I provided the information in the format that I thought was most useful,
including the video as it shows what was taking place. You can "see" what
the distortion looks like. It makes no sense to throw away good information.
It was primarily intended for the KA3 Station and in exactly the manner I
wished to provide it, as well as exactly as I told him on the satellite
itself.
Now, if you don't want to see, don't look at it.
Next time I won't bother, and the other users can deal with it themselves.

Finally, after about 3 weeks, I am back on the satellites. The Yaesu G-5500
stopped rotating. The weather kept me from bringing the tower down but
finally the winds subsided, tower down, rotor removed and trouble shooting
began. Now with my schedule completely cleared I could concentrate on the
problem. The soft brake that Yaesu uses in the design was hanging up with
the spring edge on top of the butterfly (if you have ever looked at the
5500 brake mechanism, you know what I mean. A couple of small bends with a
needle nose pliers and it is functioning properly, including the brake.
Yea! towers back up and the antenna wiggles as it should.

Don't worry about comments like that. I can forgive someone who doesn't
want to download a file because they don't trust their ability to download
a file and use a local anti-virus without accidentally executing it, it's
better than many users I have to deal with it that don't even know to be
wary of such files and get their computers infected regularly, but there's
no need to criticize someone who just offered a free, public service. I
thoroughly enjoyed watching it and my anti-virus did not report any issues
with the file.
Please continue to provide services like this in whatever mechanism is most
convenient for you.

Regardless of the other points made, another option is to upload the mp4 to
YouTube or some other web video service. That said, if you increase the
burden for the person to help, they are less likely to do that.

BID: $ANS-083.01
Sean Kutzko, KX9X, Appointed AMSAT Volunteer Coordinator
AMSAT President Clayton Coleman, W5PFG, has announced the appointment
of Sean Kutzko, KX9X, as Volunteer Coordinator.
First licensed in 1982 as KA9NGH, Kutzko served as both ARRL Contest
Branch Manager (2007-2013) and ARRL Media and Public Relations Mana-
ger (2013-2017). He was the creator and co-administrator of the ARRL
National Parks on the Air (NPOTA) program in 2016. An active HF and
VHF contester, DXer and backpack QRP enthusiast, Kutzko started work-
ing satellites in 2011 and has transmitted from over fifty different
grid squares. He has written instructional materials on satellite op-
erating for the AMSAT website, QST, and blogs regularly on satellite
topics for the DX Engineering blog "On All Bands."
"It's an honor to be able to volunteer for AMSAT," Kutzko said. "When
[new AMSAT president] Clayton [Coleman, W5PFG] asked if I would help
coordinate a team of volunteers, I jumped at the opportunity. AMSAT is
a great organization and helping find good volunteers who are willing
to help all areas of AMSAT's growth and development is the least I
could do for the organization that has given me a lot of enjoyment and
technical skill."
Outside of Amateur Radio, Kutzko is a freelance PR/communications
consultant and voiceover artist, as well as a baker of artisan breads,
pizza and pastries. He also plays drums in a classic rock/country
band, Silverweed. He lives in Urbana, Illinois.
[ANS thanks AMSAT President Clayton Coleman, W5PFG, for the above in-
formation]
In addition to regular membership, AMSAT offers membership in the
President's Club. Members of the President's Club, as sustaining
donors to AMSAT Project Funds, will be eligible to receive addi-
tional benefits. Application forms are available from the AMSAT
Office.

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.
