The ideal solution would be to have a worldwide amateur data network,
based only on amateur-radio resources (microwave, HF, etc.), which would

be independent of the Internet.

We have the IPv4 space (44.x.x.x net) and the open-source tools
(Mastodon) to replace the data-mining, you-are-the-product commercial
solutions.

This network would provide the driving need to keep our spectrum, which
is rapidly being eroded by the FCC for 5G.

Obviously, this network would be the backbone for amsat-bb and other
amateur mailing lists/resources. This source material could be relayed
to the Internet, for those without direct RF access to the 44.x net.

So many ideas, so little time..

There is one.  called APRS.  And in the early days, my original APRSdos
could send out a local beacon every 10 minutes showing the satellite names
and AOS time for upcoming satellites.  Then when the satellites were in
view, it wouild send out Satelltie OBJECTs that the APRS radios wouid then
use to show the range and bearing to the satellite once a minute as well as
the words LOW or HIGH to be spoken by Knewoods that had the voice chip in
them.

See:
http://aprs.org/satinfo.html

This is exactly what APRS was designed to do.  To be an info resource for
everyone everywhere to see what was happening in their area.
But unless someone is posting the info or running such an ap in the local
area, then there is nothing to see.

Hello Bob,

AX.25 is an obsolete, circuit-switched way to route packets.

At the physical layer, lack of FEC, AFSK Bell 202 speeds and
ALOHA-scheduling leads to massively inefficient utilization of the spectrum.

I'm talking about a cellular-network like organization with downlinks
and scheduled uplinks. Dedicated terminals using COTS modem chips, at
both sub-1GHz and 2.4GHz,  would lower the barrier to entry and not tie
up an analog radio.

I estimate a small data terminal would cost in the neighborhood of $50.
This small terminal would be the any-hams way to get on the 44.x network
via RF.

There are many disparate commercial implementations of something like
this, but nothing cohesive has come of it. We still have a ton of
amateur traffic relying on Internet links.

There have been some projects to make amateur internet networks on our 2.4
GHz and 5 GHz allocations, for example http://www.broadband-hamnet.org/

However, no matter whether it's APRS or actual internet protocols, it will
be dependent on the real internet unless amateurs make an independent
backbone to support the long-distance traffic. This could be a good way to
use our microwave bands. There are a lot of repeater systems linked over
large regions via microwave, so I'm sure it could be done to support
internet traffic too, although the bandwidth might be somewhat limited. A
geostationary satellite could work too. The problem is getting enough
people interested and finding the right hardware.

AMSAT needs to have presentation to the ARDC public meeting happening this
morning.  Over one hundred others representing various organizations have
signed up.  The board of ARDC and the Grant election committee will be
there to make a presentation and to answer questions.

The processes, laws to follow, structures needed have taken two years to
put into place and it has all been retarded by COVID-19 and 2020 madness.

ARRL Foundation, YASME, FAR, TAPR, ARISS, ORI etc have all received
"existence changing " grants for activities they have undertaken.
Scholarships done by some of these organizations have doubled.  ARISS and
TAPR have had projects funded that didn't require begging cheap hams for
funding.

Listen to the presentations and ask questions.

If AMSAT isn't signed up, ask why.  I will be a moderator of the Q and A.

Amateur Radio has a history of re-purposing Radio & Electronics surplus, for
a variety of uses (receiving, transmitting, accessories, etc.).

Recent posting on Github the past two weeks
https://github.com/stdw/cm-sdr

?cm-sdr? is a piece of software to turn a Broadcom BCM3383-based cable modem
into a general purpose Software Defined Radio (SDR)

In its current state, cm-sdr serves as a proof of concept. It can currently
stream I/Q data to a peer via TCP. A script to demodulate and play FM radio
broadcasts is also provided.

cm-sdr is dependent on many functions and memory mapped registers in the
unmodified firmware. Thus, at the moment it is highly tailored to one
specific cable modem model and firmware version.

==

Earlier work by OpenWrt with the Broadcom?s BCM33xx chipset.
https://openwrt.org/docs/techref/hardware/soc/soc.broadcom.bcm33xx

The BCM3383 DOCSIS 3.0 cable gateway System on a Chip (SoC) combines
Broadcom's Full-Band Capture (FBC), dual-band concurrent Wi-Fi and a custom
applications processor.

Bob,

AMSAT would have been pleased to send a representative to this meeting.
Unfortunately, AMSAT's Senior Officers were not aware or informed that this
meeting was taking place.

After doing a search on the ARDC website, I do see that there's a mention
of a "Community Meeting" taking place today, but it does not list any
details about the purpose of that meeting.

AMSAT's projects have been made possible through the incredible generosity
of our members and donors. Outside of ARISS, we have generally not pursued
grants for our satellite projects. However, we recognize that the
availability of grant funds, from ARDC and others, certainly increases the
possibilities of what we can do. For this reason, the Board of Directors
created the position of Vice President - Development in 2019 to expand
AMSAT's fundraising efforts, including the pursuit of grant funding.

73,

Paul Stoetzer, N8HM
Executive Vice President
Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT)

Greg,

Interesting concept.? Thanks for the post!

I scanned through the various sources and I cannot find which cable modem or
firmware version is being used.? I also looked through the companion Github
https://github.com/stdw/bcm3383-reverse-engineering
without gaining any insight.

Looking at the OpenWrt webpage you referenced, the only cable modem
mentioned
that specifically uses the BCM3383 is the Technicolor TC7200. There are
probably others, though.

I hope that more development occurs.

Robert NcHale KE6BLR has turned on PSAT for digipeating.
I have no idea if it has the power budget to support it, but we will see.
If the telemetry counter gets above 90 (minutes) then it is surviving
eclipses
See http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/raw.cgi?call=psat,psat-1&time=1&start=12

Have fun.  Try some double hops from ISS to PSAT using the path NA1SS,PSAT

If you simply used APRSAT,APRSAT, then PSAT might digi the first hop too
and then be clobbered when ISS also does it.  Then the second hop will not
go via PSAT beacuse by then it is a dupe.

UH Satellite Successfully Blasts into Space

Neutron-1 successfully launched as part of an International Space
Station (ISS) resupply mission from NASA?s Wallops Flight Facility in
Virginia on Friday, October 2. The small satellite involved more than
100 University of Hawai'i students, faculty, staff and volunteers,
and will measure neutrons in space and radiation coming from the Sun.

Neutron-1 was aboard the ELaNa 31, NG-14 rocket as part of a
rideshare mission, which included other satellites, and will be in
space for approximately one year. When astronauts set up the deployer
pod for launch out of the ISS around mid-November, Hawai'i Space
Flight Laboratory (HSFL) will continue to be the primary driver for
the Neutron-1 mission.

Neutron-1 carries an FM repeater: A downlink on 435.300 MHz and an
uplink on 145.840 MHz have been coordinated.

UH students, faculty, staff and volunteers were able to view the
rocket launch live on NASA TV and can be viewed on the HSFL website.


?I am thrilled. This is a great achievement of the University of
Hawai'i?s Neutron-1 team of students, staff and faculty,? said
Peter Englert, a Hawai'i Institute of Geophysics and Planetology
(HIGP) researcher and principal investigator for the Neutron-1
mission. ?It demonstrates the quality of undergraduate education and
research in space science and engineering at the university.?

?This mission development demonstrates that HSFL can deliver flight
hardware and work collaboratively with other institutions regarding
NASA planetary exploration,? said Lloyd French, HSFL researcher and
project manager for the Neutron-1 mission. ?Small spacecraft and
cubesat architectures are the next generation of planetary robotic
exploration, and HSFL is poised to take advantage of the
opportunity.?

This is HSFL?s second completed spacecraft. In 2016, the first
iteration of the Neutron-1 payload was lost due to a failed
suborbital rocket that was launched from Wallops Flight Facility.

?Watching the NG-14 launch from Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia
was an amazing opportunity to reflect how far we have come as a team,
how many students were impacted by the project, and all of the
lessons that were learned along the way,? said Amber Imai-Hong, an
avionics engineer at HSFL and ground station coordinator for the
Neutron-1 mission. ?Watching a rocket ascend to space is always
amazing, and to know that this leg of the journey is complete was a
huge relief.?

The team is now gearing up for mission operations. HSFL will control
Neutron-1 via the GlobalStar network, and partner with Amateur Radio
operators to communicate with the satellite through HSFL?s Kaua'i
Community College Ground Station to receive and send messages to the
satellite when it is released from ISS in November.

The Neutron-1 project was funded by a NASA EPSCoR Research
Infrastructure Development award, and the team conveys special thanks
to the Air Force Research Lab for providing solar cells for the
project.

ARISS to Celebrate 20 Years of Ham Radio on the ISS

Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) will soon
celebrate 20 years of continuous ham radio operations on the
International Space Station (ISS). NASA is commemorating the
milestone with a newly produced infographic highlighting the
educational contacts via amateur radio between astronaut crew members
aboard the ISS and students. Over its 20 years, ARISS has supported
nearly 1,400 scheduled ham radio contacts with schools, student
groups, and other organizations.

Planning for ARISS began in 1996 as a cooperative venture among
national amateur radio and amateur satellite societies, with support
from their respective space agencies. The ARISS ham radio gear
actually arrived on the station before the Expedition 1 crew, headed
by Commander Bill Shepherd, KD5GSL. The FCC issued ham radio call
sign NA1SS for ISS operations. After Expedition 1 arrived on station,
some initial tests with ARISS ham radio ground stations and
individual hams confirmed the ham gear was working properly. The
first ARISS school contact was made with students at Luther Burbank
Elementary School in Illinois on December 21, 2000, with Shepherd at
the helm of NA1SS on the ISS, and ARISS operations team mentor
Charlie Sufana, AJ9N, guiding the operation on the ground.

NASA produced a video of students talking with astronaut
Chris Cassidy, KF5KDR, during an ARISS contact in May 2020.

Before and during scheduled ham radio contacts, students, educators,
parents, and communities learn about space and related technologies,
and radio communication using amateur radio. ARISS has inspired
thousands of students, promoting exploration through educational
experiences spanning science, technology, engineering, the arts, and
mathematics.

ARISS relies on a large network of amateur radio operator volunteers,
many associated with radio clubs in the communities where students
and groups participating in the contact reside. ARISS volunteers
support satellite ground stations, serve as technical mentors, and
provide additional help in the areas of education, community
outreach and public relations.

While student-to-astronaut radio contacts are a primary objective for
ARISS, the capability has also inspired further experimentation for
Amateur Radio in space and evaluation of new technologies. In
September, ARISS announced that the initial element of its next-
generation ham radio system had been installed in the ISS Columbus
module. The new radio system replaces equipment originally certified
for spaceflight in mid-2000. The onboard ham station also provides a
contingency communications system for the ISS crew. Several
astronauts have also enjoyed using NA1SS to make casual contacts
with ? and delighting ? earthbound members of the ham radio
community.

In the US, ARISS sponsors include ARRL, AMSAT, and NASA, the ISS
National Lab-Space Station Explorers, and NASA?s Space Communications
and Navigation program. Global organizing partners include
International Amateur Radio Union (IARU) member-societies as well as
AMSAT organizations, and space agencies in Canada, Europe, Russia,
Japan, and elsewhere.

The next proposal window for US schools and educational organizations
to host an amateur radio contact with a crew member on board the ISS
opened on October 1 for contacts that would take place from July
through December 2021.

Like many educators who have coordinated ARISS radio contacts for
their students, teacher Rita Wright, KC9CDL, an ARRL member,
described the first ARISS school contact as inspirational and having
a lasting impact on their community. Five months after their contact,
nearly 500 students greeted Bill Shepherd when he visited Luther
Burbank School. Wright said it was ?like tossing a pebble into a
stream.?

?The ripple effects are still occurring, and I suspect will continue
to occur for a long time,? she said. ?We have a young staff, and
witnessing these events has inspired some to look for other
interdisciplinary projects. They are beginning their dream. Many of
our students are looking forward to careers associated with the
space industry.?

IARU Region 2 Releases 2020 Band Plan Revision

International Amateur Radio Union Region 2 (IARU R2) ? the Americas ?
has released the September 2020 revision of its Band Plan and made
procedural changes to shorten the time to reflect future adjustments.
The Band Plan includes a change approved at the October 2019 General
Assembly to add an Amateur Satellite uplink subband, 21.125 to
21.450 MHz, on a non-exclusive basis. This matches similar changes
in the Region 1 and Region 3 band plans.

A number of administrative changes have been made to the text,
although the Band Plan itself has not been modified. These changes
include:

- Modifications to the wording of the Band Plan to ensure that
national regulators understand it is a voluntary document, and that
countries may depart from the plan based on national requirements.

- Definitions additions: Amateur Radio Direction Finding (ARDF),
primary service, secondary service, and several acronyms.

- Inclusion of information detailing the primary and secondary users
in each amateur radio allocation band.

- Correction of minor typographical errors.

At its May 2020 meeting, the IARU R2 Executive Committee added text
to the Standard Operating Procedures that provides a process for the
Band Plan to be updated in a more timely manner. Prior to this
change, Band Plan modifications could only be approved at a General
Assembly, held once every 3 years. Under the new provision, the Band
Planning Committee may circulate proposed changes to member-societies
with the approval of the Executive Committee. ?Should no more than
one objection be received within a 60-day period, the change shall be
deemed accepted and reported as such at the next conference,? the
Band Planning Committee?s terms of references state.

The IARU R2 Band Planning Committee has a member from each of the
seven areas in Region 2, and one of those members also serves as the
committee?s chair. The current Committee Chair is Alphonse Penney,
VO1NO/VA1AVR.

Two More Astronauts Earn Amateur Radio Licenses

Although the lockdown of Johnson Space Center (JSC) postponed Amateur
Radio training and licensing over the past seven months, NASA ISS
Ham Project Coordinator Kenneth Ransom, N5VHO, was able to work with
all of the new astronaut-class graduates, as well as offer some
refresher courses with already-licensed astronauts. Licensed
astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) may operate the
on-station ham radio equipment without restrictions.

Astronauts often participate in Amateur Radio on the International
Space Station (ARISS) contacts with schools and groups on Earth.

NASA Astronaut Kayla Barron, who completed her introductory course
in June and received basic ham radio operations training in late
September, recently tested and received the call sign KI5LAL.

European Space Agency astronaut Matthias Maurer passed his Amateur
Radio exam on July 30, and he got his basic ham operations training
in July. He now is KI5KFH.

Astronauts Shane Kimbrough, KE5HOD, and Shannon Walker, KD5DXB,
completed the refresher course earlier this year. Two other new
astronauts are in the queue to take the Technician license exam.

* British Columbia Radio Amateur Hears Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter

According to a Spaceweather.com report, Scott Tilley, VE7TIL, in
British Columbia, Canada, received a signal from the NASA Mars
Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO), flying just 274 kilometers (about 170
miles) above the red planet?s surface. The signal was an X-band
carrier containing no data or telemetry.

?Its purpose is to allow for Doppler tracking,? Tilley explained.
?The rapid change in pitch of the signal is caused by the relative
motion of the satellite and the observer.? He used a homemade
satellite dish to hear the orbiter.

Tilley enjoys tracking down signals from ?dead? satellites, zombie
satellites, and spy satellites, but the MRO was a first for him.
?MRO?s signal is weak, but it is one of the louder signals in Mars
orbit,? he said. ?The spacecraft has a large dish antenna it uses as
a relay for other Mars missions. With the proximity of Mars these
days, it was the perfect time to try.?

In 2018, Tilley saw the ?signature? of the Imager for Magnetopause-
to-Aurora Global Exploration (IMAGE), a NASA spacecraft believed to
have died in 2005. That discovery delighted space scientists.

* Rocket Lab CEO Warns of Space Junk

In 1978, NASA scientist Donald Kessler warned of a potential
catastrophic, cascading chain reaction in outer space. Today known
as "Kessler Syndrome," the theory posited that space above Earth
could one day become so crowded, so polluted with both active
satellites and the detritus of space explorations past, that it
could render future space endeavors more difficult, if not
impossible.

Last week, the CEO of Rocket Lab, a launch startup, said the
company is already beginning to experience the effect of growing
congestion in outer space.  Read the complete story at:
