Subject: Re: [amsat-bb] [VHFcontesting] [VHF] 5 Band VUCC Award
With regards to 5 Band VUCC. I think that satellite VUCC (100 QSOs) is
just another band. (more accurate - Sat is a mode)
The ARRL identifies 10 VUCC bands between 50 MHz and 10 GHz. Satellite is
just the 11th VUCC band.
Complete VUCC in any 5 bands and earn the 5BVUCC. Am I missing something?
Has anyone completed VUCC in all 11 bands?

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

I use ISS Detector as it had the best user experience that I found.
All of the calculations are done in the cloud. No cell service no pass
list. Something to keep in mind if you are roving.
As for the times, if you tap on the radar it shows times.

I have had many people contact me needing EM61. If the weather agrees,
myself and my daughter, W4AQT, will make the 20-30 drive and activate it
this weekend. As we get closer to the weekend, I?ll start looking at passes.
Most likely, it will be done on one of the linear birds since it will be the
weekend and I try to avoid the FM drama on weekends. I?ll send out another
post later this week with details. 73!

Hello Apostolous,
YES!, the windows executable of Gpredic works nicely on W10.

To everyone who contacted me while I was roving in Capital Reef NP last
Thursday, 4/18... I seem to have fouled up my upload to LoTW, all the
entries are listed in grid DM58 instead of DM48. I tried to correct and
upload to LoTW again, but it seems that most of our contacts have
already been confirmed on LoTW. I will be happy to send any and all of
you a QSL card confirming our contact, unless someone can tell me how to
correct my mistake so you all can get a QSL out of LoTW.

It should update your end of the QSO when you re-upload the set. It should
be visible in the QSO details.
