在1961年12月，凯斯西储大学一群业余无线电爱好者共同努力，成功接收到了第一颗业余无线电卫星——OSCAR 1的信号。

车站运营工作由团队成员分工负责，以处理早期卫星跟踪任务中的手动操作需求。

• 有一名学生成功完成了轨道计算工作。
• 有一名学生负责控制方位角的定位工作。
• 有一名学生负责控制高度跟踪功能。
• 有一名学生负责频率控制工作。

团队成功接收到美国“OSCAR I”卫星发来的独特“HI HI”摩斯电码信号。

在2026年8月，爱德华王子岛上的一个便携式设备正在监测加拿大卫星CO-128/马莫特卫星的传输信号，其传输频率为145.875 MHz。

所使用的便携式野外工作站包括：

• 跟踪：使用手机来追踪方位角和高度角。
• 接收器：雅斯UXGX-8GR便携式无线电设备，适用于接收调幅信号。
• 天线：采用Arrow II 146/440-14型号的天线，由4个元素组成的Yagi天线结构构成。

操作员用摩斯电码记录了呼号CQ DEVA7UVS的通信内容。在传输过程中，音频输出产生的噪音比声音还要多。附近的电力线路最初会导致信号出现干扰现象，但将手指放在天线的铝制主杆上后，这种干扰就消失了，使得DEVA7UVS的信号更容易被接收。

AMSAT Ambassadors are dedicated volunteers who represent AMSAT at local ham fests, maker fairs, and club meetings. In their roles, Ambassadors agree to attend at least one local event per year and mentor area radio amateurs looking to get started with satellite operations.

To support their outreach efforts, each Ambassador receives:

• A custom AMSAT Ambassador callsign badge

• A 3′ x 5′ AMSAT banner flag

• An “FAQ” presentation binder designed for interactive demonstrations

The presentation binder includes visual aids explaining core concepts such as satellite types, orbital mechanics, tracking software, antenna configurations, Doppler shift compensation, and operating techniques. The binder’s front cover features a QR code that directs interested operators directly to beginner articles and getting-started resources.

The Ambassador Program is open to current AMSAT members residing in the United States. U.S. members interested in joining the program can contact volunteer@amsat.org.

Meteor Scatter Communications on 6 Meters Using MSK144

Amateur radio operators looking to expand beyond traditional local or HF modes can use meteor scatter propagation to make contacts over distances from 400 to 2,000 kilometers. As Earth moves through space, millions of meteors enter the upper atmosphere at altitudes of 80 km to 120 km, creating short-lived ionized trails that reflect VHF radio signals. While activity in southern Africa has historically lagged compared to active regions in North America and Europe, techniques using modern digital modes make this propagation path highly accessible.

How Meteor Scatter Works

Because meteor trails persist for only milliseconds to a few seconds, traditional voice communication is generally impractical outside of major annual meteor showers (such as the Perseids or Geminids). Instead, operators use specialized digital protocols:

• Mode:

  MSK144 (Minimum Shift Keying at 144 baud), designed specifically for efficient meteor scatter communications within software like WSJT-X.

• Transmission Cycles:

  Stations exchange short data bursts using synchronized 15-second transmit/receive intervals.

• Frequency:

  The primary calling frequency on the 6-meter band is 50.260 MHz.

• Interference-Free Operation:

  Because meteors enter the atmosphere at random angles across a shared sky area, multiple stations can operate on the same frequency simultaneously without interfering with one another.

Recommended Equipment & Station Setup

Setting up a station for MSK144 meteor scatter requires minimal specialized hardware:

• Transceiver:

  A 50 MHz (6-meter) radio capable of moderate power (typically 50W to 100W, though higher power increases contact speed).

• Antenna:

  A horizontal directional antenna (such as a 5- to 7-element Yagi) is strongly recommended over a vertical antenna to properly spread the signal horizontally across the reflection zone.

• Software:

  A computer running WSJT-X connected via a USB interface for CAT control, audio input/output, and PTT timing. Accurate PC clock synchronization (via an internet time server like Dimension 4) is critical to maintain precise 15-second sequencing.

Operating Tips for Success

• Timing:

  While meteor scatter occurs 24/7, success rates improve significantly in the early morning when atmospheric meteor activity peaks, or during dedicated annual shower windows.

• Patience:

  Pings may be brief, and completing a full QSO can take several minutes or longer depending on trail density and geometry. Operators monitor real-time spotting via platforms like PSK Reporter to coordinate active sessions.

AMSAT CubeSatSim Introduces Exciting New Features for 2026

Alan Johnston, KU2Y, AMSAT VP

– Educational Relations, announced several significant upgrades to the CubeSatSim satellite simulator, expanding its capabilities for amateur radio enthusiasts, educators, and students. The new software releases, versions 2.2 and 2.3, make the low-cost, open-source simulator an even more versatile tool for learning about satellite communications.

CubeSatSim Kit [Credit: AMSAT]

One major addition is PacSat mode, which simulates a packet-radio satellite that can store and forward digital messages and files between ground stations. Users can practice uploading and downloading information, recreating the operations of actual amateur radio satellites.

Another improvement is simulated Doppler shift, which reproduces the changing radio frequency experienced as a satellite passes overhead. During a simulated ten-minute pass, the transmitted frequency changes by approximately 18 kHz, providing realistic training for satellite operators.

A new web-based Dashboard lets users configure and control CubeSatSim from a computer or smartphone. The added Wi-Fi hotspot eliminates the need for an existing wireless network.

Version 2.2 also introduced simulated equipment failures, allowing students to practice identifying satellite problems through telemetry analysis.

Built around a Raspberry Pi Zero 2, CubeSatSim.org provides complete construction plans, software, and documentation.

Changes to AMSAT TLE Distribution for October 16, 2026

Two Line Elements or TLEs, often referred to as Keplerian elements or keps in the amateur community, are the inputs to the SGP4 standard mathematical model of spacecraft orbits used by most amateur tracking programs. Weekly updates are completely adequate for most amateur satellites. TLE bulletin files are updated daily in the first hour of the UTC day. New bulletin files will be posted immediately after reliable elements become available for new amateur satellites. More information may be found at https://www.amsat.org/keplerian-elements-resources/.

Bulletin format elements for all satellites of interest to radio amateurs. This file is updated at least every 24 hours.

Bare elements are derived from the bulletin, but contain no header or footer. These data are used as input to the AMSAT Pass Predictions page.

This week there are no additions or deletions to the AMSAT TLE distribution.

General Perturbations Data Support

AMSAT is pleased to announce that modern forms of what are called General Perturbations data are being disseminated via modern formats including JSON, XML and KVN at https://newark192.amsat.org/gpdata/current/. The reason this change is being made is that we are running out of 5-digit catalog numbers and the TLE format is not viable for satellites launched after July of this year. See https://celestrak.org/NORAD/documentation/gp-data-formats.php for details.

These data are presently considered in beta test for the next two months while hosted on the test server newark192.amsat.org, and we are very open to community feedback at webmaster [at] amsat.org. Testers may experience outages and errors while we make improvements. We intend to put this into production on our main web server in July as we expect that satellites launched after this summer will require one of the new formats to accommodate longer object numbers. AMSAT will continue to publish TLE bulletins for satellites launched before July 2026 indefinitely.
