Patrick is right. The IARU Monitoring System does handle interference with
satellites as well as on the HF bands. IARU MS in all three regions have
signed on to this. In IARU Region 2, this was incorporated into the IARU MS
mission through a Recommendation adopted at the 1998 R2 Conference, in which
I participated.
I should mention, however, that the purpose of IARU MS is to deal with
non-amateur interference in the amateur bands (i.e., "intruders") rather
than interference from one amateur operation to another. Amateur-to-amateur
interference, e.g., terrestrial FM operations in the 145.8-1 46.0 MHz
satellite segment, or interference to terrestrial operations from satellites
operating outside of the satellite segments, can be dealt with by the
relevant IARU Member Societies, as well as direct amateur-to-amateur contact
as in the current case of interference to FO-29.
The Mexican interference to AO-27 which Patrick mentioned came from
non-amateur operations. LMRE was very helpful in resolving it.

Well, according to that web page, "The duration of our visit is largely
determined by weather conditions and will likely last between 45 minutes to
2 hours." So you would have to be very lucky to get a satellite pass in
range so that you could have a QSO while there. Of course, there would
likely be plenty of aurora activity, so you might manage an aurora scatter
contact on 6 or 2 meters without a satellite. That company does offer an
overnight stay option, but NOT at the North Pole, but at the "base camp" a
short helicopter ride away. But a contact from there would not do the job.
Your GPS needs to read 90.0000 degrees of latitude. I wonder what longitude
reading you would get?

There is a provision for "overnight" at the pole via flight in. Other
packages are ski or dogsled in, out via helicopter. Guides, Sherpas
and champagne included.
Skiing in provides the most flexibility. Some periods of wx up there
are quite predictable and will support human life.
Not sure where they'd drop a party to start.
Today the extreme has become mundane. Help is an phone call away from
anywhere on the planet.

your reports to aj9n@xxxxx.xxx or aj9n@xxx.xxx.
Listen for the ISS on the downlink of 145.8? MHz.
****************************************************************************
***
All ARISS contacts are made via the Ericsson radio unless otherwise noted.
****************************************************************************
***
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
http://www.ariss.org/
Note that there are links to other ARISS websites from this site.
****************************************************************************
Looking for something new to do? How about receiving DATV from the ISS?
If interested, then please go to the ARISS-EU website for complete
details. Look for the buttons indicating Ham Video.
http://www.ariss-eu.org/
If you need some assistance, ARISS mentor Kerry N6IZW, might be able to

webpages were removed and new ones have been added. If there are
additional
ARISS websites I need to know about, please let me know.
Note, all times are approximate. It is recommended that you do your own
orbital prediction or start listening about 10 minutes before the listed
time.
All dates and times listed follow International Standard ISO 8601 date
and
time format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS
The complete schedule page has been updated as of 2016-07-27 02:00 UTC.

Total number of ARISS ISS to earth school events is 1073. (***)
Each school counts as 1 event.
Total number of ARISS ISS to earth school contacts is 1038. (***)
Each contact may have multiple schools sharing the same time slot.
Total number of ARISS supported terrestrial contacts is 47.
A complete year by year breakdown of the contacts may be found in the
file.

Here is a tidbit of news from the DARC DX Newsletter, DXNL 1999 - July 27,
2016 which is more timely now rather than waiting for the weekend ANS
Bulletins.
RSGB IOTA Contest 2016, July 30-31
----------------------------------
The upcoming weekend sees this year's edition of the IOTA contest,
organised by the RSGB. For rules and a list of participating

http://www.ng3k.com/Misc/iota2016.html

Canarias (DIB MA-03, WW Loc. GI97bf, SA-072) as ZY8DIG on HF, 2 meters
