T8B01: What telemetry information is typically transmitted by satellite beacons? Health and status of the satellite What is the impact of using too much effective radiated power on a satellite uplink? Blocking access by other users T8B03: Which of the following are provided by satellite tracking programs? Maps showing the real-time position of the satellite track over the earth The time, azimuth, and elevation of the start, maximum altitude, and end of a pass The apparent frequency of the satellite transmission, including effects of Doppler shift All of these choices are correct T8B04: What mode of transmission is commonly used by amateur radio satellites? SSB FM CW/data All of these choices are correct T8B05 : What is a satellite beacon? A transmission from a satellite that contains status information Which of the following are inputs to a satellite tracking program? The Keplerian elements T8B07: With regard to satellite communications, what is Doppler shift? An observed change in signal frequency caused by relative motion between the satellite and the station T8B08: What is meant by the statement that a satellite is operating in mode U/V? The satellite uplink is in the 70 centimeter band and the downlink is in the 2 meter band T8B09: What causes spin fading of satellite signals? Rotation of the satellite and its antennas What do the initials LEO tell you about an amateur satellite? The satellite is in a Low Earth Orbit Who may receive telemetry from a space station? Anyone who can receive the telemetry signal T8B12: Which of the following is a good way to judge whether your uplink power is neither too low nor too high? Your signal strength on the downlink should be the same as the beacon T8C Operating activities: radio direction finding; radio control; contests; linking over the – internet; grid locators
