I am looking at an older radio that has Sat capability but works only,
116-150Mz and 225-400Mz, Is there any Bird I work using AM/FM? They make
a good antennae for it but I don't want to invest unless 3D or something
else might let me use it.

                                         Thanks [e-mail]

I just worked R0MIR as the MIR space station passed over the USA during the
0700 UTC pass. I talked with Alexander and we had a nice long QSO. KC5TZQ
was busy with an experiment at the time. Alexander told me the conditions
are nice and warm on MIR. Temp between 70 and 75 degrees F and they have
having lots of fun.

Hello to all,

I've just upgraded my old 286 (finally..!) with a brand new computer
running Windows95. On my piece of antique I was using STSOrbit and
Traksat for my modest satellite activity (RS satellites and NOAA
reception). With my new machine I'd like to use a satellite tracking
program that works under Windows. I've been told about Logsat and
WISP. Has anyone out there had any experience with them? Do you have
any others you can suggest? I'm looking for either shareware programs
or commercial ones (if they are worth the price). Any comments are
welcome!

Is the packet system aboard MIR left on during voice QSO's ?

I keep hearing packet while voice is being sent from MIR and am not
sure if the packet is from a ground station or MIR.

I would THINK they'd turn the TNC off while making voice contacts!

Any info on this would be appreciated

        Around 0650MST 6-OCT-96 I went outside in the middle of the
        city of Fort Collins, CO (home of WWV!) with my HT to listen
        to MIR.  Sure enough KC5TZQ (Blaha) was talking about the
        Yankees and the Orioles wist someone.  My prediction program
        reported the maximum elevation during this pass would be 11
        degrees.  I thought there was no way I could see Mir since
        it would be too low and the lights of the city would disallow
        me.  But, about 70 degrees inclination, I saw it!  It was a
        rectangular shape with an orangish glow, took maybe 20 seconds
        to sweep across the area I could see (between two buildings).
        Every satellite I have seen was like a small moving star, but
        this thing was HUGE!
        Blaha also spoke with a person in Minneapolis, mobile!

        Neat experience! :)

Typical output power for a LEO satellite is in the single-digit Watts area.

The output power of the RS 10 /11 and the RS12/13 satellites
on the 10m HF band is about 5 Watt PEP into a dipole.
(That's the total power of the transponder+beacon)

The beacons are 0.45 W in low and 1.2 W in high power mode.

As RS15 is concerned here is an info provided to me by RA3AT
one of the members of the RS-Group in Moscow:

>TX output power of RS-15 are 1.5 - 2 times lower then RS-10. You
>may try use more power on Earth side, but RS15 output power limited up to
>aprox. 0.4 watts per each 4kHz subpassband by AGC system (at present time
the
>beacon output is 1.2 wtts). Total output power is sum of beacon and ten
>subchannels of transponder (1.2w + 0.4w * 10 = 5.2w). RS-15 is small
satellite
>(70 kg) and have limited DC power supply. (RS-10/11; 12/13 - 2000 kg.)
>Our Congratulations to you, Best Wishes and Happy New Year with RS15!
>73, Leo, ra3at, RS-group, Moscow.

So far the RS satellite information.....

Good luck and enjoy satelliting !

It's not as easy as you think. Suppose you're using Oscar 10 (cat #14129).
The elements have become 15  days old, so you update them. The kep file
you're using is different than the one you used previously. This one call
the same satellite AO 10 (again cat #14129). What should the program do
now?

1- Keep the satellite identified by #14129, and change the name from Oscar
10 to AO 10. But in this case, if you're used to tracking a satellite
called Oscar 10, you see it disappear from the database.

2- Keep the satellite identified by #14129, and change the name of the
satellite being read from AO 10 to Oscar 10. This way though, you will be
stuck with whatever name is in the keps file the first time ever that keps
are read.

3- Since the cat # is unique, it could insert the new name AO 10, and at
the same time update the data for Oscar 10. This way you have both Oscar 10
and AO 10 in the database. But since the elements have the same age, you
can not use the option to remove sats with older keps, and you will always
have a double satellite in the database. This might be better and cause
fewer problems for beginners, but once you figure out what's happening with
the double name business, you'll get tired of having double sats in there.
Remember that this also happens for NOAA 10, NOAA-10, NOAA10 etc.. You
would constantly have double, triple names in there everytime you update.

4- Leave the Oscar 10 with its older keps alone, and import the AO 10 with
updated data. Now you have both satellites in there. You won't see your
Oscar 10 being updated, but there is an AO 10 with fresh data. The old
Oscar 10 will be erased if you select to remove older satellites. This is
how things work now, but it is by no means a perfect choice. We had to
choose between the four, and we selected this one.

We will not use the cat# to identify satellites, even though this uniquely
identifies them, because names are much more clearer to humans than
numbers. There is endeed the problem of different names for the same
satellite, but this is a minor one compared to the one we'd be having if
the satellites were identified by numbers. It's the same on the internet.
The computer Logsat's home page is on is identified uniquely by
206.103.128.30. This number is meaningless to humans. So we assign it
names. In this case it's www.logsat.com, but also florence.netwide.net.
Here as well two names for the same number. Once you understand how it
works, it's less of a pain than numbers.

Rob,

<<<
When the user browses through a list of satellites, show him the object
numbers and associated names as they appear in the current keplerset.
When he selects one of these objects for future tracking, write only the
object number to his configuration file, not the name.
>>>

Again, we will not display satellites by catalog number. Numbers are not
made to be understandable by man, that's why we also assign NAMES to the
satellites. If you're a ham and you're tracking ao13 & rs-12 & rs-15 &
ko-25 & noaa10 & noaa14, or if you're in the navy and are tracking gps-bi01
& gps-bi02 & gps-bi03 & gps-bi04 & gps-bi05 & gps-bi06, or you're in
telecommunications and you're tracking Gorizon-14 & Intelsat-601 &
Intelsat-602 & Intelsat-603 & Telstar-401 & Telstar-402, etc...  you're not
going to know the satellites by catalog number, you're going to recognize
them by NAME. Logsat will thus use names to identify satellites.



<<
Whenever the satellite is being tracked, read the elements from the current
keplerset by object number, and display the name found.
When the name in the keplerset changes, so does the name on the display.
>>

We can't do this: You are used in seing AO13 in the list of selectable
satellites. You change your source of keps, update and.... your familiar
AO13 disappears from the list. A new Oscar13 instead appears at the end of
the list, but you won't know unless you dig in the list.



<<
When updating keplersets by adding additional data, only use the object
number for identification of data.  Don't look at the names, but just
write the names in the keplerset file just as the other data is written.
You will never have a double name because each object number can be present
only once, and can have only one associated name.
>>

You will not have double names, but will have familiar names which might
disappear.



LogSat is not only used by people like you and I, who know what catalog
numbers are, but also by several users who don't know what they are, and
don't want to know. All they need is to track their gps-bi03, or their
Eutelsat 1. LogSat tries to be as user friendly as possible, and one of the
things necessary to do so is to use names rather than numbers.

Notes
-----
1.  NORAD Catalog Number is also known as U.S. Space Command (USSPACECOM)
    object number and NASA catalog number.
2.  No orbital plane position = satellite no longer operational.
3.  Clock:  Rb = Rubidium; Cs = Cesium.
4.  Selective Availability (S/A) had been enabled on Block II satellites durin
g
    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 (A-S) 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.  A-S was turned off on all satellites at 20:00 UT on 95-04-19 an
d
    back on on 95-05-10; off again between 95-06-19 and 95-07-10; and between
    95-10-10 and 95-10-31.  A-S has been off on PRN28 since 95-02-21.
6.  PRN number of SVN32 was changed from 32 to 01 on 93-01-28.
7.  The active clock on PRN01 was switched from a Rb to a Cs between 96-08-16
    and 96-08-22 (ref. USNO and NANUs 134-96229 and 141-96234).
8.  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.
9.  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
    other published dates for "deactivation".
10. PRN16 will be moved from the E-3 slot to the E-5 slot to make room for
    PRN10.  An orbit maneouvre was carried out on 96-08-19 (ref. NANUs
    120-96204, 137-96232).
11. PRN20 hs been unusable since 15:18 UT on 96-05-10 and will not return to
    service (ref. NANU 118-96204).  Cause of failure: loss of 3-axis
    stabilisation.  PRN20 was moved out of the B-2 slot to make room for PRN30

    (ref. NANU 162-96256).
12. PRN28 has been moved from the C-2 slot to the C-5 slot, about 40 degrees
    away.  This move, which was initiated on 96-03-06 by lowering the orbit of

    PRN28 by about 6 km, made way for PRN03.  PRN03 is a backup for PRN28 whic
h
    has some undisclosed equipment problem.  PRN28 will remain on the air, wit
h
    some subsystems shut down to conserve power (ref. NANUs 045-96066, NANU
    068-96100, and GPS World Newsletter).  The move was completed on 96-08-23
    (ref. NANUs 127-96236 and 144-96236).
13. PRN30 (SVN30) was launched on 96-09-12 at 08:49 UT.  It achieved initial
    usable status on 96-10-01 at 15:28 UT (ref. NANUs 162-96256 and 171-96275)
.
14. Announced date of next scheduled launch: 97-01-13 (first Block IIR
    satellite).

 RS-12 AOS and LOS seems to be about 10 minutes earlier than
my KEPS (TLE876) indicate. The computer clock is correct.
The old KEPS are about 10 minutes fast too.
 Is there something wrong with the KEPS? What else could it
be?

     You are ABSOLUTLY RIGHT...I should know better than to read the
newsgroups before I've had my first cup of coffee...
Sorry about the mixup.

     Regarding the RIG web pages, it would be nice to have an index of
the articles in the RIG Journal. There is a lot of good info there.

The other night, 10/8 about 3am est, a MIR post was read over
the air discussing a 9600 baud paket frequency set. The
frequency's mentioned were 437.975/435.775, and 437.925/435.725
 with a pl 141.3 (which I  monitor every pass and have heard
nothing). I know about the later but not the former. Anybody
know anything about this ?  If anyone hears anything on either
set let me know.

I do not think so.  MIR does not track that way. It moves toward the East
around the world, not West.

I have used FTV and had good results through an 8bit "value" SoundBlaster.
Currently I use WXSat(by Christian Bock).  WXSat is a windows based program.
you can find it at "http://www.ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/hffax"
(I think the WWW belongs in there).
JVFAX 7.0 has a "simple" front vco front end for the uA741 "converter".
It has been awhile since I built it but I think it used the EXAR 2201
ic. The "front end" has an isolation transformer, a full wave bridge
and the vco.  Worked pretty good.  But regardless of what demodulator
program (either hardware or software) you have to have a good clean signal
(ie good antenna with a preamp) and the reciever should have the proper
IF bandwidth.  While I got results that were good enough to keep me going
with a diskcone, and a stock Pro2004 (in the wfm mode), adding an antenna
designed for 137.5(with an ancient but good MOSFET preamp) and adding
and outboard IF strip (to get the proper bw) made the difference between
day and night.  Even with a good clean signal, if the BW is too wide, your
signal still has a poor signal to noise ratio.  (this shows up as "grain"
and compressed grey scale).
If JVFAX 7.1 does not have the VCO front end, email me and I will try to dig
the diagram out of my archive( a fancy name for the mess that passes as my
"library") and send it to you via email.  JVFAX 7.0 has a transfer curve for
the front end and it is pretty linear.  I did not expect it to work, but it
was so simple that I had to try.  By adding a DPDT swith to the output of
bridge I had a way to instantly invert the "video".
BTW a proper antenna need not be expensive.  My first 137.5 antenna
consisted of 2 dipoles (mounted at right angles) connected directly to the
preamp. (with no phasing harness)  The phasing harness helped reduce the
"nulls" in the overhad pass.
Terry
As always, your mileage may varry.....

For the original Motorola hand held cellphones. Probably could be converted to
 newer models.
New in the box never used. All packing/accesories/etc. Mounts handleld in car.
Was $500 when new. I'll accept any reasonable/best offer. How about $100???

    A connect to Mir's PBBS is:    C R0MIR-1. To disconnect type b or d. Do
not try a connect while someone is still connected, it can only handle ONE
connect at a time. Wait until you see a DM then go for it, FAST!
If you do get in type SP R0MIR, then your message. Wait for a message number
back.

To connect to the keyboard it's:    C R0MIR but don't expect a response back
from around 2000 to about 0500, most of the time they are asleep.
Good luck!

Tom

Hi all,

 I would like to know if there is a way to extend the UHF band of
IC-820/821 Icom radios.

 I do know VHF band is capable to receive 136-150 MHz, but nothing about
UHF.

 Thanks in advance

 Rafael

Overhearing the AMSTA UK net today it was reported that a message from
MIR stated that they now work on GMT(UTC) and go to bed at 22.00GMT

not sure what time they get up though.

        Thanks for posting his call.  I was not sure what it was.  I
heard him talking about his daughter in Indiana or something like that
during a pass early Friday A.M. around 2:40am EST

        Who is John?  I guess he is an american onboard MIR???

Also ... what is the QSL information for MIR....I connected and left a
hello message via packet on ROMIR.

Also what is the UHF frequencies for MIR and what are they supposed to
be used for.

John's daughter goes to Purdue University in Indiana.

John Blaha is an extremely experienced astronaut with four previous
shuttle missions, plus his ongoing stay aboard Mir.  He's been there
about a month now.  In January he is scheduled to be replaced by
astronaut Jerry Linenger.

>Also ... what is the QSL information for MIR....I connected and left a

Dave Larsen, N6JLH, is the US Mir QSL manager for contacts made with Mir
crew members. QSL cards must include date, time, and mode of contact.
Cards
for SWL reports will not be handled by Dave. If a contact is made with
the
Mir packet radio personal message system (PMS), then the message number
issued by the PMS should be included on the QSL card.

QSLs must be sent along with a business-sized self-addressed stamped
envelope (the card will not fit in a regular-sized envelope).

QSLs should be sent to:
David G. Larsen, N6JLH
PO Box 1501
Pine Grove, CA 95665
USA

I'd like to get some info on working microwave EME.  (Yeah, I know, EME is
not as easy as it sounds.)

What would it take to use the microwave band(s) with EME?
How much power would I need?
Is the equipment readily avalible?

Please reply via e-mail.

Thanks,

Craig

Dear all,

PLease if anyone knows of any info in web pages, ftp sites etc etc that is
relevant to mobile antenna construction for MIR monitoring I would be most
pleased to hear from them. I have 2 books on antennas but more towards HF
amateur band antennas. English amateur books are almost non-existant here
too. I'm thinking of some alternative design to 1/4 wave construction. Any
ideas people ????? Also thinking about constructing some kind of 10m mobile
whip.

Thanks alot for time.

If you have information on modifications for putting the TS-711A, or
the TS-811A so that they will work at 9600 baud, I would sure like to
hear from you!

It looks like some ninny at UCSD has decided to do us all the favour of
preparing a "Daily Digest" of this NG.  While such a digest may be useful
to those who don't actually gt th NG, the digest is actually beeing posted
back to r.r.a.s!

This mans that all NG articles re-appear a few days later in the "daily
digest" and now, the digests themselves are apparing in later digests!

I've sent several pieces of e-mail to various addresses @ucsd.edu to no
avail. True, I could just stick an entry in the kill-file, but surely
there's a better way?

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I am trying a demo copy of NOVA and I like some of the features, but don't
like other when I compare it to Instant Track.
Likes:
1. I like the multiple sat tracking and also you can pick the groups of
SATs that you want to track.
2. Set up is very easy and it works nicely with the Win95 OS.
3. Kep updates are as easy as Instant Track., even easier since it is point
and click.

Dislikes.
1. No doppler shift readout.
2. Readout on screen is too small to read easily, unless you sit at the
computer. Instant Track has uses much bigger fonts.

Other things.
I like NOVA and with the demo it seems to setup for my Yaesu 5400b az./el
rotor and work under Win95. Very easy setup. Instant Track seems to have
some problems with WIN95 for rotor control setup.

I'm not sure if this program will be able to use the tuning controls to
tune radio for doppler. I do not see any input setting for beacon freq. and
no doppler readout. If this is the case, might be I've missed it, then the
program might not be all that useful for PacSats.

With the readout so small, If you are across the room form the monitor, you
might miss information if you are doing a manual track with rotor.

I hope this helps some 73

All I can say is Nova all the way! I have tried them all, and nothing
beats nova.

A demo copy of Nova is available from my web page if you want to try it.

You are asking for a long, long dissertation.
it is possible, it is not easy.
Most of the time that people get connected they simply blow the pass for other
 people.

first it is possible to connect with five watts and decent settings on your tn
c
second  it is not possible to (most of the time) to continue the connection du
e to qrm(m=manmade).
third  if you get connected and can't get an acknowledgement packet back you t
ime out the tnc making it
         impossible for anyone else to connect usually for the rest of the pas
s. (The way the cosmonauts have the
         tnc set now it times out in about 90 seconds) allowing 3 to four time
outs per pass.
fourth the cosmonauts use the tnc to communicate with people on the ground (so
 jamming up the tnc with messages to
         your neighbor next door constantly becomes a problem for them). Pleas
e remember it is their tnc how would you
         like your mailbox filled with junk for your neighbor.
fifth  when the packet is running and Mir is over the US is the only time anyo
ne has a chance to work Mir, so
        obviously the limited availability is a problem for everyone..
sixth  when someone is connected to the PMS sending constant requests to conne
ct or jamming up the frequency with
         constant beacons or calling on voice (while the cosmonauts are asleep
) or digipeating to your next door neighbor
         or beaconing aprs info constantly, IS CAUSING INTERFERENCE BY THE FCC
 DEFINITION.
seventh  Everyone is entitled to contact the Mir space station's Personal Mess
age Service. and the Cosmonauts and
         the astronauts love to hear from everyone, and it would be possible f
or all to leave messages, EXCEPT FOR THE
         CONSTANT INTERFERENCE.
eighth  WITHOUT CONSTANT INTERFERENCE anyone with 50 watts and a ringo ranger
would be able to connect, leave
          a message, get a listing, and perhaps even get a message from an ext
ra terrestrial..
ninth  since the availability of the space station's pms is so short. please r
espect other people's wishes and make your
         connect quick, and get it over with ( it isn't always possible due to
 shifting polarization, qrn, etc) but don't list the pms
          several times, read and reread the same message several times over,
read everything in the box, get the Mheard listing
         several times, etc ( I know some of you hams aren't as nasty as the n
ewsgroups imply)
tenth  Operate wisely.. watch for someone to disconnect, (log out), timeout, b
efore trying to connect, (you can't connect while
           someone is in the mailbox) and be quick when the opportunity arises
. Try to get others you see causing interference to stop.
          Try to use your radio responsibly.
           Learn how packet operates and make sure your station is set up to r
eceive and transmit to weak stations, find a
          distant packet node and improve your station until it can reliably u
se it, then find one more distant and try it..
eleventh  On voice don't call unless you can hear. I constantly hear people ca
lling for R0MIR when he is busy talking to
          someone.. there is no better way of making sure your call will not b
e called.. The cosmonauts hate interference with
          conversations they are having and several crews have shut the radio
off because of just such INTERFERENCE.

twelfth  Polish up that lucky charm.. because even if you are the best operato
r in the world and have the best station with the
         most power, and have important news for our friends up there, luck st
ill has to be with you.. many many extenuating
         circumstances and external factors cause things to  happen and you mi
ght not make it when you feel you have to.
         Right now I have a message  from Alex and I couldn't get connected to
 get it (I was a nice guy and let someone
         with "traffic" go first) and didn't have enough time to read it after
 I sent my "traffic", and it may be killed before
         I get a chance to read it, but that is the the nature of the beast. D
on't get angry just have eternal patience..
Finally

I know from experience only 4 of 10 people will read 50% of this, and of them
only 1 will listen to what I have said, so that
will leave 9 who continue operating badly, causing interference and  so keepin
g many people from getting the chance to contact
the cosmonauts, the only way I know to help is to personally contact anyone wh
o is causing interference and nicely tell them
that there is a better way to operate, give them assistance,  help them to und
erstand that is is only themselves and the
cosmonauts they are hurting..
Check out my Web page for further information Particularly the Mir files and i
nformation link
Best Regards to you all
Good Luck

No, I figured that the loss of that spacecraft put a kink in the plans,
but I didn't know to what extent.  Does anyone know if the satellite is
ready to go and just waiting to improve the Ariane 5, or are they still
finishing up details on the satellite?
Thanks!

Hi all.

I was just wondering, what the price per pound on the average commercial
companies pay NASA to send their equipment into orbit.
I would think it would vary depending on the type of orbit too.
Does anyone have any facts on this?

Thanks

Ed,

I have worked RS-12 a fair bit during September.  It used 15 m up and both
2 m and 10 down.  I used a 10 m receiver, but people that picked me up on 2
m generally reported a better signal.

BTW - the beacon will usually tell you what mode the bird is in.  try
29.408 (+/- doppler)

   The first set of freqs is Mir packet. There's a 2.2 gig split.
The second set of freqs is voice mode with a 2.2 gig split and 141.3 tone.
I haven't used either yet but I hear the voice repeater has been active.

Does Mir use circular polarization or linear?  If circular, which sense,
right-hand or left-hand? If linear, is there any particular orientation to the

antenna or does it vary?

 Check the August 96 issue of QST.  There is
 an article about Quadrafilar antennas that
 should work for you.

I am finding that the Amphenol connectors I bought for RG8/9913 the center
pin is too small for the center conductor.  Usually I drill these out a bit
and they work just fine - Question - is this killing any of the required
characteristics?

thanks and 73 de Bob.

Since a few month I'm carefully watching AO-13 keplerian elements and as
well reading all postings about AO-13 re-entry into earth athmosphere.

As I understand the elements so far, Re-Entry date will be somewhat
earlier than all predictions by AMSAT etc. (abt 6.Dec 96) saying.

Am I wrong ????
Are there some very new Re-Entry predictions I don't know about ?

As perigee is currently close to 100km, I expect re-entry within the next
week.
But as there were no updated keplers since 6 days - has the bird already
crashed ????

Unfortunately, I currently have no working HAM equipment at all, so I
cannot listen to the beacons and I can't  read any PacketRadio
informations.

Is there anyone out there who can tell me more ?

73s, Joe

AO-13 is still working fine. Reentry prediction date has not changed as
far as I know. The electronic equipment, however, is expected to fail 2 -
3 weeks before actual re-entry. So the time left to use the satellite is
getting very limited. The attitude is still 165, -10. The command stations
have not decided whether to change to 90,0 as had been earlier planned, or
to leave it alone for awhile longer. The keplerian elements from NORAD are
now very much in error, even the latest ones. So you have to expect that
sometimes LOS may come before you expect. And when you hear the beacon
swing your antennas around and peak the signal, as the calculated AZ and
EL may be in error. The beacon is now 145.985 plus or minus Doppler.

I just put up mode B antennas once again (been off satelliting for a
coupla years) to practice up in anticipation of PIIID. The antennas face
pretty much right into a big maple tree to the east. While this never
seemed to pose a problem for mode B, I just realized it may for 1 or 2
GHz operation. Anyone with experience/knowledge in this area? Will the
tree attenuate 1 or 2 GHz signals appreciably? (I'm in oregon, where it
rains a lot too!) If this is the case, I'm
going to have to plan on putting my antennas on a tower to get them much
higher. There are a lot of trees around.

Thanks,

Yes, unfortunately a wet tree in the beam of a UHF/SHF antenna is
gonna make a very noticeable difference.  On AO-13 mode S, I totally
lost the signal when the sat dipped below the pecan tree that was in
the back yard of my old QTH.  When the tree was wet, my uplink on 435
went down appreciably as well when working mode B.  Of course the sigs
from AO-13 on 2.4GHz are REAL weak, so you might get a passable sig
thru the tree under better sig (power/offpoint angle) conditions from
PIIID.

Does any one have any comments or ideas on the best Tx and Rx antennas
for use with on Rs-15. Also we have noticed that Rs10 will stop Tx
about half way through a pass. It acts just like some one turned it
OFF.  Please any ideas.

Conrad,
Do you realize that this scheme is called Wire Fraud and Mail Fraud? Most
everyone else does that reads this crap. ESPECIALLY with such a misleading
title and the fact that it was cross-posted to 10 different NG's! A message
has been sent to your ISP notifying them of your actions, along with copies
to the FCC and US Postal Service. KEEP THIS CRAP OUT OF OUR NEWS-GROUPS!

    IT's still working. They are trying some new software last I heard. I also

hear some of the telemetry isn't always accurate. I wish them much luck with
her, I'd like to see the sat around for a long time.

This is a new use of the WWW that can benefit ham radio operators
throughout the world.

You can now schedule contacts with hams all over the world simply and
easily by using the WWW and e-mail.I have set aside a section of my web
site for hams to post their request for over-the-air schedules. Included
in the posting is a place to list the posters specific ham radio contact
needs (countries, zones,IOTA, grid squares ect...). The postings will also
include an e-mail link that will allow hams that read the posts, to easily
request an over-the-air schedule.

How Can Cyberscheds work for me?

Do you need a certain state to complete a WAS award? Are you just a few
countries away from a DXCC? Are you a QRP operator looking to make
contacts with hams all over the world? Are you a DX station that has grown
tired of the stateside pile-ups on 20 meters? Or are you going mobile into
a hard to work county?

In all the above examples you could have prearranged cyberscheds with
those hams that you want to work. If band conditions are poor just e-mail
the hams you could not work and set up a new schedule.

Cyberscheds are a simple way to have the internet work to the benefit of
hams all over the world.

All posting will stay on-line for 6 months, or until the posting is asked
to be deleted. Below is an example of one cyberpost visit the cyberpost
page and view them all. Below is an example of one of the postings:

Nathan and all.....GPS keps are updated and available from Dr. Kelso:
http://www.grove.net/~tkelso
I assembled all the GPS sats in order in Instantrak so that I might see
which were in view at the time and then compare to my GPS receiver!  It
was a good venture.  Actually, the orbits are so stable that updates
really are not needed often.  Cliff Buttschardt K7RR ex W6HDO

They are, together with many other keplerians, on TS Kelso's FTP site,
which he advertises regularly (also on this group).

Look at archive.afit.af.mil in /pub/space.

Actually Glen all 29 posts were just parts of one picture... seems to me
like it would be a whole lot better to just post a  URL where the picture
could be located. It would certainly save bandwidth and wear and tear on
disinterested recipiants.

Besides, by the time anyone recieved all 29 parts, reassembled and
decoded them the staelite shot would be so out of date as to be useless
for anything but an archive. And there are already several WX satelite
photo archives out there.

I didn't send flames  to Don Mixon's mailbox because I assumed it would
already be full...

But if that sort of thing continues, I for one, will simply drop the NG.
Its just not worth the hassle having to delete 29 posts filled with
outdated trash...

The High Energy Transient Experiment (HETE) Spacecraft is currently
scheduled for launch on October 29, 1996 from Wallops Island on a
Pegasus rocket. Our low rate VHF (137.96 MHz) data transmitter on
board may be of interest to radio hobbyists. This data stream will
be used for spacecraft status messages and to notify astronomical
observers of gamma ray burst positions in real time. This data may
be received with relatively simple equipment.

The planned orbit is ~540 km altitude, 38 degrees inclination. The
other elements depend on the launch date and time. The first
northgoing equator crossing should occur at around 164 degrees east
longitude on the Earth, about 4300 seconds after the release of
Pegasus from the launch aircraft (nominally 1700 UT).

VHF signals will be weak for the first few hours, as the VHF antenna
is stowed with the solar panels, which will not release until we
have adequate control of spacecraft angular momentum.

For information on receiving the VHF data, visit:

http://space.mit.edu/HETE/VHFlistening.html

For general information on HETE, visit:

I believe US hams can send reports to;

N6JLH
POB 1501
Pine Grove, Ca   95665

Enclose report and SASE.

This was good earlier in 96. Don't know if it still is. Maybe
somebody can confirm this.

It works. QSO on the 17th, QSL/SASE mailed on the 22nd and I received a =

Is "information about how make a home made antenna" equivalent to
"antennas for sale" these days?  Sad.

I have no personal experience with meteosat, but I believe it is popular
to use loopyagis, AKA "quad-yagi".
Just a use scaled version of the 23cm example in e.g. the RSGB VHF-UHF
manual.

For more gain, you can stack 4 of them using a suitable combiner, or
use a parabolic dish with a tin-can feed.
UHF-SHF oriented books and magazines have several designs that you can
scale to the correct frequency/wavelength.

If you can get a copy, look in the August 96 issue
of QST for an article on Quadrafilar antennas that
look to be well suited to this application.

Rob,

You may want to read John's sentence again.  I do not believe "they have
info and antennas for sale" is equivalent to "antennas for sale" as you
have asserted.  I read what John says as stating they 1) Have info
presumably for construction,  2) Also have ads for antennas for sale.
And if one is advertised for sale for minimal cost then Victor can make
an informed decision and possibly save time *and* money.

        The quadrifilar is usually used for the 137Mhz NOAA Polar
Orbiters.  The Meteosat (or GOES) antennas are typically 3 - 4 Ft dishes
or Loop-Yagis.

    Hello. I am hoping to find a source of general information about
the Mir space station. Does anyone reading this NG know to where I may
refer for such?  eg. Is there another NG not specific to amateur radio?
Note:- I have no Web browser so am unable to use one of the normal
search engines to obtain any references. Any help will be much
appreciated especially as my daughter has shown an interest after
watching a few of the recent visual orbit passes. TIA.....73.....Brian

I've been trying to make my first satellite contact on RS12 via mode K
(15m up, 10m down) and would appreciate antenna advice for operating
this mode.

For now I'm just using a G5RV in simplex mode. The dimensions of my
yard is something like 80' by 120' I was hoping that I could build
some wire antennas that would help with the fading and be
omnidirectional.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Are those new N connectors that look like PL259's OK.  I have a few and
they pretty easy to work with.  But then again the standard ones now seem
just as easy to use.

Well, I have no data on how well they work, but I've decided I don't
like 'em.  Usually I'm putting Ns on 9913 and with that skimpy spiral
poly dielectric the last thing I want to do is apply heat to solder
the braid.

So I'm back to the old types.  Now, the problem with the old type is
sometimes after I put them on the connector is "loose", that is I can
hold the coax in one hand and the connnector in the other and twist,
and the connector moves.  Connections like this "seem" to work OK
until the connector falls off, but that usually is only a few hours
later.  Sometimes, the connector is on nice and tight and stays that
way.  My question is, what is it I did wrong with the ones that are
loose?

Subject: new Mir frequency

Since November 1 we'll have new frequency on Mir.
xPacket - 145.800
Voice   - 145.800 Rx/145.200 Tx.
These frequencies are recommended us by the International amateur
conference in region 1.
We'll open for contacts on new frequency.

******************************************************************************
I am not really to happy about them switching as I know there are a
lot of APRS people at 145.79 and when doppler is compensated for there
will be substantial interference. The 145.200 freq is also in use by
various digital packet nodes in the region.. be sure to listen on your
transmit frequency to be sure it is not in use before using.. These
frequencies will definitly help out the european community where
145.55 is a common simplex frequency but I am not sure how it will be
taken here or in the rest of the world. It would seem to me that this
push to change frequencies has been well resisted, but now the moment
has come, and we shall all see how this european frequency change
works..
I would invite your opinions in this forum..

Yep. But FM is OK. You don't need a SSB rig.

Yep. HAMs have launched more then 30 (thirty) sat since 1968. Most of them
were active as "crossband repeaters", execpt the early ones. Some are
PacketRadio Mailboxes, some were working in FM (!)
But normally you will have to use SSB. Unfortunately the best one for
Sat-DX (AO-13 or Amsat-Oscar 13) is re-entring theese days :-((

Check  www.amsat.org  for plenty of information !

Ouuuuuu. Satellite operation is a more expensive hobby than having some
girlfriends...........
If you REALLY will use it, you need TRX equipment for 2m, 70cm,
23cm......no limits !
As well you need beams, rotators, pre-ams, computers, interfaces, time,
much time, much more time.

But you cann as well start very liittle - listening HAM operation of
russian SpaceStation MIR or the shuttles etc. Keep watching this group for
information........and check   www.amsat.org

I made my first qso to MIR utilizing a kenwood tr-9130 allmode in the fm mode,


however, from what I have seen, most straight fm rigs have a 5 kc step.
There is some doppler effect that does take place with Mir, as my QSo took
place on 145.54 not 5.55.  With most fm rigs you would have a choice of 5.55
or 5.50 or 5.60.  I would consider an allmode rig.  It gives you the advantage

oof working the sats as well in USB or CW. (plus weak signal work on VHF is
very nice..and a little different).
IMHO you can't go wrong with an all mode rig..something that you can "grow -in

to".
As, your understanding / skill / time / wallet allows.

just my .02 cents.


p.s. you can find good used allmode rigs in the $275-400 range.

I would like to work packet on Mir and any others that are local to me here in

Colorado.  I bought an Icom IC-2000H and it has a modular microphone connector
 on it.
I have 2 questions:

1.  Does anyone have the mic. pin outs for the IC-2000?
2.  What hardware should I buy? (I would like to stay under $300)

Thanks,

   I recommend getting an MFJ TNC/Mic switch box, around $40 and a KPC-3
around $120.

        I use a KPC-3 for packet on my IC-2000H.  The KPC-3 I got used
for $75 and works like a champ.  There is a command that allows the
KPC-3 to operate with squelch open.  The pin outs for the IC-2000H are
in the manual but in case you do not have it.....

        1.   +8V DC output
        2.  Frequency up/down
        3.  AF detector output
        4.  PTT
        5.  GND (Microphone ground)
        6.  MIC  (Microphone input)
        7.  GND
        8.  NC (No connection)

Greetings all, (again)
 I was wondering what the proper protocol was to connect to the Mir
packet station.
Is there a FAQ or a summary sheet somewhere?
Again,  any help would be wonderful.

check my home page folllow a link to files and stuff and read the article by M
iles Mann WF1F it is pretty old but very complete..
watch for a disconnect and try not to cause interference as ham interference i
s the biggest problem in connecting to Mir and sending a

The members of the integration team are interested in expanding awareness
and interest in P3D. We don't always have time to read news group postings
but can often respond to Email to the lab.

Lab visitors are always welcome whenever the lab is open.
Lab Hours are usually 9-6 M-F and 11-5 Sat
Sat is often an organized volunteer day with tasks for all
skill levels.

The Lab is located 2-3 miles south of the Bee Line Toll road off Tradeport
Road which runs along the west perimeter of Orlando International Airport.
Lindy Circle is the first left turn after passing the airport fuel storage
facility. We are in the Free Trade Zone Bldg. to your left as you turn
onto Lindy Circle.

You can expect to see the actual Phase 3D spacecraft in its' clean room,
the full-size functional antenna mockup, payload modules under test and
development, the p3d spin balance test fixture and of course the happy
smiling lab staff (usually happy). Anyone familiar with previous amateur
satellites will be stunned by the size and scope of this effort. For
example p3d will have a wing span of aprox. 21 feet, generate 600 watts of
solar power and weigh around 1100 pounds at liftoff. Older satellites are
spin stabilized which means the hi-gain antennas are pointed at the Earth
only during part of an orbit. P3d is the first 3 axis stabilized craft so
that the Hi-gain antenna farm is always pointed for maximum coverage
except during orbital maneuvering burns of the 400 Newton (aprox 90 lb.)
thrust rocket or the 1 tenth Newton (aprox one ounce) thrust ammonia
arcjet rocket. Band coverage will extend from 10m to 24 gigahertz. The
Japanese SCOPE experiment will down link hi resolution color pictures of
the earth.

Currently Ariane is projecting a launch date around  April 15th 1997.

Hello!
I FINALLY got my tower up!!!!!!!
I was wondering if i should worry about putting my 2m and 440mhz yagis with
the rotors on the top of the tower (30feet) or leave them on the 10 foot
section i have on the side?  Heights are not my favorite thing, and working
with a 40lbs system at 30ft is NOT my idea of fun :)

thanks!!

Hi David,

As long as your sat antennas aren't obstructed by anything, I wouldn't
worry
about it.  What difference could 20 ft. possibly make when the birds are
up
a couple of hundred miles?  Put your 'terrestrial' antennas (like
packet) on
the top!

To answer your other post... yes, there are keps available for the moon.
I've got some around here somewhere if you want 'em.

Hi David!  Height is not important for satellites.  One consideration
might be inteference with locat TV antennas.  Go below or above TV
antennas, unless they are at right angles to your satellite Yagis.  At
right angles, their gain patterns are small.  73

I've finally saved enough money to put together a UHF/VHF multimode
station and would like some opinions on what radio to purchase.
I'm planning on using the station for UHF/VHF contests, packet (incl.
9600 baud), and working the present and future amateur satellites.
As of now I am leaning towards the new ICOM IC-821H, but I haven't ruled
out the TS-790A or Yaesu FT-736R.  Obviously I'd be adding amplifiers
for use during contests and possibly for the satellites, and a 9600 baud
ready capability should be present.
Some of the local hams I have asked have said that using Down East
Microwave transverters with my TS-940SAT is THE best way to go for
contesting, but doesn't give me a satellite or 9600bps packet
capability.

Any Ideas..or experiences with any of the multi-mode radios would be
appreciated..

Thanks & 73's

In the ARRL Keps posted last Tuesday, 24-Oct (ARLK077), the list included
MO-30, which I had not previously seen.  Is this the new designation for
the new Mexican satellite UNAMSAT-B?  I have not seen any information in the
AMSAT Bulletins showing the assignment of "OSCAR 30".  If this is true, can it
be assumed that the "MO" means "Mexican OSCAR"?

Can someone send me applicable frequencies?

Many thanks!

Why?
I think all "the experts" are talking about second week of december
or thereabouts.

You forget to look at the apogee.
For a circular 100km object the expectation would be correct, but there
is still a lot of energy in the object (and less drag) because of the
high apogee.

large binaries in the akr, biz, comp, misc, news, rec, and sci
hierarchies.

I have issued 18 cancels for large binary files (average size 215,818
characters - total size 3,884,723 characters) posted to 14 different
unmoderated discussion groups in the comp, misc, rec, and sci
hierarchies (with cross-posts into alt, ca, and la groups) as follows:
   3 rec.autos.marketplace
   2 sci.engr.electrical.compliance
   2 rec.arts.startrek.misc
   2 comp.sys.ibm.pc.soundcard.tech
   1 sci.electronics.basics
   1 rec.radio.amateur.space
   1 rec.radio.amateur.antenna
   1 rec.pets.cats
        alt.animals.felines
   1 rec.music.phish
   1 comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.cd-rom
   1 comp.music.midi
   1 comp.databases.ms-access
   1 ca.jobs
        la.jobs
        misc.jobs
        misc.jobs.offered

The cancels in non-targeted groups are a consequence of the way
cross-posts work.  A cross-posted article has only one Message-ID.
When it is canceled from one group it is canceled from all groups.

This pointer is being posted to each affected group listed above.
Follow-ups are directed to news.admin.net-abuse.misc.

If you want to see exactly which file was deleted from a particular
group, read the full report in news.admin.net-abuse.announce.  The
full report can also be found in alt.nocem.misc and alt.retromod.
Look for AR677 in the subject, or, if your reader supports it, use
this <URL:news:[e-mail]>

The criteria used to search for this batch of large binaries were:
   NEWSGROUPS: Unmoderated akr, biz, comp, misc, news, rec, or sci
               (except for comp.binaries.apple2, comp.bugs.2bsd,
                and rec.games.bolo)
   BINARY: base64, binhex, uuencode, and xbtoa encoded files, etc.
   SIZE: > 100,000 characters [(size * (# of parts - .5)), if multi-part]

If you must post a binary to Usenet, please post it *only* to an
appropriate binaries newsgroup such as alt.binaries.misc, and do *not*
crosspost it to non-binaries groups.  Then, if you like, post something
in the appropriate discussion group telling people where to find the
binary in the binaries group (a pointer to the binary).  This will
permit news administrators and users to decide for themselves whether
to receive the binary files.

For more information about binary cancels, see the bincancel FAQ,
<URL:http://ursula.uoregon.edu/~geniac/binfaq.txt>.

Please direct public feedback to news.admin.net-abuse.misc and private
feedback to [e-mail].  In the interests of preventing
cross-posted flame wars, please honor the followup-to header and do
*not* cross-post your reply to multiple groups.  Thanks for your
cooperation.

Best wishes,
Dick

The November issue of CQ VHF indicates that FO-12 is transmitting on 10

anyone provide some insight?

There is a lot of decay discussion on SEESAT-L, the Satellite Observer
Mail List.  See below.

I've seen this info on the MIR packet beacon, as well. My question is this:
Is 145.200 MHz THEIR transmit frequency (the downlink) or OUR transmit
frequency (the uplink)?  This aspect of the change is not too clear.  Can
someone authoritatively clear up this question?

Thanks...
