The ejection of NanoSail-D also has been confirmed by ground-based satellite tracking assets.<br /><br />Amateur ham operators are asked to listen for the signal to verify NanoSail-D is operating. This information should be sent to the NanoSail-D dashboard at: http://nanosaild.engr.scu.edu/dashboard.htm. The NanoSail-D beacon signal can be found at 437.270 MHz.<br /><br />The NanoSail-D science team is hopeful the nanosatellite is healthy and can complete its solar sail mission. After ejection, a timer within NanoSail-D begins a three-day countdown as the satellite orbits the Earth.<br /><br />Once the timer reaches zero, four booms will quickly deploy and the NanoSail-D sail will start to unfold to a 100-square-foot polymer sail. Within five seconds the sail fully unfurls.<br /><br />"This is great news for our team. We're anxious to hear the beacon which tells us that NanoSail-D is healthy and operating as planned," said Dean Alhorn, NanoSail-D principal investigator and aerospace engineer at the Marshall Center.<br /><br />"The science team is hopeful to see that NanoSail-D is operational and will be able to unfurl its solar sail."<br /><br />On Dec. 6,, 2010, NASA triggered the planned ejection of NanoSail-D from FASTSAT. At that time, the team confirmed that the door successfully opened and data indicated a successful ejection. Upon further analysis, no evidence of NanoSail-D was identified in low-Earth orbit, leading the team to believe NanoSail-D remained inside FASTSAT.<br /><br />The FASTSAT mission has continued to operate as planned with the five other scientific experiments operating nominally.<br /><br />"We knew that the door opened and it was possible that NanoSail-D could eject on its own," said Mark Boudreaux, FASTSAT project manager at the Marshall Center. "What a pleasant surprise this morning when our flight operations team confirmed that NanoSail-D is now a free flyer."<br /><br />If the deployment is successful, NanoSail-D will stay in low-Earth orbit between 70 and 120 days, depending on atmospheric conditions. NanoSail-D is designed to demonstrate deployment of a compact solar sail boom system that could lead to further development of this alternative solar sail propulsion technology and FASTSAT's ability to eject a nano-satellite from a micro-satellite - while avoiding re-contact with the FASTSAT satellite bus.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4902438544407743649-5926884577593603427?l=sv2dcd.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Leo Fiskashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04134533526741187684noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4902438544407743649.post-89336791077346956512011-01-12T09:06:00.005+02:002011-01-12T09:26:13.703+02:00It was great !!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KGy7sORGesc/TS1XeObQ2lI/AAAAAAAAAco/uAUdE8obsiI/s1600/DSC00781.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KGy7sORGesc/TS1XeObQ2lI/AAAAAAAAAco/uAUdE8obsiI/s320/DSC00781.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561197291652569682" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KGy7sORGesc/TS1V6g0ApbI/AAAAAAAAAcg/_Sa76VWKuFc/s1600/DSC00741.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KGy7sORGesc/TS1V6g0ApbI/AAAAAAAAAcg/_Sa76VWKuFc/s320/DSC00741.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561195578601285042" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KGy7sORGesc/TS1VIreKmvI/AAAAAAAAAcY/ZHrc3rY022o/s1600/DSC00668.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KGy7sORGesc/TS1VIreKmvI/AAAAAAAAAcY/ZHrc3rY022o/s320/DSC00668.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561194722468993778" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KGy7sORGesc/TS1U5WInWgI/AAAAAAAAAcQ/iahBUg4G2xc/s1600/DSC00791.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KGy7sORGesc/TS1U5WInWgI/AAAAAAAAAcQ/iahBUg4G2xc/s320/DSC00791.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561194459043420674" /></a><br /><br /><br />Here are some pictures from my latest trip to Russia.<br />It was a great visit to Moscow and Moscow region (Sergiyev Posad,Sorochany ski resort)<br />Lot of cold but there is always the solution for this in Russia.VODKA !!!!!

The CQ WW Contest Committee would like to inform you via this news letter that the ASSISTED CATEGORY award program has been greatly expanded.<br /><br />n We announce the strengthening of the assisted awards program. Starting with the 2010 CQ WW contests, the assisted category award program will be greatly expanded.<br /><br />n All Low Power and QRP assisted entrants will be specifically listed and eligible for awards as is already the case for unassisted entries. <br /><br />n A band-by-band breakdown for all band assisted World, Europe and USA will be provided within the 2010 results. <br /><br />n Lastly, the number of plaques available to assisted entrants will be increased to include Europe Assisted All Band and all World Assisted Single Bands. <br /><br />We hope that this action provides an incentive for entrants using a QSO spotting system to join the assisted category.<br /><br />Please make a note that the log submission deadline for SSB has changed to Nov 21, 2010 and for CW to Dec 21, 2010.<br /><br />73,<br /><br />Bob, K3EST<br /><br />CQ WW Director<br /><br /><br /><br />CU ALL IN THE CONTEST<br />DE SV2DCD SO 40M HIGH ASSISTED<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4902438544407743649-7205799067246337194?l=sv2dcd.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Leo Fiskashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04134533526741187684noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4902438544407743649.post-60928642917147361102010-10-16T09:15:00.002+03:002010-10-16T09:24:43.304+03:00F2 propagation is back on 6m bandDuring the last days F2 propagation is back on 6m band.<br />Even though in my qth there was no one heard or worked via F2 skip we can see on the cluster history that stations from western Europe had some qso's via F2.<br />In my qth the most remarkable event on 6m was to copy (for the first time) very strong the SV1SIX/B from Athens via backscatter <br /><br />CT1FFU 50006.0 PY0FF wow 599 F2 1822 15 Oct Fernando de Noro<br /><br />CT1FFU 50091.2 S9SIX 529 f2 1727 15 Oct Sao Tome & P<br /><br />KE4WBO 50000.1 CE1 cemusic>fl f2f2 2021 12 Oct Chile<br /><br />KE4WBO 50036.0 OA4B/B 55-579 f2 1956 12 Oct Peru<br /><br />CT1FFU 50110.0 KP4EIT 559 f2 1753 11 Oct Puerto Rico<br /><br />CT1FFU 50032.0 D4C F2 529 1704 11 Oct Cape Verde<br /><br />Good luck all on magic band !<br />73 de SV2DCD Leonidas<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4902438544407743649-6092864291714736110?l=sv2dcd.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Leo Fiskashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04134533526741187684noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4902438544407743649.post-74314215905973872732010-10-07T06:41:00.001+03:002010-10-07T06:42:49.953+03:00Long time ago !!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KGy7sORGesc/TK1BeeLeBmI/AAAAAAAAAbI/rkjX8p9T4DA/s1600/zante85-A.JPG"><img style="display:block;

Full details of the background to this will appear in<br />a forthcoming 'Six News' but in brief, the Mid Cornwall Beacon and <br />Repeater Group, which has a relatively small contributory user base, has insufficient funds to run all of the transmitters associated with the group. The groups main function until recently has been the upkeep of their 2m and 70cm Repeaters but they have now become responsible for the beacon system also.<br /><br />From a 6m point of view, the good news is that UKSMG have stepped in to <br />ensure funds are available to allow the 6m beacon to continue. The <br />other beacons are expected to shut down in about two weeks time. It is <br />not within our (UKSMG) remit to directly help fund the remaining beacons however, it would not take a great deal of funding to keep all of these beacons running for the coming year at least, and probably into the forseeable future.<br /><br />Details of contacts for the group for anyone wishing to help with funding are available here:<br /><a href="http://www.btinternet.com/%7Ekevin.francks/GB3NC.htm" target="_blank">http://www.btinternet.com/~kevin.francks/GB3NC.htm</a> <br />However, it seems to me that a co-ordinated approach by groups with a <br />vested interest in individual beacons (as we UKSMG have done) would be <br />the best approach to ensure the beacons remained active although please <br />note the short timescales involved. As a rough guide, it costs <br />approximately £2 per week per beacon to provide electricity or about <br />£120 per year. A small cost when the benefits are considered</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4902438544407743649-1334514744732615859?l=sv2dcd.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Leo Fiskashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04134533526741187684noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4902438544407743649.post-44021079357117048152009-03-03T08:36:00.002+02:002009-03-03T08:40:41.902+02:002m EME antenna almost ready<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KGy7sORGesc/SazQYt2GCUI/AAAAAAAAASg/WWLXiRRRebk/s1600-h/DSC05060.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KGy7sORGesc/SazQYt2GCUI/AAAAAAAAASg/WWLXiRRRebk/s320/DSC05060.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308847183804893506" border="0" /></a>More info and photos to come..<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4902438544407743649-4402107935711704815?l=sv2dcd.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Leo Fiskashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04134533526741187684noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4902438544407743649.post-36243429900663851132009-02-20T20:23:00.000+02:002009-02-20T20:25:44.181+02:00Austrian 4 m beacon QRV in summerPeter OE5MPL have good news about a new 4m beacon<br />Reports :<br /><p style="font-style: italic;">I am happy to announce, that we have received a license to operate a beacon on the 4 m band.</p><p style="font-style: italic;">We did not get the vanity call OE5FOUR.

Time limit is 1 June and until 31 August 2009. Transmission is only 2 minutes per sequence between 04:00 and 19:47 UTC.

Transmission power is 1 W ERP the first minute of each sequence and 5 W ERP the second minute of each sequence.</p><p style="font-style: italic;">If the beacon does not interfere with services outside of Austria, an extension is possible after August 2009 the Austrian PTT said.</p><p style="font-style: italic;">Anyway after August 2009 we will try to negotiations for 24/7 duration period for the beacon. </p><p style="font-style: italic;">This is just the first step, following the offered directives of our PTT in Vienna.</p><p style="font-style: italic;">The beacon frequency is 70,045 MHz, location for the beacon JN78CJ, 860 mASL and the antenna a Half-Wave Vertical with Collins Filter design DK7ZB/OZ2M will be used.</p><span style="font-style: italic;">73</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Peter, OE5MPL</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4902438544407743649-3624342990066385113?l=sv2dcd.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Leo Fiskashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04134533526741187684noreply@blogger.com0
