Thats interesting if thats the case that they arent making preamps anymore.
I ordered two of their Mast mounted 160W preamps 5 months ago. It took a
month to get them. They told me when I ordered that it would be a good
while before I got them because they did not have the parts in stock for
them to make them due to their supplier "being back logged". I have them
and are very happy with them they work very well but they are not cheap
like all other pre amps out there. Maybe someone out their can confirm for
sure they dont make them anymore?

I think the solution for issues like this is the next time Eric does an
update to the software, that he changes the Dot X or the letter. In this
case that change For now 24 says, should probably have made the software
12.8a since that software iteration also included support for the FT 991
series of radios.

His software is really good and his support is incredible, especially in
dealing with older radios so I?m not knocking anything.

?

Call for Proposals?

?

Current Proposal Window is October 1, 2019 to November 30, 2019

?

Upcoming Proposal Window is February 1, 2020 to March 31, 2020?

?

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 for
proposals submitted in the proposal window now open would be held between
July 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020.? ARISS is happy to announce a second
proposal window will open February 1, 2020 for contacts that would be held
between January 1, 2021 and June 30, 2021. 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 proposals for contacts between July 1, 2020 and
December 31, 2020 is November 30, 2019.? The proposal window for contacts
between January 1, 2021 and June 30, 2021 will open on February 1, 2020 and
close on March 31, 2020.? Proposal information and documents can be found at
www.ariss.org. Two ARISS Introductory Webinar sessions will be held on
November 7, 2019. The first is at 6:00 PM ET and the second is at 9:00 PM
ET. The same material will be covered during both sessions, so choose the
session that best fits your schedule. The Eventbrite link to sign up
is?https://ariss-introductory-webinar-fall-2019.eventbrite.com?.

?

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.??

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 (STEAM)
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

Hi,
I constantly make corrections and minor or major changes to the program,
mostly at the suggestions of users. Since the version update from 12.8c
to 12.8d (December 2017) these are mainly the support of the FT-991/991,
the extension to 24 satellites and the support of the IC-9700. Since an
update of the version number causes considerable additional work, I did
not increase the version number in these cases, but simply uploaded new
setup files with the changed or newly added files. On my website I
mention the date on which the last setup file was uploaded. So the user
sees if he already has the last release. In the future, I will also
mention for major changes what they refer to. Many innovations, however,
can no longer be expected.
73s, Erich, DK1TB
