SO-50 SAUDISAT-1C
Catalog number: 27607
Launched: December 20, 2002

Status: Operational.

Uplink: 145.850 MHz (67.0 Hz PL tone) (See below for operating
procedures)
Downlink: 436.795 MHz

Mode and Antenna Polarization:
V: Linear
U: Linear

Official Webpage: http://saudisat.kacst.edu.sa/index.shtml
(not up and running currently)

To switch the transmitter on, you need to send a CTCSS tone of 74.4 Hz.
The
order of operation is thus: (allow for Doppler as necessary)
1) Transmit on 145.850 MHz with a tone of 74.4 Hz to arm the 10 minute
timer
   on board the spacecraft.
2) Now transmit on 145.850 MHz (FM Voice) using 67.0 Hz to PT the
repeater
   on and off within the 10 Minute window.
3) Sending the 74.4 tone again within the 10 minute window will reset
the 10
   minute timer.

Bob, WB4APR, reports that the Xbaud - PSK31/CW repeater experiment has
been
activated. Bob reports that you need to connect to pcsat2 and then you
can
tranmit on 29.401 Mhz and listen on 435.275 for your signal. Reports are
that
you will probably need at least 100+ watts of power on 10m to make it
work.
Currently, Henk, PA3GUO, has tried with only a 100 watts and a dipole
without
any luck so far.
[ANS-WSR wishes to thank Bob, WB4APR, and Henk, PA3GUO, for this weeks
