Whether tuning blind or with full SDR vision, transmitting without listening
to assess the situation is massively counterproductive. As noted, it
disrupts the on-going communication and isn?t any more likely to get a
response. HF, VHF, or SATs it all works the same.

AMSAT Fox Series Launch Schedule Update
The launches of AMSAT satellites Fox-1Cliff and Fox-1D have been
rebooked from
the original Spaceflight Formosat-5/Sherpa mission aboard a SpaceX
Falcon 9 on
to two separate new launches.
Fox-1D will now ride to orbit on an Indian PSLV vehicle scheduled to
launch from
Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, India in late 2017.
Fox-1Cliff will launch on Spaceflight?s SSO-A dedicated rideshare
mission aboard
a SpaceX Falcon 9 scheduled to launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base in
California in late 2017 or early 2018.
These moves will serve to expedite the launch of these two satellites,
both of
which carry an amateur radio U/v FM repeater and an experimental L/v FM
repeater. The satellites also carry scientific experiments, from
university
partners Penn State, Vanderbilt University ISDE, Virginia Tech, and
University
of Iowa.
In addition to the launch of Fox-1Cliff and Fox-1D, AMSAT is awaiting the
launches of RadFxSat and RadFxSat-2. RadFxSat is currently manifested
for launch
on August 29, 2017 aboard the ELaNa XIV mission, as a secondary payload
with the
Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS)-1 on a Delta II from Vandenberg Air
Force
Base, California. RadFxSat-2 will be launched by Virgin Galactic on their
LauncherOne air launch system from Mojave, CA on the ELaNa XX mission no
earlier
than December 2017.

ND9M Satellite Gear in VQ917 Chagos Islands
VQ917, CHAGOS ISLANDS. Jim, ND9M (VQ96JC), from Diego Garcia Island
(AF-006) informs OPDX on March 14th, "Well, the local licensing office
came through for me again. The VQ917JC license I asked for just came
through here this afternoon." So start looking for Jim to be on the air
signing as VQ917JC. Jim told OPDX he will not make an effort on 60m at
this time. His operating hours are still limited to 1200-1600z max which
doesn't do much good for the NA/SA ops. He states that he will probably
focus on 30, 20, and 17 meters just to get VQ9 into some logs. Jim also
mentioned he did bring his satellite equipment. QSL via his home call-
sign. Look for more details to be forthcoming.
HH8, HAITI. Doug, KD8CAO, was active as HH8/KD8CAO from Jacmel, Haiti
(FK38rf), on both satellite and the HF bands between March 19-23rd.
The primary purpose of Doug's travel to Haiti involved missions work
(he and his team installed a solar array to power Radio Lumiere's
FM broadcast station in Jacmel. QSL via direct w/SASE and/or LoTW
(upload upon return to USA).

Ex-Alta-1 Alberta Canadia Cubesat Set to Launch
Ex-Alta-1, the first CubeSat satellite mission from the University of
Alberta?s
AlbertaSat team, is set to launch on an Atlas V rocket from the Cape
Canaveral
Air Force Station in Florida. The launch will be streamed via NASA Live
and the
United Launch Alliance.
The cubesat will make a brief pit stop aboard the International Space
Station
before being deployed into low Earth orbit to begin monitoring space
weather.
Ex-Alta-1 is part of the international QB50 project, which involves
cubesats
designed and built at universities around the world, representing 15
countries
from five continents. The cubesats carry complementary science payloads
that
will study space weather and the lower thermosphere for a period of nine
to 18
months.
After seven years and countless hours contributed by more than 50 team
members
(including undergraduate and graduate students as well as faculty members),
measuring roughly the size of a loaf of bread and built with financial
support
from more than 600 crowd-funded donors as well as the Canadian Space
Agency, Ex-
Alta-1?s launch marks the beginning of a new era of space exploration for
Alberta. Not only did the team build the first ever made-in-Alberta
satellite,
AlbertaSat is also one of the first Canadian universities to put a
satellite
into space.
The University of Alberta participated in the first Canadian Satellite
Design
Challenge (CSDC), prior to focusing its efforts on the QB50 mission, and
many
members from the Ex-Alta-1 team are competing in the current CSDC. On
behalf of
the Canadian Satellite Design Challenge, and all the teams participating, I
would like to send my congratulations to the entire AlbertaSat team, and
hope
that the launch, deployment, and mission of the Ex-Alta-1 cubesat will be
successful.
The Ex-Alta 1 Satellite has the following science objectives:
1. Serve as a platform for the In Orbit Demonstration (IOD)
of a digital fluxgate magnetometer designed at the University
of Alberta.
2. Address multi-point space plasma physics with data from
the QB50 constellation using the Langmuir probe common payloads
and the digital fluxgate magnetometer.
3. Take part in the QB-50 string-of-pearls constellation for
in-situ measurements of the lower thermosphere to build an
accurate model.
A downlink of 436.705 MHz has been coordinated employing
9k6 GMSK using the published Cubesat Space Protocol and the
QB50 whole orbit data specifications.

I'm looking for a filter suggestion to reduce the third harmonic (435

a simple 435MHz quarter wave stub?

The first question I would ask is if 100w is really necessary. After that,
you may want to look into using a diplexer as a low pass filter or find a
dedicated 2m LPF.

You might find a surplus commercial 160 MHz Low Pass Filter in the used
market. That would work just fine for what you are looking for. I also
like Mike's idea of using a duplexer like the Diamond MX-72H. The unused
port will need to be terminated with a 50 ohm dummy load.

A mobil diplexer will give you 60 dB of isolation between uhf and
vhf.should be more than enough even at 100 w.I have used them with both the
Ft847 and IC 910 with zero desense even when using gaasfet preamps at the
antennas on both bands.

Paul,
As mentioned, you can use a commercial diplexer, or split it by making
yourself a lpf for 2m
and a hpf for 70cm,easy and cheap.

An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at Council of State Science Supervisors, Los Angeles, CA
on 29 Mar. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 18:03 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 OR4ISS and IK1SLD. The contact
should be audible over Italy 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.
The Los Angeles Unified School District: Local District South, Los Angeles,
California
at
The Council of State Science Supervisors (CSSS) Annual Conference, Los
Angeles, California
CSSS is the only professional science organization whose members have direct
accountability to the state government agencies given the constitutional
authority for education. Each of these supervisors plays a key role in
directing efforts at improving school science and ensuring excellence and
equity in science education in their states. This partnership with ARISS is
a way to showcase the importance of space education and create enthusiasm
among state leaders that can be shared with teachers across the nation. CSSS
partnered with students from the Los Angeles Unified School District, The
Jordan-Locke network comprised of 16 elementary schools for this event.
Participants in the ARISS contact include 6th grade students from the 92nd,
93rd, and 96th elementary schools. The District demonstrates that all
children can achieve their highest potential when the conditions for
learning are at an optimum by integrating project based learning into the
academic achievement of student
s in all subjects. All schools are located in Watts or South Central Los
Angeles and consist of a predominantly Latino and African American Student
population with poverty rates in the 95-100%
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. In Science class we learned that it takes a tremendous amount of energy
and speed to escape Earth's gravity. Can you tell us how you felt as you
were climbing upward through Earth's Atmosphere?
2. Reentering Earth can be very dangerous for astronauts. Can you please tell
me what steps do you follow when reentering the Earth's atmosphere?
3. In Los Angeles, there are many street lights at night that prevent us from
seeing many stars in the sky, but when we went camping in the mountains we
saw more stars. Now that you are in space, can you see even more
stars than we see here on Earth?
4. In Science class we are learning about germs and how fast they can spread.
Do germs multiply as fast in space as they do on Earth?
5. Is there something in space that you did, that you will never forget?
6. Were you afraid to go to space?
7. Is there a problem with space junk? If so how severe is it?
8. What is your purpose for being in space today?
9. We know that in space there is zero gravity. What is the proper procedure
for eating in space so that your liquids or food does not float away or
damage any equipment?
10. What activity do you like doing the most while in space and why?
11. How hard is it for you to settle in space, leave your family, and
communicate with them?
12. How long does it take to become a professional astronaut?
13. We recently read your biography and noticed that you accomplished so much
here on Earth. Can you tell us how your achievements on Earth help you
complete your missions on the International Space Station?
14. Have any of the solar panels on the ISS been damaged by space debris? If
so, please tell me how you were able to repair it.
15. If you were stuck in space, what are the 5 most important things you
would need to survive? Explain why.
16. I read that you are very athletic. Have you found any new health problem
besides, the weakening of muscles, while living on the International
Space Station?
17. What was the most important/amazing/beautiful thing in space you ever
saw?
18. Have you seen anything in space that scared you or confused you?
19. Which planets (other than Earth) do you see most often as you are
orbiting in the ISS? Do you have a favorite planet? Why is it your
favorite?
20. What is the longest time you have been in space?
21. What is the most dangerous situation that you have experienced on the
International Space Station?
22. What activities do you do while up in space in your free time?
23. Have you thought of teaching anyone about how to be an astronaut?
24. Your biography shows that you have such a great life on Earth. Can you
tell us what convinced you to go to 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,

I recorded some data being sent via FO-29 today approximately 16:21
UTC. Very strong signal.
If you skip to about 6 minutes, 44 seconds into this recording you will hear
it:

Afterwards you can listen to a pileup of stations working UT1FG/MM.
I can email you the MP3 if you'd like.

The last couple of days EO-88's telemetry has been uplinking to FO-29 in
passes over the US.

Over the last couple of months, I've had a telemetry type signal?
come on top of my downlink on FO29 and force me to QSY
so I could continue my roving QSOs. Maybe it was EO88???
