All:
Is anyone using the ICOM 9700 to work FalconSat-3 with either a hardware
or sound card modem? If so, can you please elaborate on your setup?
The manual is a bit vague on 9600 baud operation.
73, Tony

Hi Tony,
Quite a few of us have tried. Briefly, NO. We can receive at 9600 baud
sort of (quick explanation follows), but cannot get the radio to transmit
at 9600.
I don't think I was ever able to use the audio out of the radio (FM-D, etc)
into a real TNC and decode it. Not sure anyone has...
To receive--use the IF via USB audio; use a program like SDR# with FM (all
filters off, 10-12kHz wide), feed that audio into hs_soundmodem that then
connects to PacSat Ground Station software.
Sadly, the fplks at iCOM are not responding to the request several of us
have made to figure out a way to get to work at 9600. Surely it's
doable---but iCOM doesn't seem to think it's worth the time/investment...

Hi Tom,
I am not sure who all might read this on -bb so along with your fieldops
email that you included you might wish to "contact us" on the
launch.amsat.org site and let them know the news if you don't get a
response here.

On behalf of the Engineering Team contributors I thank you for your
expression of your appreciation Red, as well as for the following email
from Rick expressing his appreciation as well.
I think it was great that we had an opportunity for engineering
presentations by our team volunteers as if in person at a Symposium.?
They have a lot to share and speak about.
All of the contributors across the board also made for a fine
presentation that reached a good audience during the event, and I am
sure is continuing in the YouTube replays.

I need to run over to PA tomorrow and I'll have a chance to activate the
EN91/FN01 Line.
Not sure of the timing, but I'll pop up on a few FM & Linear SATs. All Qs
will be on LoTW
a day or so afterward.

I was afraid of that Mark. I suspect ICOM could have made the 9700
FalconSat-3 ready right out of the box without much effort.

All:
Is anyone using the Kenwood TS-2000 to work FalconSat-3? It's been a
while, but I believe I used the internal modem to work GO-32 years ago
before I sold my Kenwood.
If I'm not mistaken, the latest TS-2K's still have the built-in modem.

I have used the D72A and KK4YEL has used the 710. There?s an upcoming AMSAT
Journal Article this month on how to use the D72A. Not sure if you have one
of these radios but it?s a viable alternative

ARISS Contact Applications (United States)
?
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 anticipates that the contact would be
held between July 1, 2021 and December 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 deadline to submit a proposal is November 24th, 2020. Proposal
information and more details such as expectations, proposal guidelines and
the proposal form can be found at www.ariss.org. An ARISS Introductory
Webinar session will be held on October 8, 2020 at 8PM ET. The Eventbrite
link to sign up is: https://ariss-proposal-webinar-fall-2020.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.
?
Please direct any questions to?ariss.us.education@?????.???.

For future proposal information and more details such as expectations,
proposal guidelines and proposal form, and dates and times of Information
Webinars, go to www.ariss.org.

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.
