Who's Doing Digital ATV

Here is an email from Dave G8ADM:

Hi
The following are known to be active on 70cm with Digital

ATV.
There has been quite an increase during 2009.
If you know of any others, please let me know.
Most stations transmit on 436.0 MHz and use a Symbol

Rate of 2 MS/s FEC varies, RF bandwidth about 2 MHz.

Talkback: 144.750 MHz, FM.
I hope that this is of interest.
73's, Dave. G8adm

Another DATV Update

from Ken, W6HHC

Hi Bryon N6IFU,

Here is a DATV update that you may want to put in your

ATV newsletter.

I just finished a small project for TAPR, the organization

that puts on the Digital Communications Conference each

year jointly with the ARRL. My project was to get all of the

DCC 2009 ABSTRACTS and free downloads of PDFs
of conference papers up on the TAPR WEB site.

The TAPR web site also now has two recent PowerPoint

files on DATV (downloadable) that were both presented

in 2009:

"Digital Television - the new Ham frontier" by WA8RMC

of ATCO

"Planning a DATV Station on DVB-S” by W6HHC and

KB6CJZ of OCARC

The full set of DCC2009 presentation files can be found at:

www.tapr.org/pub_dcc.html

I hope that some of your readers may find internet access

to these DATV presentations useful.

Repairs Needed for the ATN-CA Repeaters
________________________________________
Blueridge:

1. Establish link from Mt. Potosi
Mt. Wilson:
Oat Mtn.:
1. Replace plastic wire ties with appropriate fasteners.
2. Tune 2.4 GHz link dipole for better SWR. It would be a

good idea to sweep the 1200 MHz antenna at the same

time as well.
Santiago Peak:
1. Remove KC6UQH's call and Palomar from the W6ATN

repeaters ID's (late spring early summer 08 when the new controller is installed)
2. Look into weak signal getting into one of the inputs.

3. Find intermittent receive problem for link from Oat Mtn..(1/24/09)

4. Resolve problems with WiFi getting into receiver for Snow Peak

& Point Loma (April 28, 2009)

5. Install new 5 GHz transmitter once it is repaired (3/10/09)

Snow Peak:

1. 2.4 Ghz input is operational but has audio problems due to

receiver problems on the network hub.. July 23, 2009

2. The 1200 MHz output does work and you can watch.

Point Loma, W6RDF: No Repairs Needed/Fully Operational

Trustee Robert Swain, KA4JSR

1. Off the air do to AC problems at the shack.

Mount Potosi:
