Ny finns ett nytt packetmodem monterat p rymsstationen ISS. Det gamla modemet har fungerat med signalen NOCALL pga. ett dtt batteri. Det nya modemet har ett specialbrnt ROM med fasta instllningar och signalen RS0ISS.

Mailboxen fungerar allts, men alla som kr mot ISS uppmanas att inte lmna meddelanden, d besttningen r mycket upptagna med annat och inte hinner att kolla mailen.

Frekvenserna r samma som frut; 145.990 MHz upp och 145.800 MHz ner.

Hej! hr kommer lite mer info om RS13

Along with the switch of RS-12 to Mode K and RS-13 to Mode T has come the return of our old friend, the RS-13 Mode T ROBOT. It s there as I write this, calling CQ on 145.908 +/- Doppler, and inviting callers on 21.140.

To make a ROBOT QSO, you must call in the following format: RS13 DE YOURCALL AR. If it hears you perfectly, ROBOT will acknowledge your call and give you a QSO number. But it s got to hear you perfectly, so if at first you don t succeed, etc.

It appears not only is RS-12 in mode K as I reported last night, but RS-13 is simultaneoulsy in mode T. Brent, VE5SWL, reports a CW QSO with John, K6YK, at 13:27z, 15m up (21.270) & 2m down (145.870): Very good signals 599 on CW with 30 watts into my INV VEE And on down link 5/8 VERT. MY FT-847 UP AND A OLD ITC MULTII 2000 DOWN.

For those that have not experienced mode T, it is fabulous. The only satellite I have heard that loud was SO-35. If you don t have two rigs, try it SPLIT mode on your HF+2m rig: set the uplink at, say 21.280 MHz CW/USB, then listen for people responding to your call around 145.880 CW/USB (883 at beginning of pass and down to 877 at end of pass). By general convention, CW below 880 and USB above 880.

Vidare skriver Hkan fljande:

Jag har nu lyssnat p RS12/RS13 och jag hr den bde p 29408 som vanligt samt att jag hr den p 145866, trafiken uppe vid 145 886 r ren HF stil och jag trodde nstan jag lg p 20 meter fast frekvensen visar 145 mhz.

Jag har hrt massa EU samt VE,W,K1 mm mm

Signalstyrkorna ligger p 53-57
