Hi Matthew,
I feel this could be related to the "Ribbon Cable contact issue ". There is
one ribbon connector behind the S meter which goes to one of the boards.
Disconnect the cable by pulling on the connector socket clean the pins on
the cable with a rubber eraser (soft) and fix back the connector. ??73

Yes, I do. Interestingly, I have not had any problems with FM in
either mode J or B. The other day I worked AO-85 successfully, and
immediately switched to EO-79, 2m SSB downlink. I heard no telemetry
or anything else. Then I pointed the antenna over towards some nearby
powerlines, which normally create a lot of annoying static on 2m -
nothing heard. I removed the coax from the 2m jack, and observed a
drop in the noise level (very slight), reconnected the coax and
checked over towards the power lines again, with the same result. I
wasn't hearing anything on 2m SSB, after I had, minutes before, had no
issues hearing on 2m FM.
I'm glad I have other radios to use in the meantime, while I try to
figure this out :-)

Thanks to KB1PVH for my first QSO on LilacSat-1. It's really not that
tough if you follow the steps to get the Linux live CD image up and
running.
My own audio quality was poor, either due to signal strength or lack
of Doppler compensation on the uplink. I'll have to try tweaking that,
but it was fun. KB1PVH's signal was easily readable on the 15 degree
maximum elevation pass.
My setup for receiving the downlink was an Arrow antenna, preamp,
FUNcube Dongle Pro+, and a 4 year old Dell laptop running the Linux
Live CD. I used my FT-817 on the uplink so I could make fine
adjustments on the uplink frequency.
I have read lots of comments from individuals wanting to try something
new. This certainly qualifies! LilacSat-1 was deployed from the ISS,
so it will have a limited orbital lifetime. Work it while it's up
there.
For more information on how to set it all up, K0FFY has prepared a
nice guide. http://adamwhitney.net/working-lilacsat-1/

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
13 US Schools/Groups Move Into Phase 2 of ARISS Selections
June 19, 2017 - The American Radio Relay League (ARRL) and the Radio Amateur
Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), US partners of Amateur Radio on the
International Space Station (ARISS), are pleased to announce the
schools/organizations selected to move into Phase 2 for ARISS ham radio time
slots in the first half of 2018. A review team selected 13 proposals after
the recent proposal window closed. The 13 groups will go forward into Phase
2, the submitting of an equipment plan to host a scheduled amateur radio
contact with crew orbiting on the International Space Station.
The primary goal of the ARISS program is to engage young people in Science,
Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) activities, and raise their
awareness of space exploration, amateur radio, communications, and related
areas of study and career possibilities.
The ARISS Team anticipates that NASA will be able to provide scheduling
opportunities for these 13 US host organizations during the January-June
2018 time period. These groups must now complete an equipment plan that
demonstrates their ability to execute the ham radio contact. Once their
equipment plan is approved by the ARISS technical team, the final selected
schools/organizations will be scheduled as their availability and
flexibility match up with the scheduling opportunities offered by NASA.
The schools and organizations are:
Bellefonte Area Middle School
Bellefonte PA
Central Islip Union Free School District
Central Islip NY
Central Magnet Match & Science Elementary School
Batesville AR
Freeport Public Schools
Freeport NY
Indian Trails Middle School
Winter Springs FL
Mill Springs Academy
Alpharetta GA
Moore Square AIG/GT Magnet School
Raleigh NC
Mooreland Heights Elementary
Knoxville TN
Museum of Science & Technology w/Danforth Middle School

ABOUT ARISS
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative
venture of the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American
Radio Relay League (ARRL) and the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA) in the United States, and other international space
agencies and international amateur radio organizations around the world. 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 from amateur radio clubs and coordination from the
ARISS team, the ISS crew members speak directly with large group audiences
in a variety of public forums such as school assemblies, science centers and
museums, Scout camporees, jamborees and space camps, where students,
teachers, parents, and communities learn about spa
ce, space technologies and Amateur Radio.

A few weeks ago I posted the following message to the AMSAT-BB. The
situation has definitely improved, but it is still happening. Just a few
minutes ago at 2044Z, the dreaded mode switch was triggered again. It
appeared that a station was trying to ?find himself? while running much more
power than necessary, and ...

Subject: [amsat-bb] Be kind to our old lady AO-7
Lately, AO-7 has spontaneously switched out of Mode B during passes over the
US and probably other places. Since AO-7?s batteries are not functioning, it
relies totally on its solar cells, which have limited capacity. As more
users are online, and especially when one or more users are using more than
the minimum necessary uplink power, the power system will fail and cause a
switch out of Mode B. I have saved a FlexRadio waterfall display of four
passes from around 2200Z from the four previous days. In three out of four
passes, just before the unexpected mode switch, a strong CW signal popped up
around 145.950 MHz. AO-7 switched out of Mode B seconds thereafter. I can?t
say for sure it was the cause but it happened three days in a row. Today?s
pass had only one user, a low-power digital signal which appeared briefly,
and no mode switch occurred. Screen shot JPG?s are available via the
following link.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-Jez46MB5RaMzV0RlhmWHNWcjg/view?usp=sharing
To minimize the chance of causing a switch out of Mode B, use the very
minimum uplink power necessary. Even if a mode switch is not triggered, too
much uplink power will cause distortion over the entire passband. AO-7 has
been a great satellite, and she deserves our tender loving care. USE THE
LOWEST POSSIBLE UPLINK POWER!!!

Hi my friends,
I'm afraid I'm wrong, but it seems to me that the catalog number,
therefore the tle of Zhuhai-1 1 (CAS-4A) and Zhuhai-1 2 (CAS-4B) are
maybe inverted.
Listening the CW beacon, the Doppler shift correction with fresh tle
for Zhuhai-1 2 (CAS-4B) seems correct, but for his brother nr 1
(CAS-4A), it looks like the bird is a bit ahead the prediction : at the
beginning of the pass we have to decrease manually the frequency to
chase the bird, at about the half of the pass it's the opposite, we have
to hold a little bit the frequency shift correction.
No ?
Have a nice day all !

All,
In commemoration of our 20th anniversary, the ARISS team is planning to
transmit a set of 12 SSTV images that capture the accomplishments of ARISS
over that time. While still to be scheduled, we anticipate the SSTV
operation to occur around the weekend of July 15. We are planning for at
least a 2 day operation, but are working for a potential longer operation.
Note that all of this tentative and may change based on crew scheduling and
ISS operations.
Starting with our first meeting in November 1996, our joint operations on
Mir, becoming the first operational payload on ISS in November 2000 to our
1103rd school contact (so far), ARISS' accomplishments have been tremendous.
We have touched the lives of many and inspired and educated countless
students to pursue science, technology, engineering and math careers.
Please stay tuned as more details on our SSTV event will be communicated in
the coming weeks. Please spread the word. And think about how you can get
students in your area involved in capturing these images. We would love to
hear your stories on how that goes.

On Friday (6/23) I'll be heading back to DN31 by way of DN71-61-51-41 and
QRV on request for any of those grids.
Plan is to be on the road before 1200 UTC, Wyoming around 1430 ...
Thought I'd do the zeroes on the way home (which will be MONDAY 6/26),
starting in DN40.
In addition to DN50, I might just return to the DN60/DM69 grid line that
Pam and I did on Fathers Day.
Current plan is to leave the QTH of KB7QG around 1400 UTC and drive US 40.
Again, I'm QRV for linear, FM or Packet ... just send me an email.
If you miss this trip, Pam and I will be headed back (again) over the
Fourth of July weekend.
