Successful Ham Radio Contact between Students and Space Station
Excites and Inspires
"My best day as a teacher!" was educator Kathryn Craven's exuberant
reaction following a successful October 22 ham radio contact between
International Space Station (ISS) crew member Serena Au??n-Chancellor,
KG5TMT, and youngsters at Ashford School in Ashford, Connecticut. ARRL
Headquarters provided equipment for the Amateur Radio on the
International Space Station (ARISS)-sponsored event, and several ARRL
Headquarters staffers were among those assisting in setting up the
station, working with teachers, students, and the media, shooting
photos, and offering other support.

The entire student body of the kindergarten-through-eighth grade
school in northeastern Connecticut sat in rapt attention during the
event, as a dozen of their classmates spoke directly to
Au??n-Chancellor, who was at the helm of NA1SS on the ISS. Using
ARRL's equipment, members of the Eastern Connecticut Amateur Radio
Association (ECARA) set up the Earth station (KZ1M), with technical
and hands-on help from W1AW Station Manager Joe Carcia, NJ1Q, who also
assisted in summoning NA1SS for the approximately 10-minute pass.
One reporter asked Carcia what was being displayed on the large
screen. "I explained that the program we were using -- SatPC32 --
allowed us to see where the ISS is located and controlled the rotators
with respect to our location," he said.
Some Ashford School students have been studying microgravity and are
working on a research project that they hope will eventually be
selected to be conducted on the ISS. Au??n-Chancellor, the Mission
56/57 flight surgeon, answered 16 student questions that ranged from
"Do you wear sunscreen into space?" to "What is the hardest thing
about having zero gravity?" and "How many flips can you do?"
Others attending on behalf of ARRL were ARRL Lifelong Learning Manager
Kris Bickell, K1BIC; Lifelong Learning and Knowledge Department
ministrator Ally Riedel, KM3ALF; ARRL Communications Content Producer
Michelle Patnode, W3MVP, and ARRL Communications Manager David Isgur,
N1RSN.

"It was great!" Patnode said afterward. "The space station responded
right away, and everyone instantly got so excited."
Crews from four local television stations and print publication
reporters joined an audience of more than 400.
"We are so incredibly grateful to ARISS, ECARA, and ARRL for making
this possible for the entire Ashford School community," a statement on
the school's website said.
"Our students were literally bursting with excitement at the end of
the contact. Look out universe -- here comes the Mars generation!"
Ham Aid Kits Positioned to Deploy as Typhoon Yutu Ravages Central
Pacific Islands
In a little more than one day, the cyclone that became Super Typhoon
Yutu grew from tropical storm to a Category 5 monster. Yutu is said to
be the strongest storm on record to hit the Northern Mariana Islands,
home to about 55,000 people. The storm made landfall on Wednesday
evening (October 24), destroying homes, wreaking severe wind and
storm-surge damage and flooding, and knocking out water, power, and
telecommunications on the islands. Utilities could remain down for an
extended period.
Before reaching the islands, Yutu's sustained winds were reported to
be 175 MPH. The storm is now tracking northwest toward the Philippines
and Taiwan.
ARRL Emergency Preparedness Manager Mike Corey, KI1U, said that four
ARRL HF/VHF Ham Aid kits in Guam are available for use in the
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), a US territory.
Another seven kits are positioned in Hawaii. Corey said that radio
amateurs in Guam and Hawaii are attempting to get in touch with hams
who can assist on Saipan, part of the CNMI. Amateur Radio teams that
had planned to operate in the CQ World Wide SSB Contest from Saipan
this weekend have cancelled their trips.
"There is a small group of radio amateurs on Saipan who do VHF work,"
Corey said. "We are in process of reaching out to them, as well as to
radio amateurs who go to Saipan and Tinian for the CQ WW SSB event."
While Guam is reporting no serious communication issues, public
service communication on Saipan is offline. Several stations in
Hawaii, including large contest stations, have HF capability to Guam
and Saipan, and some have agreed to pass traffic to Guam/Saipan if
needed, Corey said.
One PACTOR-4-equipped station is available on Guam, and Winlink (radio
email) gateways exist in Hawaii.
"There are no transportation arrangements available to ARRL at this
time to move Ham Aid kits from Hawaii to Guam," Corey said. "We don't
intend to move them unless we have operators in Guam/Saipan to use
them."
The Marianas Amateur Radio Club (AH2G) in Guam has posted photos and
updates from Saipan on its website. Read more.
Waterlogged VP6D Ducie Island DXpedition Reported to be "Progressing
Well"
Significant rainfall this week hampered the ability of the VP6D Ducie
Island DXpedition team to erect additional antennas but did not dampen
spirits.
"It's been raining; we're waterlogged," an October 24 update said. "In
24 hours we expect a significant storm to pass through, with heavy
rainfall and up to 25-knot winds with potential for stronger gusts.
Pileups continue to be energetic and reasonably well behaved. One
request on SSB: please do not call over the station we're working."
At this point, VP6D is approaching 30,000 contacts with nearly 10,000
unique call signs. Some 4,000 contacts had been made on FT8 as of
October 24, and 141 DXCC entities were in the log. "We know some FT8
Qs are not in the log yet [but we're] working that problem," the
update said. The VP6D team has also acknowledged issues with the
near-live DXA online log display.
As the DXpedition got under way last weekend, operators reported that
signals on their end were loud. "We are progressing well," an earlier
update said, also noting that some callers were using the wrong
version of FT8. The correct version is WSJT-X 1.9.1 in DX mode, in
"hound" configuration.
The VP6D site consists of a main camp and kitchen, tents for sleeping,
and generators, with the SSB camp located at the main camp and a CW
camp about a 30-minute walk from the main camp.
A couple of Braveheart crew members are on the island to assist the
operators. The DXpedition is set to continue until November 3.
Ducie Island is the 19th most-wanted DXCC entity, according to Club
Log.
Practice Makes Perfect with FT8 and Other WSJT-X Protocols
FT8 co-developer Joe Taylor, K1JT, recommended in a recent post to the
Pack Rats reflector that those planning to use FT8 or other WSJT-X
protocols, such as MSK144, should practice using the software before
jumping into a contest or other activity. A short FT8 demonstration
contest will take place on Thursday, October 25, 0200 - 0300 UTC
(Wednesday, October 24, in North American time zones).
"[O]ne thing is for sure: Downloading the software and trying it out a
week before the contest is not a good plan, either for you or for
those of us who write and polish the software," Taylor said. "You need
practice and experience with the software before the contest." Taylor
reminded readers that the original motivation for developing nearly
all of the WSJT-X modes was VHF DXing and contesting; however, the
software became very popular on HF. A couple of major DXpeditions have
included FT8 in their mix of modes, and FT8 lately has been edging
into the contesting arena, with its inclusion in the ARRL RTTY Roundup
in 2019.
FlexRadio CEO Gerald Youngblood, K5SDR, recently suggested that FT8
has attained "killer app" or "tipping point" status in Amateur Radio.
The protocol permits working stations on seemingly "dead" bands,
countering the current dearth of sunspots, Youngblood pointed out, and
also lets operators of modest or antenna-restricted stations work HF
DX, just like larger, well-equipped stations.
FlexRadio CEO Gerald Youngblood, K5SDR.
"In my humble opinion, FT8 is at the very heart of what Amateur Radio
has been about from its inception -- amateurs who love the art of
radio enhancing the art of radio," Youngblood wrote. He continued,
speculating, "What will ultimately kill Amateur Radio is not FT8. To
the contrary, FT8 is an example of what will keep it alive and
relevant. What will kill Amateur Radio is if we cease to innovate,
become old and grumpy, and no longer bring new blood into the hobby."
Taylor believes that digital modes, such as FT8, can significantly
boost contact and multiplier totals in contests that permit its use,
not to mention in efforts to attain DXCC and other awards. "How best
to merge digi-modes into your operating plan, along with CW and SSB,
will be different for each station and each operator," he said. Read

Achieving a "Clean Sweep" is the Brass Ring of ARRL November
Sweepstakes
ARRL November Sweepstakes (SS) is just ahead. The popular operating
events -- one for CW and the other for phone (SSB) -- typically
attract approximately 3,000 logs combined. For this 77th running ARRL
November Sweepstakes, the CW event is November 3 - 5 (UTC), and phone
is November 17 - 19 (UTC), each starting at 2100 UTC on that Saturday
and running through 0259 UTC on that Monday. Stations may operate 24
of the available 30 hours. Logs are due within 7 days after the event
is over. Last year saw 1,275 entries for the CW weekend, while the
phone weekend attracted 1,674 logs.
The challenge of SS -- or "Sweeps" -- is to work as many stations in
as many of the 83 ARRL and Radio Amateurs of Canada (RAC) sections as
possible within the 24 hours available to operate. The number of
sections worked is a score multiplier. Making a "clean sweep" is the
goal of many SS aficionados -- working all 83 of the available US and
Canadian multipliers, and qualifying for a clean sweep coffee mug. In
the 2017 CW event, only 10 operators managed to work them all. Phone
participants had better luck, with 78 clean sweeps. Last year, Puerto
Rico (PR) and the US Virgin Islands (VI) were still reeling from
devastating hurricanes, making those sections rare.
At one time, the most difficult SS multiplier was Northern Territories
(NT) in Canada, where J. Allen, VY1JA, in Yukon Territory, was often
the only station available. That's changed now that the VY1JA station
not only has been thoroughly upgraded but can be remotely operated (as
VY1AAA), although by a Canadian operator, thanks to Gerry Hull,
W1VE/VE1RM, who told ARRL this week that VY1AAA is ready for SS
action.
Other hard ones in 2017 appear to have been Alberta (AB), Northern New
York (NNY), US Virgin Islands (VI), and Wyoming (WY).
SS is a "domestic" contest with broad appeal, and even stations with
modest equipment and antennas can enjoy success. Many stations like to
operate in the QRP category (output of 5 W or less), although that
challenge is more daunting at this point in the solar cycle.
SS and the Traffic-Handling Tradition
ARRL November Sweepstakes is the oldest domestic radiosport event (the
first was in 1930). The SS contest exchange has deep roots in
message-handling protocol and replicates a radiogram preamble. In SS,
stations exchange:
A consecutive serial number (NR). Operators do not have to add leading
zeros on numbers less than 100.
Operating category -- Q for Single Operator, QRP; A for Single
Operator, Low Power (up to 150 W output); B for Single Operator, High
Power (greater than 150 W output); U for Single Operator, Unlimited,
regardless of power; M for Multioperator, regardless of power, and S
for School Club.
Your call sign.
Check (CK) -- the last two digits of the year of first license for
either operator or station.
Section -- ARRL/RAC Section.
"Casual operators are very important to SS, so I would advise that if
you come across [operators] who just want to help you out with a QSO,
take the time to walk them through the proper exchange sequence, and
encourage them to work other stations and to submit a log," said
now-retired SS Manager Larry Hammel, K5OT. "Your patience might be
rewarded with a motivated op next year!"
The SS Operating Guide package, available for download, explains how
to participate in the Sweepstakes, including all rules and examples of
log formatting. Read more. -- Thanks to Gerry Hull, W1VE; Larry
Hammel, K5OT, and Bart Jahnke, W9JJ
ARISS Plan Under Consideration for NASA's Deep Space Gateway Program
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) International
delegates were pleased to learn last week that an ARISS plan is under
consideration by NASA's Deep Space Gateway (DSG) program. NASA Gateway
Utilization Manager John Guidi, ex-KF4YUI, informed those attending
the annual ARISS-International in-person meeting, held in College
Park, Maryland, that ARISS is the only noncommercial entity whose
ideas are under study by the program. The ARISS plan focuses on
Amateur Radio communication, including optical communication channels,
as well as equipment development, team cooperation, education, and
public outreach.
NASA Gateway Utilization Manager John Guidi, ex-KF4YUI, spoke at the
annual ARISS International in-person meeting.
"Naturally, because the NASA Deep Space Gateway program is so new and
has yet to be fleshed out, ARISS needs to follow NASA's lead in being
open to how the DSG program flows," ARISS-US Delegate for ARRL Rosalie
White, K1STO, explained. "ARISS's first moves need to be loose enough
that the plan, development, and execution can go in ways that dovetail
with what is needed."
The Deep Space Gateway would be a small outpost orbiting the moon that
would act as a "spaceport for human and robotic exploration to the
moon and beyond," NASA has said. Crewed by four people, it would
provide an operational platform for further exploring the lunar
surface and a hub to deeper space destinations. NASA hopes to have the
completed Gateway in lunar orbit as early as 2024.
The ARISS-International annual meeting on October 17 - 19 ran back to
back with the first-ever ARISS Education Summit, held October 15 - 16.
At the ARISS-International sessions, delegates and team members from
around the world presented and listened to talks on all aspects of
ARISS, from operations to education to hardware -- current and
upgrades -- to future projects. The team heard the latest news on
HamTV, the Interoperable Radio System, the antenna change-out required
by the European Space Agency's Bartolomeo platform, and proposed
Astrobee activities, HamTV II, and Radio-Pi projects.

ARISS-US Delegate for ARRL Rosalie White, K1STO; ARISS-Canada Delegate
for Radio Amateurs of Canada Glenn MacDonell, VE3XRA, and
ARISS-International Chair Frank Bauer, KA3HDO. At the meeting,
MacDonell was designated as one of the two ARISS-Canada delegates.
Astrobee is a robot that will fly around the ISS with the astronauts
to help scientists and engineers develop and test technologies for use
in zero-gravity, aid astronauts with routine chores, and offer Houston
flight controllers additional eyes and ears on the spacecraft.
Team members enjoyed viewing a live-streamed ARISS contact in Belgium.
Team members unable to travel to Maryland were able to teleconference
into the sessions.
On hand for the earlier ARISS Education Summit were teachers from the
US and elsewhere; ARISS-US Education Committee members; STEM educators
from College Park Airport Museum; education leaders from various NASA
entities, including the Space Communications and Navigation (SCaN)
office, nearby Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), and the manager of
the ISS US National Laboratory -- Center for the vancement of Science
in Space (CASIS); a group of SCaN-sponsored mid-Atlantic teachers, and
University of Maryland educators and students. Attendees saw a
demonstration of ARISS slow-scan television (SSTV) and several ham
satellite contacts. ARISS-US Education Committee teacher Melissa Pore,
KM4CZN, arrived from Virginia with eight of her students, who talked
about their ARISS-related STEM studies. Read more. -- Thanks to

Detained Norwegian Radio Amateur Allowed to Leave Chad
A tense situation involving a Norwegian radio amateur that reached the
diplomatic and foreign ministry level in the African Republic of Chad
has now been resolved. Kenneth Opskar, LA7GIA, had only operated as
TT8KO for about a day before security police shut down his station on
October 10. At that point, he'd logged and uploaded 2,150 contacts and
had installed all antennas except a 160-meter vertical. Opskar
considered the incident a minor distraction, until he was told that he
had to remain in Chad pending undetermined scrutiny of his station and
activity. Now, after having been detained in Chad for more than a
week, Opskar said on October 24 that he's free to go.
"I received the news that I can leave Chad immediately," Opskar told
DX-World, which has been posting updates on a running basis. His solo
DXpedition is over, however.
"I am not allowed to transmit. All antennas are to be taken down today
before sunset, because there is a presidential event at the hotel
tomorrow, and he will be here," Opskar said. "[The] hotel is now
packed with VIPs, police, and military personnel. I am done with
sightseeing, so my flight is booked for tomorrow."
Initially, Opskar had remained optimistic that all would be well after
the security police chief's personal inspection of his equipment.
Things got more stressful on October 13, however, after he underwent
two interrogations by the security police. "My gear has been
disconnected," he said at the time. "The antennas on the roof are
locked down, [and] I cannot access them even for visual inspection or
maintenance. I am not allowed to touch anything."
On October 14, Opskar reported that the security police had deemed all
of his documents to be in order, but then was told that the security
police needed to confer with ARCEP, Chad's telecommunications
regulator.
Opskar made plans to leave Chad on October 18, but he was not
permitted to disassemble his equipment until an inspection was
completed. However, on October 18, Opskar reported that a police order
had been issued preventing him from leaving Chad, even without his
equipment. The Norwegian embassy and foreign ministry then stepped in
to work on the matter.
Opskar said the many encouraging emails every day from DXers around
the world helped to keep up his spirit, in addition to the support he
received from his hotel's staff.
In Brief...
Dwayne Allen, WY7FD, resigned on October 19 as Rocky Mountain Division
Director. In a letter to ARRL President Rick Roderick, K5UR, Allen
cited time constraints and competing duties with work and family. The
Secretary of the Corporation declared the position vacant, and in
accordance with Article 7 of the Articles of Association, Vice
Director Jeff Ryan, K0RM, has assumed the Director position. President
Roderick will appoint a new Vice Director.
Boy Scouts of America Jamboree on the Air (JOTA) Coordinator Jim
Wilson, K5ND, is urging JOTA participants to file post-JOTA reports.
JOTA and the companion Jamboree on the Internet (JOTI) took place over
the October 19 - 21 weekend. The reporting system combines JOTA and
JOTI reports. "It's critical that we demonstrate the activity level
for this event to support further work in developing support systems,
information, and activities for the 2019 JOTA-JOTI event," Wilson
said. Station information will be compiled into the US JOTA-JOTI
report and filed with the World Organization of the Scout Movement for
their overall 2018 JOTA-JOTI report. More than 9,000 locations signed
up on the World JOTA-JOTI website.
WRTC 2018 QSL cards are on order. World Radiosport Team Championship
2018 (WRTC 2018) chair Christian Janssen, DL1MGB, says QSL cards for
contacts with the competing Y8-prefix stations are now at the printer.
WRTC 2018 will not automatically send QSL cards, but everyone who
wants a paper QSL will get one. Janssen said all logs have been
uploaded to Club Log for request via the Online QSL Requests (OQRS)
system and recommends using it to request cards by Y8 call sign (OQRS
lets stations worked to request QSL cards through a log search on Club
Log. It's available to registered Club Log users). "Please don't send
paper QSL cards to us," Janssen advised. All contacts have been
uploaded to Logbook of The World (LoTW). If a contact is not showing
up in LoTW, contact WRTC 2018.
The K7RA Solar Update
Tad Cook, K7RA, Seattle, reports: We saw no sunspots during the
October 18 - 24 reporting week, so the average daily sunspot number
dropped from 12.6 to 0. The average daily solar flux declined from 71
to 70.4. Geomagnetic indicators were quieter, with the average daily
planetary A index declining from 7.4 to 3.3, and the average daily
middle latitude A index dropping from 7.3 to 2.1.
Predicted solar flux is 70 on October 25 - 26; 68 on October 27 -
November 5; 70 on November 6 - 18; 69 on November 19 - 20; 68 on
November 21 - December 2, and 70 on December 3 - 8.
Predicted planetary A index is 8 on October 25 - 26; 5 on October 27;
8 on October 28 - 29; 5 on October 30 - November 2; 22 and 20 on
