Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed
John, V47JA/W5JON, has been operating on SO-50
from St. Kitts with some success. The problem for
him is that there is terrain in the way from about
320 degrees, north to east. So he is limited to what
he can work from his house there.
John is putting together what he will need to operate
portable from the top of the hill where he will be able
to see down to the horizon to the north. Once he has
everything together he will be able to work down low
and work more stations in the US. He is using an Arrow
antenna and two FM mobile units. He is not a newcomeer
to the birds but hasn't operated since the HEO's went away
years ago.
He will be on St. Kitts for a few weeks and he hopes to work
everyone that needs it. SO-50 only. He will QSL via
LOTW but might wait until he returns to Texas to get everyone
uploaded.

Hi,
Details of our club "Special Event Station " planned operations.
Apologies for any typo's or gaps that may transpire in the format and word
wrap. The format when I post out
does not seem to be as it appears on my screen when I prepared the
message.
In view of this I have edited and revised my previous version and trust

Her Majesty's Royal Mint special event. (GB4RME)
Members of the Barry Amateur Radio Society will be operating from "Her
Majesty's Royal Mint"
located at Llantrisant, South Wales,UK
Call sign - GB4RME (Royal Mint Experience )
July 30th - August 5th 2017.
Locator: IO81HN WAB:ST08
The hours of operation on a daily basis have been limited, but we expect
to operate between 0800 - 1730 hrs GMT.
It does restrict operation for satellite and passes in addition of course
AO-73 operates in data mode Monday to Friday when illuminated (Auto mode).
However on the first day of the event ( Sunday 30th July )
and the last day (Saturday 5th August ) the transponder mode should be
available if commanded on.
Some satellites may only have early passes on a daily basis and if I
cannot get access to our op's room on site, I may have to use a portable
set up
from the car park
The general other activities of the event and the special call will be on
the HF bands using :
CW, SSB, DATA RTTY and JT65.
This event will also include an exhibition and demonstrations of "Amateur
Radio."
For example - How amateur radio is used together with amateur satellites
and the ISS, in a role
play for education and furthering a career. ( STEM ).
Note also this event also co-incident with the event taking place for
"YOTA 2917" ( GB17YOTA )
and should be significant as a prime contact for youngsters participating
from world wide.
Saturday 5th August is our final day of operation but the first day for the
"YOTA GB17YOTA " teams.
This special event station is a world first, operating from within a Mint,
and a Royal one of course.
Details about the mint can be viewed at:
http://www.royalmint.com/en/the-royal-mint-experience
QSL via GW0ANA, direct, by the Bureau, LoTW and ClubLog.
There will be a Web page set up for the operation on QRZ.com.

I will activate up to 9 Maine grids over the next 3 days, including FN56,
FN57, FN66, and FN67. Most activity will be Sunday and Monday. I will be on
FM and linear sats.
I have no set schedule and more to do than operate satellites, but will
make a solid effort to fill holes in your grid maps.
QSOs will be uploaded to LoTW after the trip using N1AIA.

IARU Aligns Satellite Coordination Guidelines with ITU WRC-15 Decisions
As the global federation of national associations of radio amateurs in more
than 150 countries, the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU) for many
years has provided frequency coordination services for amateur satellites
free of charge. Often these satellites are constructed by students at
universities and other institutions as a part of their educational
experience. In general, they have been licensed to operate in the amateur-
satellite service, which is defined by the Radio Regulations of the
International Telecommunication Union (ITU) as having the ??purpose of
self-training, intercommunication and technical investigations carried out
by amateurs, that is, by duly authorized persons interested in radio
technique solely with a personal aim and without pecuniary interest.?
Some administrations have issued experimental licenses for such satellites
operating in amateur-satellite frequency bands. The IARU has coordinated
these satellites as well, to reduce the possibility of harmful interference
that might result from uncoordinated operation. Since 1 July 2014 it has
not been possible to coordinate experimental satellites in the 144-146 MHz
band because of the high probability of harmful interference in this
heavily used band.
Educational satellite projects have grown in popularity as launch
opportunities have increased. In 2012 the ITU World Radiocommunication
Conference took note of the proliferation of what in Resolution 757
(WRC-12) it called ?nanosatellites and picosatellites? and invited WRC-18
(now scheduled for 2019) to consider steps to facilitate their deployment
and operation. Two Reports, ITU-R SA.2312 (09/2014) and ITU-R SA.2348
(05/2015), are instructive regarding the characteristics, definitions,
spectrum requirements, and notification procedures of and for such
satellites, which generally must use spectrum below 1 GHz for operational
reasons.
At the following WRC in 2015, in place of Resolution 757 the Member States
of the ITU adopted Resolution 659 (WRC-15) in which it was noted that the
use of 144-146 MHz and 435-438 MHz by non-amateur satellites is not in
accordance with the definition of the amateur-satellite service in the
Radio Regulations. Resolution 659 cites the two reports mentioned above and
makes it clear that the spectrum needs of what are now called ?non-
geostationary satellites with short duration missions? should be met either
within the service in which the space station is operating or within the
space operation service. Further, if new or upgraded allocations to the
space operation service are required, studies should be limited to the
frequency ranges 150.05-174 MHz and 400.15-420 MHz.
Accordingly, effective 1 August 2017 the IARU will be following revised
guidelines for satellite frequency coordination.
The strong preference is for all satellites using spectrum allocated to the
amateur and amateur-satellite services to operate under amateur licenses
and within the definition of the amateur-satellite service and the service-
specific Article 25 of the Radio Regulations. The IARU believes the
definition is sufficiently broad to encompass nearly all educational
satellite projects that include giving students hands-on experience with
radiocommunication and are conducted under an amateur license.
The IARU will only coordinate a non-amateur satellite if an administration
directs in writing that it be operated in an amateur-satellite band under
an experimental or other non-amateur
license.
Satellites with combined amateur and non-amateur missions will continue to
be coordinated.

Have you seen the Mayak satellite?
By Deborah Byrd, EarthSky News in HUMAN WORLD | SPACE | July 18, 2017
http://earthsky.org/space/mayak-bright-russian-satellite-july-august-2017
On July 14, an amateur group in Russia launched a small satellite
called Mayak. They said it would become the ?brightest shooting star?
in the sky. Why?d they do it? Here?s how to look for it.
A team of young Russians ? led by Moscow State Mechanical Engineering
University (MAMI) ? managed to raise more than $30,000 on Russian
crowdfunding website Boomstarter, in order to launch their own small
satellite. The satellite is called Mayak, which means beacon in English.
It?s a cubesat, roughly the size of a loaf of bread. And it?s up there.
Mayak went into space on July 14, 2017, as part of a secondary payload,
launched on a Soyuz 2.1v vehicle from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
It?ll be orbiting Earth, about 370 miles (600 km) high, for the coming
month. It?s supposed to be very, very bright, so bright that it would,
supposedly, ruin night skies and threaten astronomy.
Satellite tracking websites like Heavens Above are already trying to
follow it, hoping to offer information on Mayak?s passes over various
parts of the world. Heavens Above commented: "A new small satellite
has just been launched which will deploy a large reflector once in
orbit and has the potential to be very bright. We now have a
provisional orbit from Space-Track which you can use to generate
predictions. Please note that the magnitude estimates are possibly
very inaccurate until actual observations are reported."
Heavens-Above.com now has pass predictions up for the new Russian
reflector sat "Mayak," listing it as NORAD ID 2017-042F/42830.
http://www.heavens-above.com/PassSummary.aspx?satid=42830
Plus Mayak has its own app, available to those who back the project.
See: http://cosmomayak.com/default#mobileapp
How bright is Mayak? Brightness estimates have varied, but the
idea was that it would be the brightest shooting star in the sky.
Some estimated it would be nearly as bright as Venus, the sky?s
brightest planet. Its brightness is part of its purpose, which
is partly, simply, to inspire people.
From Mayak?s website: The main objective of the project is to
make cosmonautics and space research poplar in Russia, as well
as to make scientific and technical researches attractive to
youth.
Also from Mayak?s website:
Question: Why did you build the satellite?
Answer: Everyone is used to think that flying into space is a
privilege of state and military corporations. We wanted to
prove that space is simpler and closer than it seems, and a
team of enthusiasts can launch a satellite into space!
This The video shows Mayak?s launch, along with 72 other
satellites, on July 14, 2017 at 9:36 Moscow Time from the
Baikonur cosmodrome: https://youtu.be/E0X0KfEnJAk

I wrote about my experiences receiving the ISS SSTV images on
https://idefix.net/~koos/newsitem.cgi/1500644468
the short is that I decided to leave the recording to the computer all
night and decoded the images afterwards because all passes happened during
the night and I wanted to get my sleep.
I wrote that article Friday evening. On Saturday evening the webmaster of
my local chapter of my radioclub saw my story (in English) and asked
whether he could use this on our own site. I helped him with a Dutch
version which got published on the site this Sunday morning.
https://a08.veron.nl/slapend-iss-sstv-beelden-ontvangen/ in Dutch, with a
bit more emphasis on the 'while sleeping'.
The communications department of the nationwide radioclub saw the story
come up on the local site and decided to send out a tweet about it,
https://twitter.com/VERON_Nederland/status/889037830370054144 in Dutch,
praising the pictures and the story.

In a few hours I will activate FM13 on the 2137 UTC SO-pass (2017-07-23).
Possibly will try FM13/FM14 if I can find a spot on it.

Subject: [amsat-bb] SatPC32 with IC7000 flipping back and forth
Message-ID: <1857686110.3393370.1500846968906@xxxx.xxxxx.xxx>

Hi,
I have SatPC32 connected to my IC-7000 with a USB CAT cable, Win-7.I've got
it controlling the radio except it has one problem. If I select lets say
AO-73, It puts the radio in Split mode and enters 145.96 in the RX side and
435.14 in the TX side. That is perfect, however about ever 4 seconds it
flips the frequencies putting 435.14 in the RX side and 145.96 in the TX
side. It only stays there for about a nano second and flips back. It keeps
doing this continuously. I have tried all the CAT delays, and intervals with
no success.
Cant seem to find anything in the help files about this. What am I messing?
thanks,
Michael KC4ZVAEL98

I got a nice picture downloaded from ISS using MMSSTV this morning, but
I can't remember how to save just the picture, say as jpg or gif file. I
was able to "Copy" and "Paste" it into a Word document and save it that
way, but how do you Save it directly from MMSSTV as a jpg or gif?
I couldn't find a "Save" or "Save As" under the File tab.

Hi Steve,
> how to save just the picture, say as jpg
On my MMSSTV the pictures are stored under the 'History' button. The 'RX'
button shows what is currently being received. Well anyways, click on
'History', select the image you want, then right click on that image. There
outta be a 'Copy as JPEG format' option in that menu.
