Jeff,
Yes, setup consists of:
Hardware: (The only thing I bought new is the Arduino, patience is the
prerequisite)
Windows 10 PC
USB Camera
Icom IC9100 with preamps
G5400 Rotor on 28' of Rohn 25
M2 Antennas
Arduino USB Rotor Interface with K5NG code and a home brew shield
Software -
SatPC32 (Radio/Rotor control)
Skype
(For Audio transport from the PC at the station to the remote PC
TeamViewer (Remote Access client - thanks Clayton W5PFG for this great find
!!!)
An IC-910H or FT-847 or IC-820/821H with a SignalLINK(or equivalent sound
card) could be substituted for the 9100 for a single radio approach with a
USB to CI-5 interface to control the radio using SATPC32.
A dual radio approach could be workable, just need more work to get the RX
audio into the signallink and audio /PTT from the Signallink to the TX
radio.
I have USB camera in the station facing radio too so I can see the Radio
front panel when remote which is helpful, given skype is a video app, plus
the radio can see me looking at it via my laptop webcam when I'm not there
which could be considered to be important when giving "that look" at the
radio <grin>
Glad to discuss if its helpful to anyone.

The accent the guy has sounds like he is from the islands, and he doesn?t

Hi,
I need to upgrade some of the software we use to support the warehouse over
the next few days.
In particular moving from:
java 1.7 to java 1.8
and
Tomcat 1.7 to 1.8
Both of which I have to say have been extremely stable but do not allow us
to move forward with other functions.
There will initially be a a few outages of the UI (the data collection will
continue to run)
If that is successful the data service will be stopped and moved to the new
platform (the dashboards will recover from the outage)
All this is in preparation for supporting Nayif-1 and eventually ESEO.
There may be another move in the next few months to the Amazon Web Services
platform for stability (some of you helped with that
experiment a few weeks ago)
As always, many thanks to all those that supply us with data.
Over 4M packets processed!

National Historic Park, Astoria, OR
Message-ID: <1744613F1A0A48A182DE372AD3DF359A@xxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Please note that this is contact first attempted as a direct, has been
rescheduled as a telebridge for Sept. 10, 2016.
An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at Lewis and Clark National Historic Park, Astoria, OR on 10
Sept. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 17:03 UTC. 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. 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,
