a valid passcode for your callsign.<br>

Only Bob can answer what PSAT inserts into a digipeated packet,
but yes, I believe it responds to ARISS as a digipeat-able alias.<br>

be leaving my APRSIS igate up all night. May as well leave it up

d/RS0ISS*/W3ADO-1/ARISS<br>

Since Bob mentioned that ARISS is one of the aliases, is this
filter good as-is? i.e. It won't ignore PSAT?<br>

<div>I use GPredict, which leans on celestrak for TLE's.
I don't think I can/should manually enter TLE's into
that program. They might get wiped out with the next
network TLE refresh -- or go stale otherwise. If the
PSAT TLE's aren't yet part of the celestrak feed, is
there a web site out there (e.g. ariss.net, aprs.fi,
etc.) providing PSAT tracking? Would also be nice to
see some web-based tracking integration with
openstreetmap.org -- it's becoming quite polished
lately. If time permitted, I'd tinker with that myself.<br>

I'm trying to track the orbit for PSAT using celestrak
TLE however, can't seem to find him there. Can someone
share where one can find the TLE for PSAT<br>

I currently have an Icom AH-7000 discone monitoring
145.825 for the ISS digipeter running 24/7.<br>
<div><br>
</div>
Go to <a moz-do-not-send="true"
class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E"
href="http://WA8LMF.net/map" target="_blank"><http://WA8LMF.net/map></a>
and follow the links there.<br>
<div><br>
</div>
It appears to be not very effective for high-elevation
RX. I assume the <br>
discone has more of a vertical dipole-like pattern that
favors the horizon rather than over head, perhaps with
slightly fatter lobes than a normal vertical dipole. As
I often say, it's equally poor at all frequencies from<br>
50-1000 MHz.....<br>
<div><br>
</div>
I assume the 3/4-wave vertical, over an adequate ground
plane, would have multiple lobes with one up-tilted
substantially, and would favor high-angle RX better than
the discone. Albeit with still a null at at or near the
zenith.<br>
<div><br>
</div>
Any sense how the 3/4-wave compares with the discone?<br>
<div><br>
</div>
I am considering building a Lindenblad antenna (four
1/2-wave dipoles arranged in a horizontal square with
each one tilted about 30 degrees from horizontal) that
supposedly creates a nearly hemispherical pattern that
is circularly polarized at the zenith. Apparently the
FAA uses these to communicate with aircraft anywhere
from the horizon to directly overhead.<br>
<div><br>
</div>
Anyone have experience with the Lindenblad for satellite
downlinks on 2M? How <br>
does it compare with the other two above?<br>
<div><br>
