Sorry for the noise but I just wanted to share a script I created to notify and alert when a new observation is scheduled in a station in case someone needs it.
Basically I just created it for myself, to get a notification on Discord everytime there is a new observation scheduled on my station, so it’s not very completed neither it can do many things. However if someone finds it useful and wants to contribute or has some ideas I can implement, please feel free.
Not noise, cool that you coded something that you found useful.
Quick note, the -client uses this uri, maybe faster, not sure: https://network.satnogs.org/api/jobs/?ground_station={GROUND_STATION_ID}
Station 3977 yours ?
Thank you so much for your feedback, I really appreciate it! Thanks for the note! I saw that endpoint as well on the API documentation; however, I found there is more data on the /observations endpoint. For example, the observer value to see who requested the observation is only available there
And yes sir! That station is mine I have been playing with it for a while but never got it running. Yesterday I found a new location where it may work and I am currently giving it another try, but I must say it’s been a hard work (specially when one has 0 idea about radio like me lol)
I would like to give this a try. I switch antennas between my different radios and often miss passes to the point I am ready to buy an RF switch or put up another UHF antenna.
Regarding the station, welcome to a deep rabbit hole (:
It’s a pretty fun adventure, but requires patience and some research/questioning. No doubt you’ll tinker and adjust until it works well.
Well, this obs looks ok, a bit weak but still a clearly visible signal.
A (filtered) preamp/LNA is a great start when put as close to the antenna as possible.
On VHF the biggest enemy is usually the broadcast FM signals which are quite strong, strong enough to mess with our signals of interest tens of MHz up. But it is internal to the sdr’s, the strong out of band signals mess with the tuner and mixer causing it to show up where they aren’t. The band-stop filter is a cheap way to deal with this.
On UHF it is usually higher losses in the coaxes, so you will benefit from a filtered preamp, might get away with a broad band preamp depending on your local RF environment.
