Hi, after I switched to Win 10/64 pro a couple weeks ago, I no longer
can make program UISS/AGWPE get a response from the ISS 145.825 AX.25 setup.
NOTE: I regularly decode packets from them ... even a few mins ago.
What settings, with respect to uplink, am I missing ?
I use an IC910H for the ISS work and a 2m 5wl beam on Alpha-Spid rotator.
If I could test the UISS program SENDING a packet locally to some sort
of APRS or AX.25, then I could test the setup on the earth path.
I do not know how to do that. As, even though I copy/decode 144.390
packets here, and 145.825 packets here, I try sending but do not know
what to put in the "TO" and the "VIA" to be able to make that station
hear me .. or repeat me .. or send an ACK ... whatever
I am clueless on what form, or PL, I need to use on either the ISS or
into the packet system.
someone give a basic format that will allow me to test this station
setup earth-wise please ??
thank you very much.

School Information:
Martin-Andersen-Nex?-Gymnasium Dresden/DLR_School_Lab TU Dresden
MINT-Exzellenz in der Region Dresden: MANOS
Der Name "MANOS" war nie offizieller Schulname. Nach den ersten gro?en
Erfolgen unserer Schule, hat er sich bei Sch?lern,
Lehrern und Eltern als Abk?rzung f?r Martin-Andersen-Nex?-OberSchule
(deshalb auch die MANOS) eingeb?rgert und ebenso in der
nationalen und internationalen ?ffentlichkeit ?ber all die Jahre als Marke
erhalten.
In Mathematik, Informatik und den Naturwissenschaften ist es unsere Absicht,
ein vertieftes Verst?ndnis zu f?rdern und nicht
einfach mehr Inhalte zu vermitteln. Dazu werden die Klassen geteilt, um in
kleineren Lerngruppen die Sch?ler h?ufiger und
intensiver experimentieren zu lassen. Wir wollen erreichen, dass unsere
Sch?ler die richtigen Fragen stellen und
Probleml?sungskompetenzen entwickeln.
Als eine der ganz wenigen Schulen in Sachsen, bieten wir Astronomie als
eigenst?ndiges Unterrichtsfach an und lassen die
Faszination Raumfahrt durch Kontakte zu unseren au?erschulischen Partnern,
wie dem Dresdner Sch?lerlabor des
Deutschen Zentrums f?r Luft- und Raumfahrt, lebendig werden. Viele unserer
Sch?ler sind als Amateurfunker beim
DARC-Pentacon-Dresden besonders engagiert und haben uns so auf den Weg in
Richtung ISS gebracht.
Liborius-Gymnasium Dessau
Das Liborius-Gymnasium ist eine freie Schule in Tr?gerschaft der
Edith-Stein-Schulstiftung des Bistums Magdeburg. Die Schule
wurde 1991 gegr?ndet und f?hrt die Sch?lerinnen und Sch?ler von der 5.
Klasse bis zur 12. Klasse zur Hochschulreife (Abitur).
Im Rahmen der fakultativen Kurse belegen einige Sch?lerinnen und Sch?ler das
Fach Astronomie in Klasse 10 dreist?ndig pro
Schulwoche. Projektorientiert besch?ftigen sich diese Kurse mit Problemen
der Raumfahrt und Astrophysik.
Die Amateurfunk-Schulstation DK0LG existiert seit 2007 und wurde aus der
langj?hrigen Arbeitsgemeinschaft Amateurfunk und
Elektronik heraus gegr?ndet. 20 Sch?lerinnen und Sch?ler nehmen regelm??ig
Teil, viele von ihnen sogar bis zum Verlassen der
Schule mit erfolgreichem Abschluss des Abiturs.
Die AG-Teilnehmer besch?ftigen sich mit Themen wie Grundlagen der
Elektronik, Schaltungsentwicklung, Mikrocontrollertechnik,
Amateurfunk auf Kurzwelle und UHF/VHF. Seit einiger Zeit r?ckt das Interesse
der Sch?lerinnen und Sch?ler der AG stark in
Richtung Stratosph?renballonmissionen. So gelang es den Sch?lern bereits
seit 2013 erfolgreich vier Ballone mit schrittweise
komplexeren Nutzlasten zu starten.
Im Schuljahr 2017/18 werden die Sch?lerinnen und Sch?ler der Astronomiekurse
und der Arbeitsgemeinschaft Elektronik und
Amateurfunk des Liborius-Gymnasiums das Themengebiet Raumfahrt vertiefen.
Ziel soll es sein, zu einer Schulveranstaltung
unter Beteiligung von Sch?lern, Eltern und Medienvertretern die Ergebnisse
der gemeinsamen Arbeit in Form von Vortr?gen,
experimentellen Demonstrationen und als H?hepunkt den Direktkontakt mit der
ISS zu pr?sentieren.

MINT-Excellence in the Dresden region: MANOS
The name "MANOS" was never an official name. He has been an abbreviation for
Martin-Andersen-Nex?-Ober-Schule. Since the first
successes of our school MANOS became a brand in the national and
international public over all the years.
It is our aim to promote a deeper understanding in the fields of
mathematics, IT and the sciences, instead of imparting more
contents. Therefore, the classes are divided to allow the students to
experiment more frequently and more intensively in
smaller study groups. We want our students to ask the right questions and
develop problem-solving competences.
We are one of few schools in Saxony that are offering astronomy as a
stand-alone subject and through our contacts to external
partners, such as the students' laboratory in Dresden and the German centre
for air- and space travel (Deutsches Zentrum f?r
Luft- und Raumfahrt) the students fascination for space travel can come
alive. Many of our students are particularly engaged
as amateur radio operators at the DARC-Pentacon-Dresden and have thus taken
us on the way towards ISS.
Liborius-Gymnasium Dessau
The Liborius Gymnasium is a private school which is sponsored by the Bistum
Magdeburg. The school was founded in 1991 and hosts
grades five through twelve including those seeking Abitur.
Astronomy is one of the courses we offer to our students in the tenth grade
which consists of three classroom hours a week.
This course is manly used to discuss the difficulties of space travel and
the depth of astrophysics.
The ham radio station DKOLG became active in 2007 as a part of the ham radio
and electronics club at our school. We have around
20 active members and most of them remain members until graduation.
These students learn the basics of electronics, micro-controller techniques,
ham and shortwave radio, and UHF/VHF. The interest
of our students in the club in stratosphere balloon missions has grown over
time. So our students have been able to send four
balloons into the stratosphere, each time with a better system and better
technology than the last.
During the school year of 2017/2018 the students of the astronomy classes
and the work group for engineering and ham-radio at
the Liborius High School are going to study the topic space travel more
intensely. The goal is to present the results of the
joint work as reports, experimental demonstrations and as a highlight the
direct contact with the ISS at an assembly including
the students, parents and media representatives.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. An welchen Experimenten arbeiten Sie zur Zeit?

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,

Bob,
I struggled a lot before succeeding due to a very simple issue. to explain:
We don?t have any land APRS in 3B8, thus the only way for me to test was
thru the birds or ISS therefore trial and error during short passes. I am
using Signalink TNC and TS2000/SDR.
1) I was receiving well all APRS from satellites/ISS but failing all the
time on Tx/uplink in spite receiving myself in the shack successfully.
Therefore was not sure about the issue and trying all sort of settings,
computer sound, UISS, UZ7HO sound modem, etc...
2) After a while fed-up with all that I put everything to default and try
again, and just played with the Signallink Tx volume starting at the minimum
level and it simply worked out first time. Was just over modulating.
3) I tried for a few passes and now it works out nearly 100% receiving myself.
4) As Dave mentioned, I confirm that he UISS setting is simply TO: CQ and
VIA: ARISS or RS0ISS.
Same problem with Falconsat (9k2), I did not had a good pass to check but
suspect same issue.
Unfortunately no-one in the region to test 2-way QSO except ZS stations
which hopefully will work soon.
Hope this help.

We are pleased and excited to announce that the AMSAT 36th Annual Space
Symposium and General Meeting Banquet keynote speaker this year will be
Justin Foley, a Systems Engineer at Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
Justin became involved in the CubeSat program, building satellites, as a
student at Cal Poly in 2005. Upon graduation, he was hired by Cal Poly to
work launch integration full-time and has since worked every P-POD launch,
either as an integrator or operator. Justing specialized in ground stations
and mission operations, radio licensing, interface control, range safety
documentation and was one of the primary operators for The Planetary
Society?s LightSail CubeSat.
In May of 2017, Justin transitioned from Cal Poly to the Jet Propulsion
Laboratory, working on the Mars 2020 rover as part of the System Testbed
Engineering group, specializing in instruments and avionics, fault
protection, telecom, and power

(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:

Thanks everyone. I'm going to try ferrite chokes first and see what
happens. I'll let you know how it goes.
