An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at The English School, Nicosia, Cyprus on 24 Jan. The event is
scheduled to begin at approximately 10:35 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.
Watch for live stream at www.cyhams.org/ariss.html .
The English School is a co-educational day school attended by students
between the ages of 11 and 19. It is situated in Nicosia, the capital of
Cyprus. The medium of instruction is English and entry to the school is
highly competitive. The school was founded in 1900 and currently has around
1100 mainly Cypriot students who are a rich mixture of the many different
ethnic communities on the island. The school prides itself on its dynamic
student body and strong academic tradition. Students in the school are
encouraged to become life-long learners with the ability to analyse, think
critically, question, and be flexible in preparation for the challenges they
will face. One of the School's strengths is its vast range of
extracurricular activities and clubs which students are encouraged to join.
Currently, there are over 70 clubs and societies. The Amateur Radio Club
(5B4ES), is one of these active societies. 5B4ES has been operating for 47
years, has a strong membership, and is a lic
ensed radio amateur member. The Amateur Radio Club, together with the
Astronomy Club, has been core to the ARISS project. The English School,
Nicosia is committed to the principle of equal opportunities for all and
seeks to uphold the rights of every individual within the school community.
It celebrates diversity, and its ethos is one of trust, mutual respect, and
understanding of each other's culture, ethnicity, religion, gender, and
individual needs.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. What experiment are you currently working on?
2. How is the ISS protected from impact with space debris?
3. What are the contingency plans if there is a puncture in the hull?
4. How important is the presence of amateur radio equipment on the ISS?
5. What is your main role on the ISS?
6. Do you get criticized by people who believe in conspiracy theories?
7. How much free time do you have on a mission?
8. What is the most dangerous situation you have had to deal with on the ISS?
9. Are your dreams affected by being in space?
10. How long can the ISS maintain its orbit without a rocket boost?
11. What do you believe is the most important attribute needed to become an
astronaut?
12. Do you get informed if you have a family emergency?
13. What does the ISS smell like?
14. What happens if you get sick or injured during your mission?
15. If we could send you something right now, what would it be?

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,
David - AA4KN

Hi Robert,
I use an SSB Electronics UTM 1200dlx converter, that I originally
purchased for AO-51.? I believe that it is no longer in production but
there may be used units out there.
5W in, 15W out, powered via a power injector in the coax line.? It's
weatherproof and I used it outside several years before I moved the
antennas "inside".
An FT-817 is a perfect IF radio although I'm sure there are others you
could use.? The UTM was designed for 1268-1270 MHz with 144-146 MHz
input, so in order to get on AO-92 you need to account for that.? I have
the older FT-817 not-ND so it's just a menu setting to open it up.? I
switched to my FT-857 for AO-92 though because I think my 817 finals
gave up the ghost just in time for launch.??? :-D
The FT-857 mod to allow the 143 MHz operation was easy for me, if anyone
is interested, and that says a lot since I'm not someone who you want to
try soldering anything under 1/8 W resistor size or so.?
It has done a great job for me on both AO-51 and so far, AO-92.? It has
been turn it on, operate, forget that it's there.? I don't have any
power measuring equipment for 1.2 GHz but I believe from the AO-51 use
feeding through a lot of coax and watching on my SDR now, even down to
1/2 W in produces 1.2 GHz power out.? Found that out when the 817 power
went low but I switched to the 857 just to be sure I had full output for
testing and commissioning AO-92.
Maybe eBay or a hamfest might turn something up for anyone who is
interested.
I didn't find much on an internet search when I was looking for a manual
the other day, the only hint I found was an (old?) SSBUSA price list.

Hi Robert,
For base rigs you forgot the Icom 1271, 1275. and Icom 970. There was even
a 2.4ghz module for the 970 to cover the satellite portion of that band.
There is also the Standard C50 which is an FM only rig but of the
basestation size.
For HTs there are there also the Icom Delta 1, the Icom 12AT, the Yaesu
FT911, the Icom X2A, the Icom X21A, the Kenwood TH89, Yaesu FT2303, Kenwood
TH55 and TH59, and the Standard C628. Standard also had a couple of
triband HTs I didn't count because they only did 35 milliwatts on 23cm.
For mobile rigs, in addition to what you listed there is the Standard
C6000, the Icom delta 100, the Icom 120, Icom 1200 and 1201, Icom 2500,
Icom 3700, Kenwood TM521, Kenwood TM531, Kenwood TM541, Kenwood TR50,
Kenwood TM833, Yaesu FT912, Yaesu FT2311, Yaesu FT2312, Yaesu FT5800, Yaesu
FT6200, and a old model with the designation FT7800, it was a triband
mobile rig,
Hope this list helps.

Gentlemen,
Is there a software program to receive and process the telemetry from Picsat?
Looking for something similar to the provided software for the
funcube satellites.
It would be useful for the unattended operations here.
Thanks

Hi David, all,
I'm using gr-atellites, thanks to the great Daniel Est?vez EA4GPZ who
helps us and not for the first time. It works fine, gr-satellite is
doing the job very smoothly. You have just to manage a quite accurate
Doppler shift tracking and the couple GPredict/Gqrx from alexandru csete
OZ9AEC on a Linux machine is perfect to do that.
Our friend Sylvain F4GKR and his students from SupElec high school
are working on a solution that soon will work on a Windows machine.
Have a nice day, 73 !

I have a like-new G5500 and LVB tracker for sale. I bought it last year with
intentions to install an automated station, but it has sat in the garage and
taken up space long enough. Everything is in excellent shape and works as it
is supposed to, I only used it once during field day 2017.
Included is the LVB tracker, alt-az rotor, and control box for the G5500.
I?m asking $650 + real shipping cost (local pickup would obviously be
easiest).
If you can pick up locally, I also have rotor control cables made up and 2
M2 fiberglass arms for the antennas for $50 more.
I?ll be at Hamcation in Orlando on Saturday, Feb 10 and can bring everything
with me if anyone would like to pick it up there.
Email me direct for photos and more info.

Hi- I'm looking for ideas for wx proofing a tower mounted ant transfer relay
for 1.2Ghz. I live in Washington, it rains here a "little". What have you
done?

Get a Hubbell fiberglass enclosure from Grainger. I just got one to put
my SGC-230 inside of for my 33' HF vertical.
If you're on a tight budget, the small grey Tupperware tote boxes are
quite durable outside. I had one up in SoCal with my 137MHz preamp in it
for weather satellites, and when I took it down after two years, it was
still flexible.
