PS-62 PICO balloon HF JT9 WSPR
Hi all,
FYI,
PS-62 is planned to be launched this Sun 20th March 2016, around 7am.
Solar powered party balloon, 25mW TX
TX WSPR, JT9 on 30m only
Dial frequency 10.138700Mhz (standard WSPR dial frequency) for WSPR, JT9.
JT9 is at 1650Hz
See HF decoding info at http://picospace.net/?cat=34
Tracking as PS-62 on SNUS http://picospace.net/tracker/new
WSPR call sign is VK3YT http://wsprnet.org/olddb?findcall=vk3yt
TX scheduling
Minute - Band - Mode - Condition
:00 - 30m - 2 mins WSPR then two x 1 min JT9 - mandatory
:10 - 30m - 2 mins WSPR then two x 1 min JT9 - if batt full
:20 - 30m - 2 mins WSPR then two x 1 min JT9 - if batt full
:30 - 30m - 2 mins WSPR then two x 1 min JT9 - mandatory
:40 - 30m - 2 mins WSPR then two x 1 min JT9 - if batt full
:50 - 30m - 2 mins WSPR then two x 1 min JT9 - if batt full

I will be ready to go Sunday at 0900 NZDST. I will ring ZL3OF Ian so I hope
plenty of people will be tracking and auto reporting etc
All the best Murray ZL3MH

Nothing here yet is the 1650 off set right for JT9

Nice and strong here!
I was wondering why I wasn't decoding the JT9, then realised I had WSJT-x configured for the TS-2000 which rarely visits HF. Now waiting for the next block of telemetry to see if it's all working here.

I received a couple of VK3YT packets on WSPR overnight. Latest ones had it in QF45 then QF55.
Last one was :

The JT9 data showed the battery was near the low voltage shut off level at 15:30UTC. Seems it "went to sleep" and has just "woken up" again now (20:30 UTC) with sun on the solar panels.

Re: PS-62 PICO balloon HF JT9 WSPR
JT9 decodes are being received and forwarded to Andy's server but not making it through the system to update Habhub for some reason. Hopefully he can find time while busy with work to correct that.VK4ALF wrote:... i see there have been no JT9 reports on HABHUB for 45 minutes
