" map presentation showing what a particular
     satellite sees.
* Computation of Doppler shift and path loss for communications
     satellites.
* Selectable tracking detail, including doppler shift and free-
     space path loss, for a single satellite.
* Display sun position for eclipse determination, and other
     observers for mutual visibility.
* 4 different orbital calculation algorithms (selectable).
* Tracking data (Keplerian element sets) read directly from
     standard, off-the-air bulletins in two different formats (up
     to 500 satellites).  No pre-processing is needed, just
     grab a bulletin file.
* Propagation of pre-launch keps and other element updates.
* Utility functions for modifying and comparing published element
     sets, including post-launch updating of pre-launch elements,
     and saving composite data files compiled from various
     sources.

* Observer (QTH) data (latitude, longitude) may be imported from
     a simple text database (up to 1000 locations).  Entry by
     grid-square or mouse-on-map is possible.
* Printing of tables of tracking data (Ephemerides) in several
     formats.  Table printing does not interrupt tracking.  Table
     output may be directed to a disk file.
* On-line help, including direct access to text information about
     Amateur satellites from the tracking windows.
* Standard Windows interface for all functions - no commands to
     memorize.  Both mouse and keyboard can be used for most
     functions.
* DDE server interface to tracking-antenna hardware controllers.

This program is available via internet, by anonymous ftp from:
   ftp.amsat.org in /amsat/software/windows/tracking/winorb26.zip
   oak.oakland.edu  /pub3/hamradio/pc/satellite/winorb26.zip
The file VBRUN300.DLL is also required - available from the same
   sites.

Future enhancements might include (depending upon interest):
   Bug fixes (when reported by users)
   Corrected/augmented satellite information supplied by users.
   Enhanced satellite database maintenance features
   Additional table formats (as requested by users)
   Fancier map formats
   Speedups
   BLAT/BLON calculation
   Rotor and rig control interface

I have a dumb question to add to all this:

I have a receiver that tunes to 2000 mHz. Is there any advantage for me
to use a down converter?

Len,
Two issues, you'll have more line loss at 1691 than at 137, secondly You'll
want 30-50 kHz bandwith.  If you have the signal strenght and the bandwith
then their is no advantage to the downconverter, you'll still need a preamp
at the antenna.

Good Luck,

Kevin N9JKP

   If you use a scanner with a "wide" bandwidth, that's probably *too*
wide (good for FM broadcast, maybe).  This may mean noisy pictures. If
you have a tracking directional antenna (cross-polarized Yagis, 6 or
more elements each), low-loss coax, and perhaps a preamp, you may be
able to get satisfactory results.

i'm sure my ICOM HT does not have the 40-50KHz bandwith for NOAA OR GOES...

would a typical pro-2006 Rat Shack scanner have a bigger bandwith? that might
be my problem with rx wefax.....thanks

The NOAA LEO WX sat txs a 30KHZ signal.  I am currently using a

I could not even get sync pulse from any of my noarrow band stuff.
The meteor series has a slightly narrower bw , but still much wider

these figures as gospell.  You also need a better antenna than the
standard antenna used by hams.  I am using a radiio shack disk cone
with an older JFET preamp. At the scanner.  I am building a trunstile

will go at the antenna end.  Between work, life and family there just
is not enough time to go around.  I am getting the last bugs out of my

I disagree. CP antennas take a 3 dB gain hit when used with linear
polarized sources, but they can dramatically reduce the effects of
spin modulation on satellite signals, even when the satellite off-
pointing is giving you eliptical polarization. That can amount to
a 10 dB or greater improvement in receiving the satellite signals.
I consider that a good trade against the 3 dB loss when used
terrestrially with stations having linearly polarized antennas.
Besides, unless it's a line of sight path, where beams usually
are unnecessary anyway, the terrestrial path is going to shift
the polarization of the transmitted wave anyway, so the 3 dB
theoretical handicap of the CP antenna isn't really real. In
fact, on scatter paths, they often work better than linearly
polarized antennas.

> All non FM yagis work well,  M2 yagis seem to be the favorite today.

I also disagree that all non-FM yagis work well for satellites. On
2 meters, most long boomer style yagis are cut for 144.2 MHz, and
don't perform very well up at 145.9 MHz. Similarly, but not quite
as serious, long boomers for 70 cm are cut for 432 MHz, not 435 MHz,
and patterns, gain, and match won't be as good for satellite work.
The CP antennas are cut for the satellite segments, which means they
won't work quite as well for terrestrial band segments, but that's
usually not as important. You want ZRO-8 or better capability on
the satellite, and that's usually more demanding than any terrestrial
path you'll be using. Sidelobes won't raise your effective system
noise temperature much for terrestrial paths where the Earth is in
the main lobe anyway, but they make a big difference when your
target is against the cold sky, so you want that antenna cut and
optimized for the satellite segment of the band.

>Stay away from yagis with a gamma match.

I agree with this.

>PS Why even consider a vertical yagi for FM repeaters?  You'll spend less

Maybe, maybe not.  Repeater Dxing is usually really bad form, but there
is a surprising amount of simplex FM operation where a good beam can be
a major assist.

I've used both stacked long boomers and CP antennas. My vote goes for
the CP antennas if you're serious about satellites. The reduction in
spin modulation is really significant. Having low sidelobes in the
satellite band segment is really really significant. Being able to work
terrestrial paths with either horizontal or vertical polarized stations
is also a flexibility plus. The 3 dB loss, if it really exists on a given
path, is worth the other advantages. I use KLM antennas, but the M2s are
good too. Avoid the Cushcraft AOP-1 package. (Hell, avoid Cushcraft period
except for their long boomers which aren't bad.)

This lets you tell the program how far above the horizon a satellite
must be before SatTrak will consider it visible from your site. You
could just set it to zero. But I prefer to keep it somewhere between
2 and 5 degrees so that I'm not bothered with having to read pass
information on passes that neither I nor my radio can see. (I consider
5 degrees to be about minimum for those purposes, but I usually keep
this setting at 2 degrees so that SatTrak will let me know when a
bird is going to pop over the horizon.)

I like SatTrak a lot. I particularly like that it tells you in its
printouts when a satellite will be eclipsed. That saves you from
wasting your time looking when it's too late in the evening (or too
early in the morning) to see something. (Of course, eclipse information
isn't relevant for radio contacts, but it's great if you want to see Mir
or the shuttle yourself.)

The program wants to know what you consider a reasonable minimum
elevation angle for the satellite's position in the sky.  At 90 degrees
the satellite is directly overhead, at zero degrees the satellite is on
the theroetical horizon (no large objects blocking your view of the
horizon, perfectly symetcial Earth, no atmosphere.  In practice the only
difference between the theroetical and actual is any large obstructions
(e.g. buildings, mountains, etc.

Typically I'll set my minimum elevation to zero - even though I realize
that the 'bad' (e.g. low elevation) passes aren't even worth going for.
But for many good passes I'll hear satellites as soon as the get above
the horizon.

Dear schmuck,

who cares?  This is *NOT* alt.I.hate.macs.  This is
rec.radio.amateur.space.  If you don't like Macs fine.  But why do you
feel the need to waste net bandwidth by flaming the original request for
information for his preference with computers, without providing anything
useful?

Minimum elevation is a fairly standard parameter in most tracking
programs, including Traksat and PCTrack.  You may not realize this - but
Mac and PC satellite tracking programs both obey the same laws of physics
and spherical geometry.

You could have provided useful information.  Why didn't you?

P.S.  For the record - I use both Macs and PCs - the Mac for applications
where it's better and the PC for applications where it's better.  And my
*personal* preferences are Orbittrack and MacSPOC on the Macintosh, and
Traksat 2.80 on the PC.

PEI, NB, and NS.

I was listening to a radio interview program last night.  The topic
was an expedition made over the last few months to the arctic.  A
group of 6 people walked across the arctic ocean and north pole
from Russia to Canada.  During the show they said that they were
able to communicate via the internet using the Argos and Healthsat
satellites.  I assume that Argos and Healthsat are packet store and
forward birds because only data communications were mentioned.  It
was stated that a "platform" communications system was used.  If
anyone on the list can provide information about Argos or Healthsat
it would be appreciated.  What frequencies are used?  Are they leo
birds.  What form of modulation is used?  Thanks in advance.

Greetings,

This is an attempt to answer some commonly asked questions about the Goddard
Amateur Radio Club's Shuttle Retransmission Activity.  It was composed of bits
and pieces of other documents as well as some new information.  Unfortunately,
I have lost some of the references to other authors who have contributed to
this document.  If you see something in this document that looks familiar,
please let me know so I can give you credit for it.

This document is really a first draft and I expect it will expand.  It can
also be found on GARC's WWW server

Shuttle Retransmission Fact Sheet
by Jim Blackwell, N3KWU
Last Update 06/30/95


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 Mission 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.

It might be a good idea to get Dr Ralph Taggarts Weather sat book revision
4. It is available from the ARRL.  It is the best single source out there.
The radio shack 2004/5/6/? are 75Khz bw in the wide mode.  As you thought,
this is about twice as wide as you want.  It will at least work(as oppossd
to 15Khz nb), but it doesn't work very well.  The extra bandwidth lets in
a lot of extra noise and really trashes the images sn.  I am getting a NOAA
12/14 wx sat station up. I will go on to goes after I get the bugs out of
the "simple" part.  I am using a Pro2004 and am building an add on external
IF.  I brought out the 10.7Mhz and 455Khz if to feed my R2000.  I am going
use the IF chain out of an old commercial wireless microphone.  It has about
45 to 50Khz bw with a fairly good noise floor.  This weekend I will have
a turnstill with the preamp mounted at the antenna.  If you like, I will let
you know if the increased signal(i am presently using a rs diskcone with and
old JFET preamp at the receiver(yeh I know that's not where it belongs))
gives a "good enough" signal to overcome the wide bw sn problem.  I really
expect it not to.
BTW what software are you using?  The JVFAX 7.0 is about the easiest that
I have found. I started out trying to use the SBDSP/IMdisp/APTCAP40 sequence
to record the wx sat pass with my SB, convert the vow(or wav?) to an "raw
binary" image, and then view it.  So far I am missing something.  Everything
goes great up until the viewing part. Oh well, that is a topic for another
post.

well, would a pro-2006 in narrow band mode be wider then an HT?

either way, i have the best set up i can think of OTHER then useing a
cross-pol. yagi w/tracking software :)  thanks anyhow

Hello, name here is Steve.  I was down to St Marys University a couple of
weeks ago to pick up some ham gear for our club.  Although I don't remember
the Profs name, I was shown a whole lot of radio astromony gear.  Im sure if
you contacted St Marys you could find out more.  Its not PEI but is is close.

        Close enough, I say.

While using the Hamcom vco with the simplest converter, JVFAX would lock
up about 1 out of 3 attemps.  I removed all unneeded device drivers,
turned break on,.  It seemed to work best with a smartdrvice cache set up
to sped up disk write(I think the cache allows the cpu to hand off the
disk write to the dma controller).  I was using MSDOS5.0 on a 20Mhz
80386.  I recently got a 4086dx2 66MHz mother board.  I thought that the
higher speed would help.  And it did, a little bit.  I tried XMS, EMS,
DOS HI DOS LOW and anyting else that I could think of.  While going nuts
with this part of the project, I decide to dig out my old A&A wefax demod
board.  Is is designed for NOAA birds and talks via an 8bit a>d..
After nearly giving up on trying to get JVFAX to listen to the A7A via
printer port, I decided to use the printer status bits, they comprise a
5bit input.  Bit 7 has to be inverted!.  With this setup I get 32 levels
of grey.  Even though it was too hot to errect a proper antenna this
weekend, I did get a crossed horizontal dipole array up about 40', with
the preamp at the the top.  I simply have the pipoles paired wiht an
opposing set, I also do not have the proper reflecting elemnets in place
yet.
Even so it is about 20 time better that the diskcone.  I get pretty good
pictures from about 10 degrees above the horizon, with only a few deep
fades as it goes over head.
I have not been able to get more than sync pulse usnig a 15Kc NB mode.
And I have yet to get the SBDSP/APTCAP40 method to work.  I am working
tonight, so I am going to try capturing the a "wav" of the pass.  The
signal is now a lot better than before, so that might be the trick.
The method is to use the SB "vrec." to capture a pass, process the "wav"
file wiht the SBDSP and view the result wiht either RG8 or aptcap40.
I will let you know if anyof this works.
Terry

A friend of mine (Jules, KK6TR) contacted astrounat Don Thomas
(KC5FVF) on Monday, July 17 at about 0850 (PST).  He interchanged call
signs with the astronaut who acknowledged his contact.  As you would
expect he (my friend) was very thrilled and he hopes to get a QSL card
from the SAREX people.  He asked me to ask to this group's community
on the procedure to get a QSL card from this shuttle mission. Anyone
knows the procedure?   Thanks.

Rafael (KE6JSR)

PS:  Jules lives in Oakhurst, CA  (near Yosemite NP).  The total
contact lasted less than 20 seconds, he told me.

Kory:

Your questions are typical of those that everyone asks as they think
through setting up a LEO (low earth orbit) ground station. You are
asking the right questions, so you are on the right track. I have not
tried an eggbeater however I would like to. I would like to find the
perfect LEO, non-az-el-rotor ground station combination. Most "omni"
antennas are not omni in 3 dimensions but in 2. This is fine for
signals coming from the direction of the horison. Of course satellites
don't always come from the direction of the horizon. However their
signal is most attenuated when they are near the horizon. Therefore an
antenna with some more gain on the horizon is benificial. An "omni"
antenna with 8 to 11 db gain will do very well for passes of low
elevation and the low elevation portions of higher passes but will
loose the signal above 40 to 60 degrees even though the satellite has
the strongest signal at this point in the pass. I suppose the egbeater
will perform better at these higher elevations than a gain omni which
will have a gain of less than 1 at high elevations. The eggbeater will
perform poorly at low angles. When setting up a ground station an
important question is "how much of the horizon can I see?". Here in
eastern Tennessee the mountains and high trees can result in much or
little very little view of the horizon. In this case an antenna such
as a quadrifilar helix with a high gain at higher elevations would bea
good choice. In Kansas, or on a mountain top the choice would be
different.

As for preamps, a mast mounted preamp is a must for 70cm. At 70cm the
attenuation even in very good coax is unacceptable if you have more
than a short run of coax. Get a copy of the satellite experimenters
handbook and work some of the antenna/preamp/coax equasions. They are
tedious but very educational.

I have more ideas on the perfect LEO groundstation however I have been
summoned for dinner (and it looks and smells exceptionel) so will
write more if coaxed.

Bruce.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE                                    Page 1 of 1


       Seven young people from the Pinewood Elementary School in
Rotterdam, New York had an opportunity to ask questions of Pilot
Kevin Kregel during a scheduled contact with the space shuttle
Discovery.  The SAREX (Shuttle Amateur Radio EXperiment) contact
between Discovery and the students, gathered in the Schenectady
Museum & Planetarium at a scale mock-up of the NASA shuttles,
occurred Monday, June 17th, at 1453 UTC (10:53 AM EDT).

       Members of the Schenectady Museum Amateur Radio Association,
WB2CRZ, facilitated the nine minute contact through amateur radio,
telebridge, and NASA satellite communications channels.  Hans Van
Der Groendaal, ZS5AKV, near Johannesburg, South Africa served as
the amateur tracking station for the contact.

       Pilot Kregel answered questions from the 5 girls and 2 boys
about living and sleeping in microgravity, energy conservation,
shuttle experiments, mission objectives, and the safety of space
travel.  The students were selected based upon the results of an
essay contest, held this past Spring, and sponsored jointly by the
school and the museum.

       The contact was well covered by the news bureaus of the
three major TV network affiliates, two regional and one local
newspaper, two news radio stations, and the Associated Press.
The STS-70 mission, carrying Kregel, Commander Tom Henricks,
and Mission Specialists Donald Thomas, KC5FVF, Nancy Jane Sherlock-
Curie, KC5OZX, and Mary Ellen Weber is scheduled to land Friday
at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

It might perform better. I used a Microwave Modules transverter with a
10M rig and was very pleased. The UHF all modes tend to be a little
sloppy in the low frequency processing.

It's also a lot cheaper.

well, i hope that yours works, but right now i'm stuck on a ht, jvfax6-7, a
hamcomm demod, and a ground plane....i hope my scanner will work.

now that i think about it....if a get a 1.6GHz to 137MHz converter, will my HT
STILL have enought bandwith?

gezz, might as well, and spend the 600$ on that HF-VHF+ PC card and program
seen in 73 and QST's :)

Don't know.  That was the directory I got it from.  You may like to browse
down the directory one level and find it there.  I can say that, when I
last ftped it, it was in that directory as posted; down one level was the
previous version.

The most current orbital elements from the NORAD two-line element sets are
carried on the Celestial BBS, [phone], and are updated daily (when
possible).  Documentation and tracking software are also available on this
system.  As a service to the satellite user community, the most current
elements for the current shuttle mission are provided below.  The Celestial
BBS may be accessed 24 hours/day at speeds up to 28,800 bps using
8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.

Element sets (also updated daily), shuttle elements, and some documentation
and software are also available via anonymous ftp from archive.afit.af.mil
(129.92.1.66) in the directory pub/space.

Is there someone who can tell me what the close approach frequency
for Shuttle/Mir docking missions is?  I saw a generalized comment
someplace that it is in the 121 Mhz area.

Noah,
   Don't know the level of understanding you've got on these things, so no
offense if I describe this too basic, ok?

   Most starmaps are expressed in a spherical coordinate system.  That is, you
get two angle measurements to describe its position relative to earth.  Some
star catalogs include a distance measurement, and most (if not all) include
star magnitudes ("brightness").  The two angles you get are right ascension
and declination.  These are based in a non-rotating earth-fixed (probably more
accurate to call it solar system fixed, although the difference is pretty much
negligible) coordinate system.  This coordinate system is can be thought of as
a latitude & longitude system for the stars.

   What you can get out of these catalogs is a "celestial sphere", which can
be visualized as a 3D planetarium.  If you're trying to get a spatial starmap
that would show distances away from the earth as well as their angular position,
you might have trouble scaring up a fully populated database (I know some
detailed subsections of the sky have been done).

    You can find varied levels of detail star catalogs at the NASA ftp sites.
Check the sci.space FAQs for their addresses.

Hope this helps,

Andy

               CENTRAL COLORADO REPEATER/ATV BALLOON LAUNCH

The Central States VHF Society is having a meeting in Colorado Springs
on the weekend of July 29-30, 1995.  In conjunction with this event,
EOSS (Edge of Space Sciences) will launch a demonstration flight from
the Navsys Corp. in Monument, CO.


       Region:            Central Colorado

       Date/Time:         July 30 / 9:00 AM MDT, 15:00 UTC

       Location:          Monument, Colorado (20 miles north of
                          Colorado Springs)
       Site Coordinates:  39.09 North Lat.
                          104.87 West Long.
       ATV:               426.25 MHz AM (1 watt output) NTSC color
                          video
       VHF/UHF Repeater:  446.000 MHz FM Input
                          147.555 MHz FM Output
                          (note change as of 7/16/95)
       Beacons:           a) 147.555 MHz carrier from repeater always
                             on; (periodic Morse ID audio on FM)
                          b) 144.34 MHz Morse ID audio on FM
                             (periodic; frequency shared with packet
                             telemetry)
       Telemetry:         144.340 MHz FM (1 Watt output) - AX.25, 1200
                          baud mostly plain english text; includes APRS
                          position data string.
       Foxhunters:        Pikes Peak FM Association, 448.450 MHz
                          (tentative)


The primary payload will be the Rocky Mountain Radio League's
crossband repeater.  In addition, tests will be conducted on the GPS
system's software.  A new cutdown device will also be evaluated this
flight.  It utilizes a pager receiver, retuned for 2 meters,
interfaced with a "basic stamp" microcontroller for decoding DTMF
tones.

This balloon will ascend to approximately 95,000 feet where the
flight will be terminated by sending a cutdown command to the
payload.  The duration of the flight should be around 2 hours with
the balloon reaching its maximum altitude at approximately 1 hour 30
minutes elapsed time.

Reception of both the 2 meter and ATV signals is possible to 400 miles
out and beyond when the balloon gains altitude.  All interested
amateurs in Colorado and bordering states with equipment as simple as
a 2 meter HT are encouraged to listen in for the steady output of the
cross-band repeater on 2 meters with ID, and the ID from the packet
system at 144.34 Mhz.

Automatic Position Reporting System (APRS):

EOSS Shuttle controllers now beacon on the packet telemetry frequency
with an APRS position string.  If you are running APRS you should be
able to graphically track the progress of the flight on the
"CODENVER.MAP" map file.

The Shuttle is not a TNC-equipped packet station.  In order to
minimize possible interference with hams in their areas, all APRS
users tracking the flight should turn off their APRS position beacons
(more packet/APRS info at EOSS web site). Thanks!

The most current orbital elements from the NORAD two-line element sets are
carried on the Celestial BBS, [phone], 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
28,800 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.

Hello all!!

My name is Mike Whaley KD4UGI, and I would like to ask for help from the
readers of this group with a worthy cause. I am a Technical Specialist
with the Astronauts Memorial Foundation at the Center for Space Education
at the visitor's center at the Kennedy Space Center. AMF is a non-profit
independent organization that was originally set up a month after the
Challenger tragedy to honor all U.S. Astronauts who have given their
lives in the line of duty. As a living memorial to them, AMF operates the
Center for Space Education. We basically take the latest in Instructional
Technology (IT)... computers, software, etc... and teach educators how to
incorporate it into today's classrooms. It is quite a comprehensive
program, after an educator goes through a workshop they have been
instructed in everything from basic computer troubleshooting and
repair (hardware and software), the use of software of all descriptions,
and how to use this technology effectively so that really improves the
education of their students rather than sitting unexploited as often happens
at many schools who don't know how to use it. We typically teach three
teachers from every school in a district, right now we focus mostly on
Florida but work in conjunction with NASA education programs and others
so that we see quite a cross-section of teachers from all grade levels,
subjects, and locations. I work on the Instructional Technology
Evaluation Center, which is a large computer lab with 10 Macintosh and 7
PC platforms that allows us to both do training and to allow educators to
"test-drive" all sorts of educationally-related software and determine
its suitability to their needs before spending shrinking budget money on it.
This is a free service open to teachers, and is supported by the
donations of many software and hardware vendors. If you are a teacher and
want more info about any of this, please call AMF at the number below and
we can tell you more details!

I think it is important to point out that even as comprehensive as our
programs are, there is NO COST to the participants, other than the costs
they incur in travel, lodging, and for substitutes at their home schools.
AMF is supported by the funds from the Florida Challenger license plate
program and from private donations. We are not a government agency, we
are entirely independent although we have working partnerships with many
organizations and businesses.

I am posting this to r.r.a.space because I now have a unique opportunity
to start a Shuttle Amateur Radio Experiment (SAREX) station there.  I am
sure that most of you are familiar with SAREX contacts where students get
to ask questions of Shuttle crew members, but in my view it would be even
more useful and lasting to get the teachers fired up about amateur radio,
space, and technology because they can then pass it along to hundreds or
thousands of students. I have approval from the powers that be to do this
project, however, with all the other educational projects that are ongoing
I need to get as many donations of equipment and help as I can before we
think about spending a lot of money. (Ie, only buy things that we can't
get donated or permanently loaned.) As the only ham currently working at
AMF, I am far more familiar with this than my co-workers, although myu
boss does know about it and has seen a videotape of a SAREX school
contact, and is supportive of this project. Basically, I would like to
get a good start (by getting not only equipment but volunteers to assist
with this project) before I push for significant sums of money. I believe
that once we have the capability of making contacts, not just SAREX but
Mir, satellite, and terrestrial, then it will become obvious how valuable
a tool this can be to get teachers interested.

For anyone out there who may be considering donating, remember that this
will be in a very high-visibility location... the KSC visitor's center is
the third most-visited attraction in the state of Florida. So of course,
the publicity value for companies is significant. (We will be sure to
publically acknowledge any assistance given us.) This is in the
formaticve stages right now, I have some ideas about specific equipment I
would like to use but I will consider anything. At minimum, right now we
need a 2-meter radio, a satellite antenna and the associated rotators and
mast, coaxial cable, and an amplifier to put out 150 watts or so if the
radio won't do that. Of course, I envision having a much more
complete/capable station than that, eventually we would like to have a
special event station to commemorate the return-to-flight after
Challenger so a full-blown station is something to look forward to. But
for now, my main goal is showing that this can work, and that should open
up doors and allow it to expand.

Thank you, and please feel free to either e-mail, call, snail-mail, or
visit!

Aloha !

 A while back I saw a post that had a great list of frquencies of all the
birds, and their becons and modes etc. The list also had the formula's for
determining the uplink/downlink values. i.e. MODE B 581.398 - Uplink =
Downlink etc.

Has anyone seen this list, and if so, can they "Re Post" ?

Many thanks !

The power supply is another 16,000 :-)

My 100 mW Gunn Oscillator cost $100 new.  That's $1 a milliwatt.  Sheesh, now I
know why HF is so fun...

Cool!  This saves me having to ask the question <G>  I'm thinking of writing a
space-exploration game, and it would be REALLY cool to have all the real stars
acurately represented (say, within 100 light years of earth at the very least.)

can anyone give me a rough guestimate of the number of stars with 100-1000 light
years of earth?

Pictures, photos, drawings, software, books, experience.
Anything will be much appreciated. I can send back everything !
Thanks in advance.

I just had a thought - how about using two antennas. One higher gain
for the lower elevations, the second with 0 to some gain at the
higher elevations.

The antennas could be either be combined (phased appropriately to give
the pattern and coverate you are looking for), or using some
simple logic and a pin diode swith at the receiver, switch between
the antenna with the "best" signal.

Problem of course is that the antennas need to be circularly
polarized ... and combining two circularly polarized antennas
would probably look pretty weird;-) (I'm thinking of a
quadrafilar stuck on top of two 3 element circular polarized
yagis, that are mounted at 90 degrees:-)

the "General Catalogue of Trigonometric Parallaxes (1991)" that came on
my ADC CDROM contains 253 stars with a parallax in excess of 0.1 arc seconds.
that is, less than 10 parsecs in distance.  if this stellar density is
scaled out to 300 parsecs (about 1000 lightyears), you get 6.8 million
stars.  the real number could be quite a bit higher.

No, what you saw was a sim.  They are testing Fast scan on non-ham freq.
(something called ground to air tv).  Something we have done already.
(Except theirs is compressed).

SAREX is not scheduled until STS-74.

The most current orbital elements from the NORAD two-line element sets are
carried on the Celestial BBS, [phone], 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
28,800 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.

Summary: Where can I find out when Polar Sats are On/Off?
Keywords: NOAA LEO WXSAT
X-Newsreader: Trumpet for Windows [Version 1.0 Rev B]

Does anybody have a source for information about which polar weather
satellites are operational?  E.g. NOAA-9 appears to be off right now.  I saw
no notice anywhere that NOAA was turning it off.  I would like to find some
place on the net that publishes this kind of information for any and all polar
weather satellites.  Thanks in advance for the help.

:The frequencies listed do no necessarily have to be within the amateur
bands.

Generally speaking, the frequencies up to about 70 MHz are best. This
includes
frequencies usually considered HF such as 28 MHz. But there are a *lot* of
variables to consider - it also depends on what you are trying to
accomplish.
