Message-ID: <5e5d50c2199a2a28e50f5d3e3bf9a51f@???????.???>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
Lately, I've been trying other FM satellites besides SO-50. I have made
contacts on AO-92, but I can't get anything from AO-85.
On AO-85 I can hear the voice ID of the satellite plain as day, but I
never hear any other hams trying to make contacts and I can't seem to
get into the satellite.
My set up is two Baofeng handhelds and an Arrow antenna. This set up
works fine on SO-50 and AO-92 so I know that it works.
For AO-85 I'm using 435.170 for the uplink and 145.980 for the downlink.
I have the uplink sending the 67.0 Hz tone.
So, what am I missing? Constructive tips would be very much appreciated.

Hi Scott!
Good to hear you on AO-91 this afternoon - a benefit of a
work-from-home schedule. Easier to take a "smoke break" in
the front yard with a radio, than at the office on a
balcony with a lot of RF to deal with. :-)
I had fading during the first half of the pass, and not so
much after the midpoint. By the time I heard you, I wasn't
dealing with fading. Even twisting my Elk around, there were
points in the first half of the pass where the fading was
still getting in the way.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
A very sincere thank you to all who replied to my post (below). The many
thoughtful responses have caused me to stop searching for a nonexistent
radio and to concentrate on realistic options. I am now focused on
evaluating the FT818 and FT857. The 818 looks like a good choice, but the
857 provides a power boost that is useful on HF in current band conditions.
Offsetting, the 857 draws a huge current and I'm not relishing the battery
weight that entails. I'm heading over to HRO soon to operate both radios
side-by-side just to see how I like the relative feel.
I also appreciate the advice to keep things simple, especially for portable
operation. I will take that to heart.
I'm learning a lot just reading the posts on this reflector. Your help is
very much appreciated.

Subject: [amsat-bb] Portable, Full-Duplex Transceiver
I am new to satellite communication and this is my first post. My setup so
far includes an Arrow antenna on a camera tripod, an SDR (RSP) and SatPC32
software on a Surface Pro. I would like to buy a portable, HF/VHF/UHF,
Full-Duplex transceiver that I can use for both portable HF QRP and for
satellite work. So far, I have not been able to find such a radio. Any
recommendations would be much appreciated.
Also, I would like to buy or build an AZ-EL rotator that is suitable for a
portable setup. I am leaning toward building as a less expensive
alternative. I have been studying the WRAPS version by WA8SME and the Mini
Mk-2 by VK3FOWL and VK3YSP. Both look to be of about equal construction
complexity. Any thoughts on either if these rotators, or any other
inexpensive rotator would also be very much appreciated.
It is exciting to be learning a new phase of ham radio and to be a part of
this group. Thank you for any suggestions.
73,
Ron K0PGE

Interesting that the TXPA current dropped off somewhere between 176,750
and 182,000 (uptime, reset 27).

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:

An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at Tallmadge Community Learning Center, Lancaster, OH on 31
Oct. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 14:56 UTC. The
duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The
contact will be direct between NA1SS and K8QIK. The contact should be
audible over the state of Ohio 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.
Tallmadge Elementary is located in the foothills of the Appalachian
Mountains in the town of Lancaster, Ohio. The ages of our students range
between 5 years to 11 years of age.
Our school is so excited for our ARISS contact. Our staff meeting, at the
start of our school year, watched a video of our space camp initiative.
Every morning the principal during morning announcements, gives a fact about
space. He also reads articles from the National Geographic magazine for
discussion. The teachers was asked to display space themes on the hallways
outside their classrooms, as well as in their classrooms. Our main hall
portrays posters of all 25 Ohio astronauts. Special t-shirts were purchased
for the staff and students. Space themed music and videos are being shown
in our classrooms. The NASA website is being used in our computer tech
classes. At the end of this school year, our 4th and 5th graders will take
a field trip to Lancaster High School's planetarium.
We will be hosting space and radio camps. Our students will begin by
watching the video with astronaut Sunita Williams giving a tour of the ISS.
Camps will have activities for the students, such as sampling space ice
cream, learning Morse Code, electricity and magnetism, solar power, and many
more topics. These topics will be taught with the help of the Lancaster and
Fairfield County Amateur Radio Club, K8QIK. We will also have a
presentation from The Curiosity Dome, a portable HD planetarium.
Tallmadge Elementary has a 21st Century Grant after school program. The
students in this program will be learning Morse Code, radio communications,
electricity and magnetism, solar power, and will be learning about the ISS.
Last spring these students participated in NASA's Rockets Rock and
Aeronautics program. On Fridays, these students will train with NASA's
Train like an Astronaut physical education program. COSI, our local science
center, will visit with a handson workshop focusing on robotics.
After school students will also have hands on projects with Arduino,
building an hydraulic arm, building crystal radios, making Arduino robotic
cars, building ISS models from blocks, and many other projects.
Our students, staff, parents, radio club members, and our community are
looking forward to our contact with the ISS.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. How do you scratch your nose in your spacesuit?
2. How many times do you go around the earth in a year?
3. How do you know when it is time to go to bed and when to get up?
4. What does it feel like when you walk or float in outer space and how does
your body feel when there is no gravity?
5. How many years of schooling does it take to become an astronaut?
6. What does an orbital sunrise look like?
7. What is it like living on earth after living in space?
8. Why does a meteor catch on fire when passing through the atmosphere?
9. Can you describe what a typical day in outer space is like?
10. What scares you the most in outer space?
11. Does your space ship have a nick name?
12. How do you take a shower in space?
13. What would happen if your ship broke down; what is your back-up plan?
14. What is the most surprising aspect of a spacewalk?
15. What do you think you do on the International Space Station that would
make life on earth easier for everyone, including yourself?
16. Are there places besides earth people could live?
17. Since the sun is 5,772 Kelvins, how can Space still be cold?
18. Does your phone, laptop, and ipad work up there?
19. If you had the chance to design your own mission or choose your own
destination, where would you go? And why?

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,
