Hello fellow FS-3 Users,
Great to see all the use of the BBS! It's robust and fun, so glad you all
are using it. It's seeing use around the world, based on the calls of the
uploads. Super.
I do want to share a tip, based on personal experience, with the PBBS.
Observation---it seems like the Directory can never be fully updated; your
station keeps requesting a directory update but there are still "holes" that
it can't seem to fill.
Solution---in GSC, go to Housekeeping/Directory Maintenance, select
Falconsat-3, and "check" the Remove Holes option, and then click "OK".
That will get you past the hiccup that seems to show up from time to time.
I have to do this about once every week or two at N8MH. I've seen some of
you in the "queue" for the full duration of the passes, so I expect that you
are stuck and can't quite it updated. Please do the above...
FS-3 is quite reliable and the bird has been operating over 2 years
continuously since the last upload of the filesystem. Quite a feat...AO-51
used to go for weeks or even months at a time, but we've never seen an
uptime like this:
PHT: uptime is 741/17:58:23. Time is Thu Nov 09 23:04:02 2017
Enjoy our "new" bird!
73,
Mark L. Hammond [N8MH]

WiSP directory maintenance for uploading [Complement]
1- Do "File Housekeeping" and "Directory Maintenance".
2- Delete any PUL (partial) and ULX (could not upload) file.
3- Delete "MSPE Dir Holes.DAT" in C:\wisp\(satellite) folder.
4- Change to [N] the unnecessary files at Status[S] in View-Dir.
5- It also works well on Windows10, 64bit OS.

Thanks for refresher course. It's been a long time since I've used Wisp
and I'm sure many others will appreciate this as well. Mr. Wakita's
screenshots were helpful.

What are the optimal settings on SDR# (e.g. filter, order, bandwidth,

PKZip that will be compatible with WiSP? Or how to configure WiSP to work

Steve,
Which dongle are you using?
I have found that the settings are not very sensitive, and the best to
worst, based on some fairly extensive A/B testing, vary no more than 10%.
My current values with my Airspy:
Blackman-Harris 7
BW 10K
Order 200
AGC Off !!!
Note that AO-85 is currently in a period of continuous illumination which
shifts the beacon frequency 1.5-2 KHz lower than normal. Some have found
that this is enough to decrease the throughput. That will end Wednesday,
and be back to normal a few days after that.
73s,
Alan

Myself and N4ESS will be driving a couple hours north this afternoon to the
EL89/99 gridline. First pass should be the 2248zwestern AO85 pass, so if
you?re an FM only op and need these grids, don?t miss the pass!
We?ll be sticking around until at least the 0010z FO29 pass with coverage
into EU and SA, and maybe a bit afterwards. I?ll be on linear passes of
CAS-4B, the XWs and whatever else is going over between AO85 and FO29, so if
you have linear capabilities and need the grids (or just want to say hi),
try not to clog up the FM pass! Give the FM only guys a chance.
Keep an eye on twitter @xxxxxxxxxxx and APRS nj4y-5 for updates...and if you
need a pass sked give me a shout!

JROTC at Burleson High, Burleson, Texas
Message-ID: <3478A55C7A5B4B67B3512CA442633632@xxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at TX-801st Air Force JROTC at Burleson High, Burleson, Texas
on 13 Nov. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 14:50 UTC. It is
recommended that you start listening approximately 10 minutes before this
time.The duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds.
The contact will be a telebridge between NA1SS and W6SRJ. The contact should
be audible over the west coast of the U.S. Interested parties are invited to
listen in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. The contact is expected to be
conducted in English.
The Burleson Independent School district educates almost 12,000 students,
the majority between the ages of four and nineteen. 67% of the student
population is White, 22% is Hispanic, and 6% is African American. The final
5% is a wide mix of ethnicities. 37% of the district's student population
participates in the federal Free/Reduced Lunch program. The predominant
native languages are English and Spanish, but 25 other native languages are
represented within the student population.
The district's vision is for every learner to graduate with 21st Century
problem solving and reasoning skills so that they are ready to embrace their
dynamic future in a global society. The AFJROTC objectives include ensuring
every cadet develops: an appreciation of the basic elements and requirements
for national security; respect for and an understanding of the need for
constituted authority in a democratic society; patriotism and an
understanding of their personal obligation to contribute to national
security; habits of orderliness and precision; a high degree of personal
honor, self-reliance, and leadership; a broad-based knowledge of the
aerospace age and fundamental aerospace doctrine, basic military skills; a
knowledge of and an appreciation for the traditions of the Air Force; and an
interest in completing high school and pursuing higher educational goals or
skills.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. Do any medications you take in space affect the body differently in space
than they would on Earth?
2. Research shows that spending so much time in space has some damaging
effects to the body. Could you please describe how any effects have
impacted you?
3. If you could safely visit another planet, which would it be and why?
4. Being in the International Space Station and having experienced different
situations, How has that changed the way you see Earth and space?
5. What obstacles did you have to overcome when you first arrived to space?
6. From your experiences on the ISS, would you live on Mars if possible?
7. Would you return to space in the event of colonizing another planet? Why
or why not?
8. What is the impact of losing your sense of smell when in space and how
long does it take to come back when you return to Earth?
9. Is there anything that can be done from space to minimize the impact of
deadly weather events, if so what?
10. I understand that mental exercises are a big part of the candidate
selection process to become an astronaut, but is there any way that one
can really be prepared for that kind of extended isolation? Were you?
11. Did you ever dream of being an astronaut when you were young? If so, is
it what you dreamed it would be?
12. In regards to space trash, how much will burn up in the atmosphere and
how much poses a danger to the planet?
13. I know that you use Electrolysis of water to create oxygen in the space
shuttle, but what would happen if you ran out of water? Is there a
alternate way to create oxygen?
14. What kinds of tasks has the Robonaut 2 accomplished in its tests on the
ISS?
15. Do you prefer to live in a gravitated environment or do you prefer
weightlessness?
16. What do you think is the most advanced modification to the ISS?
17. What are you hoping to accomplish from 3D printing things in space?
18. Can you provide an example of an experiment in space that has made a
major contribution to mankind?
19. Do you think the collaboration on the construction of the ISS from
contributing countries affected the relationships between them?

About ARISS:
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative
venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that
support the International Space Station (ISS). In the United States,
sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American
Radio Relay League (ARRL), the Center for the Advancement of Science in
Space (CASIS) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
The primary goal of ARISS is to promote exploration of science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics (STEM) topics by organizing scheduled contacts
via amateur radio between crew members aboard the ISS and students in
classrooms or informal education venues. With the help of experienced
amateur radio volunteers, ISS crews speak directly with large audiences in a
variety of public forums. Before and during these radio contacts, students,
teachers, parents, and communities learn about space, space technologies,
and amateur radio. For more informa
tion, see www.ariss.org, www.amsat.org, and www.arrl.org.
Thank you & 73,
