A couple of things to keep in mind.
First, satellites are not governed by the rules of the Amateur Radio
Service. (ARS) They are governed
by the Amateur Satellite Service. (ASS) Really!
Second, FCC or Ofcom rules are irrelevant if the satellite is registered in
another country. In that
case, they are governed by their National Regulatory Agency, and any
applicable international
treaties.
In other words, while researching this, make very certain you are looking at
relevant sources. This
very issue came up 20-25 years ago, raised a loud ruckus, and was at the
time perfectly legal.

GPS works fine in orbit. Several LEOs have carried GPS receivers.
It even works above the constellation to some extent, a capability proven
by the experimental GPS receiver on AO-40 (one of the many scientific
achievements credited to AMSAT satellites).

An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at The Children's Museum of Indianapolis, Indianapolis IN on 23
Aug. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 15:09 UTC. The
duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The
contact will be direct between NA1SS and N9DR. The contact should be audible
over portions of the mid 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.
Founded in 1925, the Children's Museum of Indianapolis creates immersive,
interdisciplinary experiences that promote inquiry-based family learning
across the arts, sciences, and humanities. The museum is a 473,000 square
foot, five-level facility that houses 11 permanent exhibit galleries, two
traveling exhibit spaces, a children's theater, a planetarium, a public
library, a preschool, and a collection of more than 115,000 artifacts and
objects. Most recently, the Children's Museum opened Beyond Spaceship Earth,
and immersive exhibit focused on human space travel. Beyond Spaceship
Earth features three components: a recreation of portions of the inside of
the International Space Station (ISS); a one-of-a-kind, immersive space
object experience called the Schaefer Planetarium & Space Object Theater;
and an Astronaut Wall of Fame, which will pay tribute to more than 30
astronauts with ties to Indiana.
Hosting more than one million visitors each year, the museum has received
numerous accolades, including being named one of the top 3 science centers
in the country by Family Fun magazine. The museum has been ranked as the
number one children's museum by Forbes.com. Through a variety of free and
discounted admission programs for underserved populations, as well as its
community outreach efforts targeting local neighborhood residents and urban
public schools, the Museum ensures that its visitor population is diverse.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. How do astronauts get the water they need?
2. What experiments are you conducting on the ISS?
3. Do you have any free time while on the ISS and if so, what do you do?
4. How many personal items do you bring with you to outer space and what
types of items do you bring?
5. Do you have plants on the ISS and if so, how do you grow them. What
type of food do you eat?
6. How does lack of gravity affect the body?
7. I know you have astronauts from different countries. How do you
communicate with each other?
8. What do you do with all of your trash while you are in space?
9. How long do you train before you are ready for a mission?
10. What is it like to sleep in space?
11. What is it like to do an EVA?
12. What is the most difficult task for you to do in space?
13. What happens if you need spare parts to fix something on the space
station.
14. What happens to your body while you are in space?
15. What is the biggest lesson you have learned while being in space?
16. Without the ability to get fresh air into the space station, what does
the ISS smell like?
17. What advice would you give to kids who want to be an astronaut?
18. What is your least favorite thing to do in space and why?
19. What is your favorite part of being an astronaut on the ISS?
20. What is your favorite food on 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), the Center for the Advancement of Science in
Space (CASIS) and 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.arrl.org.
Thank you & 73,

Hoi Daniel,
I have some different feeds for 10GHz from Johannes, and they all work FB.
He makes it on the frequency you want,including measurement report/plot,
good service!
I made myself a dualband feed, it is a helix for 13cm and a ringfeed for
10ghz within the helix. No further hardware yet, but we have time enough to
look around,hi. DG0VE has some nice stuff for that sat,maybe you've seen him
in Friedrhafen.

Hi Bob.
We have used numerous INA194 chips from Texas Instruments.
They run from the supply that's being monitored.
Can send the circuit and layout image if you wish

Update from CY9C:
Pete--an update on LEO. We've had some setbacks. First, there were
logistical issues getting people to this uninhabited Island and dealing with
setting up under difficult conditions. Then last night a storm hit. Took out
our EME array and knocked down the partially assembled sat yagis. Our G5500
suffered some damage. Not sure of its status; we're about to get some high
winds again so we put it away. Soon as WX clears we'll test it. If it's
toast, we might be able to use the G5500 from the EME setup. Worse comes to

We use INA199B3 on the Fox-1 CubeSats.
I can provide you the schematic or you'll find it in the 2015 Space

Message-ID:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
I'm happy to announce a grid expedition to Moosonee, ON, which is in EO91.
I will be arriving early afternoon on Friday September 23rd and leaving late
afternoon Monday September 26th. That gives me four days to put EO91 on the
air via satellite.
Moosonee is a Cree village located on the Moose River, which empties into
James Bay, about 15 km downstream. It's someplace I have always wanted to
visit and when I'm not on the air I will be wandering through the town,
photographing things of interest.
By land, Moosonee is only accessible by train; The Polar Bear Express that
runs from Cochrane, ON. It's also accessible by air at much greater
expense. I will be driving to Cochrane and taking a few days to get there,
which will enable me to activate other grids along the way, such as FN06,
FN07, FN08, EN98 and EN99.
Why not EO90? There's nothing there! There appear to be two roads into
EO90 from the south, but I'm not taking my Volkswagen on them. Cochrane is
at the bottom edge of EN99, so it would be a very long day's drive on
unknown roads to even set foot in EO90 and return to Cochrane. Plus, as far
as I can tell, there are no gas stations, food stops, accommodations or
cellphone service along the way. If you break down you are well and truly
screwed until someone finds you. Maybe some other time.
The Polar Bear Express has "flag stops" in EO90, where by prearrangement
they will drop you off at the side of the track at one of several
predetermined locations. Some of them are at power dams on the Abitibi
River, where they are not set up to accommodate unexpected guests. Other
flag stops are in the middle of nowhere, and have probably been set up
decades ago to pick up and drop off prospectors and trappers.
The only part of the trip that is carved in stone at the moment are the days
in Moosonee (EO91) itself. I'll start working out an on-air schedule based
on what SatPC32 can tell me. Times will change slightly as we get closer to
the date. Things are more fluid regarding the days before the train trip to
Moosonee, but I have allowed about 3 or 4 days to get to Cochrane, which
ought to be sufficient to operate a little from most of the grids I mentioned.
Updates will appear on Twitter. More verbose notifications will appear here.
Regards,
Ken
