Hello Enzo,



I'll try this week a homemade 24 element yagi (DL6WU design). I think this
antenna is only for sats an for EME to small with my 10W from the TS-2000X.

Message-ID: <002101d4658f$9afbf800$d0f3e800$@?????.???>
Content-Type: text/plain;	charset="us-ascii"

I wonder if anyone can help with this please?



I am using SatPC32 v12.8d on a Windows 10 computer with my Icom IC-9100
connected via USB.  The Doppler tracking works fine, so the basic CI-V link
is obviously ok.



My problem is that the radio does not set the desired CTCSS  tone, as
specified in the file SubTone.SQF     A letter 'T' appears on the radio when
I select T1 or T2 in SatPC32. It disappears again when I select T0.
However, the tone is not set correctly.



As an example with SO50.  The SubTone.SQF file contains two entries, one for
a 67.0hz tone (T1) and the other for a 74.4Hz tone (T2).  The radio will
respond to T1 and set 67.0Hz but will not change tone when I select T2.



With single tone satellites, the tone will not change from what was set
before SatPC32 was started  (i.e. if I had been accessing a terrestrial
repeater earlier)



I have not changed the SubTone.SQF parameters since installing SatPC32
v12.8d



Many thanks.

For satellite use (not as likely for EME), I've had good results with a
simple helix antenna.  They are easy to build, and pretty tolerant of
slight inaccuracies in manufacture (much more so than a Yagi).  There
are a lot of designs and calculators for designs on the Web, but I can't
seem to find the one I used for mine.  Ed KL7UW, and Clare VE3NPC, were
great mentors in the process.  If I recall, the key dimensions are
making one turn of the helix one wavelength long, and the pitch between
turns spaced to get a 12.5 degree angle.

Of considerable help in construction, anything that's inside the helix
is pretty much irrelevant to its performance, so long as it doesn't
touch the helix windings.  I used a metal rod, then some zip ties to
support the winding every so often, one thick tie around the rod
extending out, then a small tie to attach the winding to the first tie.
Some use plastic pegs into a wooden dowel.  Be creative and make
something up.

The reflector and feed point is a flat sheet of metal with an N
connector attached.  Angle the first 1/4 turn at a shallow angle for
impedance matching, and you're done.

Good luck!

Helicals are fun to build, both as RHCP directional antennas or LHCP for
use as a dish feed.

Here is the online calculator that I've always used:

http://jcoppens.com/ant/helix/calc.en.php

... and PVC pipe is very handy to build with since it can be cut, joined, &
drilled so easily.

Hi Fox control team.

I know that the convention these days is to shift Fox 1D/AO-92 to L band
uplink in the early hours of UTC Sundays and then go back early UTC Monday.

This weekend, October 19-21,  is Jamboree on the Air, a marvelous
opportunity to showcase Amateur Radio in space to young scouts and adult
scouters.  JOTA is from Friday evening local time through Sunday local time.
Since a lot of us who may be running Amateur satellite stations for JOTA, do
not have L band uplink capabilities.  I am requesting on these behalf other
JOTA stations, that the control team consider forgoing the weekly switch to
L band to allow more people access to AO-92 passes on Saturday evening and
Sunday morning.

Thanks for your consideration

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:
http://www.ariss.org/hosting-an-ariss-contact-in-the-us.html

?

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:

Tom,
In a private email response sent to you just prior to your email to the -bb,
I inquired whether you had SSB capabilities. I know many other JOTA stations
do get on the transponder satellites as well, and I think we can agree this
would be a better presentation of our part of the hobby. I'm not inclined to
alter the schedule when there are so many other satellites available, both
FM and SSB/CW, but only one L-band uplink available one day a week. Of
course AO-92 will still be available in U/v for the first half of JOTA.

I see that EQUISAT was deployed.  And that initial signals were heard back
in July.
I cannot find anything posted since then.

Did anyone see its flashing LED's?

Students at the Ivy League Brown University are developing an amateur
radio satellite EQUiSat that will carry a Xenon Flash Tube (XFT) subsystem
to act as an Optical Beacon that should be visible to the unaided eye of
observers on Earth.

Hi Bob,

There was a discussion about EquiSat on the QRZ.com satellite forum earlier
this summer.

Here is the link to the thread ... I bet the URL will be clobbered so I made
a short link for you too:
