Just to keep all members updated on the progress of the 2 meter repeater.
To keep it 'simple' at this time, the manager of site operations, Jeff has
indicated that he is still on-track with this installation. He and his team
has been extremely busy working 12 hours/day doing several high-power TV
transmitter installations (not all at this site, of course). But he has
indicated to Paul Nannery that he is focused on getting us on the air as
quickly as he can 'squeeze' it into his current routines.

 

Once again, I wish to remind us all that this delay has been directly a
result of the failure of MetroCor to do their job providing a decision on
our modification. If it were not for Mike DeLitio contacting MetroCor and
"lighting the fire" we might have been further delayed with MetroCor.

(thank you, Mike.)

 

Please be patient and we will get there.

Subject: [RVRC] New 2m repeater on the International Space Station
Message-ID: <E89101EE-F410-421C-84BC-EDFCF28AF9F0@jimroselli.com>

Hello everyone.

Exciting news.  ISS has a new 2m FM repeater activated recently.

Transmit Uplink : 145.990 MHz , CTCSS 67 Hz tone required on transmit

Receive Downlink 437.800 MHz

There is an ISS pass this evening :

Rise 10:07:27PM at 10 deg NW

Transit 10:10:44PM at 51 deg SW

Set 10:13:59PM 10 deg SW

Not the highest pass ( 90 deg ) but you should be able to hear it and maybe even work it.

So if you using a vertical, the signal best reception time is as it rises and sets assuming its transit is at 90 deg.
With it being 51 deg, you should  be able to hear it as it transits as it will not null directly overhead.

OK everyone.  Let's get radio active !
How about we all try to hear it tonight.  If you can record the pass, that would be awesome to share at our upcoming RVRC Zoom meeting.
In the mean time, send a quick note to everyone on the mail list tonight or tomorrow to let us know if you heard it.

Here is a nice video introduction about the new repeater.
