One other point about FalconSat-3, is that you probably did hear it
(435.103 MHz) - but since it's 9600 packet, it sounds just like noise! I
essentially just trust my S-meter to tell me when I'm receiving it (that
and my TNC starts spitting out coherent gibberish - and occasionally an
APRS packet).

There are few other on-line resources if your tastes and preferences
take you toward Facebook and Twitter where thousands follow the
satellite world (for example - ~14K following on Twitter). Just search
for AMSAT on these media.
Also there is an AMSAT talkgroup on Brandmeister DMR (TG 98006) where
the QSOs range from what's for dinner, who's roaming, how to get on a
satellite, balloon launch preps, satellites, on-air testing of rigs.
And this here, amsat-bb has been the original forum for decades.
Hope this gives some more options ...

Good afternoon all.
I had some luck with my win 7 laptop in getting telemetry of the birds
with Foxtelem. So I know the ic-9100 is working the way it should do.
My issue is, I'm trying to use a win 10 desktop to get the telemetry &
I'm having no luck. (I hate windows 10 at times)
The Radio & antenna controller are on a different computer.
I have a Dell Vostro 3470, win 10 Pro.
Tried to use internal sound card, both on Mic & Line in, external usb
sound card, piping through VB cable virtual audio device.
All bit rates are set to 48000 (2 channel DVD).
When I use the test file on Foxtelem, the sound wave doesn't go across
the screen, it stays on the left hand side of the screen.
As an experiment I made a dual feed for the discriminator out on the
IC-9100, plugged on into the dell, the other in my win7 & got telemetry.
Running 1.08y Foxelem, as that's the version I go working with in 7, I
have tryied DUV & Costasvwith the win 10 machine.
Any one have any ideas?

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.??

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at Maple Dale Elementary School, Cincinnati, OH on 20 Feb The
event is scheduled to begin at approximately 18:20 UTC. The duration of the
contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The contact will be
direct between NA1SS and K8SCH. The contact should be audible over the state
of Ohio 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.
Watch for live stream at https://facebook.com/ohkyinars
Story:
Maple Dale Elementary, the contact host school, is one of four elementary
schools in the Sycamore School district - a top ten district in Ohio.
Sycamore students are the Aviators and aim high to better their community.
Each student has opportunities to build relationships and embrace diversity.
Our students standout amongst their peers, are leaders and conscientious
citizens, ready to chart the course for the future.
Embracing technology and innovation is at the very core of Maple Dale. A
STEAM Aviation bus travels from school to school teaching lessons on various
topics. The school is also preparing for the future today with a geothermal
heating/cooling system, energy efficient lighting, and improved learning
spaces and technology.
The district, like the ISS, is the product of multinational collaboration
and innovation. Sycamore is comprised of students from 40 countries and
speak 40 different languages. Maple Dale celebrates its diversity with a
Cultural Heritage night event each year where students taste ethnic foods
and learn about our global neighborhood.
Interestingly, the Blue Ash-Montgomery city border cuts through the middle
of Maple Dale; down the kitchen, through the media center and dividing the
kindergarten wing in half. This is the only school in the district with a
municipality division and the only elementary school that serves students in
both cities. Now Maple Dale will connect its students to the ISS for an
out-of-this world experience.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. What thing is really easy to do on Earth, but really hard in space?
2. What would happen if someone got really seriously sick on the ISS?
3. How heavy are the spacesuits and helmet if weighed on EARTH vs in Space?
4. What is your favorite project to work on so far?
5. What would happen if you lit a fire on the International Space Station?
6. How do you dodge things in space so you don't crush them, for example, a
planet?
7. How do you stay safe when there is an emergency?
8. What kind of experiments are you currently doing?
9. How do you have a sustainable supply of food?
10. How do you pass the time in space?
11. What happens when you are allergic to something from the supply ship?
12. What would happen if someone's suit broke while they were in space?
13. What is the hardest thing about living on the International Space Station?
14. Do you ever get sick in space?
15. What if there were more than 6 people on the International Space Station?
16. What do you do if you're not holding onto anything and you get pushed?
17. What things can the robot do?
18. How does it feel to be away from your family and friends?
19. What's the hardest thing about eating in space?
20. What kind of things do you like to do during your free time when you are
not working on the ISS?

Hi,
Oddly enough, the orbit that began around 18:08 UTC (at least for FN41 in
New England) was silent for most of the pass (as in no telemetry).
Around 18:12:40, when the bird was almost at the point of closest approach
I heard the beacon turn on, send out perhaps a frame or two, then some sync
tones, then the beacon went away. I did listen to the inverting repeater
band to see if I heard anyone using the transponder, and it was quiet.
I am assuming someone is commanding the bird from the ground and doing some
testing, but it was real odd not to have the beacon on for this pass. What
frames I've decoded today are already in the data warehouse.

HI Bob, sounds like they (UW students) commanded it into SAFE mode. Watch
the telemetry, it'll tell you...TX off, then TX ON to send a few frames,
then OFF a couple minutes....repeat. Sounds like a Fox-family member
indeed!

Latest telemetry captures here in FN41 show power output at 16.1 mw, and PA
Current at 34.5 ma. Sure hope it has been commanded into a low power state
(if that is possible). That -10 dB power drop pretty much puts the signal
right into the noise floor. Only copied 3 frames on a 46 degree pass at
17:40 UTC. Two weeks ago it would have been 30+ frames
Not complaining, just observing.
