Asunto: Ayuda recepcion PicoGlobo WSPR

Amigos,

El 18 de Enero se lanzo desde V.Gesell el picoglobo LU1ESY, ya fue recibido en Antartida, Namibia, S.Africa, Madagascar, Australia, Tasmania y Nueva Zelandia, esta en medio del Pacifico, de proseguir el vuelo estaria volviendo a Sud America este sabado/domingo.

Sus 25 gramos emiten 25mW en 20m cuando lo ilumina el sol, de haber estaciones que reciban WSPR en nuestro continente y suban sus capturas, tendremos oportunidad de continuar sabiendo donde esta.

Es por esto que Amsat-LU pide y agradece que por un par de dias haya estaciones recibiendo WSPR 20m.

El programa WSPR de facil instalacion se puede obtener desde
http://amsat.org.ar/wspr.exe .

Si lo instala y conecta el audio de la SBlaster (preferible galvanicamente) a la salida de audio de su receptor en 14.095.6 USB ya esta recibiendo WSPR (tener actualizado el clock de su PC).

Luego de poner sus datos (Station Parameters) se sugiere marcar 'upload spots' para enviar a wsprnet lo recibido y seleccionar tiempo de transmision en 0 (Tx %) para evitar emitir por radio y asi tener mas chance de recepcion.

AO-92


AO-92 Abierto para uso de Radioaficionados

info: https://www.amsat.org/ao-92-commissioned-open-for-amateur-use/

On the 03:25 UTC pass on January 26, 2018, AMSAT Vice President - Engineering Jerry Buxton, N0JY, announced that AO-92 had been commissioned and formally turned the satellite over to AMSAT Operations. AMSAT Vice President - Operations Drew Glasbrenner, KO4MA, then declared that AO-92 was now open for amateur use.

Initially, the U/v FM transponder will be open continuously for a period of one week. After the first week, operations will be scheduled between the U/v FM transponder, L-Band Downshifter, Virginia Tech Camera, and the University of Iowa's High Energy Radiation CubeSat Instrument (HERCI).

Schedule updates will appear in the AMSAT News Service Weekly Bulletins and will also be posted to the AMSAT-BB, AMSAT's Twitter account (@AMSAT), the AMSAT North America Facebook group, and the AMSAT website at https://www.amsat.org/satellite-schedules/

AO-92 was launched on the PSLV-C40 mission from Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, India on January 12, 2018. For the past two weeks, the AMSAT Engineering and Operations teams have been testing the various modes and experiments on board. Testing has shown that both the U/v FM transponder and L-Band Downshifter work very well. The Virginia Tech camera has returned stunning photos and data from HERCI has been successfully downlinked.

AMSAT thanks the 178 stations worldwide that have used FoxTelem to collect telemetry and experiment data from AO-92 during the commissioning process. The collection of this data is crucial to the missions of AMSAT's Fox-1 satellites. Please continue to collect data from AO-85, AO-91, and AO-92.

RADIO PROGRAMMING CHART
Fox-1D Doppler Shift Correction

Memory 1 (AOS)     - TX 435.340 MHz (67.0 Hz Tone), RX 145.880 MHz
Memory 2 (Rise)    - TX 435.345 MHz (67.0 Hz Tone), RX 145.880 MHz
Memory 3 (TCA)     - TX 435.350 MHz (67.0 Hz Tone), RX 145.880 MHz
Memory 4 (Descend) - TX 435.355 MHz (67.0 Hz Tone), RX 145.880 MHz
Memory 5 (LOS)     - TX 435.360 MHz (67.0 Hz Tone), RX 145.880 MHz

The L-band experiment will use 1267.350 MHz uplink with 145.880 MHz downlink. UHF and L-band uplink operation are set by the command stations; the operating schedule will be posted.
