Hi!
I am planning a quick road trip on Saturday (3 September), but not to a
National Parks on the Air site like I have been doing during this summer.
Saturday's road trip will be to the DM23/DM24 grid boundary in western
Arizona. This location is north of the junction of Arizona routes 72 and
95, southeast of Parker. I have visited this location many times over the
past few years, and there is a paved road that leads up to the grid
boundary
(north of the intersection, south of railroad tracks). I plan on being out
there around 1630 UTC, which would be in time for an AO-73 pass. If not, I
may be able to try a very shallow FO-29 pass just before 1700 UTC. I
definitely plan on working the AO-85 passes at 1900 and 2040 UTC, among
other passes.
I will use APRS while on the road Saturday, with the call sign WD9EWK-9. My
travels, and my location at the grid boundary, should be visible on web
sites
like http://aprs.fi/WD9EWK-9 (among others). There is good APRS coverage in
central and western Arizona, thanks to the mountaintop digipeaters that
cover
much of this state. I won't run the APRS radio when on the satellites,
unless
I'm working digipeaters on NO-84 or (if it is on) the ISS.
Along with APRS, I will send updates during the day using my @xxxxxx Twitter
feed. If you do not use Twitter, you can still see my Twitter activity using
a web browser at: http://twitter.com/WD9EWK
I will upload my log to Logbook of the World after this trip. If anyone
would
like to receive a QSL card for working WD9EWK at the DM23/DM24 grid
boundary,
please e-mail me directly with the QSO details. If you are in the log, I
will
be happy to send you a QSL card.
Thanks in advance, and 73!

Thank you for validating my recent acquisition. :-)
To get the Noise Reduction (and the auto notch filter) you have to
have at least one UT-106 DSP module installed (you can have one each
for Main and Sub bands). Mine has one but I'll probably snag another
off eBay as they are pretty common (and much cheaper, for some reason,
than the UT-102 voice synth).

AMSAT-BB Users.....
Just so you know, many E-Mail Spam Filters send messagesthat have the title
"No Subject" directly into the Spam Foldersince there are so many Phishing
Scams that use messageswithout titles.
So, if you want a lot of people to actually SEE your messages,then you
always need to give them a TITLE. ? ?:-)

I wouldn't focus on noise figure at the receiver, unless you happen to
have 1' of cable between the rig and your antenna. Instead, I'd put a
bias-T-powered LNA at the antenna to preserve your SNR (Friis formula).
Having recently built a U310-based LNA, I can say that a single night's
work of soldering and testing pays off well. Total parts cost was in the
$5 range.
I plan to build a new LNA based on a pHEMT just for fun. Only a couple
of bucks from Digikey. Why settle for 1.0dB when you can potentially get
0.25dB! :-)

Rich,
I think you may be confusing SpaceX with Orbital ATK, which
used surplus Russian/Soviet rocket engines on its Antares rocket
which exploded over Wallops Island in 2014. SpaceX has been
using engines of its own design for its rockets.
As for the explosion this morning, my office and I have been
watching a video of it. Alan WA4SCA just mentioned it, and here
is a link to it:

Its more interesting that that too.
The reason the 28.118 MHz user uplink has Doppler on it, is because he is
using N0SM's pre-compensated Doppler uplink software. See
http://aprs.org/psat.html
With this software, you can run your normal PSK31 software for monitoring
the 435.350 MHz FM downlink and run full duplex with N0SM's TX software
for your 28.1xx uplink. And the uplink is pre-shifted for Doppler so that
everyone seeing the downlink will see your signal constant.
And since it is full duplex, you can be typing with comments to everyone
in the passband at the same time while watching their comments too. Bob,
WB4APR

Subject: [amsat-bb] Upcoming ARISS contact with Lewis and Clark
National Historic Park, Astoria, OR
Message-ID: <752533EC4B494E2ABCB16A8EE45F708D@xxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at Lewis and Clark National Historic Park, Astoria, OR on 03
Sept. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 18:21 UTC. The
duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The
contact will be direct between NA1SS and KF7TCG. The contact should be
audible over the west coast of the 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.
Thomas Jefferson was a scientist and a pioneer in many fields of study
including biology, geography, meteorology, and ethnology. Since at least
1793 he had been planning for an exploration of the largest remaining
unexplored land on earth: the American West. This resulted in the four
pages of detailed instructions that he gave to Meriwether Lewis during their
1801-03 planning for the voyage of the Corps of Discovery. The resulting
1804-06 U.S. Army expedition to explore along the Missouri and Columbia
Rivers was led by Captains Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. The 33
diverse members of the Corps spent the winter of 1805-06 at a campsite they
built just a few miles from the mouth of the Columbia River and named after
the local Clatsop Indians. At Fort Clatsop, the captains planned for the
return journey to the United States and worked on writing scientific
descriptions of the plants and animals they'd encountered that were new to
science (a total of 178 species of pla
nts and 122 animals by the end of the trip). Like President Thomas
Jefferson and Captain Meriwether Lewis, today's astronauts have a curiosity
for exploring beyond known frontiers.
Some local students who have participated in various education programs at
Lewis and Clark National Historical Park and live in surrounding Clatsop
County have been learning about the International Space Station (ISS) and
are hoping to have a brief radio conversation with an ISS astronaut. All
of these students live in Clatsop County and are familiar with the park
through field trips, park summer camps, family visits, or education programs
with rangers visiting their classrooms. The park connected with these
students through four relationships:
1. The Northwest Regional Educational Service District and the Astoria
School District offer a migrant summer school to serve students who have
moved within the last three years for their parent's work. Several of these
students participated in summer camps that the park offered and they were
excited about the opportunity to learn about the International Space Station
and talk with an astronaut.
2. Three small local Girl Scout Troops (#10025, #10026, #10086) were
interested in this opportunity as they have been focusing on the three keys
to Girl Scouting which are Discovering, Connecting, and Taking Action. The
girls and their leaders were happy to incorporate this ARISS opportunity
into their projects.
3. The Fort Clatsop District of Boy Scouts includes local troop #509 and
#542. Since Scouting is about character development and having confidence
in yourself to Be Prepared, the ARISS program is a good challenge for these
youngsters. Their district is named in honor of the 1805-06 winter
encampment of the 33 people of the Lewis and Clark Expedition .
4. Three of the youth recruited for this special program are children or
grandchildren of Lewis and Clark National Historical Park rangers and were
excited to learn that an astronaut radio conversation would be happening in
their park.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. To prepare for his journey, Captain Meriwether Lewis was tutored by
experts in medicine, navigation, astronomy, mathematics, botany, and
paleontology. What was the hardest part of your training?
2. The Corps of Discovery enjoyed fiddle music, do you listen to music in
space? If so, what kind?
3. How different does your body feel in microgravity and how long does it
take to adjust after arrival in the space station?
4. Lewis and Clark failed to find a Northwest Passage. Have any of your
experiments failed or not gone like you wanted?
5. While wintering at Fort Clatsop, the Corps of Discovery made buckskin
clothes as their uniforms wore out. How many outfits of clothing do you
have with you, and what kind of material are they made from?
6. Why do you like communicating with kids?
7. Meriwether Lewis treasured an ermine scarf he received from a Shoshone
chief. Do you have a souvenir from space? If so, what is it?
8. Do you create art from the views from the space station?
9. When is your next spacewalk? What is your favorite thing when you are
outside the space station?
10. Lewis brought his dog Seaman with him on the expedition. Are there any
research animals on the space station now? If so, what are they?
11. Although most members of the Corps of Discovery were single, York and
John Shields had families at home. Do you miss your family, and how do
you communicate with them?
12. Do you guys keep journal like Lewis and Clark did?
13. If a microorganism changed genetically on the International Space
Station would it be considered a space alien?
14. Were you in a scouting program as a child? If so, did it affect your
desire to work in space?
15. Lewis and Clark played backgammon. What games do you play?
16. When Sacagawea became sick, Lewis treated her. If you get hurt or sick,
who treats you?
17. What are your space suits made of, and can they catch on fire?
18. How do you protect your eyes when the space station is facing the sun?
19. Are you doing any experiments with animals adapting to microgravity?
20. What does a shooting star or a meteor shower look like from 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), 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,
