preamps at the antennas for both 2 meters and 70 cms. powered through a
separate control line (not via coax) and some M2 antennas (pictures and more
details at my QRZ page: HERE <https://www.qrz.com/db/KF4FC>). I have a
sequencer with up to 5 control points available. It seems that our
implementation for sequencers is a bit different that most applications in
that we have the possibility of needing to:
>
> A) Transmit on 2 meters while listening on 70cms- i.e. 70 cm preamp on, 2
meter preamp off
> B) Transmit on 70 cms while listening on 2 meters. i.e. 2 meter preamp on,
70 cm preamp off
>
> and this can change rather rapidly if multiple opportunities for passes
are close. The way I am operating now is that I selectively turn on the
preamp that I need for each pass and turn the other off. This is working,
but even though I have rf sensing preamps, I do not want to chance
transmitting SSB into either preamp. I am only transmitting 30 watts
maximum and usually significantly less.
>
> The Kenwood TS-790A has an ?External Connector? on the back where I can
access the PTT as well as having pins that can tell me when either 2 meters
or 70 cms are being transmitted. All this said, it seems that I am in a bit
of catch 22 because even though I can separate the PTT and for instance use
a foot pedal to trigger the sequencer, the pins on the back of the rig will
only change their signal AFTER the transmission has already started, so this
signal is not helpful to determine which preamp to turn off and which to
turn on. I realize that I could have a manual switch to go back and forth
between using 2 meters and 70cms but that is essentially what I have now.
>
> I am sure that I am missing something that somebody out there will suggest
is very obvious. Help me understand how to implement a sequencer when we
have two frequencies that can be in use at one moment in time and easily
switch the next pass in an effort to make the station bulletproof so that I
don?t blow up preamps.

Message to US Educators
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station
Contact Opportunity
Call for Proposals
Proposal Window February 15 ? April 15, 2017
The Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) Program is
seeking formal and informal education institutions and organizations,
individually or working together, to host an Amateur Radio contact with a
crew
member on board the ISS. ARISS anticipates that the contact would be held
between January 1, 2018 and June 30, 2018. Crew scheduling and ISS orbits
will
determine the exact contact dates. To maximize these radio contact
opportunities, ARISS is looking for organizations that will draw large
numbers of
participants and integrate the contact into a well-developed education
plan.
The deadline to submit a proposal is April 15, 2017. Proposal information
and documents can be found at www.arrl.org/hosting-an-ariss-contact.
The Opportunity
Crew members aboard the International Space Station will participate in
scheduled Amateur Radio contacts. These radio contacts are approximately 10
minutes in length and allow students to interact with the astronauts through
a question-and-answer session.
An ARISS contact is a voice-only communication opportunity via Amateur
Radio between astronauts and cosmonauts aboard the space station and
classrooms and communities. ARISS contacts afford education audiences the
opportunity to learn firsthand from astronauts what it is like to live and
work in
space and to learn about space research conducted on the ISS. Students also
will have an opportunity to learn about satellite communication, wireless
technology, and radio science. Because of the nature of human spaceflight and
the complexity of scheduling activities aboard the ISS, organizations must
demonstrate flexibility to accommodate changes in dates and times of the
radio contact.
Amateur Radio organizations around the world, NASA, and space agencies in
Russia, Canada, Japan and Europe sponsor this educational opportunity by
providing the equipment and operational support to enable direct
communication between crew on the ISS and students around the world via
Amateur Radio.
In the US, the program is managed by AMSAT (Radio Amateur Satellite
Corporation) and ARRL (American Radio Relay League) in partnership with
NASA and
CASIS (Center for the Advancement of Science in Space).
More Information
Interested parties can find more information about the program at
www.ariss.org and www.arrl.org/ARISS.
For proposal information and more details such as expectations, proposal
guidelines and proposal form, and dates and times of Information Sessions go

Hello all,
Thanks for all the helpful comments on my earlier post!
Several folks mentioned the IC-9100 which looks like an excellent radio. I
left it off my list only because of the higher price-point which makes it
less approachable for some. Likewise with Flex. I wonder if ICOM will offer
some deals on the IC-9100 soon, when the IC-7610 comes out? It seems they
will compete at the same price point.
The points on SDR as the future are well-taken, but sometimes it's nice to
simply turn on a device and just have work, without fussing about with
computers and software (and I'm an IT guy, which is perhaps all the more
reason I think that way). I look forward to acquiring that elusive VHF/UHF
all-mode radio (even if it is an "ancient" one). ;-)
Thanks again & 73

Hello all,
Is it not hard times for new and prospective satellite operators (like
me) in terms of equipment choices, at least in terms of the "big three"?
(And, to be clear, I'm talking about current, in-production models only.)
I'm looking for an HF base/mobile radio, and also a VHF/UHF-only
all-mode base/mobile radio that I can use for the linear satellites but
- wait - there are no VHF/UHF-only all mode radios! That means I need to
buy a "shack in a box" but - wait - there are only two choices (at what
I will call moderate prices), the ancient TS-2000 and equally ancient
FT-857D. There is the new and somewhat more expensive FT-991A and,
although that sounds like a very good radio, for HF at that price point
I might prefer the IC-7300 but that would mean no satellite work.
I'm also looking for a portable HF QRP radio, and a portable radio I can
use for the linear satellites. Again the venerable but ancient FT-817ND
is pretty much the only game in town. As with the HF base radios above,
if I am only interested in HF QRP I would probably rather put my money
toward a KX2 or KX3 of newer design but, again, that would mean no
satellite work.
So as a new operator, to get into linear satellites it seems I am forced
to either (1) troll the swap meets for ancient gear; (2) buy new gear of
old design (which in my mind is even worse); or (3) buy new gear of
modern design that works for satellite and HF, but is not necessarily
the radio I would choose for HF alone.
I should add that the situation is not much better for HT/mobile radios
for the FM satellites, but at least there are some cost effective
workarounds including the less expensive Baofeng/Wouxun/Tytera radios
and their clones.
Thanks for indulging my shopping frustrations, and my inexperience, but
I have to think there are others new to the hobby that are having
similar thoughts. Do Amsat members see this as a problem?
Probably off to spend some new money on an old radio...

Maybe the new radios of old design are still on the market because there is
nothing wrong with their design and they still work well. Newer doesn't
always mean better.

Saint-Georges de l'Oyapock, French Guyana
Message-ID: <78FF13E09F8D4B818105D804BF80D53E@xxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at "School of Trois Paletuviers", Saint-Georges de l'Oyapock,
French Guyana on 23 Mar. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately
12:42 UTC. It is recommended that you start listening approximately 10
minutes before this time.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.
Interested parties are invited to listen in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. The
contact is expected to be conducted in English.
Inventory
Trois Pal?tuviers is a small Native people village of French Guyane, set
between the Amazonian forest and the majestic Oyapock River, natural border
with Brazil. It is accessed only by dugout and the journey takes place in
one hour. On site, no electricity during the day, internet and telephone
recently; But a quality of life preserved; Which in no way excludes projects
and achievements in order to help envisage the future in a dynamic and

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,

I posted this a couple of weeks ago on a Friday and it didn't get a
lot of views possibly because "Fridays are slow news days." I got
permission from the amsat-bb list owner to repost it.
It's a pretty cool video where I got a French student to translate a
French astronaut's answers to students in Belgium. The contact was
through K6DUE telebridge station in Maryland, which is why we were
able to hear the ISS talk to a school in Belgium from North Carolina.
