SB SAT @ AMSAT  $ANS-005.01
MIR FREQUENCY CHANGE
HR AMSAT NEWS SERVICE BULLETIN 005.01 FROM AMSAT HQ
SILVER SPRING, MD, JANUARY 05, 1997
TO ALL RADIO AMATEURS BT
BID: $ANS-005.01
John Blaha, KC5TZQ,  made an announcement that, as of 
January first 1997, the 2-meter voice and packet frequencies would change
from 145.800 Mhz uplink and 145.200 Mhz downlink to 145.800 Mhz
downlink and 145.200 Mhz uplink for groundstations  John 
was switching between the two frequencies as he was trying to work 
stations and inform anyone listening of the change to the frequencies
used to  uplink and downlink to MIR.
Below are the frequencies a groundstation would use to communicate
to the MIR space station.
FM voice ops:
        uplink  145.200 Mhz transmit
        downlink  145.800 Mhz receive
Packet ops:
        uplink  145.200 Mhz transmit
        downlink  145.800 Mhz receive
[ANS thanks John Blaha, KC5TZQ, for this information.]
MIR: 
(Uplink 145.2MHz FM, Downlink 145.8MHz FM) 
The above split is used for both packet and voice operation.
See ANS-005.01 for more information.
SAFEX, 
(Uplink 435.750MHz FM, Downlink 437.950MHz FM, 
Subaudible tone 141.3 Hz)
The repeater appears to be down at this time and no further
information is available.
RS-12: 
(Uplink 21.21-21.25MHz CW/SSB, Downlink 29.41-29.45MHz or
145.91-145.95Mhz CW/SSB) 
The sat is giving extremely good downlink signals on 2 meters. In
this period of poor propagation on 15 m, the T-mode is providing  very
easy access to the satellite. Interesting DX activity has been spotted 
in Europe with stations in Egypt, Crete, Cameroon, etc.
[ANS thanks Stefano Badessi, PA3FWP, for this report.]
RS-10: 
(Uplink 145.865-145.905MHz CW/SSB, Downlink 29.36-29.4MHz CW/SSB) 
Operating normally. Very busy with lots of QSOs heard over
north America and Europe.
RS-15
(Uplink 145.858-145.898MHz CW/SSB, Downlink 29.354-29.394MHz CW/SSB) 
Operating normally. 
(Hint: If SSB doesn't work for you, try CW. CW is very easy
to hear on the downlink!)
KO-23 
(Uplink 145.85, 145.9MHz FM, Downlink 435.175MHz FM,
9600 Baud FSK.) 
KO-23 downlink frequency is approximately 4 KHz low, but all other
operations are normal.
.KO-25:
(Uplink 145.87MHz FM, Downlink 436.5MHz FM,
9600 Baud FSK.)
KO-25 continues to send  messages "Frames heard from LOADER-9" The
satellite is closed to file uploads.
[ANS thanks Jim Weisenberger,  AA7KC, for his reports on
KO-25 and KO-23.]
 
AO-27:
(Uplink 145.85MHz FM, Downlink 436.8MHz FM) 
December-08-1996.
Good conditions on the bird  and good QSO in it's orbits 
over Europe during the  weekend  Heard: F6HLG, DG5MNC, 
EB5BCF, EA5AAJ, DH5JY, DL2DRD etc
[ANS thanks Miguel A. Menendez, EA1BCU, for this report.]
AO-10:
(Uplink 435.030-435.18MHz CW/LSB, Downlink 145.975-145.825MHz CW/USB) 
Operating normally. Stacey E. (Chuck)  Mills, W4SM, reports that
Ken Ernandes is looking into getting updated keps. Though the orbit 
doesn't change  very fast, things are now off by a bit, especially at 
perigee. Mills calculated the blon/blat, -125/5, about one year ago and 
is waiting to see if predictions for this year hold up. 
AMSAT-OSCAR-16 (PACSAT) 
(Uplink 145.9, 145.92, 145.94, 145.86MHz FM, Downlink 437.0513MHz SSB,
1200 Baud PSK.)
Continues in good working order. 
[ANS thanks Miguel A. Menendez, EA1BCU, for this report.]
FO-20 
(Uplink 145.9-146.0MHz CW/LSB, Downlink 435.8-435.9MHz CW/USB) 
Strong downlink signal and very busy with activity.
OSCAR-11
Good, steady signals have been received from OSCAR-11 
on 145.825MHz. FM, 1200 Baud PSK
ANS thanks  Clive Wallis, G3CWV, for this information.]
IO-26 ( ITAMSAT):
(Uplink 145.875, 145.9, 145.925, 145.95MHz FM, Downlink 435.822MHz SSB,
1200 Baud PSK.)
Operating normally. Some report indicate that the downlink
signals from the bird are stronger.
[ANS thanks Richard W L Limebear,  G3RWL, for this
report.]
DO-17(DOVE)
( Downlink 145.825MHz FM, 1200 Baud AFSK.)
Jim White reports that DOVE had timed out on December second.
DOVE's  software was then uploaded again to correct the
time out problem. Signals from Dove are once again being
received.
 [ANS thanks Jim White, WD0E, and Sergio Adrian Gorgone,      
 LW7DXF, for this information.]
LUSAT-OSCAR-19 
(Uplink 145.84, 145.86, 145.88, 145.9MHz FM, Downlink 437.1528MHz SSB,
1200 Baud PSK AX.25.)
This satellite is normally working. 
 [ANS thanks Miguel A. Menendez, EA1BCU, for this report.]
.
WEBERSAT (WO-18) 
(Downlink 437.104MHz SSB, 1200 Baud PSK AX.25.)
WeberSat (WO-18) is operational with the new telemetry/housekeeping suite
active.  The satellite is currently sending battery WOD:
     16 - Battery 1 Voltage
     17 - Battery 2 Voltage
     18 - Battery 3 Voltage
     1B - Battery 6 Voltage
     1E - Solar Array Voltage
     21 - BCR +10 V Bus
The taking and sending of photos and spectra will begin again soon.  
Check it out!
