Hi, its Skyler Fennell KD0WHB, I am a Senior in High School, and started
the Colorado Amateur Satellite net (amsatnet.info).
This year, I have started an Amateur Radio club at my School (Denver School
of the Arts Amateur Radio Club , KE0FXH) , and we have decided we want to
build a payload for the Edge of Space Sciences launch in *February of 2016.*
We plan on performing an Amateur Radio experiment to either test RF
propagation at the elevation or send data packets of live information or
both. Although I have plenty of parts laying around for transmitting and
receiving RF signals, and processors like the Arudino or raspberry pi, for
the live data, the trip will cost us $350 to get a payload on the 100,000
foot balloon launch.
This Amateur Radio club is almost entirely student funded, and I have
already brought in stuff for a Fox Hunt, the construction of an AllStar/
EchoLink repeater, and now we are building a Morse code transceiver. The
next project will be the Balloon payload, given that we get the funds for
the Launch.
I would greatly appreciate if anybody would be willing to donate a bit to
the club for support of the High Altitude Balloon Launch. I believe this
launch will inspire many students to learn about Science and Technology,
and inspire them to get a ham license.
Here is a donation link. The video shows a payload, which I helped design
for the STEM school in highlands ranch, Colorado, a sound propagation
experiment:
https://www.gofundme.com/eu985jy4
Our club contains 5 Licensed amateurs so far, and we are recruiting more.
We meet during lunch hour in one of the Science rooms.
73, and Thanks from
Skyler Fennell KD0WHB - President, Founder, Trusty of the club Call
Jordan Walters KD0MLV - Co-founder
Ian Tompkins KE0GET
Christopher Banchero - KE0DTG
Dong Lee - KD0ZOE
Other Students in the club, who plan on soon getting their ham license.

Looking at raw PSAT-1 telemetry on http://pcsat.aprs.org I can see that
all the telemetry serial numbers,T#072,... are resetting back to T#001 and
never getting past 70 miinutes or so. This means it is not making a full
orbit without running down the battery and resetting.
So until we get back to a good sun exposure, I guess we should not be
transmitting on the PSK31 uplink, especially at night.

An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at Ste. Genevieve du Bois Catholic Elementary School, Warson
Woods, Missouri on 12 Nov. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately
16:25 UTC. It is recommended that you start listening approximately 10
minutes before this time. The duration of the contact is approximately 9
minutes and 30 seconds. The contact will be direct between NA1SS and N0KBA.
The contact should be audible the mid U.S, and adjacent areas. Interested
parties are invited to listen in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. The contact is
expected to be conducted in English.
Ste. Genevieve du Bois Elementary School is part of the St. Louis
Archdiocese Catholic School System. The school has 127 students,
kindergarten through eighth grade. The school's focus is on growth,
exploration, confidence and compassion. It is expected that the contact with
the space station will encourage students to select course work in high
school that will lead to careers in science, technology, engineering or math.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows
1. How many countries are involved with the ISS?
2. Have you ever had any problems with the ISS?
3. How long does it take you to get used to being in space?
4. Does lack of gravity affect your dreams?
5. What science experiments do you conduct in space?
6. Do all the astronauts work together in the same experiments?
7. What would happen if you light a fire in zero gravity?
8. When you were a kid did you know that you would be an astronaut?
9. What type of educational background helped you prepare for this job?
10. Is it difficult to readjust physically upon returning to earth?
11. Does infection spread at the same rate in space as on earth?
12. What happens if you have a medical emergency?
13. Can you get dizzy in space?
14. How does space affect you mentally and physically?
15. What is the most exciting thing you have seen in space?
16. Do you have plants on the ISS?
17. What is your favorite part of being in space?
18. What emergency procedures do you have to avoid space debris?
19. How many people can be in the space station at once?
20. What is the longest amount of time you can stay on the space station?
21. How do you avoid collisions with satellites?
22. How do families send you personal items, or do they?
23. How do you celebrate your birthday or holidays on the space station?
24. Do you have access to the internet?

ARISS is an international educational outreach program partnering the
volunteer support and leadership from AMSAT and IARU societies around the
world with the ISS space agencies partners: NASA, Russian Space Agency, ESA,
CNES, JAXA, and CSA.
ARISS offers an opportunity for students to experience the excitement of
Amateur Radio by talking directly with crewmembers on-board the
International Space Station. Teachers, parents and communities see, first
hand, how Amateur Radio and crewmembers on ISS can energize youngsters'
interest in science, technology, and learning. Further information on the
ARISS program visit the ARISS website at ariss.org.

I'm getting an error 32 from SatPC32 in the radio setup screens. It
doesn't seem to matter what I enter, whenever I click on the store

cancel out of the window. I'm trying to setup two radios, an Icom IC-746

interface cable (serial port 9 and 11 respectively). Any thoughts as to
what error 32 means?

Hello all,
I listened to both the November 8th 17:15 UTC pass and the November 9th
0:00 UTC pass, both of which I was using my 17el beam with HDSDR recording
IF files and piping it into Foxtlm, decoding telemetry, Both recording are
in my dropbox file
herehttps://www.dropbox.com/sh/bhzpp4aer0i3j0m/AABiTWdkA_zj2OGMbnNP6H7Ia?dl=0
.
On the November 8th 17:15 UTC pass I hear Jerry N0JY testing with someone
else, testing out power levels on the satellite with I believe telemetry
on. On the recent November 9th 0:00 UTC pass I hear no telemetry on the
beginning of AOS and hear Jerry and Mark and Drew testing the bird, than
mid way through the pass the telemetry comes back on, Interestingly enough
I see in HDSDR the downlink jumps up in frequency slightly when the bird
switches between COR mode and Repeater/Telemetry mode.
As far as I can tell, COR mode on AO-85 slightly sounds better on the
downlink, the audio sounds somewhat better, But I dont think its going to
affect receiver sensitivity. The passes with the COR mode on, the downlink
sounds much stronger and has better audio. I have yet to work in fully in
COR mode to see how good the receiver sensitivity is.

A few minutes ago I went out in the backyard for a try at LilacSat. It
should have been practically overhead here, but I didn't hear anything. I
got a brief moment of quieting in the receiver as if a carrier was
transmitted, but heard no voices.
I'm using an Arrow Antenna. Is that not enough to work the LilacSat?
All constructive suggestions would be appreciated!

It was likely switched out of transponder mode on the last pass over
China. They tend to turn it on during the first pass over China around
2200 UTC on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and turn it off during the
first pass over China around 2200 UTC on Tuesday, Thursday, and
Saturday.
Hopefully the schedule for transponder operations will be expanded as
the satellite completes it's mission objectives.

By the way, an Arrow and HT is fine for LilacSat, when it's on. The
quieting you heard was likely the 9600 baud telemetry.

Hi!
I heard from someone else on a XW-2F pass that XW-2A has been on all day,
so I tried the recent 23:43 UTC pass and it was on, Strong downlink and
works just like the 2F and 2E satellites.
