Hi All,
Following is my tentative schedule for Saturday April 1st. Once again,
please get in touch with me if my schedule hasn't given your area the
coverage you were hoping for. Let me know your AOS and the proposed
satellite and I'll see if I it will work from here.
Note:
1. [Overlap] means the next satellite pass begins before the current
pass ends. The plan is to drop AO-73 in time to make AOS for FO-29.
Likewise with FO-29 and EO-79.
2. [CQ Europe!] means I hope you guys in Europe are reading this! :-)

Today's launch was good.
The first stage has successfully landed on the recovery barge, making
the first time that a refurbished SpaceX booster has been flown and
returned. Unfortunately, the video feed of when it happened was lost.
Meanwhile, the second stage is well on its way.
Well done!

I worked for SES for 18 years. My peers still working at SES were very
nervous. But very happy now. SES-20 is in transfer orbit. They have two
more burns to do before getting into geostationary orbit. $150M satellite
launches are exciting!

Hi!
I have updated my plan for the next 3 days, driving up to Las
Vegas for the NVCON convention and other non-convention radio
operating in southern Nevada and northwestern Arizona. The
plan is...
Friday, 31 March - from 1600 or 1730 UTC until 1930 UTC,
working from DM25xg/DM35ag grid boundary, north of
I-40 in Kingman AZ.
Friday night (1 April, UTC time) - from around 0230-0330
UTC until at least 0530 UTC, working from DM26xt/DM36at
grid boundary, east of I-15 freeway in NW Arizona and
east of Mesquite NV.
Saturday and Sunday, 1-2 April - during the daytime,
demonstrations from the NVCON convention in Las
Vegas NV in grid DM26.
Sunday, 2 April - from sometime around 2000-2200 UTC
into the evening, working from the DM24wx/DM25wa
grid boundary, along the I-40 freeway frontage road,
about 15 miles/25km south of Kingman AZ.
There may be a chance on Saturday evening (2 April, on the
UTC clock) or Sunday (2 April) morning from the DM25/DM26
grid boundary, south of the NVCON convention in the Las
Vegas area. I will try to post those plans here on the -BB,
and will definitely post that to my @xxxxxx Twitter feed:
http://twitter.com/WD9EWK
Although I try to update my log in Logbook of the World
quickly, please be patient. Some of the spots I will visit
may not have good coverage for my mobile phone, and I will
be looking to drive a lot in the next 72 hours or so.
I will hit the road Friday morning, and my TH-D72A will
squawk WD9EWK-9 on the APRS network:
http://aprs.fi/WD9EWK-9
APRS coverage for most of my drive to Las Vegas should be
decent. I'm not sure how well it will cover me tomorrow
night near the DM26/DM36 grid boundary, so looking at my
Twitter feed may be the best way to know when I reach these
spots.
73!

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
to http://www.arrl.org/hosting-an-ariss-contact.
Please direct any questions to ariss@xxxx.xxx.

Just to thank Tsniimash and the sponsors of the Shadow-beacon experiment on
the ISS for the handsome cerificate signed by Cosmonaut Oleg Kotov, Head of
the Center for manned programs of Tsniimash, which I have just received today.
I think that everyone who registered and posted reports will get theirs in
due course.

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
