This is why you should always record the audio of the ISS SSTV transmission!
This is from the July 2015 International Space Station (ISS) Slow Scan

Steve,
I'll throw out yet another thing, something I have seen more with
Windows 10 systems, but could also affect the older Windows
versions. Have you tried listening to anything with just HDSDR?
With some Windows updates, the driver needed to use the dongle
as a general-coverage SDR receiver gets overwritten by these
updates, and you have to rerun the Zadig utility to reinstall
the proper (non-Microsoft) driver to resume using the dongle
as a general-coverage receiver. With the most recent updates
this week, I will check that with my Windows 10 tablets this
weekend, to see if any of them need that driver reinstalled.
73!

An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at Frontiers of Flight Museum's "Moon Day 2016", Dallas TX
on 16 July. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 15:54 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 NA1SS and W6SRJ. The contact should
be audible over the west coast of the U.S. Interested parties are invited to
listen in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. The contact is expected to be
conducted in English.
The Frontiers of Flight Museum is committed to an Amateur Radio on the
International Space Station (ARISS) contact for our Moon Day event on July
16, 2016. Our previous experience was one of the most successful events in
our Museum's 25-year history.
As a result of the ARISS uplink during our last Moon Day in July 2015, we
have reached a whole new audience of families-not only from the students who
were selected to ask their questions, but also from the 200+ members of the
audience who witnessed their direct communication with Commander Gennady
Padalka on Expedition 44.
These new audiences have given us an even larger "family" to educate,
motivate, and inspire with our stories of space flight history and
innovation, including the importance of International Space Station research
to life on Earth. We look forward to an even larger audience for 2016.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. How do you recycle, clean, and reuse water so that the water is
drinkable on the ISS?
2. Do you have more than one space suit?
3. What is your daily schedule like on the ISS?
4. How do you fix the International Space Station and keep it on track?
5. When is the next spacewalk and what is its mission?
6. What was the worst problem on the ISS recently and how did you fix it?
7. What happens when you release a helium balloon in the Space Station?
8. How does the atmosphere on the ISS differ from that on Earth?
9. What kinds of experiments are you doing to learn more about how people
can spend longer periods of time away from the earth, on the space
station, or on another planet?
10. What is the most important work you do on the International Space
Station?
11. Is it possible for an astronaut or cosmonaut to get stuck floating in
the middle of a space station module?
12. Does the space station experience time zone changes like we do across
America and the world?
13. What food do you miss the most when you are in space?
14. What are some fun things you get to do on the International Space
Station?
15. If you ever lost contact with Earth, what would you do?
16. What inspired you to be an astronaut?
17. What do you need to study to become an Astronaut?
18. What does it feel like when you blast off?
19. What is the most amazing thing you have ever seen in space?
20. What does earth look like from space?
21. What requirements are needed to be an astronaut?
22. How was your experience in space compared to your training?
23. How did becoming an astronaut affect your life?
24. What was your biggest surprise when you first went to space?

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

Earth. Can you measure it?
14. Do you encounter interference from other electrical devices with your
radio onboard?
15. Why do you lose radio contact during reentry into the atmosphere?
16. Do you have a smartphone onboard?
17. Can you detect pollution of radio frequency spectrum from above?

Hi guys!
in the coming days I will be SSB satellites operating in the northwestern
region of Argentina (NOA) in the Puna and the Andes in the provinces of
Salta and Jujuy with close to 5000 meters (16.000 feet ) above sea level
heights.
I'll be very close to the border with Bolivia so I hope to contact any
station Central America or USA!

Does anyone know if there is a 2-ear headset w/mic that will play well with
a Kenwood TH-D7A handheld? My old Kenwood HMC-3 (single ear) set that was
made for the D7A finally broke and I'd like to replace it with a full 2-ear
headset.

I shared an eBay link in a separate email,
But search Amazon or eBay for
Headset for a Kenwood TH-D7A HT
In believe Wouxan boufang and others use the same pin out.

headset.

So, what's the most common reason that the FoxTelem program won't
decode?
I'm running HDSDR software with an RTL-SDR dongle. It has worked in the
past, but hasn't been decoding for about two weeks now. I can see the
peak of the AO-85 on the HDSDR screen and manually track the doppler
shift.
Everybody is set to 48000 sample rate. I get perfect "eyes" on
the FoxTelem screen. But zero decoding.
Anybody got any hints or tips?

13-Jul

I made my first QSOs via LilacSat-2's SDR linear transponder on two
passes this morning - both with W5PFG - on the 1112Z and 1248Z passes.
The transponder sounds quite good, though it seems somewhat less
sensitive than other linear transponders. Running 25 watts to an
Alaskan Arrow (with the top section removed - 8 elements on 70 cm and
3 elements on 2 m), my
signal was weaker than on FO-29, AO-73, or any
of the XW-2s. Telemetry bursts also occasionally interrupt
transmissions on the transponder, but they are very short and not of
much consequence.
I was manually tuning since I operate portable without a computer.
Keeping up with the nearly doubled Doppler shift compared to a
inverting transponder is a challenge. I was leaving my uplink
frequency fixed and tuning the receive as per convention for manual
tuning and had to continuously tune to keep my downlink within the
receiver's passband near TCA. On the first pass, W5PFG answered my CQ,
though on the second pass, I tuned around to answer his CQ after
receiving no responses to my own. Tuning around the passband manually
reminds me of playing Halo back in the dorms at Michigan State and
subbing in for another player who used the non-inverted controls (I
have always played video games using the flight simulator
style of
down=up).
Other stations were heard on the pass using LSB up and LSB down. That
will work, of course, but goes against convention, which is to always
receive in USB. If you choose LSB/LSB, you'll likely receive fewer
responses to your CQs.

Paul, N8HM

Nerd. :-)

Next time I am involved in a ham class I plan to make it a point to
mention that it's "USB everywhere". The only place where the
convention is to use LSB is 160/80/40 m (because reasons) and on the
uplink of inverting transponders (because that's how
they work).
Everything else, unless a station is being operated by a contrarian,
is USB.

Hi Folks
I have just switched AO-73/FUNcube into full time transponder mode (Amateur
Mode).
As normal, plan to switch back to education mode on Sunday PM UTC
Have FUN!

I?ll be activating National Parks on The Air Blue Ridge Parkway PK01
from the Craggy Dome overlook on the July 16th 1546 UTC SO-50 pass
The pass is 86 degrees elevation for me and I will be filming to
hopefully make a video for my YouTube channel. I hope to make at least
10 contacts so I can get credit as an activator.
I have never activated for NPOTA before nor have I been at the
receiving end of a pileup on a satellite. Not sure that I will be, but
I kinda want to be, and if so I will appreciate your patience.
