FO-29 rapporteras aktiv igen! bra jobbat av kommandostationen!.
******************************

I got a mail form JARL FO-29 command station.

The JARL FO-29 command station has already known the telemetry shutdown problem.

The command station will try to recondition the batteries.

JTA will be off from 14th Apr for some days.

Please don t get panicky if the FO-29 signal dose not hear. Analog operation will be back soon.

New opportunities to reduce QRM to amateur satellites in Region 1

At the recent meeting of the IARU Region 1 VHF Managers held in Vienna, the subject of QRM to satellites operating in the amateur spectrum allocated to satellites was discussed.

As a result of good work performed by Ib, OZ1MY, we were able to demonstrate both by written log and by .WAV file the QRM that is occurring, especially but not exclusively to 145MHz uplinks and when the satellites are over
Africa and the Middle East.

The IARU Region 1 has a Monitoring Service which has been active for some years but which has, up to now,concentrated on frequencies below 30MHz.

In view of the wide area of QRM that can be caused by satellites relaying signals across many borders, the team has now enthusiastically agreed to add
our problems to their portfolio.

What is needed therefore are regular reports showing the following details which can be usefully backed up by .wav files as these can enable more precise recognition of accents and dialects to be made. This information obviously can aid identification.

Sat Name

AOS/ LOS

Real QRG down(allowing for doppler)

UTC

Day

Month

Mode

Identification

Country or language

REMARKS

(These are really column headings but this does not display very well using plain text !)

The team has good contacts which are already used daily to remove some of the intruders to our bands so we should try to see if similar success can be achieved on VHF and UHF.

The system works generally through national societies so you should send your reports to the MS coordinator of your Region 1 National Society in the first instance.

For the time being could you also please send me a copy as well for information.

In response, I will try to provide everyone with a quarterly report on the MS activities as they apply to our branch of amateur radio!

Hi all,
I listened to SO-50 again tonight – and the frequency changes were there again.

If you use SO-50 you must expect jumps of about 5 kHz up and down.So far it takes some time between the jumps which makes it easy to follow.

Tonight it happened during a QSO with 2E1EUB and we had the same experience.

After my report yesterday I received a couple of reports about the frequency jumping and it seems that it happens both when the satellite is in Sun and when it is in eclipse.
May be it has something to do with the loading (use) of the satellite.

Let us hope it is not a sign of yet another satellite going QRT.Use it as long as it is there 🙂
