Subject: [amsat-bb] Presentation on New Dutch Amateur Satellite
There will be a presentation on the new Dutch Amateur Satellite at the
AMSAT-UK International Space Colloquium, which is being held at the
University of Surrey, Guildford, England from 29th-31st July. Guildford is
near both London-Heathrow and London-Gatwick airports.
Students from the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands will be
attending the event. They are currently building an Amateur Satellite called
Delfi-3C which will carry a 70cm to 2 metre linear transponder and is
scheduled for launch at the end of 2006.
Further information on Delfi-3C can be found at:
http://www.delfic3.tudelft.nl/
This International Event is open to all Amateurs and SWL's. To book a place
at the colloquium download the booking form available at

Subject: Re: [amsat-bb] SSB UEK-2000 Down Convertor
If you started listening at 145.125, you were too low, assuming that
2401.000 downconverts to 145.000. Depending on the maximum elevation of the
pass, you should be starting out as high as 145.260 or so, and tuning down
to as low as 145.140 at LOS. At CPA you should be right on 145.200. (My
downconverter is about 20 KHz low, so last night I found I was listening at
145.180 in the middle of the pass when it should have been right at 145.200)

Subject: [amsat-bb] Field Day planning
Jeff KT2K, harmonic, Jeffrey SWL, and I, NX2Q, will be at High
Point State Park in NNJ for Field Day operating the satellites.
We are also planning a limited portable meteor scatter effort.

Good thoughts George. My "old" converter is also low in frequency but
more importantly, it drifts like crazy! Not to worry! Be a ham and
know how to compensate. If your listening for a digital signal, then
observe the centering display of an FM signal. If you are listening to
FSK, which you will have to do when listening to a CUBESAT signal, then
center that display on the waterfall display between 1200 and 2200 Hz.
All of you might have observed "interjection" of CUBESAT operating
sentences lately. There just in not enough hours in the day to write
the required articles for CUBESAT, so the best that can be done is just
comment when possible. I simply can not keep up! All CUBESATS are on
437 MHz with the exception of one that has a 2400 MHz downlink.
