I was able to get in touch with KM4MDF. He wasn't aware that his QSO with
HI3EAS was going through FO-29.
He was talking over the HI3JMN-R Echolink conference, a series of
interconnected repeaters in the Dominican Republic. Mr. Garcia offered his
help in finding out if any of the components of that network is
transmitting on the satellite sub band.

In response to my query about the QSO I had with these folks I received the
following response and thought others could benefit from Jack's response:
"Hi John,
I help the club with LOTW uploads.
The SAT project is under development, right now contacts need to be
extracted by the operator, emailed and then uploaded manually.
The next time Bill or one of us drops by club it should be done. In the
future we may sync the databases so SAT contacts would be included with our
regular HF uploads.
Thanks for your patience.

Bob,
I don't know why you get that error message. It is the first time I hear
about it. Normally SatPC32 runs flawlessly under Windows 7, 32- and 64-bit.
The SatPC32 program folder (usually on 64-bit Windows: C:\Program
Files(x86)\SatPC32) contains some other program files: SatPC32ISS,
Wisat32, WinAOS, WinListen etc.
You can start them from Windows - Start - All Programs - SatPC32 or? in
the program folder using the Windows File Manager.
Do these programs work?
At present I suggest you uninstall SatPC32 and make a complete clean
re-installation. (The program folder and the SatPC32 data folder must be
completely empty).
Open the downloaded ZIP? file and in the Winzip window click "Extract"
and "all" and unzip the file into an empty folder on you HD. Then RIGHT
click on the setup file in that folder and from the list that opens
choose "Run as administrator".
When the installation is complete start the program to see whether it
works better. If yes configure the program step by step for your
equipment. When you have a working setup run the tool "DataBackup"
(SatPC32 menu "Programs") to save your settings. Then you can easily
restore a working setup when later problems occur.
I hope you get it working.

Subject: [amsat-bb] Upcoming ARISS contact with Peoria Riverfront
Museum, Peoria IL
Message-ID: <CE0AA310A9EB46BBB56DC64177E7A677@xxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at Peoria Riverfront Museum, Peoria IL on 27 July. The event is
scheduled to begin at approximately 19:59 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 OR4ISS 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.
The Peoria Riverfront Museum focuses on interdisciplinary learning - a
fusion of art, history, science and achievement designed to develop
knowledge, critical thinking skills and a lifelong passion for learning. We
have a state-of-the-art planetarium to teach astronomy and other science
topics, and a giant screen theater that shows educational and feature films.
Our mission is to inspire lifelong learning for all - connecting art,
history, science and achievement through collections, exhibitions and
programs.
Peoria is the largest city in Central Illinois, with a population of 115,000
in the city, and about 400,000 in the greater metro area. The surrounding
area is rural, with a great deal of farming communities.
The questions to the astronaut will be asked by students in our "Space to
Ground" club, and by museum visitors and staff. The questions labeled
"Staff/Audience Member" were collected from museum visitors, but we are not
sure if the person who submitted the question will be at the event, so we do
not have names.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. What happens when you sneeze in space?
2. What do you miss from Earth most while you are in space?
3. How do the plants grow differently in space than on Earth?
4. From space, what area on Earth looks best?
5. What do you do for fun while on the ISS?
6. Is it true that your spine grows abnormally in space?
7. Would you prefer to go on a spacewalk, or to go for a walk on Earth
with gravity?
8. What is the first thing you will eat when you return to Earth?
9. What will you be doing today after you are done talking to us?
10. Which current science experiment on the ISS interests you most?
11. What is the most difficult job you do on the ISS?
12. How many sunsets do you see in a day?
13. What was the most difficult part of adjusting to weightlessness?
14. Where do you see human spaceflight in 50 years?
15. Do you have trouble running into things while moving about the
ISS?

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,
