DATE April 17, 2019
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-107.01
It is with great sadness that the ARISS team recognizes the passing of
our 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 re-
searcher, 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 inter-
national 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 cap-
abilities.
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 init-
iative 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 AMSAT/ARISS 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 sup-
port 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 God-
speed and a wonderful journey amongst the stars.

Hi all.
I posted this to the AMSAT FB page before thinking it might have been better
to post here. I'll soon be making my first multi grid rove and am looking
for insight on how best to set up TQSL. How complex do my rules/qso sets
need to be for this? Can I/should I consider using the and/any rule for
neighboring grids? Been pondering this for a couple days now and not really
making a lot of progress.
Tnx es 73

I live in a very crowded, suburban neighborhood with a strict HOA. No
outside antennas allowed.
Luckily, I have a large attic with plenty of height. This has allowed me to
mount a Az-El rotor with a 4 element 2 Meter Yagi, and an 11 Element 432
Yagi. Also found room a 15 element loop Yagi for 1.2 GHz.
Everything works great except when I?m operating birds with a 2 Meter
downlink. Noise in some directions can be very high on that band. I?ve
eliminated all noise sources inside my own home, but have neighbors that are
putting out a lot of noise across the VHF spectrum.
This basically limits me to passes above about 20 degrees for those birds.
Once I get up to a high enough elevation angle, the noise goes away.
Anything else I can try? Would a 2 Meter band filter help?

I have an IC-9700 and set up SatPC32 for the IC-9100 as it is the nearest
option and simply changed the CI-V address. It seems to work OK on cross
band duplex but I don't seem to be able to find a way to handle the simplex
satellites. Sometimes I have been able to get the radio to switch to the
downlink frequency it does not apply the doppler correction on transmit.
Any Ideas?

I think you might be crossing a few thought streams here.
TSQL needs to have a location for every different operating location. You
can go as specific as you would like, i.e. 6 digit grid squares, counties,
parks, etc... Or stop at 4 digits and the State, this would be faster if
you do multiple locations in the same grid+state. For grid lines I only
have tried 4 digit grid squares, not sure if it will take longer ones.
As for Rules, that is, as far as I know, setup in thebLoTW award area. I
have a few ands & ors in my VUCC award account because I operate portable
and might not be in my 6 digit grid square for each QSO.
I hpe this was helpful and on topic for your question. At least this is
information that would have saved me some time when I got started.
Feel free to email me off list if you (or anyone else) want.

Does anyone happen to know the operational status of PO-101?
I see that it's getting reported as working from several stations in Japan,
but it seems to be very silent over the US on multiple passes.
Perhaps it's only available during certain locations?

It's only in testing right now and has been activated for just a few passes
over the United States. There should be a regular operating schedule in
place fairly soon from what I understand.

I will update the scores on http://data.amsat-uk.org/ranking
<http://data.amsat-uk.org/ranking> over the next couple of days.
I will also create a page similar to that which you are familiar:

+1 for what KB2YSI said.
Yes gridlines and grid corners it will take 6 digit grids, an Example from
my DM Rove here is the location in TQSL (DM16xa,DM15xx,DM26aa,DM25ax).
As for VUCC/WAS award rules, the biggest thing is figuring out your
VUCC/WAS circle and knowing what locations would be in or out of your
circle. Keep in mind VUCC circle is bigger then WAS.
