Hi James
the lists of supported Icom radios (Radio 1 and Radio 2 sections of
menu? 'Radio Setup') don't? contain the IC-7100.? Choose IC-7000 as
model, but the Icom address of the IC-7100. Set the CAT baud rate as
high as possible (19200),? at any rate equal at the radio and in the
program. CAT delay if the IC-7100 is Radio 1: Start with 50.

An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at Friedrich-Franz-Gymnasium Parchim, Parchim, Germany on 25
Aug. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 09:52 UTC. The
duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The
contact will be direct between DP0ISS and DC1RSN. The contact should be
audible over Germany and adjacent areas. Interested parties are invited to
listen in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. The contact is expected to be
conducted in German.
Bereits seit 1564 ist in Parchim eine Schule f?r Gelehrte haupts?chlich f?r
Latein, Alt-Griechisch und Mathematik zu finden. 1872 wandelte sich die
Schule zum Friedrich-Franz-Gymnasium. Hierdurch bekamen die
Naturwissenschaften einen neuen Stellenwert in unserer Schule. Heutzutage
besuchen 500 Sch?ler unsere Schule und lernen Sprachen, Sozialwissenschaften
und nat?rlich Naturwissenschaften.
Seit 2016 produziert das Gymnasium elektrischen Strom durch Solar-Energie.
Hierf?r wurde eine spezieller Klassenraum erschaffen, wo die Sch?ler etwas
?ber regenerative Energie-Quellen und insbesondere, wie Solar-Panels
funktionieren, lernen. In diesem Aspekt ist vor allem die Klasse 7B
involviert und versucht unsere Schule zu verbessern, indem sie diese
analysiert, Probleme auffindet und eigene Software entwickelt.
J?hrlich nimmt unserer Schule an einem regionalen Roboter-Wettbewerb teil.
Dieser Wettbewerb wird durch das "Bildungswerk der Wirtschaft
Mecklenburg-Vorpommern e.V." organisiert. Die Sch?ler lernen wie man kleine
Roboter programmiert, wie die Sensoren funktionieren und wie Probleme in
einer wettbewerbhaften Atmosph?re l?st.
Des weiteren ist unsere Schule Kooperationsparter des DLR_School_Labs in
Neustrelitz. Jedes Jahr besuchen die Sch?ler der 9. und 11. Klasse das
DLR_School_Lab. Dort erfahren sie etwas ?ber die Bedingungen im Weltall
(Schwerelosigkeit und Vakuum als Beispiel) und wie die Kommunikation
zwischen Satellit und Bodenstation funktioniert.
F?r ARISS wollen wir einige der Unterrichtsf?cher thematisch dem Funkkontakt
anpassen. Dies soll so geschehen im Lehrplan der 8. bis hin zur 11. Klasse
mittels Langzeitprojekte. Hierzu z?hlen Deutsch, Geschichte, Astronomie,
Biologie und Physik. Im Deutschunterricht wollen wir ?ber die ISS, die
wisschenschaftliche Forschung an Bord und dessen Einfluss auf den Alltag auf
der Erde und nat?rlich ?ber die Astronauten, deren Leben und die
Vorbereitungen ein Astronaut zu werden, reden.
Dies wird getan durch Essays und Briefe an Astronauten, die die Sch?ler
schreiben sollen.
In Astronomie lernen die Sch?ler vieles ?ber k?nstliche Satelliten, die ISS
im besonderem und das Weltall im Allgemeinen. Wir wollen versuchen die ISS
und andere Satelliten am Himmel zu beobachten, wobei zu bdenken ist,
weiviele Satelliten gestartet worden sind seit Sputnik 1. Ein anderer
Aspekt, den wir diskutieren werden, ist das Weltraumwetter und dessen
Einfluss auf unser Leben auf der Erde. Unsere Schule ist bereits mit einem
Projekt names SOFIE (Solar Flares detected by Ionospheric Effects)
involviert, das vom DLR_School_Lab in Neustrelitz organisiert wird. Wir
wollen diesem Projekt an unserer Schule neues Leben einhauchen und hoffen
dies dadurch zu erreichen, indem wir an einem nationalen Kontest namens
"Sch?ler experimentieren" bzw. "Jugend forscht" teilnehmen.
In Biologie werden die Sch?ler des weiteren das Leben von Triops erforschen.
Dies wird aufgrund der Erforschung dieser urzeitlichen Lebensform an Bord
der ISS von Thoris Zierold getan.

Since 1564 you find a school for scholars, mainly Latin, Old-Greece and
calculation in Parchim. In 1827 the school changed to
Friedrich-Franz-Gymnasium. By this natural science became a new status in
our school. Today about 500 pupils are attending our school, learning
languages, social science and of course natural science.
Since 2016 our school produces electrical power by solar energy. For this
we built a special classroom for our pupils, where they learn about
regenerative power sources, especially how solar panels work. In this
regards class 7B is involved with the improvement of our school, by
analyzing it, searching for problems and the development of software.
Yearly students of our school are participating in a regional robot
competition. This is organised by "Bildungswerk der Wirtschaft
Mecklenburg-Vorpommern e.V.". Students are learning how to program little
robots, how the sensors are working and how they have to solve problems in a
competitively atmosphere.
Furthermore our school is partner of the DLR_School_Lab Neustrelitz. Each
year our pupils of the 9th and 11th class are visiting the school lab in
Neustrelitz. There they experience conditions in space (zero gravity and
vacuum for example) and the communication between satellites and ground
stations.
For ARISS we are planning to adjust some of our lessons for the contact.
This will be done in our curriculum for 8th to the 11th classes by long term
projects. We will involve German, history, astronomy, biology and physics.
In German we will talk about the ISS, scientific research onboard and their
influence on daily life on earth and of course about astronauts, their life
and preparations for being an astronaut. This will be done by writing essays
and letters for astronauts.
In the subject of astronomy the pupils will learn many facts about
artificial satellites, the ISS in particular and space in general. We want
to observe the ISS and other human-made satellites, having in mind how many
satellites were started since Sputnik 1. Another aspect we will discuss is
space weather and its influence of our life on earth. Our school is already
involved with a project called SOFIE (Solar Flares detected by Ionospheric
Effects), supported by the DLR in Neustrelitz, and we hope to breathe new
life into this project at our school. Maybe this will be achieved by
participating in a national contest, called "Sch?ler experimentieren",
"Jugend forscht".
Our pupils will research the life of triops in biology. This is done cause
of the exploration of theseprimeval lifeform which were onboard the ISS by
Thorid Zierold.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. Welche war heute Ihre wichtigste Aufgabe, die Sie zu erf?llen hatten?
2. Was haben Sie heute gegessen und welches ist Ihr Lieblingsgericht auf der
ISS?
3. Welche war die anstrengendste Trainingseinheit in Vorbereitung auf Ihren
2. Weltraumeinsatz?
4. Sie werden in der 2. H?lfte des Aufenthaltes auf der ISS Kommandant sein,
worin sehen Sie diese besondere Verantwortung?
5. Was passiert, wenn ein Astronaut starke Zahn- oder andere Schmerzen
bekommt?
6. Womit besch?ftigen Sie sich in der Freizeit auf der ISS am liebsten?
7. Sie fotografieren von der Raumstation aus die Erde. K?nnen wir auf ein
Foto unserer Region hoffen?
8. Ist Angst f?r den Fall eines unvorhergesehenen Ereignisses f?r Sie ein
Thema?
9. In Ihrer Ausbildung waren Sie im Tauchbecken. Ist diese Erfahrung mit dem
Au?eneinsatz im Weltall vergleichbar?
10. Wo sehen Sie sich beruflich in 10 Jahren?
11. Welche Nutzung der sozialen Medien ist im Weltall m?glich? K?nnen Sie
twittern? Gibt es Internet?
12. Was passiert, wenn man in der Schwerelosigkeit niesen muss?
13. W?rde ein Bumerang auf der ISS zur?ckkommen?
14. Haben Sie beim Start zur ISS oder bei der Landung auf der Erde ?belkeit
empfunden?
15. Ist es anstrengend, im Raumanzug etwas an der ISS zu reparieren?
16. Wie wird auf der ISS sauber gemacht?
17. Sie leben und arbeiten 6 Monate mit Menschen anderer Kulturen zusammen.
Gibt es dabei Besonderheiten?
18. Glauben Sie an au?erirdisches Leben?
19. An welchem Experiment arbeiten Sie im Moment?
20. Wie lange dauert es, bis Sie nach der Landung auf der Erde k?rperlich
wieder fit sind?

Hi all
I have tried to take telemetry pass for ao 91 and 92. Satellite these are
fox series satellite. I have installed there telemetry software from amsat
website. I have tried many passes. But software is not updated with
telemetry values. I have listened some voices in my icom 9100 during the
pass. I have tuned 145.880downlink for ao 92 fox 1d. Please let me know how
to successfully receive telemetry for ao 92. Why I am not able to receive
telemetry in fox telemetry software. What should be the samples rate for
icom USB sound card for fox software. Should it be 48000 or 192000.any one
please help. I am using yagi with vhf gain 11db and uhf antenna gain is 14 db.

> NIST station WWV and sister stations are among the oldest radio stations
in the United States, having been in continuous operation since May 1920.
The station has transmitted the official US Time for nearly 100 years, and
is an instrumental part in the telecommunications field, ranging from
broadcasting to scientific research and education. Additionally, these
stations transmit marine storm warnings from the National Weather Service,
GPS satellite health reports, and specific information concerning current
solar activity, and radio propagation conditions. These broadcasts are an
essential resource to the worldwide communications industry. This petition
requests continued funding of these stations be maintained into the 21st
century and beyond to ensure future operations.

Keep in mind that Congress has rejected the President's budget and in
most cases has set funding levels far higher than requested,
especially for agencies involved in science and research, like NIST.
In this case, the House and Senate appropriations bills have funding
levels for this account that are nearly $150 million higher than NIST
requested. That makes a shutdown of WWV services unlike in FY 2019 as
they won't need to make cuts to deal with a reduced budget.
Specifically, while NIST requested $573,429,000 for Scientific and
Technical Research and Services in FY 2019, the House Commerce,
Justice, and Science appropriations bill gives them $720,000,000
(https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/5952/text).
The Senate version of the legislation gives them $724,500,000
(https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/senate-bill/3072/text).
It's worth it to make our voices heard that we want these services to
continue, but there is little actual danger of them being shut down
over the next year.

Hi all,
Here?s a small video of a mobile to mobile (car to car) QSO on AO-91 of
myself and Jerome (F4DXV).
It shows that the FOX-1 series are very easy to work, even with a whip and
without having to wave it around to find the correct polarization.

Glenden, Queensland, Australia
Message-ID: <4EBD523FF9884EEF9A4EFA276AF75172@???>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at Glenden State School, Glenden, Queensland, Australia
on 23 Aug. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 09:45 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 VK5ZAI. The contact
should be audible over Australia 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.
Glenden State School is an Education Queensland School that caters for
approximately 100 students in primary and secondary education from Prep to
Year 12. The school is two hours west of Mackay and is situated in a mining
town. Everyone who lives in the town either works for Glencore Newlands
coal mine or in essential services. The town was constructed and is owned
by the mine. The school has a positive partnership with the mine, and many
of our secondary students participate in traineeships in a range of areas
across the mine, while all year 10 students complete a Resources and
Infrastructure certificate through the mine. We are somewhat isolated and
so the community works together to create opportunities in sports and
recreation.
Our core values are that we aim for safety, respect and success, our logo
being a rising eagle. Our mission is to encourage quality educational
experiences, embracing an inclusive environment that values diversity and
the needs of all learners. In partnership with parents and the community we
aim to foster responsibility, pride and respect for self and others while
finding worth within learning, so all may achieve goals that will celebrate
personal success and make a positive contribution to society. Our purpose
is to have every child achieving, every day.
While we focus on improvement across literacy and numeracy across Prep - 12,
we foster positive behaviour through proactive Positive Behaviour Learning.
Our uniqueness lies in our ability to know and see every student as an
individual and nurture them in their gifts and talents and towards
continuous improvement. We have established an innovated STEM program and a
Maker Space where students engage in robotics and engineering activities.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. What does the moon look like from the ISS?
2. What's your space suit made out of?
3. Have you seen any UFOs from the ISS?
4. Do you freeze up there without your space suit on?
5. How long does it take to get to the moon?
6. What you do on the space station?
7. Do you get to go outside and if so what preparation is required?
8. Does a magnetic compass behave differently in space?
9. How do you become an astronaut and what advice would you give us?
10. How long are you up there for and what do you miss the most?
11. What food do you eat and how do you eat it without gravity in space?
12. How do you take care of yourself and your body in space?
13. What do you do if you get sick?
14. Why did you want to be an astronaut?
15. How long does it take to get used to zero gravity?
16. What is the most amazing sight you have seen when you looked through your
window?
17. Why don't you run out of oxygen on the International Space Station?
18. What plans are there for the future expansion of the International Space
Station?
19. Have any of the past scientific experiments on the Space Station had a
real world impact on Earth?
20. How do you communicate with your family?

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.

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
