AMSAT at the Hamvention -- 2nd Call for volunteers
The Hamvention is three weeks away!
It is time to be creating your shopping list and making your travel plans.
Last year, we had 30 people assist with the AMSAT booth at the Hamvention.
We've had a good response so far to our first call for volunteers, but we
could really use another 10-15 people.
The 2018 Hamvention is May 18-20 in Xenia, Ohio.? Would you consider helping
AMSAT at the Hamvention this year?
The interaction with AMSAT members, satellite operators, designers, and
builders makes the whole experience a lot of fun.? Meet or renew
acquaintances, exchange operating tips, and find out what antennas, software
and equipment other AMSAT members use.? We currently expect all of the AMSAT
senior officers and board members to be there too.
If you're an experienced operator, great!? We can use you and your
experience.
If you've never operated a satellite before, but want to learn more, that's
OK. We can use your help too.
Whether you're available for only a couple of hours or if you can spend the
entire weekend with us, your help would be greatly appreciated.
Please send an e-mail to Phil, w1eme@?????.??? if you can help. Thank you!

King?s High School ARISS contact on BBC TV
On April 19 student Eleanor Griffin led the live question and answer session
between King?s High School and Warwick Preparatory School (GB4KHS) and
astronaut
Ricky Arnold KE5DAU on the International Space Station (NA1SS).
King?s High School strongly encourage their girls to develop their interests
both inside and outside the classroom. This culture of empowerment led
one of
their girls, Eleanor Griffin, to apply to ARISS Europe (Amateur Radio on the
International Space Station) for a highly prestigious link-up to the
International Space Station.
When Eleanor Griffin was selected to hold a space conversation with an
astronaut, she was inspired to set up the Warwick Mars Project, for students
across the Warwick Independent Schools Foundation, to further interest
in Space
Science. Eleanor says: ?The moon landings belong to the generation of our
grandparents, and the International Space Station to our parents. What will
happen in our generation? Will Mankind travel to another planet??
After the ISS contact when asked what this incredible experience had
taught her
Eleanor replied ?Just do it! No one is going to stop you, if you just go and
pursue your dreams, you really can do anything.?

Hello,
anybody can tell me where can I get the update keps for the Falconsat-3 that
works with wisp?
I have tried to create a txt file with just the Falconsat one but when I try
to upload in the GSC program,
I get "No Satellite Found".
Also is there a tutorial and needs how to operate with it?
Thanks

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed
The Chinese amateur satellite Zhou Enlai (initially know as Huai'An 1,
HA 1) appears to be active on a downlink frequency near 437.650 MHz.
Its coordinated downlink frequency for telemetry is 437.350 MHz and
for voice 436.950 MHz. For details see:
http://www.amsat.org.uk/iaru/
http://space.skyrocket.de/doc_sdat/zhou_enlai.htm
This 2U cubesat is object 43156, 2018-008B. Let's see if they can activate
its FM repeater and SSTV component.

Hi Enzo!
Someone else may be able to help with your exact question, but please know
that you don't HAVE to use the full WiSP suite of software to use the BBS
on Falconsat-3.
What I mean is, you can use your existing software to track the orbit as
well as something like UISS (or an 9k6 APRS-capable HT) to utilize the APRS
digipeater.
For the BBS specifically, only the MSPE component of the WiSP suite is
needed once you have used the GSC application in WiSP to define the
parameters of the satellite and your TNC -or- soundmodem connection.
Here is a link with a great amount of detail on how all the parts work:
http://www.qsl.net/py4zbz/falconsat.htm
And if you would like to see the software work "live", here are a couple of
VERY rough videos that I did to help individuals who have reached out for
guidance on FS-3. They are not polished like so many of the great videos
out there on Amateur Radio topics, but I'm glad to share on the chance that
they might get you up & running more quickly.

Since it was thought to be dead from launch, it never got added into
the amateur.txt or cubesats.txt file in CelesTrak nor did it make it
into the AMSAT Keps distribution. If it is active, we can have it
added to the AMSAT distribution.
Until then, you'd need to manually grab the keps from Space Track.

We are back from St. Barts and the FJ/N0KV expedition and now I have
about 110 sat contacts to enter into a logging program then uploaded to
LOTW.? Question is, what's the simplest logging program (free) that will
properly format the adi file for these contacts.? We used N1MM for all
the HF but it does not seem to have options for entering things like
SATMODE, the two bands, and perhaps other data LOTW needs to properly
database the contact.
Any suggestions welcome.

Please see the QRZ.COM page for the expedition, QSL info is there.
For info, we were uploading the HF contacts to LOTW just about every day
and of the 11,000+ HF contacts nearly 40% were confirmed instantly upon
our upload.
I logged sat contacts on paper and now need to get them into both the
master N1MM database and then into LOTW.? The master N1MM database is
what Barry will confirm paper cards from.

Isn?t dec 2017 a bit past? Any updates? Fine that the first phase 4 won?t
be over North America, someone had to be first. Just that it?s coming and
not much seems to be said about it. Again it would be nice to follow both
closely. It?s being a ?digital? satellite is fine as it won?t be in the
sense or modes we are used to, instead being standard dvb. Note given enough
bandwidth which it appears these days will have on the microwave bands we
ought be able to use that dvb transponder for much more than just video.
There ought be a means of muxing multiple streams of varying data types
through it on a simultaneous shared basis this including various types of
voice, video, and data.
