Hi guys. Tomorrow I will activate EK27 back home, if someone needs another
grid like EK37 I can activate in my step, they can write to my email. There
is no work plan for EK27 en route I will be able to notify Twitter when
possible ..

Got the CAT working on AGWPE, and I am able to send packets.
1. Packet Engine has two radioports and uses RTS for first and DTR for
second radioport. Check which goes where and will work.
2. Go to AGWPE Edit Radio Port, click on TNC COMMANDS tab, pick "LET ME
CONTROL" and adjust TX DELAY to 50 and TX TAIL to 25

A note of THANKS to all who responded.
The unit That I inherited, certainly still works,
After finding out that there are a few LVB Trackers just available,
I went ahead and ordered one as a backup / replacement.
Thanks again to all.

I gave up on AGWPE in frustration. It worked great with my IC-910H, I could
not get it to trigger the PTT switch on my Flex 5000, so I switched to the
UZ7HO modem included with UISS.
I am able to decode packets and I can trigger the PTT, but it is not being
received by any stations.
1. What mode should I be using on my Flex? FM simplex with 5 kHz
deviation is what I have selected.
2. What about the antenna? I am using an antenna with significant gain,
and this antenna was able to send packets with my IC-910H with ease.
3. Is there power out? Yes, measuring 60 watts.
It's something simple...any ideas?

Good day to my fellow chasers of space birds,
This Friday I will commence a great invasion of central Canada in an effort
to put rare grids on the satellites. This most glorious of trips will take
me as far as Flin Flon, MB in some rare (dare I say, never before
activated) DO grids (DO84/94 looks like about as far as it's gonna get this
trip, potentially DO85). After reaching Flin Flon I will be descending back
to reality via Saskatchewan. No exact plans as far as grids, all I can say
is that many rare ones will be along the path regardless of the actual
path. After re-entering the homeland, I hope to activate some rare DN land
stuff in the US. Again, no exact plan.
This will be the first use of my new call VE6NJH. Will probably using
CG6NJH a lot of the time. QSL on LoTW, if you need a paper card I'll be
getting some printed relatively soon.
Tracking as always on APRS NJ7H-9 and iridium share.garmin.com/gz.
73 and keep the power down,
Gabe

Make sure you don't have any audio processors, tone controls or filters
turned on such as DSP, noise blankers, etc. It needs to be clean untouched
audio to decode properly.

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

Please direct any questions to ariss@xxxx.xxx.

Message-ID: <58E68620.3020201@xxxxxxxxx.xxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
All:
My Yaesu FT-991a seems to have difficulty decoding certain 9600 baud
satellites. I've been able to decode GO-32 KISS frames, but have not
been able to decode other birds such as LO-74 which tend to transmit
shorter bursts compared to GO-32.
I'm not sure if this can be attributed to the course Doppler tuning that
occurs when using HRD's Satellite Tracking program or possibly a modem
parameter that needs to be set.
I've used UZ7HO's Soundmodem as well as an SCS PTC-III and oddly enough,
the SCS modem decodes GO-32 without a problem, but I haven't been able
to do so with the Soundmodem.
Any ideas? Thanks
