Shortly after I read the announcement on Thursday that FAST1 (AKA Sara Lilly)
was going to be put into the Digipeat mode, I plugged it into Satpc32 and saw
where I had a pass in 10 minutes for about 10 minutes. Here is what I was able
to get through and copy with 1200 baud packet on that December 1 pass around
14:50 UTC.
145.825 up and 437.345 down +- Doppler...

That's all she wrote... .  Haven't been able to Digi through it since. Only
a few telemetry frames have been copied to date. Maybe the battery was
depleted enough to cause the reset they were looking for.. To bad we couldn't
swap AO-51 batteries with them...

日本上空では beacon のみ。USA上空以外では、digipeater は望み薄です。

ISSシャドウ･ビーコン実験に登録し、自局もやっと実験参加することになったと
思っていたところ、この実験は来年春以降に(無期限)延期となってしまいました。
新しい無線機が ISSに搭載される予定ということなので、それに期待しましょう。

This weekend's Plasma Thrust space experiment using Amateur Radio has been
postponed until after the delivery of a new rig next April.

On the AMSAT bulletin board Andy G0SFJ passes on the following information:

It was earlier announced that the timetable of SpEx "Shadow-beacon" sessions
on November 26-27, 2011 was reduced because the crew are newcomers and need
more time to gain experience. For the same reason previously announced
sessions on December 2-5, 2011 are cancelled.

Sergey Samburov RV3DR, the employee of space-rocket corporation "Energia"
who is responsible for amateur radio on ISS, explains that the onboard radio
was accidentally switched on standard simplex 145.825 MHz not the required
duplex 144.360 / 145.825 MHz digipeater mode because of the old age of the
onboard gear. It has been in use more than 10 years. Sometimes Sergey has
already observed malfunction like this.

A new radio is planned to be delivered to the ISS by cargo vehicle in April
and Mission Control Center (TsUP) plans to hold new SpEx "Shadow-beacon"
sessions in May-June 2012.

Again many thanks for those submitted reports and made other assistance!
The results of data processing will be presented on our site. We wait for
further cooperation!
