Ok, I understand: Time change not an issue. Computer clock not an issue.
Other birds besides HuskySat not an issue. HuskySat is a special case
because of a workaround in FoxTelem for the way that the time works on HS-1.
But please do let us know just what is the symptom? Are your packets from
HuskySat not showing up on the leaderboard? Also, what is the latest time
(Realtime: resets/seconds) shown for HuskySat on your system? What is the
Groundstation name that you are using (in FoxTelem preferences)? The
latter is so Chris can look up the packets you have sent in if we can't
figure it out otherwise.
Thanks and 73,
Burns WB1FJ

There was an article written several years about feeding the cable off the
end of a CP antenna versus running the cable up the boom the center with the
results. Does anybody recall what edition of the Amsat Journal this was
published?
I am looking to forward this is to new satellite operator to help with his
decision. I spent 4 hours looking for that article and came up empty.
Thanks in advance,

Hi.
Last week, I mentioned AMSAT would be supporting the K7UAZ radio club's
presence at the ScienceCity science fair next weekend (Saturday and
Sunday, 14-15 March 2020) on the campus of the University of Arizona in
Tucson. I have just received a notice that ScienceCity has been
cancelled, due to the COVID-19 (coronavirus) situation.

I love it when I'm reading a random article and ARISS is mentioned.
"The observatory has long worked to share its scientific and
engineering expertise with local schools, a partnership that has paid
off most recently with the announcement that the Green Bank
Elementary-Middle School was one of 10 schools nationwide selected to
host HAM radio contacts with International Space Station crew members
later this year."
The text in the article also links to an ARRL page about the selected schools:

Hi!
Although my planned trip to Tucson for the ScienceCity science fair
next weekend has been cancelled, my plans to operate from the
DM51/DM52 grid boundary in southeastern Arizona on Friday (13 March
2020) are unchanged. I still plan on making the drive to that grid

?
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: [amsat-bb] AO-92 L band on the weekends
Message-ID: <C338F1D0-AA24-483E-8196-8D509DFDB9C1@?????.???>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
When can we expect to see AO-92 L band activations on the weekend again?
When it was moved to Wednesdays, it was touted as temporary. How long is
temporary?
Usage of L band on Wednesdays is minimal at best. AO-92 (to the best of my
knowledge) is the only amateur satellite with an L band uplink. I would
think as more amateurs get Icom 9700s that they might like to give it a try.
I understand not everyone can be pleased but a majority of people work
during the week or have other family duties, such as childrens? school
nights that might limit their access to the satellite during the week.
Can we expect the ?temporary? Wednesday activations to return to the
weekends any time soon? After all, all AMSAT members should have a fair
chance at using the L band uplink to test/use their equipment. It can always
go back to Wednesdays after a while.
