I now have reservations at the Marriott in Huntsville, AL, but I did
encounter one difficulty. I wanted to stay on one day after the AMSAT Room
Block expired (5 November). The on-line sign up would not let me do that.
I called the Hotel and was able to extend my stay but I had to do it at
normal Hotel rates beyond the AMSAT Block that expired on the 4th. I was
able to negotiate a reduced rate but not as good as the AMSAT Block rate for
this additional day.

Been researching all available software and can't find a way to get the
SDRPlay (or any SDR) to just simply track the 9100's d/l frequency. That
would be ideal. Anyone have any ideas on how this might be done?

>>> What SDR S/W is anyone using with their SDRPlay for sat?s?
Hi Jeff!
I use HDSDR and it works very well for me. I was only in receive mode for
a long time learning how to decode various types of satellite telemetry but
now I also get on the amateur sats with voice transponders. HDSDR does
everything that I need to do with an SDR both for telemetry reception as
well as being the downlink "radio" for transponder use. I would imagine
the other applications do most if not all of the same things. But, in my
case, I just learned how to navigate in HDSDR and preferred it after trying
the others.

An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at Shinoda Elementary School, Izumi City, Japan on 23 July. The
event is scheduled to begin at approximately 09:47 UTC. The duration of the
contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The contact will be
direct between NA1SS and 8N3SD The contact should be audible over Japan and
adjacent areas. Interested parties are invited to listen in on the 145.80
MHz downlink. The contact is expected to be conducted in English.
Shinoda Elementary School is located in the south of Osaka prefecture in
Japan. Founded 145 years ago, the school currently has 495 enrolled students
for the 2018-2019 academic year. Shinoda Elementary School students are
attentive, conscientious learners with a great respect for their peers. The
current sixth grade consists of 90 students, 19 of whom were chosen to ask
their questions to the astronauts.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. Why did you want to become an astronaut?
2. How many languages do you need to know to become an astronaut?
3. What was the last thing you thought about before getting on the rocket?
4. Why do you change 3 members at a time?
5. What country has the same time as the space station?
6. Is it tiring living in zero gravity?
7. Do you sleep well in space?
8. In space do you feel hot or cold?
9. What do you do if you have a cold or a fever on the space station?
10. What do you do if you get injured on the space station?
11. How do you drink liquids in space?
12. When you are eating, what do you do when your food starts floating away?
13. What is the fastest way to move in space?
14. Are there any dangers living in the space station?
15. Have you ever seen an alien or a UFO?
16. What is your favorite planet?
17. Have you ever seen a black hole?
18. Because there is no gravity in space, do you get dizzy when you walk
around?
19. Who is the first person you want to see when you come back to earth?

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

In the commercial satcom industry an ODU use is common enough that one might
ne able to purchase old ODU (outdoor units) with tight seals and a world of
RF components and mixer stages for dirt cheap to several hundred watts and
very small sensitivity parts in the receive chains. Of course they are in
the wrong band but internal microwave shielded enclosures and bulletproof
clean power supplies along with a LNA or LNB might interest some. My wish is
to setup a station in DC using this method for ham sats. Has anyone alreday
done this ? Hint .. old Anacom units. Plus it can and was designed to be
integrated into high wind antenna structures. HPA sections can be uncoupled
and replaced (I fixed them in remote sites) and replaced with ham sat stuff.
Comments welcome.

Hi Dave,
You said everything I have learned and observed up until now, but please
allow me to add one complication to it -
FM discriminators (aka de-modulators) cannot handle very low signals well,
for example, the downlinks of older lower power birds. I observe this when
I switch between a vertical and a Yagi, the extra signal strength from even
a short 3 element Yagi keeps the FM discriminator very happy.
I find this issue less noticeable in SSB modes and adding a preamp is almost
as good as turning up the volume control at the radio.

you really don't improve signal to noise unless the noise figure of the

signal to make up for the loss that's going to happen as the signal makes
it's way down the coax.
You also add complexity when you want to TX on the antenna since you will
need to add a t/r relay at the antenna. In addition, you are still losing
tx power with the higher loss cable so depending on your ERP goal you may
need an amplifier, generally not an issue with the LEO's.
LMR-600 or hardline is my feedline of choice for 2m and up. I'm not
suggesting that pre-amps can't or shouldn't be used but usually aren't
needed if good low loss feedline is used to begin with.

Sorry, should have added, the modems used in the commercial sat systems are
IF-band (typ. 70 MHz center frequency +/- 18 MHz, or 140 MHz CF +/-) so any
amateur radio service setup would have to consider how to get the modem
generating low power RF to the ODU which would contain the transmit/receive
switching (or separate TX and RX chains) and necessary high power amps and
low noise amps respectively.

Hi Tom,
Yes, it works fine under Win10. Did you actually extract the installation
file before trying the install? The file needs to be decompressed before
installing...having the OS allow you to view a file is nice, but it
sometimes creates issues.
That's my guess, anyhow!

A couple of things come to mind -?
- the install icon on the desktop is just a shortcut, try setting the EXE
file to run as admin,?
- but Installing it a sub-folder other than the standard Program Files
folder will eliminate the need to run as admin.?

Hi Tom,
Yes, it works fine under Win10.? Did you actually extract the installation
file before trying the install?? The file needs to be decompressed before
installing...having the OS allow you to view a file is nice, but it
sometimes creates issues.
That's my guess, anyhow!
