Can't beat an old smart phone (Android in my case), has tons of free
recording apps, easily transfer/post audio files over WiFi, and costs
nothing. Leave out the SIM card and be sure to turn ON air-plane mode, helps
betteries work longer. An audio splitter, will let you use headphones while
recording excellent quality audio without the surrounding noise.

Hi Folks,
The next Rocket Lab launch window is scheduled to start on May 4th NZST at
18:00 to 22:00 (06:00 to 10:00).
So that will be in the dark.
See: https://www.rocketlabusa.com/next-mission/launch-complex-1/
They should be streaming it from their web site.

Friday - April 26 1000 UTC: We are sorry to announce that we have had to
postpone our rove to Maine this weekend. Matt, W1PY, is very ill and is not
able to travel. We held out hope that he would get well enough to make the
trip, but we have made the decision to cancel Friday morning.
Once Matt is well, we will look to reschedule this rove as soon as possible.
We feed bad and are very sorry we are not able to give you new grids this
weekend. Stay tuned for updates in the next few days.

On Sunday May 5th Mid Morning to early afternoon, I'll be making a run to
FN11/FN21 line. I'll also possibly make a run up to FN12 after the FN11/FN21
operation. It will be what ever passes come during that time FM & SSB Linear

It was one of the "larger" thrills hearing Owen call "CQ North America"
from STS-9. I still have the "prized" QSL card.
It was dumb luck that I heard Him. I was on my way home from work,
listening to my VHF Micor, when He called CQ. I almost drive off the road.
Anybody remember the frequency ?? Most likely 146.52. My "converted" Micor
only did FM, of course.
And, 1983 were the day's of the "hand tracked" RS series of Sats. Much fun.

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
https://ariss-proposal-webinar-spring-2019.eventbrite.com

PSAT2, ISS Sat Gate needed in Central America.
See the coverage map for the APRS satellites on 145.825. There is a hole
in Central America where the telemetry from these satellites can go for
almost three full orbits and not be captured. All the rest of the world
is covered.
Coverage Map: http://aprs.org/psat2.html
We'd like to fill that hole!

participating schools Colegio San Jos? Obrero, Palma de Mallorca(Islas
Baleares-Espa?a), Spain and Colegio Luis Vives, Palma de Mallorca(Islas
Baleares-Espa?a), Spain. on 29 Apr. The event is scheduled to begin at
approximately 11:48 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 NA1SS and W6SRJ. The contact should be audible over the west coast
of the U.S. Interested parties are invited to listen in on the 145.80 MHz
downlink. The contact is expected to be conducted in English.
Story:
Sant Josep Obrer School was founded 64 years ago, and has more than 3000
students, ages ranging from 2 to 21. Luis Vives School was founded 59 years
ago, and has more than 1300 students, ages ranging from 2 to 21. Both
centers are from Palma de Mallorca (Balearic Islands, Spain). The school
forms part of the 120 best Spanish schools. 180 pupils of 15 years old have
participated in the whole project.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. When did you decide you wanted to be an astronaut and why?
2. Is it uncomfortable to sleep at zero gravity?
3. How did you feel the first time you arrived in space?
4. We have read that the ISS uses gyroscopes. What are they used for?
5. Why is it that from Earth we can see a blue sky and from the ISS you
aren't able to?
6. What do you feel when you wake up every morning and see the world so far
away with all its colours and its oceans.?
7. Why do you have to modify the ISS orbit on a regular basis?
8. How do you maintain the facilities on board the ISS?
9. How do you recycle water?
10. What type of food do you eat on the ISS?
11. What's an astronaut's daily routine on board the ISS?
12. What impresses you the most about this whole experience?
13. What exercises do you do to maintain a good physical condition?
14. When you are sick, what do you do?
15. What would you like to do that nobody has ever done in space?
16. In your space menu, do you have a favorite dish?
17. What was the most difficult test you had to pass to become an astronaut?
18. Is it hard to adapt to the conditions in outer space?
19. What type of activities can you carry out\do during your free time in
space?
20. Does a watch onboard the ISS keep the same time as if it were on Earth?

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.
Thank you & 73,
David - AA4KN
