AO-40

The AO-40 team plans to test the S1 and S2 receivers with the K-band downlink on Sunday, February 23rd from MA 162 to 170 ( UTC ~19:26 to ~20:01.

This will necessitate switching OFF the S2 Tx during this time.

As is currently scheduled each orbit, the S2 Tx will be on, beacon only, along with the K-Tx during the 160 to 162
window.

However from 162 to 170, the S2 Tx will be off and only the S1 and S2 receivers, plus beacon, will be connected to the K-Tx. Stations with K-band reception are invited tomonitor the tests. Normal passband operation should resume after MA 170.

If weather or technicalproblems are prohibitive, we will
reschedule. Because this is a single event test, the N-blk will not be modified to reflect this test.

– –W4SM for the AO-40 Command Team.

Svensk DX-pedition till Svalbard

Frn SSA-bullen saxar jag fljande:

—
Tre medlemmmar ur Stockholms lns FRO-frbund, SL0ZS, blir aktiva frn JW/Svalbard mellan den 23 februari och 1 mars. Anropssignaler blir:
JW/SM0BSO Peter Rosenthal (SSB, digitala moder, teknisk support)

JW/SM0LQB Stellan Wersn (SSB, satellit) JW/SM1TDE Eric Wennstrm (CW, RTTY)

Det blir aktivitet p alla band 160-2m, CW/SSB/RTTY samt andra digitala moder. P CW hittar ni oss 2 kHz upp frn respektive bandkant, p SSB runt de vanliga DX/IOTA-frekvenserna. Vidare blir det aktivitet p satelliterna
AO-7, UO-14, FO-20 samt FO-29. En station kommer kontinuerligt passa 50 MHz.

Vi passar 14150 kHz SSB dagligen kl 1100z fr SM. QSL via respektive hemmacall, byr eller direkt.

Mer information finns p vr hemsida:

PC SAT

PCsat is still working just fine in the afternoons and early evening.

AND in about a week she will be entering a two week period of full sun and therefore full operations at any time it is in view, so if you plan any special travels or events,PCsat should work fine for you.

And since We put it up there for fun, and we have no real pressing need to run the GPS, we may even allow some BBS activity. PCSAT has two fully functional BBS s (just like ISS), but since they are so much less efficient than UI
digipeating, they were never part of the PCSAT mission
and we never planned on using them. But if someone has a special event or experiment they would like to try, let us know.

PCSAT has amazed us, because with the loss of 16% of its solar arrays on launch, it runs into a negative power budget most of the time, and so it has been deep-cycling its NICD s to near zero volts every orbit, 14 times a day, for over 5000 cycles. yet when it is in the sun, it is alive.This will cease as soon as one of the cells shorts or reverses, so use her while you can, she wont last long…..(knock on wood)….
