We need a Geo Stationary bird over the US.

There's a reason we don't - $$$. Until someone comes up with the money to do so it will never happen.

Satellite stuff is so cool, but I have so much to learn about it. I've not heard of doing packet radio through satellites. So cool. I dig the setup as well.

Nice set up, M Leo antenna looks prety cool.

Cool video & as others mention, the Sat stuff very very interesting. Upset I didn't make the trip over there on Saturday.😢😢

The CSN Technologies S.A.T. is heads and shoulders past anything else out there for rotor and Doppler control. It is a fantastic tool.

I love my Buddihex. Highest SWR is 1.2 on all 6 bands.

3 ops is amateur hour. The HRA crew has done 5 ops on a buddy hex using the penta-plexer. :)

When I worked PSK31 at WFD, guys were including 'please copy' in their PSK31 messages :) We had a good chuckle about that one.

I’ve emailed them BuddiHex haven’t heard anything back from him, but I’m kind of want to know the full cost. They said they have bundles. Do you know the prices of the and the poles together? Didn’t know if you can answer the question or not thank you.

@higginsjoshua 5 ай бұрын

Could I have you clarify, with the buddihex, a triplexer, and bandpassfilters you were able to have three stations all transmitting and receiving simultaneously on QRP with no issues? Thoughts on if you could run three 100w stations?

@HamRadioCrashCourse 5 ай бұрын

Yes, three stations simultaneously but on different bands. It would work with 100 watts of filters and triplexes rated for it.

Maintaining orbit costs money, it's not just if the satellite has enough delta V. A satellite like this has to be monitored by ESA, there has to be someone to adjust the orbit if there is a possible collision, and both of those cost money. There is also a requirement now from ESA that requires satellites to deorbit when their mission is complete. The main mission of this satellite was scientific experiments. As mentioned in the video, in the past satellites were just left in space to decay, and eventually became space junk. There is too much space junk that has been left out there, which is why they are required to deorbit any new satellites. TLDR: It is most likely a combination of cost and the requirement to deorbit satellites when their mission is complete.

I'm curious if AMSAT would have the capabilities to take over operations. I also agree, that satellites do to need to be appropriately decommissioned. However it seems too soon for GreenCube.

@HondaGoBwaaap 6 ай бұрын

@@HamRadioCrashCourse It is a shame to see a satellite that is in perfect working order decommissioned. It would be awesome if AMSAT could save it.

cubesats don't typically have thrusters, so this thing's gonna be up there however long it's gonna be up there, whether it's passivated or not

@@nyanotech4106 GreenCube is large enough that it is required by the ESA to be able to deorbit. They stated in their announcement that they would deorbit GreenCube.

There is a requirement to de-orbit satellites near their end of life. Can't intentionally allow a satellite to go into uncontrolled status.

@HamRadioCrashCourse 6 ай бұрын

I don’t think that’s the situation here.

@fher4615 6 ай бұрын

IO-117 doesn't have the means to de-orbit from that altitude. They are planning to shut it off because the primary mission of the satellite was completed. The amateur radio component was secondary. AMSAT Italy has requested to the Italian Space Agency to keep it on and transfer control to them. Request is currently under evaluation.

We also used a BuddiHex and triplexer (Dunestar) at W1BOS. We were operating just outside Boston at a rustic camp (no power and no generators allowed, so 100% QRP battery) in class 3I (cabins with wood stoves.) The BuddiHex worked really well; we made over 400 contacts. No rotator needed at our location; we just aimed the antenna southwest. We also had dipoles for 40 and 80 meters.
