Bruce,
I sent you two e-emails regarding AMSAT GridMaster Award process (first one
on July 24 and second one on August 10).? I have not received any response
from you.? Are you having problems receiving e-mails ?

I've used what I had on hand, a FT7900 and a dual band mobile Diamond
antenna, both items I've had to operate from my car for 10 years. I have
built an eggbeater for both bands and the fading on high passes went away
but it just wasn't very efficient and I went back to the mobile antenna.
The 1/2 wave design doesn't need a ground plane, it works about the same
with or without radials.
One thing I'm contemplating is a easy to adjust angle mount so I can be
close to a right angle on different elevation passes. Not sure exactly how
I'll do that but it may help and I would not need to point a beam.
A tripod if you use a directional antenna can help. Even a light weight
antenna can get heavy for 15 minutes and if it's windy....
There is a zoom presentation available on this topic, a link is provided in
other amsat-bb messages.
In general, get the frequencies and pl tone set in your rig and listen.
Late night passes are often easier to start operating with less competition.
I've had pass with only 2 other stations and then others where no one hears
me at all. Don't get discouraged, there will be a pass where everyone calls
you one after another. I've had a pass with 6 contacts - once in a while
you find several stations that need your grid and you knock them off in
short order.

Thanks for sharing some memories and history Mark, and fittingly, on
Tony's birthday.?
It is a weird coincidence, as I was not online today to see anything
mentioning Tony until just now.? This morning I thought of Tony and
wondered how many members have the recollection or knowledge of what
Tony did to bring AMSAT into the CubeSat era.? Much of the discussion of
Fox-1 birds seems to be related or remembering of events of the past
year or maybe two, and some of what is said seems to have no
understanding of how we got here.
My thoughts were of his family as well, looking forward and waiting to
let them know that the bonus satellite brought about by Tony's work was
headed out of my hands and up to orbit? Although it lacks "Veronica" as
the previous four had/have, it is still a Fox-1.? Many of Tony's family
were with us at the launch of Fox-1A almost five years ago now and that
was a feeling of family that also shows a part of the overall commitment
that goes into making the satellites that is never publicly mentioned or
seen, but is important in fueling the work we do.
A photo of the launch party can be seen in the gallery on my website,
and I put it up here too:

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.

Open Source Satellite Work Determined to be Free of ITAR
https://openresearch.institute/2020/08/18/cj-determination-open-source-satelli
te-work-is-free-of-itar/
The United States Department of State has ruled favorably on Open Research
Institute's commodity jurisdiction request, finding that specified
?Information and Software for a Digital Microwave Broadband Communications
System for Space and Terrestrial Amateur Radio Use? is definitely not
subject to State Department jurisdiction under ITAR, the International
Traffic in Arms Regulations. This is an important step toward reducing the
burden of regulations restricting international cooperation on amateur
satellite projects, which have impeded engineering work by amateurs in the
United States for decades.
Export regulations divide both technical information and actual hardware
into three categories. The most heavily restricted technologies fall under
ITAR, which is administered by the State Department. Technologies subject
to more routine restrictions fall under EAR, the Export Administration
Regulations, administered by the Department of Commerce. Technologies that
are not subject to either set of regulations are not restricted for export.
On 20 February 2020, Open Research Institute (ORI) filed a Commodity
Jurisdiction (CJ) Request with the US State Department, seeking to
establish that key technologies for amateur radio are not subject to State
Department jurisdiction. ?Information and Software for a Digital Microwave
Broadband Communications System for Space and Terrestrial Amateur Radio
Use? was assigned the case number CJ0003120. On 11 August 2020, the case
received a successful final determination: the technology is not subject to
State Department jurisdiction. This is the best possible outcome of a CJ
request.
The Final Determination letter can be found at
https://openresearch.institute/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/CJ-0003120-
Final-Determination-Letter.pdf
.
Under this determination, the technologies are subject to the EAR. The next
step is to submit a classification request to the Commerce Department. ORI
anticipates that the Commerce Department will find that these technologies
are unrestricted under the carve-out for open source in the EAR.
Open Research Institute (ORI) is a non-profit research and development
organization which provides all of its work to the general public under the
principles of Open Source and Open Access to Research.
This work was accomplished by a team of dedicated and competent open source
volunteers. The effort was initiated by Bruce Perens K6BP and lead by
Michelle Thompson W5NYV.
Open Research Institute developed the ideas behind the Commodity
Jurisdiction request, hired Thomsen and Burke LLP (https://t-b.com/) for
expert legal advice, organized the revisions of the document, and invited
organizations and individuals with amateur satellite service interests to
join or support the request.
ORI thanks Libre Space Foundation and Dr. Daniel Estevez for providing
their subject matter expertise and written testimony, and JAMSAT for
helpful encouragement and support.
The legal costs were fully reimbursed with a generous grant from Amateur
Radio Digital Communications (ARDC). See
https://www.ampr.org/grants/grant-open-research-institute/.
ARDC and ORI share a vision of clearly establishing open source as the best
and safest way to accomplish technical volunteer work in amateur radio.
This final determination letter provides solid support for that vision. The
determination enables the development of implementation guidelines that
will allow free international collaboration.
This clears the path for a number of interesting projects facilitating new
methods for terrestrial and satellite communications, opening the door to
robust global digital amateur communications.

Hi Michelle,
I just receive the ballot and wish to have your personal advices for whom to
vote (surely not the legacy team), being quite far and not knowing the OM
personally.
More I really believe that the organization need a shake and this will be my
vote, but wish to have a team in place hopefully lead by you or someone you
will work with serenity. Please indicate and recommend to me for whom I
should vote for to make the change and a real working Board..
Make the change and bring AMSAT to new heights Madam, my personal wish and
dream is to get either HEO's or GEO?s for worldwide coverage, more unite the
different AMSAT organizations worldwide for a common vision so that all
cents we spent are in line with that vision/common goal (my 1 cent input).
Also wish you and your team the best for this election.
