okay, let me revise the method of entry as doors, windows, skylights etc
are all points of entry.
Remember you have until May 17th to purchase tickets for the AMSAT/TAPR
Banquet. There will be no tickets sold at Dayton. You will not have to
pick up your ticket at the AMSAT Booth at Dayton. Entry to the banquet
will be done at the door by checking your name off a list of those who
purchased tickets.

Dear All
I come to know AX.25 packet standard is being used in some satellite .while
satellite which I used to take pass funcube-1 does not require ax.25
depacketizer.
I am confused what is the requirement for ax.25 encoding /decod in telemtry
or in telecommand or in both
what is the significance of using ax.25 in satellites .why we require this .
any help and details.
My rig icom 9100 does not do ax.25 packet decoding. I come to know TNC will
be required. but we have hardware as well as software TNC. which to use.
any help
regards
Shakeel

I have for sale a Kenwood TS2000 HF/VHF/UHF satellite radio. This radio
does 100 watts on HF/6m/2m, and 50 watts on 70cm. It does full duplex for
the satellites, and has 10 satellite memories available for storing
satellite frequency pairs. It also has a TXCO built in, a CW memory keyer
built in, IF-DSP so crystal filters are not needed, and a AM/FM subreciver
for 2m and 70cm that will do dual receive with the main receiver.
Based on the serial number, this rig was built in 2010, and it looks brand
new, with no scratches or anything like that on it. It also comes with the
original boxes, hand mic, power cord, and manual. You will be very pleased
with this radio.
These are selling new for $1400. I am asking $925 plus shipping, and can
take paypal/check/MO.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at Ashfield Primary School, Otley, West Yorkshire, UK on 05
May. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 08:08 UTC. The
duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The
contact will be direct between GB1SS and GB1APS. The contact should be
audible over the UK 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.
Ashfield Primary School is a smaller than average school situated in a small
market town, north of Leeds. Whilst Otley is a relatively affluent area, a
high proportion of our pupils come from the Weston Estate - an area of
significant deprivation.
Almost all pupils are of White British heritage. Very few speak English as
an additional language but this number is increasing. An above average
proportion of pupils have special educational needs and/or disabilities and
an above average number of pupils are eligible for pupil premium (40%).
Over recent years the school has sought to raise the aspirations of the
pupils and their parents as a high proportion of the children come from
2nd/3rd generation NEET (Not in Employment, Education or Training) families.
We are a 1 form entry primary with 200 pupils.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. How can I come and see you?
2. If you blow a bubble in space what shape will it be and will it last
long?
3. How do you communicate with people down below?
4. Are your space clothes itchy or soft?
5. Although you are with other members up in the ISS do you ever get
lonely?
6. What would happen to a balloon in the ISS that isn't attached to a
string?
7. Does helium work the same in space?
8. How tall are you now on the ISS?
9. Is there space candy?
10. How do you get home from the space station?
11. What are washing machines like in space and how do you clean your
clothes?
12. What does the Earth look like at night from the ISS?
13. What does space smell like?
14. How often do you look out of the window to see planet earth?
15. What is the best thing about the countdown and why?
16. How do you stop your food from floating?
17. What is the best thing about being in zero gravity?
18. What is it like in space at night time?
19. How many miles up are you and why?
20. What happens to your organs in space?

An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at All Saints STEAM Academy (AS2A), Middletown, Rhode Island on
06 May. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 16:43 UTC. The
duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The
contact will be direct between NA1SS and N1ASA. The contact should be
audible over the eastern coast of the 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.
All Saints STEAM Academy (AS2A) is thrilled to make history by hosting the
first ARISS contact with Rhode Island, USA. We are a small Catholic school,
located near Newport, serving grades pre-K through eight. The student body
reflects the area's social, economic and religious diversity and includes
many military families that bring unique experiences to the classroom,
including global travels and deployments. We are a recognized leader in
using a combination of technology, differentiated instruction, and hands-on
activities to increase student interest and competencies in areas associated
with science, technology, engineering, the arts, and mathematics (STEAM).
One of the most exciting features in our school is the inclusion of
co-curricular, collaborative STEAM learning opportunities. Our
standards-based curriculum is delivered in such a way as to bring real-world
activities to our students. STEAM education is incorporated in each
classroom from pre-kindergarten through grade eight where our students are
challenged to imagine new ideas, to discover how to create them, and to
launch them into reality.
AS2A is strongly committed to all students and their families. The high
caliber of our teachers, in conjunction with a positive educational
environment, is conducive to learning excellence. Our goal is to have each
and every child receive a quality education while experiencing personal
growth and spiritual development. Furthermore, each student's learning
experience extends beyond the engaging classroom environment to the local
beaches for environmental studies, the school's makerspace for fabrication,
and the hydroponics lab for growing and harvesting plants.
Local non-profits, universities and the Naval Undersea Warfare Center have
enjoyed mentoring our students across a variety of STEAM initiatives
including app creation, competitive robotics, cyber security challenges, and
amateur radio (the club callsign is N1ASA). All students gain early coding
skills through the SCRATCH programming language on iPads, and also leverage
the Apple design lab with the on-site 3-D printer and vinyl cutter.
At All Saints STEAM Academy, the spirit of joy in learning is present
everywhere, every day. We encourage our students to expand their learning,
to explore new ideas and to create their dreams.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. How do you calm yourself if you feel a little claustrophobic?
2. Do diseases travel faster in zero gravity?
3. What do you do for fun with the rest of the crew?
4. How do you celebrate different holidays and events that you would at
home?
5. We practice the engineering design process at school. What innovations
have you needed to make on board the ISS?
6. What is your favorite and least favorite space food?
7. Does your sleep dreams change in zero gravity?
8. What do you now appreciate that you may have taken for granted on Earth?
9. How do you cut your hair and nails?
10. What has been your biggest accomplishment in space so far?
11. What would you do if you found something unusual while on a spacewalk?
12. If becoming an astronaut is so challenging, why did you decide to
become one?
13. What is the scariest part of being aboard or traveling to the ISS?
14. What is the most interesting piece of space debris that you've seen?
15. How do astronauts keep up with religious practices and '
obligations?
16. Do you use special writing devices in zero gravity?
17. When you were in school what were your favorite and least favorite
subjects?
18. What do you do to maintain your mental and emotional well-being?
19. What activities aboard the ISS do you find most enjoyable?
20. What food do you really want to have when you get home?
21. What is the most threatening piece of trash that you encountered?
22. Could a goldfish live on the ISS?
23. Could a domesticated pet be trained to go to a Moon base or Mars?
24. Compared to sleeping on Earth, do you sleep more soundly?

An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at The Kings School, Ottery St Mary, Devon, UK on 09 May. The
event is scheduled to begin at approximately 09:26 UTC. The duration of the
contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The contact will be
direct between GB1SS and GB1OSM. The contact should be audible over the UK
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 King's School is an 11-18 comprehensive school with approximately 1150
students of which 230 are in the Sixth Form. It has a long and proud history
that can be traced back to a fourteenth century choir school which was
replaced in 1545 by Henry VIII in 1545 with "The King's School". Although
The King's School became an academy in 2011 we continue to work in close
partnership with Devon County Council and our fellow secondary schools to
ensure that we offer the best educational opportunities possible. Our
inclusive philosophy of "Achievement for All" encapsulates our belief that
every person who enters The King's School has unique skills and potential
which we believe we have the creativity and ability to unlock.
We were graded Outstanding by OfSTED in 2011, and in the latest 2014 OfSTED
inspection we were again graded Outstanding but this time in every category.
The report endorsed the school's belief that its ethos has a hugely positive
impact on student achievement.
We are extremely proud of our students and of the brilliant examination
results they achieve year on year. However, we are also incredibly proud of
the myriad of extra-curricular activities in which they are involved. This
richness of opportunity is central to what we believe develops our students
into well rounded young people. We are very much a community school, working
very closely with our hugely supportive parents, Governors, excellent
partner primary schools, local business representatives and a wide range of
other agencies to provide opportunities for all.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. You have missed Christmas and Easter with your family and friends - how
have you celebrated big events in space?
2. We have seen videos of you playing about in microgravity on the ISS -
what is your favourite thing to do when 'weightless?'
3. From your elevated advantage point, looking down on the Earth, has your
perception of the events on our planet, such as conflicts and wars been
altered? Does the change in perception give any insight that we could
learn from?
4. Having spent many months looking at the Earth from afar, where is the
first place you would go for a family holiday when you get home?
5. Over 500 astronauts have been into space, but only 12 have set foot on the
moon. Do you think that we will return people to the moon again in the
future? How will your research on the ISS help us if we did?
6. We have learned about your experiments on how the human body adapts to
conditions in space. How will the research improve our quality of life on
Earth?
7. Taking into account Einstein's theory of relativity, do you think you are
aging slower because you are travelling faster then the Earth?
8. I often stare into the inky blackness of space and wonder if the
universe is expanding, then what is it expanding into? Has your time in
space given you any insight?
9. Is the sunrise more spectacular from your perspective?
10. After 6 years of training to be an astronaut, I bet it's all been worth
it. The experiments you are doing are amazing, but did you ever struggle
with Science at school? What would you say to anyone that finds it
difficult?
11. How do you get your air in space? Do you bring it up in tanks, or do you
make it in the space station, if so, how? Also, do you have a special
'space mixture' of air or is it the same as we have on earth?
12. Do you and the other astronauts onboard control the space station, or is
it controlled from Earth?
13. Research shows that your sleeping position can affect the kind of dreams
that you have. Have you noticed any difference in your sleep patterns or
dreams during your time in space?
14. I am reading 'The Astronaut's Handbook' at the moment, which is
fascinating. If you could take one thing into space to make life more
comfortable, or easier, what would it be?
15. We have enjoyed listening to your music choices on 'Space Rocks' - what
is your all-time favourite song to listen to in space?
16. How do you keep the temperature constant inside the space station?
17. What would happen to a goldfish if you took it up to the ISS? Would it
just float around in a bubble of water?
18. Do you have a special 'space mixture' of air or is it the same as we have
on earth?
19. How will your research on the ISS help us return people to the moon?

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,
