OSCAR-100 SAT:
Amateur Radio is a self-regulating radio service, so please respect some rules when you are operating within the amateur satellite service, i.e. over a satellite transponder:
Not stronger than the Beacon, keep your signal below Beacon level.
No FM mode or any other modulation exceeding 2700 Hz bandwidth is allowed on the NB transponder.
No digital FM modes like C4FM, DSTAR and others, same rule as above!
No transmission below the lower CW beacon: the Amateur Satellites Service operate exclusively on a secondary basis in the band 2400-2450 MHz. You are responsibly for you own transmissions!
No transmission above the upper PSK beacon.
Please keep the “guardband” around the CW & PSK beacon free.of transmissions. If you transmit on 10489,795 MHz in USB, your spectrum will be up to .798 MHz and interfere with the PSK beacon.
The NB transponder is a bent-pipe transponder and non-inverting.
Uplink polarisation is RHCP (right-hand circular polarization).
Downlink polarisation for the NB transponder is V (vertical linear polarization).
Excessive signals might trigger LEILA warnings to remind you to reduce uplink power.
Full-Duplex operation is mandatory (you must be able to monitor your own downlink while transmitting!)
The Upper Beacon is modulated in 400 bit/s BPSK (similar to the P3-satellites).
The beacons are generated by the groundstation and will carry additional operational or maintenance information.
Remote operation over Internet (Gateway traffic) is undesirable and only permitted during disaster communication.
