Aloha
My yaesu rotator elevator has lost the elev. side. Azimuth works fine. When
the up down switches on my G5400-B controller are triggered, the elev. piece
makes noise (listen to attached sound byte). Even when I add some elbow
grease to the boom (uhf/vhf yagis attached), it does not turn. Comments re:
the fix or one (other than Yaesu- albeit they are competent) who might work
on the unit at a reasonable rate. Mahalo. Respectfully- Robert NH7WN, Honolulu

Steve,
I think you may be missing Paul's question. Paul wasn't asking
for us to make a list of all satellites. Paul was asking about
the satellites we have worked. For some, that list would include
Mir, AO-10, or AO-13. For others, the list would probably have
only the newer satellites, with possibly AO-7 from the 1970s
or FO-29 from the mid-1990s in the list.
I have worked you on SO-50 and the 3 Fox-1 (AO-85, AO-91, AO-92)
satellites, going back to 2016. You mentioned Mir. Have you
worked any other satellites, in addition to these 5?
73!

Thanks! Patrick. I have worked other satellites and hams other than you.
I only mentioned MIR as a reminder that would be one that you could add to
the list. MIR was the first space contact that I made, and at that time I
started gathering equipment and planning my station. The station didn't
come on board until I had time after retirement to put it all together.
And many thanks to Gene W4IMT for pushing me to get my station up and
running.
Thanks Patrick for checking and asking me.

International Space Station Astronauts are Calling CQ ARISS Students
??? ARISS-US program?s education proposal window open Oct. 1 - Nov. 30, 2018
?
September 25, 2018:? ARISS is seeking proposals beginning October 1, 2018
from US schools, museums, science centers and community youth organizations
(working individually or together) to host amateur radio contacts with an
orbiting crew member aboard the International Space Station (ISS) between
July 1 and December 30, 2019.
?
Each year, ARISS provides tens of thousands of students with learning
opportunities about space technologies, communications, and much more
through the exploration of Amateur Radio and space. ARISS has been pleased
of late, to be one of many possibilities of interest to educators during
NASA?s A Year of Education on Station, which celebrates an almost 12-month
presence of a teacher aboard the ISS.? The ARISS program connects students
to astronauts on the ISS through a partnership between NASA, the Radio
Amateur Satellite Corporation, the American Radio Relay League, other
Amateur Radio global organizations and the worldwide space agencies. The
program?s goal is to inspire students to pursue interests and careers in
science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and in Amateur Radio.
?
Educators report regularly that student participation in the ARISS program
stimulates interest in STEM subjects and STEM careers. One educator wrote,
?Many of the middle school students who took part in and attended the ARISS
contact have selected science courses in high school as a result of that
contact.?? Educators are setting up ham radio clubs in schools and learning
centers because of students? interest.
?
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 other
STEM subjects. 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
a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for students.
?
The proposal window opens October 1, 2018 and the proposal deadline is
November 30, 2018.
For proposal guidelines and forms and more details, visit:

?
Proposal webinars for guidance and getting questions answered will be
offered October 11 and October 23, 2018, both at 8 pm Eastern Time. Advance
registration is necessary. To sign up, go to:
