The weather looks great for our trip to DL88 in Big Bend National Park this
Sunday.
I've updated the K5Z page on qrz.com with lots of information about the trip.
Doug N6UA and I hope to give you DL88 this Sunday if you need it.
We will be active on FM and linear satellites, however it looks like it will
be mostly linear this trip based on the times we will be in DL88.

73,

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.

Brian:

The Kenwood 710 seems capable with it's built-in modem. Would you happen
to know if it will work with Falconsat-3 right out of the box?

I believe I used my TS-2000 to work GO-32 with it's internal modem many
years ago and I'm pretty sure it was plug-n-play.

It's a shame that the TS-2K is no longer being offered. Sorry I sold mine.

Tony

All:

I'm in the market for a new all-mode satellite transceiver and it seems
the ICOM 9700 is the only game in town. Nice rig, but it doesn't have
9600 baud capabilities which is what I'm looking for.

The TS-2000 was discontinued and there's no indication that it will be
replaced any time soon. If anyone knows otherwise, please let me know.

A used ICOM 910H might be the way to go, but one can get burned buying
second-hand gear. I'm not familiar with the rigs reliability so maybe
someone who owns one can elaborate.

It appears to be a good performer overall -- not sure about it's 9600
baud capabilities.

Thanks

73, Tony

IC-9100 does 9600 packet through the rear data port.? Should be able to find
some on the used market from operators that upgraded to 9700s.
