Call it beacon. Perhaps a beacon more "useful" to amateur radio
operators than some university bird beaconing a 9K6 GMSK stream of
unknown format in the ham bands.

People regularly mix up "broadcasting" with "transmitting" when
discussing ham radio. I'm sure it was just a mistake and not their
intent to suggest this was going to be some sort of broadcast system
intended for a general audience.

As for stored memes/images being transmitted periodically, isn't this

contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The contact will be
direct between NA1SS and W5SO. The contact should be audible over the state
of Texas 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:
Named after a beloved longtime educator and native of Rockwall County, Celia
Hays Elementary School opened in 2007. The school quickly established a
tradition of educational excellence and student leadership.
Currently serving more than 870 students with approximately 70 staff
members, Hays consistently achieves the highest state rating for student
performance as they educate kindergarten through sixth-grade students. As in
past generations, Hays "Huskies" strive to become young people that act on
quality principles for the betterment of their community. The school's
vision is to create a culture of leadership and learning to develop a
child's abilities to become leaders of tomorrow. They cultivate an
environment where students thrive and are excited about learning while
providing a safe and family-oriented atmosphere that is warm and inviting
for students, parents, and staff.
In short, Celia Hays Elementary is committed to academic success and
fostering excellence in all areas by developing, recognizing, and
celebrating the leaders within each student. At Hays...We Lead. We Learn. We
Inspire.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. How often are new supplies sent to the ISS and has your family sent
you anything while you have been on the ISS?
2. What are the best and worst parts of spacewalks?
3. What are some personal items you brought to space and is there
anything you did not bring that you wish you had?
4. When you get back on earth, what will you miss most about the ISS?

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 (STEM)
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.
Thank you & 73,

Bonjour ? tous,
Je suis professeur en coll?ge dans le nord de la France (59) pr?s de
Valenciennes et dans le cadre du projet "Science Coll?ge Nord ?, avec une
classe de 4?me, nous ?tudions la possibilit? pour l?homme d?aller habiter
dans le syst?me solaire.
Les ?l?ves d?couvrent l?histoire de la conqu?te spatiale et les contraintes
de la vie dans l?espace, ils imaginent une ville du futur dans l?espace et
utilisent le th?or?me de Pythagore et la trigonom?trie pour calculer la
distance qui nous s?pare de QO100. Pourquoi QO100? Car pour ma part,
j??tudie avec les ?l?ves les possibilit?s de rester en contact avec de
futurs astronautes dans l?espace.
Dans le cadre de ce projet, je vais donc faire une d?monstration de contact
par QO-100 pour montrer aux ?l?ves les possibilit?s offertes par un
satellite en terme de communication ainsi que les diff?rences de
difficult?s pour communiquer avec un objet en mouvement et un objet fixe
(g?ostationnaire) dans l?espace depuis la Terre. Cette d?monstration mettra
aussi en ?vidence la notion de vitesse de la lumi?re et de distance
? astronomique ? en faisant ? entendre ? aux ?l?ves le d?calage entre un
bip CW envoy? et son retour une fraction de seconde plus tard. De m?me, les
?l?ves ont ?t? sensibilis?s au fonctionnement d?une antenne, le gain, la
polarisation, et au syst?me de propagation des ondes par rebond dans
l?atmosph?re ainsi qu?? l?existence de la ionosph?re.
De plus, les ?l?ves vont suivre une conf?rence du plan?tarium de Villeneuve
d?Ascq concernant les diff?rentes m?thodes pour rester en contact avec des
satellites non g?ostationnaires dans le syst?me solaire.
Je suis donc ? la recherche d?OM/YL qui seraient disponibles le* lundi 2
mars 2020 entre 8H30 et 10H00 Heure d?Europe Centrale
(Paris-Madrid-Bruxelles)* pour me r?pondre sur QO-100 et ayant l?amabilit?
de parler tr?s lentement pour rendre intelligible le QSO pour des ?l?ves
non initi?s ? la radio et au mode USB tout en utilisant le moins possible
le code Q. Le contact peut-?tre report? si les conditions m?t?orologiques
ne nous permettent pas de faire la d?monstration en ext?rieur.
Le but serait de donner des informations sur la personne qui nous appelle,
r?p?ter l?indicatif plusieurs fois, le pr?nom, la ville, le d?partement, le
pays, la m?t?o et les antennes utilis?es lentement. L?objectif est que les
?l?ves comprennent le QSO pour pouvoir prendre des notes et ne pas repartir
en disant ? on a rien compris ?.
Nous sommes ? la recherche de stations partout dans la zone de couverture
du satellite, dans l?id?ale et au minimum, deux stations francophones (une
dans l?h?misph?re nord et une dans l?h?misph?re sud - avis aux FR/FH/FT),
une station anglophone (pour un contact en anglais) et une station
hispanophone (pour un contact en espagnol).
Notre indicatif sera TM20JJR.
Si vous ?tes int?ress?s, n?h?sitez-pas ? rentrer en contact avec moi.
Merci d?avance.

*Hello everyone,*
*I am a teacher in northern France near Valenciennes and in the project
? Sciences Coll?ge Nord ?, with a group of student of 4?me (13-14 years
old), we are studying the possibility for the human being to live in the
solar system.*
*The pupils discover the spatial conquest history and the difficulties to
live in space, they imagine the city of the futur in space and use the
pythagorean theorem and trigonometry to calculate the distance of the
QO-100 satellite from us. Why QO100? Because, at my side, I will study with
the pupils the possibilities to stay in contact with futurs astronauts in
space.*
*This demonstration will show the notion of light speed and astronomical
distance by listening the echo ? bip ? of CW that comes back very quickly
but not immediately. Also, the pupils will have been taught about antenna
way of working, gain, polarisation, waves propagations in the atmopshera
and ionosphere. *
*Also, the pupils will follow a conference about how do we stay in contact
with satellite that are not geostationary. *
*Then, I am looking for an OM/YL who would be free on **monday 2nd of march
2020 between 8H30 and 10H00 central europe time (**Paris-Madrid-Brussels)
to answer me on QO-100 and who will be kind to talk very slowly to make
understandable the QSO for non initiated pupils to radio and USB mode and
using as less as possible the Q code. The contact can be delayed to another
day if the weather conditions are not good enough to make the demonstration
outside of the school building.*
*The main goal will be to give information about the calling station,
repeating several times the callsign, the name, the city, the **region, the
country, the weather conditions and the antennas used very slowly. The more
important is that the pupils understand the QSO in order to take notes
and **avoiding
that they** come back home saying **? **we did not understand anything** ?*
*.*
*We are looking for amateur radio stations in the coverage zone of the
satellite, the best and minimum would be 2 french speaking station (on the
in the northern hemisphere and one in the southern hemisphere - special
call to FR/FH/FT), one english speaking station (for a QSO in english) and
a s**panish** speaking station (for a QSO in spanish).*
*Our callsign will be TM20JJR *
*If you are **interested, please feel free to contact me.*

*Buenos d?as a todos,*
*Soy profesor en el norte de Francia cerca de Valenciennes y en el marco
del proyecto ? Sciences Coll?ge Nord ?, con un grupo de estudiantes de 4?me
(entre 13 y 14 a?os), estamos estudiando la posibilidad para el ser humano
de poder vivir en el sistema solar.*
*Los **alumnos descubren la historia de la conquista espacial y las
dificultades que se presentan a la hora de vivir en el espacio; ellos
imaginan una ciudad del futuro en el espacio y utilizan el teorema de
Pit?goras as? como la trigonometr?a para calcular la distancia entre
el sat?lite QO-100 y nosotros. ?Por qu? QO-100? Porque, por mi parte,
estudio con los alumnos las posibilidades de quedarse en contacto con
futuros astronautas en el espacio.*
*La demostraci?n delante de los alumnos permitir? ense?arles la noci?n de
la velocidad de la luz escuchando el eco del ? **bip** ?** de CW que vuelve
muy r?pidamente sin ser inmediato. Tambi?n, los alumnos han descubierto el
funcionamiento de las antenas, la ganancia, la polarizaci?n, la propagaci?n
de las ondes en la **atm?sfera y la ion?sfera.*
*Adem?s, los alumnos asistir?n a un conferencia acerca de la comunicaciones
espaciales con sat?lites que non son geoestacionarios. *
*As? que, estoy buscando un OM/ una YL que estar?a disponible el lunes 2 de
marzo de 2020 entre 8H30 y 10H00 hora de europa central
(Par?s-Madrid-Bruselas) para contestarme en QO-100 y que tendr?a la
amabilidad de hablar muy lentamente para hacer entendible el QSO para
alumnos que no son iniciados a la radio y menos al modo USB, utilizando el
menos posible el c?digo Q. Por si acaso las condiciones meteorol?gicas no
nos permiten hacer la demostraci?n en el patio de recreo, aplazaremos la
fecha del contacto.*
*La meta principal ser?a dar informaciones acerca de la estaci?n que nos
estar?a llamando, repetir varias veces el indicativo, el nombre, la ciudad,
la regi?n, el pa?s, las condiciones meteorol?gicas y las antenas
utilizadas. Lo **m?s** importante es que los **alumnos** entiendan el QSO
para que puedan apuntar datos y sobre todo que no vuelvan a casa diciendo *
*? ** no entendimos nada** ?** .*
*Estamos buscando radioaficionados en la zona de cobertura del sat?lite, lo
mejor y el m?nimo ser?a 2 estaciones francesas (una en el hemisferio norte
y otra en el **hemisferio** sur - llamada especial a los FR/FH/FT), una *
*estaci?n **angl?fona (para un QSO en ingl?s) y una estaci?n
hispanohablante (para un QSO en castellano).*
*Nuestro indicativo ser? TM20JJR.*
*Si os interesa la idea, no dud?is en contactarme.*

Boomers are highly active users and creators of Meme content more so than
millennials at times. This isn't a generational issue.
If you Google ham radio memes. You'll see several examples that were
clearly made by the older set
Let's look at it this way
20 years ago people sent the same dumb chain email
50 years ago everyone called prank phone called people with the same dumb
"is your refrigerator running" calls
These would be considered memes with the available technology
Heck even looking at QSL cards of yore there are early examples of what
would be a MEME today.
My QSL is based off an internet MEME
Check it out. It's pretty cool
https://photos.app.goo.gl/jcpCMMtFPMkPUARu7
You say the problem with the satellite is that you never understood the
meme stuff
That sounds like a U problem and not a AMSAT or a HAM problem.
I'm eager to get these kids motivated on amateur radio so that our average
age goes down from 80 (yes that is a factual statement)

Subject: [amsat-bb] FoxTelem Bug Fix Release for HuskySat reception
Version 1.08z3
Message-ID:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"
I am releasing an update to FoxTelem 1.08 that fixes critical bugs in the
reception of HuskySat data. Everyone receiving data from HuskySat should
upgrade. Without this version your local data is not stored
correctly (although the data sent to the server is fine).
This also fixes an issue with displaying graphs that have multiple
variables when the "show sun" option is selected. HuskySat is almost
continually in sun, so this feature is needed to analyze the heating and
cooling. To "show sun" on a graph you need to enable "Fox Telem Calculates
Positions" on the settings tab. Then check the box below the graph. It
works best when the graph is "continuous". FoxTelem defaults to plotting
the received chunks of data and not the empty spaces in between passes.
Continuous will plot those empty spaces and allows sun/eclipse to be seen
better, though this can be a difficult setting with home data, where you
have such short chunks.
You can download the release here:

I have to agree that making the hobby something that (young)?people can
identify with will tend to draw them to it.
One of the first aspects of amateur radio that actually caught my interest
was rtty art on a Saturday morning net in the ?70s. I remember the USS
Enterprise, cartoon characters, Cheryl Tiegs...?a good number of things a
teen would be interested in.?Dad sitting in the corner listening to a
squawking radio that never seemed to be tuned in (to my ears)...? Not so
interesting.
I?m sure kids today are of a similar mind.

Sorry to say it, but if you want a sure-fire way to get younger people (and
I'm one of them) interested in learning about radio equipment and satellite
communications, this is probably one of the best ways to do it.
It's not going to be any worse than what seems to get fired around via SSTV
on the HF bands...
