My fun cube dongle pro + will not receive any single. It appears like it
lost its LNA. Is this a common issue? It also causes a reboot when first
plugged into the USB connector.

I suggest trying to get in contact with Howard Long, G6LVB. He is the
designer/builder of the FCD. QRZ lists his email address, but I won't put
it here to possibly reduce spam into his inbox.

After seeing the observations by Patrick (WD9EWK) and others, I took the
predictions from HRD and plotted a couple of graphs in Excel. I realize the
pattern will change over time, but for FWIW, I'll know when it is a good
time to get on-the-air.?

Its pretty straight-forward, just let me know if anyone wants to try it out
for their grid square.
Also, please let me know if there is a version accessible via the web,
thanks in advance.

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.

Reference the recent discussion on omni satellite antennas, I've used for
years a Ringo Range II. Works for most passes. Made many contacts with
ISS & could hear AO-40 at apogee when it was working.

Dear all,
Is there a better rubber ducky replacement for the Alinco G7T?
Preferably with higher gain for the 1.2 GHz.

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

Hi Umesh!
It was nice to hear you this morning from your event, along
with Dan AC9E at his hamfest in Las Cruces NM. It is fun to
hear other demonstrations on a pass. The crowd with me
in Sierra Vista AZ enjoyed the demonstration. One member
of my audience listened to the 145.880 MHz AO-92 downlink
on his own radio with its stock duckie antenna.

Yono,
Diamond has some tri-band whips that are rated with more
gain than the stock Alinco antenna. There are the RH951S
(BNC) and SRH951S (SMA) whips:
https://diamondantenna.net/rh951s.html
http://www.diamond-ant.co.jp/english/amateur/antenna/ante_3hand/ante_hand2.htm
l
Diamond also has a larger quad-band whip, adding 6m to the
three bands of the DJ-G7T, the SRH999:
https://diamondantenna.net/srh999.html
If you want to use a DJ-G7T to work AO-92's L/V mode,
there are some directional antennas - including some
designs you can make. I wrote about them last year here
on the AMSAT-BB list:
https://amsat.org/pipermail/amsat-bb/2018-October/069868.html
Good luck, and 73!
