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.

*Subject:* APRS test using LoRa via QO-100 (geo bird over Europe)
Andy, OE3DMB reports his APRS experiments using the geostationary AMSAT,
QO-100 (Es?hail 2) over Europe. It is not visible from the USA, but is a
nice experiment for the Eastern Hemisphere. He uses a rooftop mobile omni
antenna and 20W uplink on 2.4 GHz.
I have added it to the APRS Satellite page: http://aprs.org/sats.html

Message-ID: <fd90292a29f26c6889bbb561adf94dee@????.?????.???>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"
Well, 4 days from Shipping PSAT3 to Kodiak for launch, the launch has been
canceled.
The launch was part of the DARPA LAUNCH CHALLENGE:
https://darpalaunchchallenge.org/index.html
The challenege (and $10m prize) was for any launch provider to deliver a
rocket with only 30 days notice of what payloads they would have and where
they would launch from. And then to do it again only 30 days later. We
were on the second launch.
But on 2 March the third attempt by the launch provider was scrubbed at
T-9 minutes and was not resolved until the launch window (and DARPA
challenge deadline) had passed. Therefore the CHALLENGE is over, there
was no winner, and we lost the launch.
So, if anyone hears of a rocket that needs a CUBESAT PPOD backup
replacement, we have one:

And I get my life (nights and weekends) back!

AMSAT will be supporting the University of Arizona's K7UAZ radio club
during the ScienceCity science fair on 14-15 March 2020 (a Saturday and
Sunday). ScienceCity will be on the University of Arizona campus in
Tucson, Arizona. This science fair is supported by several
organizations at the university, and runs in conjunction with the
Tucson Festival of Books that will also take place that weekend. More
information about ScienceCity is available at:
http://sciencecity.arizona.edu/
Information about the K7UAZ radio club is available at:
http://k7uaz.com/
The K7UAZ radio club will have a booth in the "Science of Everyday
Life" area at ScienceCity. This booth will showcase different facets
of amateur radio, including amateur satellites. WD9EWK, and possibly
other call signs, should be heard during demonstrations of satellite
operating taking place at ScienceCity. If you hear us, please call
and be a part of the demonstrations. The University of Arizona campus
is in grid DM42, in Arizona's Pima County. QSLing will be determined
by the call sign used for QSOs. For WD9EWK, I will upload my log to
Logbook of the World, and will be happy to send QSL cards on request
(please e-mail me the QSO details - no card or SASE is required to get
my card). K7UAZ will confirm QSOs by QSL card, following instructions
posted on QRZ.com.
During the weekend, I will use my @?????? Twitter account to post
updates from ScienceCity. If you do not use Twitter, you can view these
updates in a web browser without having a Twitter account at:

Thanks, and 73!

The awesome little "Cheap Yagis"
https://www.wa5vjb.com/yagi-pdf/cheapyagi.pdf
Has anyone modified the 144 Mhz one up higher in the band for Sat work,
AND
has anyone taken the VHF and the UHF versions and put them on a single
hand held boom?
Elements in line or at right angles?

The elements should be coplanar, for several reasons, but that is a
secondary consideration for the FM birds at least. - Duffey

These designs work great. I built the 1.2 ghz version off of these plans
and mounted it on my tripod with my Arrow antenna. Scott, KA7FVV
