P.S. Don't get discouraged. These situations usually clear up on
their own when the newbies get more experience and the troublemakers
get bored or ID'd.

AMSAT Grid Chasers,
My semiannual rover trip to activate rare and somewhat rare grids will
happen from April 29th to May 4th or 5th (or longer depending on how things
go). I will fly into Minneapolis and drive back to my home grid CN88,
activating as many ENx8,ENx7,DNx8,and DNx7 grids as possible along the
route. Hopefully I can hit many corners and lines.
I will be on both linear and FM birds.
As always, activations and route details will be posted to my Twitter
@????? at https://twitter.com/N7AGF. I will also be on APRS at
https://aprs.fi/N7AGF-10. In areas of limited cell service, I'll be using
inReach.
Email or hit me on twitter with grid requests, route suggestions, or hot
tourist attractions in Minot.
73,

Building my new ground station and another question. I have always only
elevated my antenna 90 degrees. I loose about 20 25 seconds while the
azimuth rotator turns 180 degrees to track the rest of the pass. I have just
let the coax hang off the back of the antennas in a big loop. I am afraid it
will get hung up going 180 degrees. Question, Can I attach the coax to the
antenna boom and run it back until it gets to the cross boom or will that
throw off the radiation pattern?
Thanks 73

Yes, you can, just pay attention to how far your coax turn is from your
driven element. There are a couple spots to avoid.
It is pretty well explained in Kent Britain's (wa5vjb) paper here:

Boys, Calgary, Alberta, Canada
Message-ID: <F30B11F8D5754D5AA09B38BCFC171F66@???>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at North Point School for Boys, Calgary, Alberta, Canada
on 20 Mar. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 20:16 UTC. It is
recommended that you start listening approximately 10 minutes before this
time.The duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds.
The contact will be a telebridge between OR4ISS and IK1SLD. The contact
should be audible over Alberta, Canada 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.
North Point School for Boys, a private school in Calgary, provides a setting
for boys from Kindergarten to Grade 9 in which they are challenged and
motivated, developing into young men of integrity with a genuine love of
learning. Through strong mentors, experiential learning and blended
learning, students discover who they are and how they learn. Students will
be learning about the International Space Station through social discussion,
science class and engineering academy. Students will be building a scale
model of the International Space Station and learning Canada's commitment to
the space program.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. How did you train to become an astronaut?
2. What do you do all day?
3. Is time different on the space station?
4. What is it like being weightless in space?
5. Is it hard to move around?
6. What is your favourite space food?
7. What is the coolest thing you have seen while on the space station?
8. How long does it take to get used to zero gravity?
9. What did you bring with you to the International Space Station?
10. Was it scary launching on the Space Shuttle?
11. Will you get to do a spacewalk?
12. Do you operate the Canadarm?
13. What does the sunrise look like?
14. How long was the Soyuz ride?
15. What is your rank with the Canadian Space Agency?
16. Do you get to see all the parts of the International Space Station?
17. Can you see Canada from space?
18. How do astronauts breathe with their EVA suits on?
19. Do astronauts eat together?
20. What is it like being 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, www.amsat.org, and www.arrl.org.

Hello All,
I will be participating in the 6th VK5 National and Conservation Parks
Activation Weekend on Saturday the 23rd of March.
In the morning I will be in Little Dip Conservation Park (PF92) and
the afternoon will be in Butcher Gap Conservation Park (PF93).
I will be trying as many passes as I can on FM and SSB birds.

Message-ID:
<CAJOf0+vOsMdWHxShmH8oXk20DwcdWw07CRFM2FofGdqs6P7wQw@????.?????.???>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"
I'm officially releasing version 1.07 of FoxTelem. A test version has been
out for a while, but it had several issues, including a lower decode rate
than 1.06. That prevented release for a while. Those issues (and
something like 65 other defects) are now all fixed and this decoder
performs better than 1.06. Feel free to test them side by side and report
back if that is not the case for you. We are always interested in any
comparative results.
In addition to defects in FoxTelem 1.06 and earlier versions of 1.07, this
also introduces Doppler calculation with automatic adjustment of the
decoder frequency. This is especially useful for decoding beacons and has
been helpful in testing for Fox-1A / AO-85 and Fox-1Cliff / AO-95 which are
both in SAFE mode. Decoding from Doppler takes a bit of configuration to
get right. Have a read of the new sections in the manual or ask for help
if you want to give it a try. There are pros and cons vs "Find Signal" for
sure.
Version 1.07 changes the core SDR within FoxTelem to use a Numerically
Controlled Oscillator (NCO) rather than an FFT Filter for the conversion to
base-band. This produces better decodes and will allow the support of
wider bandwidth SDRs in the future. The old decoder is available still if
needed from the settings screen. Read the manual for details.
Version 1.07 also introduces two new BPSK decoders in advance of the Fox-1E
launch. (I have no inside information about when that will be, but I have
the decoder ready :) I also wrote some notes on the comparison between the
two decoders, which you can read if you are interested in BPSK decoding
performance, or just wonder what I do with my time in the evenings:
http://www.g0kla.com/workbench/2019-03-09.php
The releases are here:
http://amsat.us/FoxTelem/windows/foxtelem_1.07y_windows.zip
http://amsat.us/FoxTelem/linux/foxtelem_1.07y_linux.tar.gz
http://amsat.us/FoxTelem/mac/foxtelem_1.07y_mac.tar.gz
KEY CHANGES in 1.07
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Ability to add a new spacecraft from the menu. You can also remove them.
* Doppler calculation and tracking as an option instead of "Find Signal"
* A better SDR based on a Numerically Controlled Oscillator, ready for
wider SDRs
* Two new PSK decoders - Costas Loop and Dotproduct
* RTL dongle implemented for testing, though more work to do
* Stops downloading keps when position calc is off
* Allows toggling of high speed / DUV display when in auto mode
* Fixed plotting issues for Earth plots
* Fixes several crashes and bugs
* Fixes copy paste issues with tables
* Respects left/right audio preference when processing wav files
* Implements formats for later spacecraft - Fox-1E and HuskySat
* Linux and Mac launch script updated to locate the JVM (especially on
Mac). Please report if when this works/does not work
* MEMS gyro calibration updated
* Fixed a bug where AO-85 data from the server could not be stepped through
And many other bug fixes. Full list of changes here:
