The AMSAT presence at Dayton was, in my opinion, the
best ever. This was largely due to the efforts of all
of the volunteers who gave up part of their Dayton
experience to represent AMSAT and grow the organization.
The leader of this effort, Steve, N9IP, deserves special
recognition because he made sure that attention was given
to every detail. Lessons were learned from last year
and the result was the best display and group of
representatives ever. Years ago there weren't many
active satellite operators at the booth and that has
changed for the better every year. Those not familiar
with satellites need practical and current information and
those that are on the birds every week were there to provide
it.
One of the most popular books that AMSAT sells is "Getting
Started with Satellites." Gould Smith, WA4SXM, and "Friends"
put out a completely revised edition this year. It is spiral
bound with heavy, glossy paper and contains everything you
need to know about satellites in 2016. It doesn't matter if
you got into satellites in the 1970's, you will want a copy
of this book. There are lots of pictures; there is nothing
boring about it. I'm sure that even Ricky Tillman will agree
with me on this. You can get a copy at the AMSAT store. It's
a great publication to share with your friends that know nothing
about what you do for a hobby.
Show and tell is a big part of the Dayton event. The AMSAT
demo station plays a big role in showing others what is needed
to work a satellite. This year Paul, N8HM, took over the
responsibility of this important activity. He had his two
FT-817's, an SDR, computer and an Arrow antenna. We also had
my IC-910H, computer and Arrow antenna on my custom mount
tripod. In past years we had multiple antennas including the
M2 Leo Pack. But I can say that the little Arrow antennas did
a great job and we were making qso's when the building and
vehicles were not blocking the signal. The only problem with
Dayton is that the demo station is in the vendor parking lot
and there is no regular flow of traffic going by the station as
there was in Orlando. People would find out about the
demo station at the AMSAT booth and come outside to see it.
Some of our visitors included PY2DM, PY5LF, XE1SEW, HP1CQ and
many others. We made contacts with Canada, Mexico, Brazil, and
Europe as well as many stateside stations. Congratulations Paul!
Our future rests in the hands of the young hams that are taking
an interest in satellites and space technology. 9 year old Hope,
KM4IPF, took over on one of our longer satellite passes and worked
station after station like a pro. Those of us that have been
active over the last several years have watched as these young
operators start with no experience and progress month after month.
I listened to Hope operate at Orlando and then heard her operate
at Dayton. I was impressed with the improvement. She was
focused and wasn't relying on any coaching to complete the contacts.
No mater what happened she knew what to do. Congratulations Hope.
I also met Nick, KE8AKW, along with his Dad, N8XQM, at the demo
station. Nick started operating with his Dad several years ago.
This was the same way I started although it was my older cousin
Paul, xW8BUS (SK) who would let me call CQ on 20m with his AM KW. He
would control the emissions and flip the switch to transmit.
According to my cousin I was only 2 years old when I made the first
contact. We didn't hear Nick for a while but when he appeared again
he had a callsign. Nick has become a great operator. Practice
and patience makes it happen. Congratulations Nick.
There were many other things that went on with AMSAT
including the forums, technical assistance, merchandising
etc. I am sure others will write about that. This is just
a small piece of it that I thought was worth mentioning.
AMSAT is about to launch 2 new FM satellites in the next
few months. FM birds are the gateway for those just getting started.
So now we have an even better opportunity to attract both young
and old to our part of ham radio. The best way to attract
hams to the world of satellites is to show them how it's done.
Construct a portable station. You only need an FM handheld
or mobile and a simple antenna like the Arrow on a tripod.
Use a small sealed lead acid battery if needed. Set up wherever
hams get together. You will be the center of attention and
you will generate the interest that we need to keep the
momentum going.
And I apologize for the rambling.
73,
John K8YSE

participants at Venta School, Carp, ON, Canada on 30 May. The event is
scheduled to begin at approximately 19:01 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 a
telebridge between OA4ISS and IK1SLD. 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.

> 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

Kevin - I used a Oscarlocator for many years, starting with Oscar 7 and
moving up through the various RS birds until I got tracking programs for my
computer.
This is from memory. My Oscarlocator is packed away somewhere, its existence
obscured by at least two moves.
The Oscarlocator can be thought of as an analog computer. The background was
an earth projection centered on the North Pole. There were two overlays for
each satellite. One was the ground footprint of the satellite with azimuth
markings on it and concentric circles for elevation. This overlay was
attached to the background centered on the user?s QTH. The second overlay
was the satellite ground track. The ground track was marked with tick marks
that were labeled in minutes, with the mark corresponding to the equator
being zero. The second overlay could be rotated with respect to the
background.
To use the Oscarlocator, one needed equatorial crossing longitudes and the
corresponding times for the equatorial times. These were published in QST,
73, the AMSAT Journal which for part of the time was known as Orbit,
ARRL?AMSAT bulletins, and disseminated on the HF AMSAT nets. Having the
crossing and time, one lined up the 0 tick mark on the ground track overlay
with the appropriate equatorial crossing longitude. Knowing the equatorial
crossing time, one then looked at the tick mark where the ground track
intersected the footprint, added that to the equatorial crossing time to get
the time for acquisition of signal. Azimuth and elevation could be picked
off from the azimuth and elevation marks on the footprint. Similarly, when
the ground track left the footprint, loss of signal occurred. I used this
with fixed antennas for much of the time, so did not use the az - el
capability.
One needed unique ground footprints and satellite tracks for each satellite,
or more properly each satellite orbit type. The Oscarlocator I purchased
came with ground tracks for Oscar-7 and Oscar-8. When the RS birds were
launched, new ground footprints were made available, mostly through the
above named magazines, which I copied on view graph transparency material at
work. Others traced the new overlays onto blank transparent material.
Some of the local FM AMSAT nets provided local AOS and LOS times calculated
with Oscarlocators, and I had several newcomers ask me for LOS/AOS times
until they acquired their own Oscarlocator.
It is a very clever device, reducing rather lengthy orbital calculations to
an almost trivial act of lining up the Oscarlocator to the equatorial
crossing times in a magazine, and looking at a good clock. Of course the
hard work was done in calculating the equatorial crossing parameters and
generating the overlays. I continued to use it after I acquired a real time
tracking program for my HP-67, but eventually transferred my satellite
tracking to a computer which provided graphical output similar to the
Oscarlocator.
Not sure if this is what you were looking for, but if not, feel free to ask
questions. - Duffey KK6MC

The ARRL store sells an evaporator for $1.00,though from the looks of it, it
is just map portion, no mention of overlays..
