Great job, Skyler, on the satellite net this evening.
Although just a dozen or so checked in, there were more
lurking - and, hopefully, learning and getting interested.
Heck - one of your participants even offered a donation to
your school's ham club!

Thanks!
Really appreciated your check-in, and we had a great net tonight.
I will hopefully get on the air more sat wise, I haven't been doing enough
satellite work and hope to get my school club on satellites if there is a
pass during Lunch.

Hi!
Omar XE1AO sent me an e-mail, mentioning that he will be operating
as XE719SEP on the satellites on 19-20 September 2015. XE719SEP
is a special-event station commemorating the earthquakes that hit
Mexico City on those dates in 1985. The "719" in the call sign represents
the local time of the first earthquake, 7.19am on 19 September 1985.
Officially, the XE719SEP stations will operate until 0040 UTC on 21
September, corresponding to 7.40pm local time on 20 September 1985 -
the time of the second massive earthquake.
Other operators will use XE719SEP on other bands and modes during
this weekend. More information about XE719SEP, in English and Spanish,
is available at:
http://qrz.com/db/XE719SEP
Another page has similar information in Spanish:
http://19SEP.puebladx.org
A chart with a schedule showing when and where other stations will
operate as XE719SEP is at:
http://rne.puebladx.org/RNE/SEP19.html
The "XE Time" in this chart is the same as Central Daylight Time in
the USA and Canada, corresponding to UTC -5.
Good luck, and 73!

You are much more advanced (pun intended) than many others your age ... Keep
up
the excellent work. I hope you can garner some support from a vice principal
or
administrator or school board member.
And do not forget the possibility of an ARISS contact for your campus -
======================================================
Proposal Window for Scheduled Contacts in the US Now Open
The US partners of the Amateur Radio on the International Space Station
(ARISS) program
are seeking formal and informal educational institutions and organizations
in the US,
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, 2016 and
December 31, 2016. For more information about the proposal requirements,

Hi Folks,
I have just switched FUNcube-1 to full time transponder mode at
approx 0850 UTC.
12 hours earlier than normal due Ground Station availability.
As usual, we will aim to switch back to 'auto' mode on Sunday evening
(UTC).
Enjoy and have FUN!

Hello,
Pope Francis will be visiting the US from September 22-27, operations will
include all bands and modes. Four unique QSL cards will be available along
with a certificate to mark this special and historic event, you can read
more about this event on QRZ.com, WM3PEN. In order to receive a QSL card we
need to have some special event operators to work some passes.
I?m looking for satellite operators that might be available on some passes
throughout the event that are based in NY/NJ, DC/Virginia and Philadelphia.
If you are interested, let me know and I will provide you with additional
information.
At this point Paul, N8HM has signed on as one operator in DC, the call
sign will be K3P, I will be one NY operator as K2P, I hope we can add many
more operators in the locations mentioned to have as many voices in space as
we can, thank you.

Hi,
I sometimes see received packets (like the one below) that show as gated
to the net by my Sgate, but do not make it to findu
(http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/pcsat.cgi).
Is there anything I can do, change, alter, or configure, to increase the
chances of the packet making it to the findu site?
The gate is currently running on an old Windows machine and the gating
is completed by UIView.

Thank you for the net, Skyler. I had to check out a bit early due to family
commitments, but it was nice to hear and talk with you and other satellite
enthusiasts.
If possible, please continue to announce your net on the amsat-bb. I believe
that I am much older than you and the memory is not so good.
Thank you!

JAXA announced CubeSats deploy from ISS with J-SSOD at 17th Sep.
CubeSat name is not shown on the announce. However, NASA's ISS On-
Orbit Status Report 09/09/15 shows the followings;
JAXA-Small Satellite Orbital Deployer (SSOD) #4 Install: Kelly
installed the J-SSOD#4 on the Slide Table with the Multi-Purpose
Experiment Platform (MPEP) attached. The J-SSOD #4 has two satellites
that will be deployed next week. The first satellite is designed to
observe the Ultraviolet (UV) spectrum during the Orionid meteor shower
in October. The second satellite, sponsored by the University of
Brasilia and the Brazilian government focuses on meteorological data
collection.
So, the first one must be S-CUBE and the second is SERPENS.
SERPENS operates on amateur band. IARU Satellite Frequency
Coordination page show
Downlink: 145.980MHz 1k2 and 437.365MHz 9k6
S-CUBE seems not operate amateur band.

Good morning!
After a drive of over 300 miles last night, I am in
California for today. I will be on the upcoming
SO-50 pass around 1427 UTC from grid DM14
in Yucaipa CA, then back on the road to the
ARRL Southwest Division Convention in
Torrance to see what's there and meet up with
some local satellite operators.
I may be on one or two FO-29 passes from the
convention, which is in grid DM03. Please call
WD9EWK if you hear me. The convention is in
that "rare" grid DM03. ;-) My APRS track is
visible at http://aprs.fi/WD9EWK-9 and updates
will be on my Twitter feed.
After the convention, it's back on the road for
the drive home. Any QSOs I make today will
be uploaded to Logbook of the World, and QSL
cards will be available on (E-mail) request.
73!

The APRS internet system (IS) should never be used to "ascertain" reception
statistics, since it only captures the first copy of any packet heard by
any number of IGates. The only way to improve your IGate's "appearance" on
the APRS-IS is to disconnect everyone else in your country. (If I
understood your question...) Bob

I plan to leave for my Fall Grid Trip on Thu 9/17 which willtake me through
northern Ontario and Quebec.
The first day will take me from my home QTH in EN91 toNorth Bay, ON, FN06.
On Fri 9/18, I'll go through FN07 onmy way to Timmins, ON, EN98. On Sat
9/19, I'll do moreEN98 and hopefully get up to EN99.
Sunday 9/19 will take me through FN08 and over to Val d'Or,QC, in FN18. On
Mon 9/21, I'll go through FN17 and 16 andend up in Mont Tremblat, QC, FN26.
On Tue 9/22, I go toWatertown, NY, FN24 and home to EN91 on Wed 9/23.
I usually work FO29 10-15 KHz up from centerband and SO50if I can squeeze my
Call into the fray. Not ever knowing whatMode AO7 will be in, I might give
it a try. Never been on AO73.
My hope is to give as many new Grids out to everyone as possiblewhile seeing
things few people see. Check out my QRZ.com info.

I bought the mast mount RF switching version of the ARR 70cm preamp this
summer with the idea of upgrading the stations both at home and the
vacation station. I had them install the choke so I could power it through
the coax. It worked maybe once and very well at the vacation station and
then was deaf as a stump. Switching it inline made no difference one way or
the other. I sent it back and they put it on the bench for hours and then
returned it when they could find no problem. We came back recently to the
home QTH before I could try it again. I just swapped it out for the old,
but working Mirage preamp. Guess what....it is deaf! I'm powering it
through the coax as always. What could I possibly be doing wrong or missing
here?
