I hope this is an ok question for the AMSAT-BB.
I want to use WSJT-X with my IC-9700. What audio interface cable is
suggested for use with a PC?
This is what I've found so far: XGGCOMMS Digimode-3-Icom

Hi Bob,
As long as you shutdown SatPC32 before launching WSJT, it'll work fine!
Using the USB cable only with WSJT, it can carry the audio (both xmit and
recv) AND the CAT control to put the rig on frequency/mode, etc. It's
quite slick :)

Amateur Radio on the International Space Station?
?
Contact Opportunity?
?
Call for Proposals?
?
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 is happy to announce a 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 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.??

guidelines and proposal form, and dates and times of Information Webinars,

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
more information, see www.ariss.org.

News from ARRL.org:
On a 9 ? 6 vote, the Board voted not to re-elect Howard Michel, WB2ITX, as
Chief Executive Officer. Michel was in the post for 15 months. Former ARRL
Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer Barry Shelley, N1VXY,
has come out of retirement to serve as interim ARRL CEO. He also was elected
as Secretary. Shelley was ARRL?s CFO for 28 years and served as CEO during
2018 before his retirement, following the departure of former CEO Tom
Gallagher, NY2RF. The ARRL Board has appointed a committee to spearhead the
search for a new CEO. That panel will screen suitable CEO candidates,
presenting three to the Board for consideration.
No news on who serves on the "committee to spearhead the search for a new

Using duplexers like this works very well, if they are good duplexers, like
the Comet. I use them all over the place as filters.
I have tested them at 80w output on 70cm with a 2m ARR Gasfet preamp ahead
of a FunCube Pro + Dongle. Works perfectly and NO intermod, NO desense.
They are an ideal solution to full duplex operations at a very reasonable
cost.
I have tested them on an interlaced yagi (with single feedpoint at the
yagi) 5 EL on 2m, 8 EL on 70cm, fed with 65' of 1/2" hardline (duplexer in
shack), as well as a pair of M2 EggBeaters 7' off the ground fed with 80'
of LMR-400. Duplexers at each end.
Performance:
Usable satellite signals at -0.5 deg EL on the tower antenna. No desense,
no intermod. SNR 10 dB, Q5 SSB copy both ways. Repeatable.
If that isn't ideal, I have no idea what is.
