    The countdown has begun and we are only a few days away from our celebratory conference, symposium and general meeting. Those who have not yet booked their participation in the symposium and supporting program should do so as soon as possible. as soon as possible in the AMSAT-DL Shop. There are also only a few accommodations left, so book quickly!

    die Software für die Dekodierung der STEREO-A Weather Beacon wurde übrigens von Mitgliedern der AMSAT-DL entwickelt und wird von den Bodenstationen der NOAA/SWP schon lange eingesetzt: https://amsat-dl.org/stereo/

    ACHTUNG: Unser Messestand (AMSAT-DL) befindet sich in der Zeppelin CAT Halle 1 im Feld A1 – 584 beim DARC.


    Wir freuen uns auf Euren Besuch am Stand und auf viele nette Gespräche!


    Weiterhin möchten wir auf das QO-100 Usertreffen hinweisen, welches die AMSAT-DL sponsort.



    Nicht zuletzt, möchten wir auch auf das 50-jährige AMSAT-DL Jubiläum hinweisen, welches wir im September mit einem Festakt und Symposium feiern wollen: Ticket-Verkauf ab sofort!





    according to Mario DL5MLO "geosynchronous orbit in 460km altitude" is indeed a mistake.

    The satellite is planned for a "sunsynchronous orbit SSO in 460km" altitude.


    Please also note that the frequency coordination is not yet completed, the above is only early notification!

    Dear All,


    As Guillaume F4HDK pointed out, we are currently in deep discussion with him regarding his NPR-VSAT solution for QO-100.


    To get a broader agreement and acceptance we will establish an “expert team” to review and investigate the following areas:

    • Technical Feasibility
      • performance (modulation, FEC, bandwidth, required power).
      • non-interference (mainly due to pulsed uplinks) with DATV.
      • look at the major strengths and weaknesses.
      • other technical aspects.
      • setting-up a HUB at AMSAT-DL in Bochum.
    • Coordination and band planning
      • interoperability and compatibility with other modes.
      • proposal for a new WB-Transponder bandplan.


    The “expert team” will prepare a proposal to AMSAT-DL for a final decision and implementing.


    Everyone might understand that there is a complex “management/political” decision to be made at the end. While it will be difficult to make everyone happy, we have to make sure that the solution that is deployed is technically sound and accepted by most users. Also, we want to treat everyone fair and not favour or disfavour one mode of operation.


    On the other hand, Guillaume invested a lot of time in this very exciting project and we want to value the efforts and contribution he makes to the community. Indeed, there is always potential for improvement.


    As he says, the ultimate goal could be a permanent HUB, ideally located in Bochum with access to the HamNet. But to be clear: this would be for direct User / Client access only. Gateways or traffic between Gateways will not be permitted and this is not planned by design either.



    Until then, please make sure to follow the WB bandplan and general guidelines before starting any experimental transmissions (which is required for anyone on the WB-transponder anyway):

    • All transmitting stations shall monitor the wideband spectrum monitor.
    • All transmitting stations shall monitor the co-ordination chat window.
    • All experimental transmissions shall only be inside the reserved 1 MHz section for “experimental modes” just beside the DATV-Beacon.
    • All transmissions will be limited to short duration tests (~30min).

    If we see during the evaluation that there are no problems, we may gradually extended those periods. For example, for those times of the days where there is not much other activity.



    Watch this space!

    HAKUTO-R and LunarFlashlight simultaneously received in Bochum after the launch when still flying close together.

    They do transmit in X-Band on 8 GHz DSN-Frequencies.


    Hello OK9SGC and welcome to the board!


    Technically possible, but as far as I know it's not legal to retransmit any transmission from Eumetcast.


    Even if for individuals (non-commercial use) the license is free, you still need the personalized USB key and they exactly want to know who is receiving it? We can try to contact Eumetsat to check what's possible..
