[amsat-bb] Satellite question week 3

[JoAnne K9JKM]

 > trying to receive them, got nothing ...
 > EO-88 ... ISS (both 433.550 and 145.800).

During most daylight hours EO-88 is BPSK telemetry only on 145.940 MHz 
with the CW/SSB downlink generally active when the satellite is in eclipse.

ISS will be audible on 145.800 MHz FM when they have a school contact 
this week if the current crew schedule still holds:

 > Maple Dale Elementary School, Cincinnati, OH, direct via K8SCH
 > The ISS callsign is presently scheduled to be NA1SS
 > The scheduled astronaut is Drew Morgan KI5AAA
 > Contact is go for: Thu 2020-02-20 18:20:28 UTC
 > Watch for live stream at https://facebook.com/ohkyinars

ISS packet is on 145.825 MHz. You can see the packet log at:
http://www.ariss.net/ which shows who was on and when last heard.

The other satellite sites often get their information from the source - 
that's AMSAT - so the more or less latest information is on the AMSAT 
sites:

1. The status page that W5TD mentioned in another message.
2. The list at https://www.amsat.org/two-way-satellites/

Note that not all of the satellites are AMSAT birds. It is up to the 
satellite owners to get out the latest news on the birds they own and 
operate - so sometimes the info is accurate and sometimes out-dated or 
missing.

Falconsat is data so you won't be hearing any voice QSO's.
