Subject: [amsat-bb] New satellite operator - M7OJA

Hello,

My callsign is M7OJA. I was tracking the Fox-1D satellite and I called out
into a handheld radio with 8 watts into a collinear omnidirectional antenna
on my roof when the satellite passed. I heard a station come back very
clearly with "Juliet Alpha again". Unfortunately, the satellite had passed
by then, but I am impressed that I managed to get in with my minimal
station setup.

I would like to try to maximise the time I have to use the satellite. My
handheld radio (Anytone 868) doesn't have an auto doppler shift, so I am
wondering how to calculate the doppler frequencies? For example, on this
link https://amsat-uk.org/beginners/how-to-work-fm-satellites/, all of the
frequencies are listed to be programmed into a handheld (accounting for
doppler shift). I would like a similar list of frequencies for the Fox-1D
(or know how to calculate them).

Many Thanks,

Oscar M7OJA (IO94HT)
