Hi all,
If anyone is interested in decoding digital telemetry from AAUSAT-4,
there is some GNURadio software from Aalborg University that can be used
to do so.
More info in my blog:
http://destevez.net/2016/04/first-signals-from-aausat-4/
I haven't heard e-st@xxxx either. Apparently its signals are very weak:
http://www.dk3wn.info/p/?p=71352
Probably below the noise floor with just an Arrow yagi (DK3WN uses 2x18
or 2x20 yagi, it seems). Perhaps I'll try to listen on an overhead pass.
73,
Dani EA4GPZ.

AMSAT community members,
This is a reminder email for the Reuse, Interoperability, Portability, Code
Complexity Survey. So far about 25 participants have completed the survey,
and if you have I am very grateful. Another 20 have stated the survey, and
maybe those participants are done with how they want to fill out the survey.
I would ideally want about 100-200 respondents, but I have had about 40-80
participants on the previous surveys. If I could get another 20+
participants that would be great. I will keep the survey open until Monday,
then we start the last survey... I know you will all miss these emails.
This is the longest survey, please note that you can take it in stages as
long as you resume or visit the link in the same browser on the same
computer and you have cookies turned on as it will remember your session: no
other identifying information is collected or stored.
You can you use the link below to access the Reuse, Interoperability,
Portability, Code Complexity Survey.
https://usu.co1.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_79TOgGac3B4Z77f
What follows is more information about the survey and is largely the same as
what you have seen before.
There is a chance to win some gift cards. Please see below for more
information. The survey should take about 15 minutes. Thanks.
Please note that the link is anonymous, so you are getting this reminder
even if you have already taken the survey. I would like to thank everyone
that has participated thus far, I really appreciate it, I know it is an
inconvenience and that everyone is really busy.
The second part of the survey has background questions that will give
context to your answers. Try to fill the background out the same way if you
take more than one of the surveys.
Answer as many of the questions as you want and as much of each question as
you want, partial surveys may still be very helpful. At the end of this
survey, you will be redirected to a webpage that asks for an email address.
You must enter a valid email address to be considered for survey drawings or
the overall survey set drawing.
We are currently on the 5th survey, Reuse, Interoperability, Portability,
Code Complexity Survey.
You have a chance at receiving a gift card for participating in this survey
as well as a chance at receiving a gift card for your overall participation
in the entire survey set. There will be 2 winners of $25 gift cards for each
survey and 2 winners of $200 gift cards for the survey set.
The surveys are as follows and will be distributed in the following order:

Strong signals on the 2230Z pass over eastern North America. I worked K8II,
WB8RJY, KC4LE, and WN9Q.
The transponder worked as well as all of the other XW-2s. Nice to finally
hear this one on and make some QSOs on it. I've now made QSOs on all six of
the XW-2 satellites.
If you haven't worked any of the XW-2 satellites yet, I encourage you all
to do so. While they are in low orbits (around 530 km), they are very
strong, sensitive, and frequency stable. The evening passes are at a
convenient time and I know several hams who work them fine with eggbeaters
or dual band verticals. No matter how compromised your VHF/UHF setup may
be, you should try it out on these satellites, you may be surprised how
well you can work them.

A friend in that region hasn?t joined a club yet, but who would like me to
program
her HT for her ? at least with simplex frees for local work.
Anyone here have first-hand knowledge of what that region uses for local
simplex?
Is it the same as ?ours? (146.52 and 146.55, and 446.000 and 446.500)???
Many thanks.

Hi, George,
I heard OUFTI-1, and once again on the last pass (orbit nr 21) on
145.980 MHz.
In fact I found the bird 3 kHz lower than expected, something like
145.978 MHz near the max elevation, perhaps because my preliminary tle
is not accurate and then my Doppler shift correction is too late : to be
confirmed.

No, looks like only perhaps 1 kHz lower, around 145.979 MHz.

Hi!
On Friday (29 April) afternoon through midday Sunday (1 May), I will be
part of the AMSAT presence at the ARRL Nevada State Convention in Las
Vegas. The convention will take place at the Eastside Cannery Casino-Hotel
in Las Vegas. This hotel is located along Boulder Highway at Harmon Avenue,
north of Tropicana Avenue and east of the I-515 freeway in Las Vegas. More
information about the convention is available at:
http://nvcon.org/
During the convention, I will have WD9EWK on the air for demonstrations of
satellite operating. If you hear WD9EWK on, please call and be a part of
the demonstrations. I will try to post details of the planned satellite
demonstrations here on the AMSAT-BB list, and will also post that
information and other news from the convention on my @xxxxxx Twitter feed.
If you don't use Twitter, you can still see what I post there by visiting
this link:
http://twitter.com/WD9EWK
The convention site is in grid DM26lc.
AMSAT thanks Frank Kostelac N7ZEV, a long-time AMSAT Area Coordinator in
southern Nevada, for leading the AMSAT presence at this event. I am happy
to be working with/for him this weekend, and looking forward to spending
more than one night in Las Vegas this weekend. :-) (I have only spent one
night at a time in Las Vegas on other trips over the past several years)

Hi!
While I am in Las Vegas for this weekend's ARRL Nevada State Convention, I
plan on doing some operating before and after the convention each day. I
want to work some passes from the DM25/DM26 grid boundary, on the south end
of Las Vegas, as well as from Lake Mead - a National Recreational Area, and
a location that is part of the ARRL's National Parks on the Air event for
2016. So far, I have made one definite plan for my non-convention operating
this weekend - an SO-50 pass on Saturday (30 April) morning just before
1400 UTC, at the DM25/DM26 grid boundary on the southern end of the Las
Vegas metropolitan area.
Beyond this pass, I will look to work other passes in the early mornings
and evenings in the Las Vegas area. I will also look to work some passes
as I approach Las Vegas on Friday morning, and on my drive home Sunday
afternoon. One plan is to stop in the Kingman area in northwestern Arizona,
near the I-40 freeway, to work from grid DM35. If time permits, I would
operate on the DM25/DM35 boundary in Kingman either around midday Friday or
sometime Sunday afternoon.
For all of my trips to southern Nevada in the past several years, I have
always operated at a single location - the DM25/DM26 grid boundary on the
south end of the Las Vegas area. This will be one location I will work from
during the weekend. I will also try to activate the Lake Mead National
Recreation Area, southeast of Las Vegas, as part of the ARRL's National
Parks on the Air activity during 2016. If an SO-50 or FO-29 pass line up
with my travels, I may even try to work a pass from the "Welcome to
Fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada" sign. The sign sits in the median of Las Vegas
Boulevard, next to McCarran Airport and what some consider the "official"
southern end of the Las Vegas Strip.
While traveling, I will use my TH-D72A HT for APRS to transmit my location,
using the call sign WD9EWK-9. One way to keep up with my travels will be to
visit APRS.FI:
http://aprs.fi/WD9EWK-9
I will also post updates here on the AMSAT-BB, as well as my @xxxxxx
Twitter feed. If you don't use Twitter, you can still read my posts on
Twitter at this link:
http://twitter.com/WD9EWK
As always, I will upload these QSOs, as well as the QSOs I make during the
ARRL Nevada State Convention, to Logbook of the World. If you would like to
receive a QSL card, please e-mail me directly with the QSO details. If you
are in my log, I would be happy to send you a QSL card.

An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at Istituto Comprensivo Statale "Diego Valeri", Campolongo
Maggiore, Italy, on 29 Apr. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately
08:34 UTC. The duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30
seconds. The contact will be direct between OR4ISS and IZ3YRA. The contact
should be audible over Italy 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.
The Institute is located in the province of Venice, near province of Padua.
The Municipality of Campolongo Maggiore is part of the urban area of the
"Riviera del Brenta" which stretches along the banks of the river Brenta,
famous tourist area for the presence of numerous villas of the XVI - XVIII
century. The Municipality of Campolongo Maggiore has a vast territory and
the Institute Comprehensive School "Diego Valeri" consists of: a nursery
school, three complexes of primary school and two middle schools with a
total number of about 1000 pupils. The Institute boasts the best music
workshop in Italy and almost all of the pupils are able, not only to try his
hand in the study of a musical instrument and to read music but also playing
in an orchestra.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. What do you drink or eat in the space station?
2. What do you miss of earth?
3. How do you feel when you watch out the space station? Do you like the
landscape?
4. Why do you want travel in space?
5. Have you got a doctor? What do you do if you are ill?
6. How do you wash yourself?
7. How do you spend your free time?
8. By what means did you get in the space station?
9. When you know that you left for space, how did you feel?
10. When did you go to space for the first time?
11. How long have you been studying and training to become an astronaut?
12. How do you wash yourself and what about your physiological needs?
13. How many nationalities are there on the mission? What language do you
speak?
14. What temperatures are there out of the ISS?
15. Is moving difficulty on the ISS?
16. Which is the best thing you have seen from space?
17. Do you practice sports on the ISS?
18. Is it possible to cultivate anything on the ISS?
19. Is sleeping easy as on Earth?
20. What are you studying in this mission?

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), and the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA). The primary goal of ARISS is to promote exploration
of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) topics by
organizing scheduled contacts via amateur radio between crew members aboard
the ISS and students in classrooms or informal education venues. With the
help of experienced amateur radio volunteers, ISS crews speak directly with
large audiences in a variety of public forums. Before and during these
radio contacts, students, teachers, parents, and communities learn about
space, space technologies, and amateur radio. For more information, see
www.ariss.org, www.amsat.org, and www.a
rrl.org.
Thank you & 73,

Several of you have sent me emails asking about the RAC ARISS website and
not being able to get in. That has now been changed to

Note that there are links to other ARISS websites from this site.
