Setellites frequency list update #2

Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: Request for a file of amateur satellite frequencies

Hi All,

Many thanks to everyone who responded to my plea!

As a result of it, with JE9PEL's agreement, we have created an abstract from 
his master list of all amateur satellites so as to include just those ones 
that are active.

It is available here  http://www.uk.amsat.org/?page_id=11251

The benefit of this is that it fits nicely on a single sheet of A4 paper and 
can therefore easily be stuck on the wall of the shack right behind the 
radio. I know that this is an old fashioned concept but it has already 
helped me work out the likely spacecraft when looking at signals showing up 
the waterfall display on the screen using an FCD+ and SDR#

The challenge will, of course, be to keep it uptodate and hopefully  someone 
will be willing to take on the task of setting up and maintaining a proper 
database.

best wishes

You see here the signal from TCA at 17:59 UTC till LOS.
The eclipse begun exactly at 18:01:40 UTC and you can see that the signal is getting weaker instantly.

How to decode WE_WISH SSTV (Revision)

How to decode WE_WISH SSTV

How to decode WE_WISH SSTV

JE9PEL, I explain a method of the decoding WE_WISH SSTV photo received ST2NH.
Because there is only a Japanese software and PDF file, I do not know whether
you can analyze it by a method to explain here properly in English. Please test.

(*) In the PDF file writing on how to use WE_WISH decoder, the way of
    the temperature setting seems to include some error. In other words
    the ruggedness of the 3D image of SSTV which I explained in my home
    page might be against all so far. Please wait for a while, because
    I am asking GS a question now.

(**)I corrected here the explanation of the last page in the PDF file of
    WE_WISH SSTV. This was comfirmed in Ground Station as above.


 1. You will get a clean red and a yellow photo of the infrared signal using
    MMSSTV. Save this image as the BMP file. And you will notice some curved
    lines at the center of the image. I do not know what it is.

 2. Install Decoder and PDF file from Japanese homepage of WE_WISH GS.
    https://sites.google.com/site/jq1ziijq1zij/home/shou-xin-fang-fa
    https://sites.google.com/site/jq1ziijq1zij/english, English page

 3. Set BMP file which you saved first in the column of this decoder.

 4. Set two CFG file 'AMB20-OBJ20_Cal.dat' and 'AMB20-OBJ40_Cal.dat' etc.
    Input temperature value in two columns of this decoder, and run it.
    See the next image for example.
    http://www.ne.jp/asahi/hamradio/je9pel/st2nhtv1.png

 5. The CSV file is generated in the folder automatically.
    It is 'st2nhstv_OUT.csv' for example.

 6. Open this CSV file using a tool Graph-R 2.30 'GraphR.exe'.
    http://www.vector.co.jp/soft/dl/winnt/business/se136959.html

 7. You will decode them as follows.

Hello dear Mineo
I've received SSTV photo from We Wish satellite .
I've noticed some curved lines at the center of the photos
as I've seen those line too at JA0CAW sstv photo!
see attached images please
I wounder what are those lines?
How can I decode we wish sstv images ?

Thanks in advance dear friend

Dear Mineo san,
I received a new SSTV image from We-Wish. Can you explain me,
what we see in the image?

I know it's an infrared or thermal image - but of what.
Is it inside the cube or outside to earth?
I did not found any english informations about that.
Maybe you can help me, please?

Thanks ! 73 Dewa,
