On January 30th at noon, AMSAT ARGENTINA launched the NEMO-1 buoy into the
Atlantic sea, callsign LU7AA. It was transported 70 km east of Mar del Plata
by the fisherman's ship 'Porte?o', from Sandokan.
The buoy, which emits in WSPR mode at 14095.6 KHz and FM VHF in APRS mode,
navigated drifting free for 12 days traveling about 1100 kilometers, until
on February 11th it was sighted and taken out of the water by the tuna
vessel 'Juan Pablo II'.
The captain of the ship, Rinaldi Yaco, considered that the buoy was sailing
semi-sunk and decided to rescue it, informing Amsat Argentina of that event.
The NEMO-1 then traveled eight more days aboard the tuna vessel, continuing
its mission of data capture and broadcasting, until on Feb-19 it arrived at
the port of Mar del Plata, where colleagues from the Mar del Plata Radio
Club picked it up and kept in custody.
A group of AMSAT-LU is traveling to recover NEMO-1. The buoy will be
reconditioned and a new launch is planned. It will be tried to take it, on
this occasion, to more than 200 km offshore, so that it will continue to
navigate freely, reaffirming the commitment and contribution of radio
amateurs to QRPp propagation research also helping navigation and the
community.
AMSAT ARGENTINA especially thanks the Captains and crews of the 'Porte?o',
the 'Juan Pablo II' ships and the Mar del Plata RClub in the persons of its
Secretary, Jose Luis Hermida (LU9DHJ) and Jorge Garelli (LU5EOR) for the
help provided and to the more than 100 'travelers' in NEMO-1, who supported
this project helping to carry it out. http://amsat.org.ar?f=ce

Thanks, AMSAT, for the supporting info you provided regarding the just
completed pass of the ISS. A crew member spoke to a school in Ohio.
I am at FM14 in N.Carolina and latched onto full throated signal right
after AOS time locally, 2 minutes after AOS in Ohio.
I had squelch at zero and when crew spoke all was clear, then static as the
next question was asked on the uplink, then the clear answer on the
downlink. I don't think we are supposed to hear uplink? I recorded the
entire pass from local AOS until signoff at end.
My antenna is a homemade 2 element hand-held yagi with #6 copper wire for
elements. (WA5VJB designed)
Radio connected to yagi was Baofeng UV5R, $20.
A second Baofeng UV5R with factory duck antenna was in my other hand.
I alternated between radios held near my recorder and there was no
difference between the two receiving methods.
Clear speech in both radios.
I have not put any analysis on my yagi, so it could be poorly matched
thereby explaining its performance equal to duckie antenna.
All in all, very excited to have experienced the ISS session.
Thanks again.
If any info needed or the recorded audio, let me know.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"
I've been a CW op since 1957, though I am a relative newbie on satellites
(6 weeks now). Hasan has helped me realize how little uplink power is
needed for successful contacts. (Translation = I was using too much power
the first week or so.) Part of the problem was inexperience. Another
factor, however, was my shiny new Icom 9700, which controls output with a
knob and "percentage" indications. What does 10% output mean, actually? I
hooked up my Bird wattmeter to find out. On 2M, percentages corresponded
pretty much with output. 5% = 4W, 50% = 48W. But on 70 cm, percentages do
not correspond, given less reduced output to begin with. Here, for
instance, 5% = 2W. Also, realize that you're still putting out power at
0%! 900mW on 2M, it turns out to be, 100 mW or so on 70 cm. The latter
explains why I've made contacts with power supposedly cranked all the way
down to zero. I operate U/V, by the way. I calculate that I have 9 dB
gain with my Cushcraft A449-6S, 33 feet of LMR 400, and three lossy UHF
connectors. This means, on uplink on 70 cm, 0% = 800 mW ERP, 3% = 8W, 5% =
16W, 7% = 24W, 10% = 48W, and 20% = 80W. Bottom line is that I have no
trouble making Mode B contacts with the knob on the 9700 set at somewhere
between 0% and 7%, and usually at the lower end of that range. Hopefully
this information is of help to other CW ops, especially new ones with
9700s. Keep a hand on or near that power output knob, reducing power when
not needed and especially when your waterfall is looking as strong as the
beacon waterfall. Other ops in the bandpass will appreciate this courtesy.

I also listened in today. The signal from the ISS is generally strong enough
that a rubber duckie will do the trick. I use my Arrow antenna since my HT
is already hooked up to it.
The uplink frequency is known only to the operator at the school. No sense
in tempting others to try the frequency and screw it up for the school kids.

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.??

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.

Husysat-1 just passed over VK with 16 degree elevation pass.
10 second bursts of telemetry at 2minute 15 second intervals.
Not sure what that means in terms of operation.

Colin,
Many thanks for the report and please keep providing telemetry. In the
current phase of the mission the spacecraft only needs to down-link science
telemetry when over the University of Washington, so it may sometimes be in
safe mode for the rest of an orbit. But the health telemetry packets from
safe mode are very important for monitoring the spacecraft, so please keep
sending them in.

Colin,
The satellite is currently in safe mode. The HuskySat-1 team has been
providing updates on their operations the past couple of days on their
Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/pg/UWCubeSat/posts/
You should not need a Facebook account to view that link.
73,

The unique thing about this sat is people will be able to submit
"meme" images which it will downlink on 70cms. Common memes are images
with some humorous text overlayed which are shared on social media..
They are especially popular with younger generations so I think this
is a good way to get that segment of the population interested in ham
radio.
