When the satellite is directly overhead with a vertical antenna that might
be tough to contact. Perhaps pointing the antenna at the ground is causing

Many good explanations have been offered, but I'm surprised no one has
suggested the most obvious one...
most of our satellites have, after all, INVERTING transponders!

Subject: [amsat-bb] Upcoming ARISS contact with Traverse Area District
Library, Traverse City, MI
Message-ID: <D768A060669348F8A74D29E4C26948BE@???>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at Traverse Area District Library, Traverse City, MI on 28
June. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 14:02 UTC. The
duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The
contact will be direct between NA1SS and W8TCM. The contact should be
audible over the state of Michigan and areas within the ISS signal path.
Interested parties are invited to listen in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. The
contact is expected to be conducted in English.
If you hold your right hand up, palm side facing you, that's what people
from the lower peninsula of Michigan use as a reasonable map
(just ask Astronaut Christina Koch). Traverse City is situated at the notch
formed between your pinky and ring fingers, representing
its location at the head of Grand Traverse Bay, part of Lake Michigan. Its
location near the 45th parallel region and the Great lakes
generally offers warm, mild, summers and severe winters.
The Traverse City area is the largest producer of tart cherries in the
United States, and each July the city hosts the weeklong National
Cherry Festival attracting approximately 500,000 visitors annually. The
surrounding countryside also produces hops and grapes, and is one
of the centers of wine production in the Midwest. The area features many
natural attractions, including freshwater beaches, Sleeping Bear
Dunes National Lakeshore, downhill skiing areas, and numerous forests. Arts
and cultural activities such as the Traverse City Film Festival,
the National Writers Series, and nearby Interlochen Center for the Arts, add
to a vibrant quality of life.
The Traverse Area District Library (TADL) is a network of six libraries,
serving over 90,000 residents of Grand Traverse County. With over
68,000 active cardholders, TADL provides dynamic resources and innovative
services to stimulate intellectual curiosity, facilitate lifelong
learning, promote literacy, and nurture personal enrichment. This includes
many resources and programs to support early literacy. Encouraging
exploration and curiosity through STEM and other creative programs for
youth. TADL provides access to a variety of materials and services for
research, local history collections, learning new or developing existing
skills, and much more. Our annual Summer Reading Club program, for
readers of all ages, is in full swing. This year's theme is about space and
titled: A Universe of Stories.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. What personal items did you bring with you to space?
2. What does math have to do with space? Do you use addition,
multiplication or algebra?
3. What effect does being in space have on the body other than being
taller?
4. Does low gravity interfere with your digestive system?
5. How will your new robot, Astrobee, help you work in space?
6. How do you make or store oxygen in space?
7. How do you prevent medical problems in space, and what happens if an
astronaut requires emergency surgery?
8. How much space debris is in orbit, and how do you handle it when it
comes near the ISS?
9. How many girls go up to outer space?
10. What responsibility and/or efforts is the space program making to
protect the ozone layer?
11. How did your military background apply to becoming an astronaut?
12. What do you do with the trash on the ISS? Do you recycle or reuse?
13. Can you see the melting of glaciers and polar ice caps from outer
space?
14. How is sleeping in space different from sleeping on Earth?
15. How long can you work in the space suit during a spacewalk?
16. What is your favorite food in space?

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 ISS National Lab 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 public forms. Before
and during these radio contacts, students, educators, parents, and
communities learn about space, space technologies, and amateur radio. For
more information, see www.ariss.org.
Thank you & 73,
David - AA4KN

I really hope this is not another trick question, if not, better get a new
antenna, radio, and/or coax - seriously.?
A 70 degree pass of the Fox-es and a clear view, their strong signal be
received with a random wire.
On such a high pass, normally get 4of9 bars with a rubber duck and 8of9 bars
with a 2 el yagi !
Good luck,

Fellow sat enthusiasts, I was able to find out the issue with high SWR on 2M
M2 Leopak. It was a user error.....the culprit Coax or barrel F/F
connector (still to check).
Prior to finding out the issue, I did remove the special rubber tape from
each of the cable connections....clean them...test continuity passed. The
only change in my setup, I moved my station from 2nd floor to basement,
hence the need to add more coax to both 2m/70cm. I used a F/F N barrel on
each coax run and seal them with Dual Wall Adhesive Lined Heat Shrink Tubing.
I had mentioned that I did a check right at the antenna feed-point with a
small coax jumper...well, this jumper cable had issues also.
Yesterday, I removed both 2m/70cm from the roof and brought down to basement
for a closer checkup (too hot to be on roof). I used a different jumper
coax cable and run test with analyzer attached. Perfect match all across
2m. So I did not try anything else and placed them back on roof. Run the
same test with small coax...perfect! This time I swapped the coax and run
the same test from the station...perfect! Now 70cm is experiencing high SWR.
So I now need to cure this coax by removing heat shrink tubing, barrel
removal, etc....test with analyzer.
This is a lesson learn that I hope can be of some use for others....and
please accept my apologies for the bandwidth....
See you on sats soon!

Asunto: M2 Leopack 2Meter swr
Recently, I had my roof done and had to remove the M2 Leopack from the mast
together with the G-5500 Az/El. I sat it on the roof floor next to my
house. Now that I place it back, the 2M SWR is way high off the sat or
regular 2m frequencies 440 is as expected.
It is not coax since I tested it with a short piece and analyzer with same
results. I had not check the coax stubs yet and thought to write hear
first. Any hints will be appreciated.
M2 website has a "Blog" which contains only info on Ohm meter testing.
