Yep, that's almost exactly what I do, except I use Post-it notes. After the
pass, I enter the data into my phone as a backup. When I get home, I enter
the data into my Excel workbook that creates ADIF files that I upload to
LoTW and eQSL. I also add the calls and grids that I didn't work on the pass
to my cheatsheet of active satellite ops, if they aren't already on there,
which is another helpful memory-jogging device that I use to help me with
partial calls, and which doubles as a writing surface for my Post-it
notes.?After uploading my ADIF files to those online logbooks, I discard the
physical copy, as those QSO records (and my complete log for that matter)
are backed up in multiple places.?
One tip I learned from Kevin N4UFO is that one doesn't have to be too
specific about the time, as the passes that are off by more than the longest
pass duration will still match in LoTW and elsewhere. But I still usually
end up logging the QSO time to the minute out of habit.?

My logging method is to start with a clean sheet of paper (in an 8.5x11
spiral notebook) and as soon as I hear a call, write it down and keep
going down the page. Even if they are working someone else or just
throwing out their call. If I hear their grid, I write that down next to
their call too. If I end up contacting them I write the exact time down
next to wherever their call & grid is on the page. That spreads out the
'writing' and helps recognize calls & grids on other passes, etc.

Hi Launch Watchers,
Launch now delayed until Sunday due to bad weather.
Quote from their twitter feed:
?With a worsening weather system on the way, Rocket Lab is now targeting no
earlier than 0400 UTC, Sunday 16 December for the #ELaNa19 launch on

window.?

Hello all,
I am hosting a forum at Ham Radio University http://hamradiouniversity.org/
to help those who may be interested in getting involved with satellite
communications.
While putting my presentation together I thought it might be nice to see
what fellow sat ops are using to work the sats. I?ll be discussing various
rigs/antenna/rotator/tracking systems and have stock photos but I thought it
would be fun to see what others are running in the real world.
If you care to share some photos please send them to me at wa2ndv@?????.???
Please use HRU PIC in the subject line. Photo credits will be given if you
like.
Ham Radio University is a completely voluntary function, there are no
vendors or swap meet. Its all about education and fellowship.
Thank you all for the courtesy of your time.

You can run a report in WINListen. It will show a "E" Between the day and
time when the bird is in eclipse. I also seem to remember, but not seeing it
now, that the sat name turns red when eclipse in SATPc32. Am I recalling
that correctly? If so where is that setting?

AO-85 is back in transponder mode and open for use with a few conditions.
Please do not use the satellite while in eclipse. If the footprint of the
satellite does not touch any part of the ground that is in daylight, the
satellite is in eclipse. This will give us a little extra battery life, and
extend the satellite's usable life. Please also do not "kerchunk" the
satellite while in eclipse. I know this has been done to increase the number
of telemetry packets received, but it is no longer acceptable. Thank you for
your understanding and cooperation.

Subject: [ARISS-i] Upcoming ARISS contact with Kenilworth School and Sixth
Form, Kenilworth, United Kingdom
An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at Kenilworth School and Sixth Form, Kenilworth, United Kingdom
on 14 Dec. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 12:55 UTC. The
duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The
contact will be direct between OR4ISS and GB4KSN. The contact should be
audible over the United Kingdom 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. Watch for live stream at: https://live.ariss.org/
Kenilworth School and Sixth Form is located in the historic town of
Kenilworth in Warwickshire England, we are effectively in the dead centre of
England. The school is made up of 1880 students and just over 200 teaching
and support staff. We are a true comprehensive school meaning that we do not
select students on their academic abilities when starting school and teach
students with a range of academic abilities. This being said, we are the top
performing non selective school in the whole of Warwickshire, Coventry and
Solihull based on last year's GCSE results and have been judged as an
Outstanding school by Ofsted and have recently been awarded World Class
School status.
The school has a successful and very popular Space, Rocket and Robotics
extra-curricular club run by Mr Harwood - Suther. Students have taken part
in many activities such as building their own Galilean telescopes, rocket
cars and taking part in a number of robotic competitions organised by VEX,
as well as taking part in regular stargazing events. We have also been
extremely lucky to have hosted samples of moon rock for our students to look
at on two occasions.
The school has also been awarded the Space Education Quality Mark (Silver)
as well as the Teen Tech Award Centre for Innovation (Silver).
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. What surprised you the most when you entered space?
2. Do you believe there is some form of living extra-terrestrial intelligent
lifeforms beyond earth, not just bacteria and fossils?
3. During your training would you be able to describe your hardest moment and
your most enjoyable experience from your training?
4. How do you find the food in space compared to when you are back on earth?
5. When you were a child did you always know you wanted to be an astronaut
and fly to space?
6. Where would you prefer to live, on board The ISS or Earth?
7. What kind of plant life can be grown on the ISS as there is no oxygen or
CO2 in space?
8. Why do liquids when poured out in space, always form round blobs?
9. From information that I have read, male astronauts say that "space" smells
very metallic. Is it any different for female astronauts in space?
10. How will it be possible to live on Mars and plant trees, flowers, and
create an earth like environment?
11. If you are in space, how does the zero gravity make you taller?
12. Is the sunrise brighter than on earth?
13. I am interested about Europa which orbits Jupiter. If life was found on
Europa, what are the biological protocols to protect indigenous life and
samples on or from other worlds?
14. How long did it take to get used to life on the space station?
15. What is the daily day to day routine in regards to personal hygiene?
16. This is your first visit to the to the International Space Station. What
are your thoughts on another opportunity and perhaps take part in a
spacewalk?
17. Does it feel like you're moving when you're on the ISS or do you just
feel as though you are floating in the emptiness of space?
18. What do you think will change in space stations in the future decade?
19. What's your favourite thing to do in space?
20. When you come back to earth do you see the earth differently than you did
before you left?
21. What is the strangest thing you have seen in space?

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<http://www.ariss.org>,
