Here is an item which may be helpful relaying earlier than waiting for the
weekend ANS news release cycle ...
Intercosmos - 40th year of international human flights - SSTV Award
SSTV from the International Space Station is expected to be active April
11-14 worldwide as part of Cosmonautics Day, which takes place on April 12.
Images will be related to the Interkosmos project
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interkosmos).
This activity will cover most of the world during the operational period.
The images will be transmitted on 145.800 MHz and the mode is planned to be
PD120.
A special Award will be made available to those posting reception reports.
To obtain the Award one should receive and decode at least one picture
during the activity period. The quality of the received image does not have
to be perfect, but good enough to identify the picture. Partial images are
acceptable.
The award is in electronic format (JPG). It will be sent by e-mail.
The criteria as follows must be met to obtain the Award:
Load your decoded images on the page:
www.spaceflightsoftware.com/ARISS_SSTV/index.php
Fill in the application form on https://ariss.pzk.org.pl/sstv/
Deadline is May 15th, 2018.
Details and a list of ARISS SSTV Award winning stations are available at:

Astronaut Scott Tingle* talking to Pinson Valley Highschool students
on April 10th, 2018. This is a quick edit mostly so the folks in
Alabama can see what it sounded like from a completely different
place. I received this in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina, at the Red
Hat parking deck, where I work.
I missed the first half of the contact because it came in range of me
after it was already in range of the school. I also missed a good
portion of my pass due to a big building downtown blocking the signal.
At the end since it was still in range of me after it went out of
range for them, I may have received some transmissions from Scott that
they missed, or at least with less noise.

* Ricky Arnold was scheduled to talk to the students but I'm almost
certain this is Scott Tingle who has been doing a lot of ARISS
contacts lately.

International Space Station Astronauts are Calling CQ Students (corrected)
?????????????? ARISS-US program education proposal deadline is April 30, 2018
?
March 15, 2018:? The Amateur Radio on the International Space Station
(ARISS) program is seeking proposals from US schools, museums, science
centers and community youth organizations (working individually or together)
to host radio contacts with an orbiting crew member aboard the International
Space Station (ISS) between January 1 and June 30, 2019.
?
Each year, ARISS provides tens of thousands of students with opportunities
to learn about space technologies and 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 Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation, the
American Radio Relay League, and other Amateur Radio organizations and
worldwide space agencies. The program?s goal is to inspire students to
pursue interests and careers in science, technology, engineering and
mathematics (STEM) and Amateur Radio. A ham recently said, ?ARISS shows how
Amateur Radio is the most unique hobby/service there is.?
?
Educators overwhelmingly report that student participation in the ARISS
program stimulates interest in STEM subjects and in STEM careers. One
educator wrote, ?It exceeded our expectations--it created a great interest
in both amateur radio and in space exploration. Our kids are completely
inspired!? Ninety-two percent of educators who have participated in the
program have indicated that ARISS provided ideas for encouraging student
exploration and participation. An educator even joined the ham ranks,
saying, ?This chance for our school?s ARISS contact helped me see the great
value of the ham world.? I just passed my Technician License this weekend
and have already signed up to take a General class.?? ?
ARISS is looking for organizations that will draw large numbers of
participants and integrate the contact into a well-developed, exciting
education plan. Students can learn about satellite communications, wireless
technology, science research conducted on the ISS, 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 2019 contacts is April 30, 2018. Proposal webinars
for guidance and getting questions answers will be offered March 29, 2018,
at 7 p.m. EDT and April 16, 2018, at 4 p.m. EDT. Advance registration is
necessary. To sign up, go to

Hi Kevin,
The https://funcube.org.uk/news/ website gave this info back in March
2017... nothing else has been added since:

Graham
Additionally some command line parameters have been added to enable the
programmes to auto-start with the desired parameters. ?These are:
/minimized
/autostart
/source=dongle
or
/source=soundcard
Some notes on how to impliment these parameters can be found
here:funcube-dashboard-autostart

The rotor and cables check out ok, but the control box will not operate the
elevation rotor. Before I go in and try to troubleshoot each individual
component, does anyone know of a common failure in the box that would
disable the control?
Thank you in advance.

Hi!
On Saturday, 14 April 2018, I will drive out to the DM54/DM55 grid
boundary in eastern Arizona for the afternoon (more or less). I plan to
leave Phoenix in the morning, and the drive out there should take about
3.5 hours. I do not plan on working passes in the morning on my way out
to DM54/DM55, trying to make the drive so I can spend more time out
there before driving home at or just after sunset.
This is a day-trip, and I will not be able to make drives to other
nearby grids or over to the New Mexico state line. The spot I will use
for the DM54/DM55 grid boundary is east of I-40 exit 303, along the
frontage road on the south side of I-40 in Navajo County - a spot I
have visited a few times in the past several years. I plan on working
FM, SSB, and FalconSat-3 passes. Maybe NO-84, if passes line up with
the afternoon and the 145.825 MHz digipeater is operational. If AO-92
goes into L/V mode Saturday evening, I will try to stop and work passes
from somewhere in northern or central Arizona during my drive home.
During my drive, I will have a radio squawking to the APRS network as
WD9EWK-9. You should be able to follow my travels at:
http://aprs.fi/WD9EWK-9
Updates on Saturday will be posted to my @?????? Twitter account. If you
do not use Twitter, you can still view my tweets by visiting:

My DM54/DM55 QSOs will be uploaded to Logbook of the World in the couple
of days after I return home.
73!
