Can anyone suggest any current UHF downlink 9600 digital birds (other
than FS3) to use for testing a station?? They must have high
inclinations to be visible from Fairbanks, AK.
Thanks,

skCUBE has a UHF 9600 baud GMSK downlink and is in a polar orbit.
There are a few others, but that one immediately comes to mind.

International Space Station Astronauts are Calling CQ Students ?
ARISS-US program education proposal deadline is November 15, 2017
September 18, 2017: The Amateur Radio on the International Space
Station (ARISS) program is seeking proposals from U.S. schools,
museums, science centers and community youth organizations to host
radio contacts with an orbiting crew member aboard the International
Space Station (ISS) between July 1 and December 31, 2018.
Each year, ARISS provides tens of thousands of students with oppor-
tunities to learn about space technologies and space communications
through the exploration of Amateur Radio. The program provides
learning opportunities by connecting students to astronauts aboard
the International Space Station (ISS) through a partnership between
NASA, the American Radio Relay League, the Radio Amateur Satellite
Corporation and other Amateur Radio organizations and worldwide
space agencies. The program?s goal is to inspire students worldwide,
to pursue interests and careers in science, technology, engineering
and mathematics (STEM) through Amateur Radio.
Educators overwhelmingly report that student participation in the
ARISS program inspires an interest in STEM subjects and in STEM
careers. Ninety-two percent of educators who have participated in
the program have indicated that ARISS provided ideas for encourag-
ing student exploration, discussion, and participation, and 78
percent said that ARISS was effective in stimulating student
interest in STEM.
ARISS is looking for organizations that will draw large numbers
of participants and integrate the contact into a well-developed
education plan. Students can learn about satellite communications,
wireless technology, science research conducted on the space
station, what it is like to work in space, radio science, and any
related STEM subject. Students learn to use Amateur Radio to talk
directly to an astronaut and ask their STEM-related questions.
ARISS will help educational organizations locate Amateur Radio
groups who can assist with equipment for this once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity for students.
The proposal deadline for 2018 contacts is November 15, 2017.
The ARISS website has additional details on expectations, proposal
guidelines, and the proposal form. See:
http://www.ariss.org/hosting-an-ariss-contact-in-the-us.html
****************************************************************************
**
ARISS is always glad to receive listener reports for the above contacts.
ARISS thanks everyone in advance for their assistance. Feel free to send
your reports to aj9n@xxxxx.xxx or aj9n@xxx.xxx.
Listen for the ISS on the downlink of 145.8? MHz.
****************************************************************************
***
All ARISS contacts are made via the Kenwood radio unless otherwise noted.
****************************************************************************

Several of you have sent me emails asking about the RAC ARISS website and
not being able to get in. That has now been changed to
http://www.ariss.org/
Note that there are links to other ARISS websites from this site.

Looking for something new to do? How about receiving DATV from the ISS?
If interested, then please go to the ARISS-EU website for complete
details. Look for the buttons indicating Ham Video.

If you need some assistance, ARISS mentor Kerry N6IZW, might be able to
provide some insight. Contact Kerry at kbanke@xxxxxxxxx.xxx

I will be in Mississippi this weekend to activate EM50 and EM51.? Plan is to
spend all day Saturday in EM50, then head to EM50 | EM51 gridline for first
half of day on Sunday.? This will be a mix of FM and Linear to help ease
congestion on the FM birds, and, hopefully satisfy everyone that needs of
these grids or Mississippi for WAS.
Note:? KG5GJT will activate EM40 in MS and K0FFY will activate EM22 on
Saturday.? Believe both will only be operating on AO-85.? If you have the
capability to work linears, this may be your safest bet.? We all know how FM
birds can be on the weekend.
Here is my plan: (all times UTC)
Saturday 11/18 EM50 (MS)1328 FO-29 71E1344 SO-50 66SW1415 CAS4B 37SE1515

i assume that 9600baud set#23 auto transfers to sub band on tx??
so any thoughts??

Bruce,
Make certain that you see the 9600 baud icon when you transmit. It is
possible to set the VFOs to different rates.
Also, the FT-847 requires a _much_ higher drive level on 9600 baud than 1200
baud. Not all TNCs can do that without modification.
Setting deviation is much harder, and really requires deviation meter.
Suggest you start low, and work your way up.
73s,
Alan
