[K3PZN-List] Test Opportunity Wednesday Night

[Kilroy, Patrick L. (GSFC-5680)]

Stu Benner, W3STU, and I are going to try 
a compatibility test tomorrow night on the 
air.  

YOU ARE INVITED to join our madness!  

This is in preparation of the CarrollSat-2 
high-altitude balloon launch this coming 
Sunday morning from our last Mason-Dixon 
Hamfest & Computer Show of the decade.  

Shortly after 9:00 P.M. EDT Wednesday, 
October 20, I will fire up a flight module 
on the telemetry downlink frequency of 
433.920 MHz FM and AM.  Signal reports 
will be accepted on the club repeater 
145.410 MHz FM K3PZN/R PL 114.8 (or the 
449.875 MHz with PL 127.3 as a back up) 
for any of up to three power stages 
during the test.  

The telemetry is in Morse Code.  

I will be transmitting the telemetry from 
my home QTH which can be found on the 
APRS Googlemap map at:

Stu is located in Hampstead, and so the 
flea power link attempt ought to be an 
interesting attempt indeed.  Perhaps 
even madness!  

Go to the CarrollSat-2 announcement page 
at: 

http://simsat.net/carrollsat/

for information about Sunday's experiment 
or to get the link to the CwGet software 
package.  

Even for the finest CW ops, copying even 
these simple telemetry numbers can be very 
tiring after a few minutes.  So, that is 
why we are promoting to use a software 
reader.  CwGet can save copy to an ASCII 
text file.  

Thank you for your support.  

Should be fun!  

Cheers,

Pat Kilroy
