DX Engineering sells very good rotor cable, as does Davis RF.
And there's always eBay or Amazon.....

Actually, you only need 7 (common ground between them is ok). There
should be "sprinkler wire" or some search term for low voltage wiring
that comes in I think 18 or 20 gauge at the local hardware store,
commonly used for sprinkler control systems. That's what I use.

School, Maplewood MN
Message-ID: <B781D804F99546D7A7718D0787CF8039@xxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at John Glenn Middle School, Maplewood MN on 22 Feb. The event
is scheduled to begin at approximately 18:48 UTC. The duration of the
contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The contact will be
direct between NA1SS and K0JDD. The contact should be audible over the
middle 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.
An astronaut on the International Space Station looks back at Earth and sees
the beauty and diversity of life. They imagine humans of all colors and
creeds finding common ground and getting ready for tomorrow. Our school
mirrors that ideal in microcosm.
Our school is in North America, in the United States, with latitude of 44?
N. John Glenn Middle School is proud to stand in Maplewood, Minnesota ever
since it opened in 1962. Generations of citizens have been educated within
our walls. Today, parents and grandparents come to conferences to support
their student and fondly say, "I remember this classroom." The
neighborhoods have grown but the family ties remain the same.
Our students have come together from different nations, cultures, and
personal histories. They speak approximately 35 different languages. They
find faith in many different religions. Some of us are temporarily out of
our homes. Some of our families are hurting financially. Thankfully, all
of us have the chance for a bright future.
Our principal, Jill Miklausich, guides us to collaborate in learning and
problem solving. She encourages us to band together and reach for the stars.
Together our students of all colors and creeds, face adversity, and get
ready for tomorrow. Our school embraces the fearless sense of adventure
made famous by our namesake, Colonel John Glenn. When we make the call to
the International Space Station please know that our hearts and minds are
filled with excitement and infinite possibilities. At John Glenn, we
celebrate life!
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. How do you handle an acute illness like one that needs an operation or
immediate help?
2. What do you do in your free time if you have any?
3. What kind of medical testing does an astronaut have to go through to be
physically and mentally fit for duty?
4. What are the difficulties when it comes to being clean, eating food, and
engineering in space?
5. How important is team work to the mission of the ISS crew?
6. What is your favorite piece of research you have done and how is it
impacting our future?
7. When you go up in space, do you feel the loss of home or when you come
back, do you miss sleeping under the thousand stars?
8. How does the International Space Station benefit humanity?
9. Can people with disabilities go in space?
10. What happens if the space station breaks down?
11. Do you have any games or electronics you use?
12. Where could WiFi be in space and cellular connection for phones?
13. What is the best thing you've seen in space?
14. What was going through your mind during your first orbit?
15. Have you made any cool or new discoveries on the ISS?
16. How do you send written messages from Earth to 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,
David - AA4KN

Proud to inform that on Feb-20 15:45z LUSAT LO-19 on Orbit 141493 had
been heard with strong carrier on 437.125 +/- Doppler.
LUSAT had been in space last 27 years and still emits his CW carrier
un-modulated with 900 mW.
Now and then comes alive, it is useful to test reception and
demonstrate Doppler, check antennas, etc.
Try to listen, on http://amsat.innova-red.net/pass you will find easy
way to locate, receive and thanks if reported.

Well, after careful consideration I went with the Advanced Ar2 High
Performance 160w mast mount 70cm preamp. Maybe down the road I can get the
sister 2m preamp, but for now hopefully Ill be able to hear FO29 and other
sats with a 70cm downlink. Thanks everyone for all your emails and advice!
