Sean,
When I?m not using it, my station is controlled by the SatNOGS project. They
scheduled ISS observations all weekend, which automated the process.

Hi Rick
I have the TRX for two weeks now. After over 20 years experience with the
FT-736 is the new radio a very big step for me. (The FT-736 works now
exclusively for QO-100 ;-)
The receiver is very sensitive and I like the panoramic spectrum. Now, I
have better overview, whats going on in the sat band. At the beginning, it
was a little bit difficult for me, to understand the sat mode. But this just
the mind change between the old FT-736 philosophy and the new IC-9700.
The radio works with sat-pc32 (IC-9100). But when the band mode changes from
U/V to V/U or otherwise, then I have to do the change manualy.
What I really miss is a N-connector for VHF and connectors for Transverter
or Converter. And for the moment, I didn't figured out, how the ACC
connector work. I search for band indicators for steering my different
sequencers in the logic of fullduplex. (for each band a sequencer).
So that's my first impression about the IC-9700. Over all: A great new radio.

International Space Station Astronauts are Calling CQ Students
ARISS-US program?s education proposal window is open April 1 - May 15, 2019
?
March 24, 2019:? The Amateur Radio on the International Space Station
(ARISS) program is seeking proposals beginning April 1, 2019, from US
schools, museums, science centers and community youth organizations (working
individually or together) to host radio contacts with an orbiting crew
member aboard the International Space Station (ISS) between January 1, 2020
and June 30, 2020.
?
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. 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 April 1, 2019 and the proposal deadline is May 15,
2019. For proposal guidelines and forms and more details, go to:
http://ariss-proposal-webinar-spring-2019.eventbrite.com
Proposal webinars for guidance and getting questions answered will be
offered April 11, 2019 at 7 pm Eastern Time and April 16, 2019 at 9 pm
Eastern Time. Advance registration is necessary. To sign up, go to

great friend and colleague Astronaut Owen Garriott, W5LFL (SK). Owen
Garriott died at his home in Huntsville, Alabama on April 15, 2019.
A passionate amateur radio operator and ionospheric physics researcher, Owen
inspired the amateur radio community to reach for the stars. His
multi-decade vision to bring amateur radio with him as part of his journey
in space was realized in 1983 on the STS-9 Space Shuttle Columbia mission,
where hams the world over for the first time heard a fellow ham call CQ from
space. As the first to operate ham radio in space, Owen blazed a trail that
has enabled countless people from around the world to experience what it is
like to journey into space and explore our universe. As a result, he
inspired the international amateur radio community to extend his modest ham
station on STS-9 into an international human spaceflight ham radio program
that has spanned the Space Shuttle, Mir Space Station, and International
Space Station.
A member of the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame, Owen Garriott was a pioneer and
innovator in all his endeavors?including amateur radio. Selected as a NASA
scientist-astronaut in 1965, Garriott was the science-pilot for Skylab 3,
the second crewed Skylab mission. Skylab was the first U.S. space station,
housing 3 different crew expeditions from May 1973-February 1974. Owen
spent approximately 60 days on Skylab, doing solar physics research, human
physiological research and conducting 3 spacewalks to repair Skylab and
extend its research capabilities.
Owen?s next flight into space, as part of an international crew on the
STS-9 Space Shuttle Columbia mission, cemented amateur radio?s future as
part of the human spaceflight experience. STS-9 was launched from the
Kennedy Space Center, Florida on November 28, 1983. Onboard Columbia was an
internationally developed space laboratory, Spacelab-1, which pioneered
international spaceflight research with over 70 separate experiments---a
precursor to the research currently being accomplished on the International
Space Station (ISS). Onboard also was a Motorola 2-meter handheld radio
with a window mounted antenna to facilitate ham radio contacts between W5LFL
and hams on the ground. On December 1, the third day of his mission, Owen
donned his headset and made history by communicating with Lance Collister,
WA1JXN, in Frenchtown, Montana. In W5LFL?s own words, here is an excerpt of
his first contact: ?W5LFL in Columbia is calling CQ and standing by. Go
ahead. Hello WA1JXN, WA1 Juliet X?ray November, this is W5LFL. I picked up
your signals fairly weakly. I think our attitude is not really the best as
yet, but you're our first contact from orbit. WA1 Juliet X?ray November,
how do you read? Over.?
Owen?s ham contacts on STS-9 were trailblazing for many reasons. They
represented the first ham radio contact from a human in space to someone on
Earth. They allowed the general public to directly listen and communicate
with an on-orbit crew where, prior to this, only NASA mission control
personnel or heads of State (U.S. Presidents, etc.) could talk to astronauts
from space. And the mission also demonstrated that a group of volunteers
could successfully build a ham radio station for a human spaceflight vehicle
and get it formally approved by a space agency.
Owen spent decades attempting to carry out ham radio on one of his missions,
employing gentle assertiveness and steadfast patience to realize his dream.
In 1965, when NASA was considering Owen for a planned lunar flight on Apollo
18, 19 or 20, Project MOONRAY was proposed by the Project OSCAR team.
Project MOONRAY would support amateur radio operations from the surface of
the moon. This initiative was scuttled when Apollo lunar expeditions ended
at Apollo-17. Prior to his flight on Skylab, AMSAT submitted a proposal to
NASA called SKYLARC (Skylab Amateur Radio Communications). Unfortunately,
this proposal was turned down. But, as they say, the 3rd time was a charm
on STS-9 and ham radio is now a human spaceflight reality. Also, it should
be noted that an ARISS/AMSAT international team is pursuing Owen?s plans to
fly ham radio to the moon via several lunar proposal initiatives, including
the Lunar Gateway.
Owen inspired legions of amateur radio operators, world-wide, to support
human spaceflight amateur radio endeavors and for countless individuals to
become ham radio operators. This includes his son, Richard, W5KWQ, who
together with Owen became the first multi-generational American ham radio
operators to communicate from space.
On behalf of the ARISS International Team, we would like to extend our
sincere condolences to the Garriott family, including Owen?s son Richard,
W5KWQ and Owen?s wife Eve. As Owen has inspired the amateur radio
community to reach for the stars may we wish Owen Garriott Godspeed and a
wonderful journey amongst the stars.
Ad Astra!

I was wondering when AISAT-1 will be on TQSL/LOTW ? Digipeater has been
working now and qso's made . It would be nice if we could enter them in LOTW
.. Thank You JACK KC7MG

I'm in contact with LOTW. If AISAT-1 receives IARU coordination it will be
eligible for an OSCAR number. I'm waiting until after the next IARU
coordination meeting to ask the ARRL to move ahead with adding it to LOTW.
