Great post sean!! I agree 100% with everything you said.
Bottom line, if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem!
Personal animus has no place on the list. If you can't play nice, then
maybe you shouldn't be playing at all!
As far as the original question - all antennas are a compromise! All
antennas have their pros and cons! If you have to use an omni for the
sats, you'll likely need to use pre-amps. I've looked at most of the omni
options, and I like the Texas Potato Mashers and the lindenblads as decent
options (w/ pre-amps). I have yet to implement an omni setup though, so I
have no practical experience with them. Juggling a handheld beam and two
radios is not easy, especially when compared to the mega-buck setups a lot
of people have. However, the satisfaction of successfully working someone
on the sats with a handheld setup is the greatest!!

I have an M2 eggbeater on the roof of my house. I have it installed with
the "ground plane radials" so it is good from about 65 degrees and up.
Basically the opposite of what Bob Bruninga recommends. As one might
expect it works for downloading telemetry from satellites that are at
about 65 degrees elevation and up. I do also use it on the APRS
satellites (NO-84 and ISS) for minimal QSOs with moderate success. I do
not have a preamp attached.
Bob is correct about eggbeaters vs. verticals and elevation. When I was
first starting with the birds I decided to try to get the birds at
higher elevations so I set it up that way and it's still that way. I
know I'm missing out on the low passes, but I'm OK with that for now.
For the voice birds (mostly SO-50 and AO-92) I use a handheld Arrow
antenna and two Baofeng handhelds.
I'm cheap but I have fun.

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 K6DUE. The contact should be audible over the
east 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.
The school is planning to live stream the event at
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-bFBNgC1aYdGV493kb5ImA/live
Moriah Central School is located in the foothills of the Adirondack

students and 50 teachers. Located near the beautiful Lake Champlain, Moriah
Central School is home of the Vikings! With many successful academic and
athletic programs such as football, basketball, cheerleading, drama club,
band, chorus and many student clubs, many opportunities are available for
all students. In addition to a new educational technology center, the
district is proud of our distance learning lab, amateur radio station,
computer programming classes, and other programs designed specifically in
helping the surrounding communities in Essex County. Moriah Central School
District proclaims its mission to be the provision of a safe, supportive,
and academically challenging environment for all students in our community.
We are dedicated to the goals of educational excellence, preparation for
college and careers, and the developmen
t of a high level of citizenship.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. What is the purpose of the International Space Station and why is it a
value to all of humanity?
2. What is the most amazing thing you have seen from the space station?
3. What do you get to do in your free time when you are not working?

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,

John,
The AMSAT-BB is a most appropriate place to post requests for skeds.
Another place would be Twitter, as there is an active group of
satellite operators that post there regularly.?? If you have a Twitter
account, you can follow and tweet to @????? to contact other satellite
operators.?? I believe that there is something similar on Facebook.
Since I don't use Facebook, I'll have to let someone else verifythat.
I would love to have a QSO with you and your students!?? Unfortunately,
I live in Richardson, TX (EM12px) and opportunities for skeds are
infrequent, brief, and at low elevation angles (like less than one
degree maximum)!?? It is a bit more possible the further west I go.
In March of 2018, I had a successful sked with N7AGF at BK29gq, while
he was there on vacation.?? I was at EM12ek and we both heard each other
loud and clear, so it is doable. The distance was nearly 6000km!
I don't know whether you and your class would be interested in trying
a sked with such a great distance.?? I'm sure that there are satellite
operator on the west coast that would be willing to have a sked.
73 and Mahalo,
Mac Cody / AE5PH

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
