Bouncing Packets off the ISS

Using information from the post I mentioned earlier about operating via packet on the ISS, I decided to give it a try. It was a nominal success, although the pass was short and I was operating with just 5w into the omni on the top of my car. Sorry KD7ZLF, I’ll be better prepared next time and we’ll have a real QSO.

43 Days to Delfi-C3 launch

This was mentioned on the AMSAT mailing list. In 43 days, the Delfi-C3 cubesat will be launched. After a 90 day mission, it will have a 400mw linear transponder enabled for amateur radio use in mode U/V. Awesome. Unfortunately, it’s another one of these satellites that is in low earth orbit, and is likely to have a significantly limited lifetime, perhaps a year.
