    ARISSat-1 Loaded Aboard Progress-41P for Launch

    Signals have been very good. Listen on 145.950 voice, slow scan tv and info on satellite health (via voice). Tracking info from N2YO or Heavans Above sites. Fun. Following behind the ISS in orbit. Expect some fading since it was hand launched and is tumbling.

    4/20/2011 1:01pm - Uplink Activity Report - 90 changes

    Did the reboot and it did nothing. The guide showed the channels as good (yellow for my 211s). Rep said they were aware of the problem and quote "I will send a Strong signal to your receivers" Worked !!

    Homemade HD antennas

    I used an 8 inch piece of RG6 with a F connector. Bend as needed. Put a little of the center insulation at the tip to keep me from blinding myself ! Works fine for my Hartford area stations.
