There are reports of Strong to No signal from Suitsat this weekend. Most
of
the ones reporting getting strong signals are stations with high gain
antenna
set-ups.

There are also reports that the ISS has setup their crossband repeater
to re-
transmit from 145.990 to 437.800 to help those that would like to hear
what
Suitsat sounds like.

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

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

There have been unconfirmed reports on the amsat-bb remailer that SO-50
has
shifted downlink frequency as much as 5khz up. This both from Europe.

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.

AO-7 AMSAT OSCAR 7
Catalog number: 07530
Launch Date: November 15, 1974

Status: Operational until March 14th 

Uplink:     145.850 to 145.950 MHz CW/USB Mode A
            432.125 to 432.175 MHz CW/LSB Mode B

            435.100 MHz
           2304.100 MHz

AO-7's orbit no longer goes into eclipse, so it is operating on a 24
hour
timer that changes the mode schedule at approximately 0900z each day.
The
timer alternates the satellite's operational mode between Mode A and
Mode B.

Please use QRP when operating on AO-7!  There are no batteries, and
excessive
power may cause unexpected behavior and possibly damage the satellite.
Mode
B users are likely to experience a Mode change from Mode B to Mode C if
the
buss voltage drops.  This will be marked by a decrease in signal
strength
from AO-7 due to the lower power of Mode C.

AO-7 is expected to remain on this schedule until approximately 14 March
2006
at which time it will re-enter a period of eclipse on each orbit.

This from Clive, G3CWV:

Users of OSCAR-11 may be interested in recent additions to my website.
Firstly UCAP, this is a simple OSCAR-11 capture program for Windows, and
may be used instead of CTERM. It features an accurate time stamp
facility,
which is useful for checking the satellite's real time clock.

Secondly, the news and telemetry archives have been updated to include
all
the 2005 data.  The URL is http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/clivew

During the period 14 December 2005 to 23 January 2006 the VHF beacon on
145.826 MHz. has been heard from 23 to 31 December and from 11 to 21
January.

Signals during the December passes were very variable. Sometimes
received at
good strength, at other times they were inaudible , even with the BFO
switch-
ed ON (ie. in CW mode). Signals during the January passes tended to be
much
stronger, and good copy was obtained on most passes.

The on-board clock continues to accumulate a very large error. On 21
January it was 22.14 days slow, having lost 0.33 days (8 hours) since 09
December. However, the rate of change of clock error appears to vary
between
zero and half an hour per day, over short periods. The greatest changes
seem
to correspond with poor signals, which suggests that the clock may slow
or
stop when the battery voltage is low.

All the analogue telemetry channels, 0 to 59 are zero, ie they have
failed.
The status channels 60 to 67 are still working.

The satellite is now in continuous sunlight until around 06 May, when
eclipses will start again. This should help the satellite to continue
transmitting, although continuous sunlight can cause problems due to
excessive temperatures. Power supply problems can be caused by poor
pointing attitude, ie the sunlight illuminating the ends of the
satellite,
instead of the solar arrays.

The watchdog timer now appears to have resumed operation on the 20 day
cycle, ie. approximately ten days ON followed by 10 days OFF. However,
at
any time, poor solar attitude, and battery problems, may result in a low
14
volt line supply, which may cause the beacon to switch OFF prematurely,
and
reset the watchdog timer cycle.

The Beacon frequencies are -

VHF 145.826 MHz.  AFSK FM  ASCII Telemetry

UHF 435.025 MHz.  OFF

S-band 2401.5 MHz. OFF

Listeners to OSCAR-11 may be interested in visiting my website which
contains an archive of news & telemetry data. It also contains details
about using a soundcard or hardware demodulators for data capture.
There
is software for capturing data, and decoding ASCII telemetry.  The URL
is
