A quick addition to Chris' announcement. This version of FoxTelem has been
tested on Fox-in-a-Box installations (that is, FoxTelem running on a
Raspberry Pi). Starting immediately, (serial number 110) V1.08p will be on
the SD card that you order from the AMSAT store. (It is not yet on the
download file.)
If you have a Fox-in-a-Box with an older version and you wish to upgrade it
(highly recommended), just download
http://amsat.us/FoxTelem/linux/FoxTelem_1.08p_linux.tar.gz to the Desktop
using the browser on your FIAB and double click it to extract a directory
(folder) named FoxTelem_1.08p_linux. Now stop the running FoxTelem and
edit the file on your desktop called StartFoxTelem (right click and choose
Text Editor). On about the third line from the bottom change
"foxtelem_1.07_linux" to "FoxTelem_1.08p_linux" (be sure to get the capital
letters right). Exit from the editor and double click on StartFoxTelem and
then chose "Execute". The new FoxTelem will start running, and as
described in the manual you will start getting questions about whether you
want to upgrade things. Say yes to each question. After FoxTelem has
started successfully, you should be all set, and FoxTelem should start
automatically every time your reboot.
If you have any issues, please let me know. wb1fj@?????.???

Burns

An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at Golden Oak Montessori, Castro Valley, CA
on 28 Oct. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 15:50 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 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.

Story:
Golden Oak Montessori is a free public charter school in the Hayward Unified
School District located in the heart of the San Francisco East Bay. Our
school has an incredibly diverse population of nearly 275 students in grades
1-8 (ages 6-14). Approximately 20% of students qualify as socioeconomically
disadvantaged with several students participating in Migrant Education
programs. More than 18 languages are spoken by our Golden Oak Montessori
families with a number of students qualifying as English language learners.
As a Montessori school, a key component of our curriculum includes hands-on
materials and experiential learning opportunities designed to stimulate
academic exploration with a goal of educating children to be active, aware
citizens with the skills and knowledge to participate meaningfully in the
diverse and challenging new century. A cornerstone of our science curriculum
are students doing hands on experiments using Full Option Science System
kits from the Lawrence Livermore Labs, and Engineering is Elemental kits
from the Museum of Science in Boston. In addition, students have had recent
experiences building Solar Suitcases through a grant from Pacific Gas and
Electric (PG&E), researching marine ecosystems along the California coast,
working on a farm to learn about agro-science, and hiking local trails to
learn about watershed environments.
To date Golden Oak Montessori's experiential learning has focused on
terrestrial systems that student can see and touch, which why our whole
school community is very excited to have an opportunity to shift our focus
further out into space with an ARISS radio contact experience. This will
take our student's STEM opportunities in a new and exciting direction which
we hope will stimulate both our student's and teacher's scientific
imaginations even further!
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. Who chooses who gets to be in the International Space Station?
2. What qualifications are needed to become an astronaut like going to
a special school or experience flying fast planes?
3. Since you have many people from different countries on the ISS, what
language do you speak to communicate with one another?
4. How many people are on the space station at one time and do you ever
feel crowded?
5. What is the daily routine for an astronaut on the ISS?
6. What does Earth look like from outer space?
7. Has the ISS ever broken down? And what do you do if that happens?
8. Can you grow plants in space and do they grow normally?
9. What does it feel like to be with no gravity?
10. Do you have free time with the other astronauts to play board games
or other fun things in space?
11. Can you communicate with your family when you are in space?
12. Which is scarier - take off or landing?
13. What do you do if you get sick in space?
14. What are the roles of the people working on the space station? How
does each person get their work plan?
15. How has your understanding of the universe changed since seeing it
from space?
16. What are the best foods you eat in space, and what are the worst?
17. What was the coolest thing that you've ever seen or done since
you've been on the ISS?
18. What do you miss the most from Earth?
19. How many sunrises and sunsets do you see each day in space?
20. Why is it cold in space even though the sun is out all the time?
21. How do you breathe in a space suit?
22. What is the best part about being an astronaut and what is the

Story:
Built in 1896, Vermont Elementary School is a traditional calendar school,
located in South Los Angeles. Our Community is comprised of a majority of
lower social-economic, working class families. It is also representative of
a diverse ethnic population. The student body is comprised of 623 students
in grades Pre-Kindergarten through fifth. Vermont's ethnic population
includes 90.01% Hispanic, 8.6% African American, 1.2% White, and 0.5% Asian.
Of these students, 44.5% are English Language Learners (ELL). 100% of our
students receive free or reduced price meals. The average class size in
grades Kindergarten through second is 24:1 and 30:1 in grades four through
five (student to teacher ratio). The principal, Patricia Ferguson says "I
have the best students". At Vermont, we pride ourselves on fostering a
strong sense of community and reinforcing the values of our students and
their families through our educational philosophy. Our parents are very
supportive and appreciative of the resou
rces and opportunities that its community partners like the University of
Southern California (USC) provides for our students. In recent years,
students have voiced their increasing sense of inclusion and support from
our outstanding teachers and staff, and many of our students have gone on to
lead significant community outreach efforts of their own, including working
with the USC Young Scientists Program (YSP).
The USC Young Scientists Program (YSP) supports Vermont Avenue Elementary
School as a partner by providing a supplemental STEAM education program to
second through fifth grade classrooms, in conjunction with their classroom
teachers. The YSP and Vermont Elementary have enjoyed a fruitful
collaborative relationship over the last 10 years, and a number of current
YSP undergraduate teaching staff members have attended the school
themselves. In this way, the YSP looks to give back to the community from
which its own leadership and inspiration has come from, and seeks to provide
students with diverse role models within STEAM fields as a way to encourage
greater representation of underrepresented minority (URM) students in these
professions.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. How long does it take to get back to Earth?
2. What encouraged you to be a scientist?
3. How does it feel to be in space?
4. What do you do in space when there's danger?
5. Do you celebrate any holidays up in space?
6. What did you study when you were growing up?
7. What do you need to be worried or alert about when on a spaceship?
8. What are the most important jobs in the space station?
9. Do the astronauts at the ISS get older faster or slower, or is aging
the same?
10. How do you communicate with your family, and do you ever miss them?
11. How do you sleep, and in what do you sleep?
12. When you were young, did you want to be an astronaut?
13. How did you become an astronaut?
14. What do you do when you take a break in space?
15. Can you do your work in space without your work floating away?
16. Who would you thank for helping you to accomplish your dreams?
17. How do you get ready to go into space?
18. How is it that you guys get your food supply?
19. Is it dangerous to flip upside down after you are finished eating?
20. How did you feel saying goodbye to your family and boarding the
space station?

Has a "Rover FAQ" been developed as a way to help perspective rovers? A
couple of questions come to mind (i.e. not meant to be all inclusive, rather
a starting point):
Q: How close does one need to be to a "grid line" for the location to count
as two Grids?
Q: How close does one need to be at the intersection of four grids for the
location to count as four Grids?
Q: How to log roving in ARRL's LOTW? Does each grid location need an entry
in TQSL?
Q: Is there a listing of the "Rare grids"? Particularly for the south west?
I am sure there are many other questions related to roving.

Tom,
There is not an AMSAT Rover FAQ:
To answer your questions:
Per ARRL VHF/UHF Century Club Award Rules, paragraphs 4(e) and 4(f) stations
who claim to operate from more than one grid locator simultaneously need to
be exactly on the line or grid corner and document with a picture showing
your equipment and a GPS displaying your location exactly on the line or
corner and a GPS error no more than 20 feet.? See
https://www.arrl.org/files/file/Awards%20Application%20Forms/VUCCRULE1a.pdf
for further information.
Logging contacts in LOTW requires you to create a new Station Location in
TQSL, just like you did creating your home location.? If you operate from a
grid line, enter your grid as grid,grid (i.e. EM70,EM71).? Do no put a space
after the comma.? A grid corner would be grid,grid,grid,grid (i.e.
EM70,EM71,EM80,EM81).
While there is no "Most Wanted" list for rare grids, KE0PBR hosts an account
on Twitter called @?????????????????.? Look at the most recently posted map
to see what percentage of the participating operators have for each grid.?

An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at Farmwell Station Middle School Space Dreamers, Ashburn, VA
on 29 Oct. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 15:01 UTC. The
duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The
contact will be direct between NA1SS and K4LRG. The contact should be
audible over the state of Virginia and adjacent areas. Interested parties
are invited to listen in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. The contact is expected
to be conducted in English.
Story:
Farmwell Station Middle School is a public school located in the suburbs of
Ashburn, Virginia close to our nation's capital. Our school has a diverse
population attracted by a variety of work opportunities in the area. We have
1,186 students who attend and are in sixth through eighth grade. The native
languages spoken by our students include English, French, German, Spanish,
Urdu, Farsi, Mandarin, Korean, Hindi, Dari and Arabic. Our cluster schools
(elementary and high) are going to be participating in this contact, so that
we can include as many students as possible for this experience.
The mission of Loudoun County Public Schools is "Empowering all students to
make meaningful contributions to the world." Our school is committed to
building a culture of continuous improvement by developing strong
partnerships with families and our community. Our goal is to develop
knowledgeable critical thinkers, communicators, collaborators, creators, and
contributors through a series of rich learning experiences that are
connected to the real world.
Through this contact we want to raise awareness for STEM subjects and bring
them alive for our students by investigating various topics dealing with
space exploration, research, and communication technologies. We have a
Space Dreamers Student Ambassadors Club here at Farmwell Station Middle
School. The club's goal is to provide an ongoing opportunities for students
to share knowledge and information with other students in their school about
space science. Ambassadors will help plan events or activities such as
rocket launches, the Tomatosphere project, and field trips. Our school
purchased an ISS Above to provide our students with the opportunity to watch
the live feed as they eat lunch.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. Can you grow plants in space?
2. Did you bring anything to remind you of home with you to Space?
3. At the start of the 19th century, how were pigeons used in the early
form of remote sensing?
4. Do you believe that we can create Faster Than Light travel?
5. How does the oxygen in the space suit work?
6. How is the technology from other fields of science creating
engineering to make it safer for the astronauts?
7. When you're in space, how do you go places you want without floating
in the opposite direction?
8. How do you conduct experiments that test how physical laws are
different in a low gravity state?
9. Do you have any way to know where you are in space such as
landmarks?
10. What improvements have you made in biotech engineering on making a
sustainable environment?
11. Do microgravity tests and examines on astronauts play a key role in
shaping longer and safer future missions?(Astronauts from the ISS
get examined to see if the insides of their bodies have changed or
how the body works while they are in microgravity.)
12. Has being on the ISS changed your perspective on earth?
13. When did you develop your passion for science and career as an
astronaut?
14. What is the most important and current experiment you are working
on in space right now?
15. How often do you have to make repairs on the International Space
Station?
16. How the images of unknown areas differ based on the camera angle
and how do you identify the type of organisms and other new-found
things?
17. Does space radiation affect you in any way?

Message to US Educators?
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station?
Contact Opportunity?
?
Call for Proposals?
New Proposal Window is October 1, 2019 to November 30, 2019?
?
The Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) Program is
seeking formal and informal education institutions and organizations,
individually or working together, to host an Amateur Radio contact with a
crew member on board the ISS.? ARISS anticipates that the contact would be
held between July 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020. Crew scheduling and ISS
orbits will determine the exact contact dates. To maximize these radio
contact opportunities, ARISS is looking for organizations that will draw
large numbers of participants and integrate the contact into a
well-developed education plan.?
?
The deadline to submit a proposal is November 30, 2019.? Proposal
information and documents can be found at https://www.ariss.org.?
?
The Opportunity?
?
Crew members aboard the International Space Station will participate in
scheduled Amateur Radio contacts. These radio contacts are approximately 10
minutes in length and allow students to interact with the astronauts through
a question-and-answer session.?
?
An ARISS contact is a voice-only communication opportunity via Amateur Radio
between astronauts and cosmonauts aboard the space station and classrooms
and communities. ARISS contacts afford education audiences the opportunity
to learn firsthand from astronauts what it is like to live and work in space
and to learn about space research conducted on the ISS. Students also will
have an opportunity to learn about satellite communication, wireless
technology, and radio science. Because of the nature of human spaceflight
and the complexity of scheduling activities aboard the ISS, organizations
must demonstrate flexibility to accommodate changes in dates and times of
the radio contact.?
?
Amateur Radio organizations around the world with the support of NASA and
space agencies in Russia, Canada, Japan and Europe present educational
organizations with this opportunity. The ham radio organizations' volunteer
efforts provide the equipment and operational support to enable
communication between crew on the ISS and students around the world using
Amateur Radio.??
