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:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"

I have been told that this radio will not accept CAT doppler adjustments
while it is transmitting. I definitely see that it doesn't, but don't know
if I might be doing something wrong.

Here is how it behaves:

If not transmitting, doppler correction works perfectly. As I assert PTT,
doppler adjustment stops and I slide up the band...pretty quickly on high
passes. If I hold the ptt for more than a couple of seconds, I will go
right out of the passband of my 2.2 kHz filter...and of course become
unintelligible.

As soon as I drop PTT, and key the mike again, I'm dead on freq...and as
long as I hold the PTT on, I drift up the band. *It appears the the FT-857D
will not accept CAT commands while PTT is asserted.*

At this point I need to know that there is no real solution to this problem
with this radio. If that's true, I can get pretty good at doing this:

1. Assert PTT and start talking.

2. Grab VFO knob, adjust as I talk to keep sounding good.

3. Drop PTT and begin to listen to other station. (at the drop of PTT,  tx
freq snaps to "proper" place that it couldn't get to when PTT was asserted)

4. My turn to talk: Assert PTT and I'm dead on freq where I belong.

Basically, I'm doing manual uplink adjustment to freq while I'm talking and
letting the CAT adjustment for doppler to take place (to the uplink freq)
while I'm listening.

*If there is a better way to do this, please advise*.

Note, it is not practical to drop PTT quickly enough and often enough to
prevent the problem...I can only speak a couple syllables at best, before I
slide away.

Equipment and Setup:

Rx: SDRPlay RSP2 Sofware Defined Radio with SDR Console v 3.03 providing
Doppler to Rx

Tx: Yaesu FT-857D controlled as External Radio by SDR Console v 3.03
providing doppler correction to the External Radio.

p.s.  I have tried other doppler control programs and they behave the same
way.

Any and all help would be most appreciated, even simply: You are stuck with
the way you are currently doing it.

Hasan,

It's a "design feature". As you said, you've been told correctly. It doesn't
accept CAT commands for changing frequency whilst in TX.

The FT897D performs the same way, no CAT frequency adjustment while
transmitting.

Now that I have successfully transmitted a 10m PSK31 signal to PSAT (NO-84)
and have found it on the 70cm FM downlink, I feel foolish that it took me
this long to figure it all out.

The antenna for 10m is a My Antennas EFHW-8010 (130 ft. wire), so it did
not require a beam or anything directional:

Here is a tweet w/ screen shots that I posted:

... and here is the excellent how-to from 2M0SQL that finally got me going
with this mode:

Hope to complete a QSO with another station soon!

Yep, it works the same way. Not sure about the FT-818, but I have no reason
to believe it won?t behave the same as well.
