Hi!
After the successful "AMSAT on the Queen Mary" event last December,
satellite operating will make a return to the RMS Queen Mary during
the upcoming Memorial Day weekend (25-27 May 2019), as part of the
"Memorial Day Salute to Service" by the Queen Mary. W6RO will be on
the satellites, as well as the HF bands, during these 3 days.
The Queen Mary will be honoring those who have served in the armed
forces, and in particular the Queen Mary's use as a troopship during
World War II. The Queen Mary, along with other cruise ships, were
pressed into service to ferry Allied soldiers around the world. Along
with the other activities planned on the ship, some of which are
already listed on the Queen Mary's web site at:
https://www.queenmary.com/calendar-of-events/memorial-day/home/
The W6RO station, part of the Associated Radio Amateurs of Long
Beach, will participate in these celebrations. W6RO will be on HF with
stations located on the Sports Deck, near the ship's bow outside the
W6RO Wireless Room. Even though satellites were still considered
science fiction by many in the 1940s, W6RO will also work satellites
during this event, with the support of AMSAT. The satellite operating
will take place in the same area on the ship, around the Sports Deck.
Satellite operations are planned for FM, SSB, and possibly the
orbiting packet digipeaters. W6RO is located in the Port of Long
Beach, in California's Los Angeles County. Long Beach is in grid
DM03.
QSLs for contacts with W6RO will be handled according to the
instructions at:
http://www.qrz.com/db/W6RO
HF operators will provide a serial number with each HF contact, and
this serial number needs to be included with a QSL request for those
contacts. Serial numbers will *not* be required when requesting a
W6RO QSL card for satellite contacts. W6RO does not participate in
Logbook of the World.
Thanks to David Akins N6HHR, the manager of the W6RO Wireless Room
for the Associated Radio Amateurs of Long Beach, for organizing the
radio-related activities for the Memorial Day weekend (including the
satellite operations). Thanks also to the management of the Queen
Mary, for allowing the radio activities outside the W6RO Wireless
Room during this event.
73!

I am happy with the moxon - uhf pretty small and wiring can be challenging
with the phasing and matching lines. My uhf has a mast mount preamp, vhf
just 30 ft coax and rtl-sdr at Max gain. Could be better but all I want to
invest at first. QFH are highly recommended and you can see then on old
videos of the lunar lander :). Satnogs stations 142 and 216.

Hi Don!
Current pass times for the CAS-4 satellites may have something
to do with the small number of stations, at least for North
America. With pass times in the evening and into the night
right now, many passes would be quiet. Compare that
to late March, when CAS-4 passes were during the daytime
for North America. I had fun working the many passes
on both CAS-4 satellites from locations in Arizona and New
Mexico. When more of the passes are in daylight, or at
least not during the night, you'll hear more stations.

And I thought people were supposed to be working during the daytime, hi hi!
Anyway, my first ever sat QSO was on CAS-4B and I do see at least one
station using CAS-4A/B whenever I can monitor them. But YB0NXX is right,
we can use more operators of linear birds in Asia.

Wow, great site!
Woiuld it be possible to add an ARROW to the map showing the direction that
a satellite is moving. This is very useful in anticipating upcoming passes.

Chris,
My sincere apologies. I got it running two weeks ago. The day before we left
for a work-related trip. It?s running great now.
The only issue was that I needed to resize the window so the that the ?Save?
button was visible. Operator error 100%. It?s a great program, and a real
aid to satellite operators. Highly recommended.
Now if I can just find time to get on the air!

By the way, When we say a vertical-over-a-ground plane, we are not talking
about a "ground plane antenna". That commonly refers to a 1/4 wave
radiating element and four "ground plane" radials.
But this is no better than a vertical dipole when you model it in free
space. Yes, the radials make a good match to 50 Ohm coax, but do not
simulate an infinite ground plane.. The antenna pattern is still just a
donut with half the energy going into the ground.
So here is the question. If one put another set of ground radials 1/4 wave
below the initial radials and tuned them longer to act like real 180 degree
phase reversals (like reflectors on a yagi), would this then make the
antenna really pick up the missing 3 dBi that otherwise goes into the
ground?

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
