I've been busy with collecting doppler-PSK idea's for Ham Radio De Luxe software (HRD).
The good news is that Simon (HRD designer) told me that he is willing to work on this option, so I asume we can expect soon the PSK-doppler correction option in the new HRD versions.
In case you have some idea's for - Hamradio De Luxe (HRD) let us know!
If you do not have experiance with - HRD (or doppler) maybe you know some people who have!!! Please let him (or them) know about the PSK-doppler project! Technical comments in this are welcome! Hamradio De Luxe website: http://hrd.ham-radio.ch/
Please your comments to: isszarya@hotmail.com

We are looking for a volunteer satellite packet
station in Hawaii that is interested in helping withtelemetry and sat-gating of PCSAT2 and
ARISS packets. Requirements are:

1) General familiarity with packet
2) TNC connected to a cross band radio that
can RX on UHF and TX on VHF.
3) modest UHF beam and rotator system.

Thanks

In ISS Mission Control Houston, spacecraft communicator Ken Ham called Krikalev to congratulate him.

"Fly on, Sergei," Ham said.

Mission Control Moscow also saluted Krikalev's achievement, and Krikalev joked in Russian, "You'll have to congratulate me every day from now on."

Krikalev spent his more than two years in space beginning in November 1988 with the start of his first long-duration flight to the Soviet space station Mir. Krikalev did back-to-back increments on his next Mir flight starting in May 1991 and returning to Earth in March 1992. While he was in orbit, the Soviet Union disintegrated and Mir became a Russian space station

100th Birthday from Space

On September 1st 2005 Alberta Canada will be cellabrating its Centennial Birthday. There is a possibility the astronauts aboard the ISS may transmit images of Alberta while 10 cities simultaneously launch fireworks September 1st .

The packet system on 145.80 is now working and John Phillips had a successful school contact this morning (1544 UTC) with the Higgins Institute
in Tempe, Arizona.

The crew is scheduled to perform a spacewalk tomorrow and the amateur radio equipment will be shutdown about 1200 UTC to support that activity. The equipment is expected to return to service once post EVA reconfiguration
actions are accomplished.

Good day, The packet system is back online. I have had 2 good passes this morning,@1100 & 1230 utc). HAVE FUN ! 73, RON, CN98,N7SIJ@AOL.COM

HELLO TO ALL WELL IN PUERTO RICO KP3A AND WP3OD IS TEST A PATCH FOR UI-VIWE FOR TELEMETRY YOU CAN DOWLOAD THE PATCH FOR UI-VIWE IN www.ui-view.net THIS PACH CAN DECODER THE TELEMETRY OF THE ISS AND THE PCSAT 2 TNX WP3OD

On orbit 385l8 at 13.59 utc 8-16-05 I heard on 437.977.3 Mhz. a packet signal not to loud for about 1 minute. Gus. WA4MCJ

The TNC on the Kenwood radio appears to have stopped working. Attempts have been made to restore the functionality of the radio but so far without success. The crew will be very busy preparing for an space walk on Thursday (Aug 18) so additional troubleshooting will not be possible until after the space walk has been completed.

PCSAT2 is operational and currently supporting PSK-31 uplink on 29.402 and down linking on 435.275 on a limited basis. Telemetry data from the Materials on ISS Experiment 5 (MISSE 5) is being down linked on 437.975 in both 1200 and 9600 baud packet.

Now that PCSAT2 has been installed, operation concerns will significantly restrict activation of the crossband repeater for extended periods of time until some tests can be conducted.

Expedition 11 Commander Sergei Krikalev and NASA Science Officer John Phillips will go outside the International Space Station this Thursday on a spacewalk to remove, replace and photograph experiments and relocate equipment.

Krikalev, designated EV1, will be making his eighth spacewalk. This is Phillips' first spacewalk.
