Hotspots, repeaters, terrestrial simplex\n(anything not satellite) should not be in 145.8-146.0 or 435-438 by\ninternational bandplan. Please QSY these radios ASAP. Please share to\nDMR, D-star, Fusion, P25 groups and similar, thank you!\"\n\nFor amateur operators in the U.S., FCC Part 97 has a bit to say\nabout the way we should operate in the 145.8-146.0 and 435-438 MHz\namateur satellite subbands. Regulations in many other countries are\nnot as detailed as those established by the FCC on how we should\noperate on different frequencies and bands. This includes where\nhotspots and similar systems used for digital voice modes (i.e., DMR,\nD-Star,\nC4FM/Fusion) and other technologies like EchoLink and IRLP, should\noperate.\n\nAuxiliary stations are defined at 97.3(a)(7):\n\n\"An amateur station, other than in a message forwarding system, that\nis transmitting communications point-to-point within a system of\ncooperating amateur stations.\"\n\nThis definition includes \"remote bases;\" the nodes for systems like\nEchoLink and IRLP; and hotspots used for digital-voice modes like D-\nStar, DMR, and Fusion/C4FM (among others); as well as stations using\nthese hotspots and nodes. Auxiliary stations are not allowed in the\n145.8-146.0 and 435-438 MHz satellite subbands per 97.201(b) - among\nother subbands in the 2m and 70cm amateur bands.\n\nRepeaters are defined at 97.3(a)(40) as:\n\n\"Repeater. An amateur station that simultaneously retransmits the\ntransmission of another amateur station on a different channel or\nchannels.\"\n\nSince most hotspots are operating on a single frequency, they would\nnot qualify as a repeater. Even if the hotspot operates like a\nrepeater as defined above, repeaters are not permitted to use\n145.5-146.0 MHz and 435-438 MHz per 97.205(b).\n\nBeyond these two sections, Part 97 also has 97.101(a): \"In all\nrespects not specifically covered by FCC Rules each amateur station\nmust be operated in accordance with good engineering and good amateur\npractice.\"\n\nWhether the hotspot is interfering with a satellite downlink in a\nparticular area, or it is interfering with the satellite uplink\naffecting a much larger area, this would not be good amateur practice.\n\nIn addition to subbands where hotspots are not permitted, 97.101(b)\nis also relevant:\n\n\"Each station licensee and each control operator must cooperate in\nselecting transmitting channels and in making the most effective use\nof the amateur service frequencies. No frequency will be assigned for\nthe exclusive use of any station.\"\n\nFrequencies used by satellites are usually incapable of being\nchanged, and have been registered with a regulator like the FCC and\nthe ITU.\nHotspots are usually frequency-agile, and the frequencies used by\nthose systems can be changed to avoid potential interference to\nsatellites and other stations.\n\nAnd all of this is in addition to local bandplans, which may already\nhave provisions for hotspots or simplex nodes.\n\n[ANS thanks Patrick Stoddard, WD9EWK, for the above information.] \n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nAMSAT Announces New Store on Zazzle\n\nAMSAT is pleased to announce a new storefront on Zazzle.

This means that our usual autonomous switching\nbetween transponder on in eclipse and high-power telemetry when in\nsunlight will no longer be effective!\n\nThis schedule was originally planned to provide a very strong\ntelemetry signal for schools to use during daylight hours and for\namateur operation at night (and also at weekends and over holidays).\n\nWe have already experienced a short period of full sunlight but this\ntime it looks like the spacecraft will be in this situation for more\nthan eight months until sometime in April next year.\n\nIn addition to the additional thermal effect that will occur during\nthis period, we also expect that the spin rate will increase. The\nreason for this effect is not yet fully understood but may be related\nto the amount of current flowing from the solar panels to the\nspacecraft bus being sufficient to cause a torque effect with the\nearth's magnetic field.\n\nWe have therefore decided to have AO73/FUNcube-1 initially operate\nfor alternate periods of one week in either safe or educational\nmodes. This should enable us to evaluate whether the currents do\naffect the spin rate. Safe mode provides low power telemetry and\neducation mode the usual high power telemetry. It will also enable an\nanalysis to see whether the satellite becomes hotter or cooler in\neach mode.\n\nThis will be a new experience for the spacecraft so the capture of\nthe largest possible amount of telemetry remains an important tool\nfor the team to have. We are very grateful to everyone who continues\nto upload the telemetry they have received to the Data Warehouse. It\nis invaluable.\n\nIn addition to AO73/FUNcube-1, the FUNcube-2 transponder on UKube-1\nremains operational and EO88/Nayif-1 continues to operate\nautonomously with the transponder on when in eclipse and high- power\ntelemetry in sunlight.\n\nLAST MINUTE UPDATE: AO73 is now in safe mode (low power beacon\nonly, no transponder). We have set this mode as the satellite is\nabout to enter a period of continuous sunlight (for about 9 months).\nThere is more information at https://funcube.org.uk/news/\n\nThe plan is to change to education mode (high power beacon) next\nFriday.\n\n[ANS thanks Jim, G3WGM and the FUNcube team for the above \ninformation.]\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nVUCC Awards-Endorsements for August 2018\n\nCALL 01Aug 01Sep\n \nN8RO 1051 1060 \nWI7P 829 835 \nWA5KBH 728 738 \nW5RKN 606 634 \nN6UK 568 626 \nN9EAT 428 550 \nWD9EWK 476 485 \nKE4AL 429 467 \nAA8CH 316 351 \nNS3L 325 350 \nW7QL 300 350 \nFG8OJ 200 253 \nN3GS 198 226 \nKE8FZT 200 225 \nN3CRT New 200 \nAC9E New 150 \nWW8W 103 128 \nAD0HJ New 100 \nN7NEV New 100 \nW4AQT New 100 \n\nIf you find errors or omissions. please contact me off-list at\n<mycall>@<mycall>.com and I'll revise the announcement.\n\nThis list was developed by comparing the ARRL .pdf listings for\nAugust 1, 2018 and September 1, 2018.

A new web-based\napp called NEN Now shows, in real time, simulations of the\ncomplicated maneuvers these antennas undergo to link with passing\nsatellites, following them from horizon to horizon as the data\nstreams to the ground.\n\n\"NEN Now opens a window to the public, sharing live updates about\nwhich of NASA's spacecraft are communicating with the Near Earth\nNetwork,\" said Barbara Adde, director of policy and strategic\ncommunications for the Space Communications and Navigation (SCaN)\nprogram office at NASA Headquarters.\n\n\"Curious about what NASA is studying? You can click on a link and\nfind out what research that spacecraft is collecting data for and\nsending down to Earth right at that moment.\"\n\nNot only will NEN Now help the public understand space-to-ground\ncommunications systems, but the tool will help technical and project\nmanagers monitor the status of the network in detail, providing\ninformation such as the actual position of the antennas' dishes.\n\nAt SCaN's request, Goddard modeled NEN Now after a similar app,\ncalled DSN Now, built by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in\nPasadena, California, for the Deep Space Network (DSN). The DSN\nprovides communications services for missions in deep space and is\nmanaged by JPL.\n\nRyan Turner, a ground system manager, had an idea to efficiently and\neffectively develop the NEN app at Goddard by leveraging the skills\nof college students and utilizing experienced engineers to provide\nguidance.\n\n\"We started with three interns, who worked with the public\nengagement team, NEN engineers and the GMSEC to lay out a prototype,\"\nTurner said.\n\nGMSEC is the Goddard Mission Services Evolution Center, which\ncreates data system solutions across multiple projects and\ndisciplines. \"It gave everyone a sense of what would be possible if\nwe created an operational version of the system.\"\n\nNaje Fields was one of the first interns on the project in summer\n2015. \"Our biggest challenge for the prototype phase was to figure\nout how to get the data from the real-time status server at [NASA's\nWallops Flight Facility in Virginia] to Goddard and into our app,\" \nshe said. She and her partners, Kierra Harrison and Wallace\nPhillips, used a number of networking and security techniques to make\nit happen.\n\nThe prototype might have been ambitious for three college interns to\ncomplete over the course of 10 weeks, but it was very well- received,\nallowing Turner to establish a year-round program and to take on more\ninterns in the following summers.\n\nThose groups have worked on multiple projects, including adding\ncommercial ground stations to NEN Now, implementing a NEN Now mobile\napp, designing the Space Network (SN) Now for Goddard's other\ncommunications network, and developing a 3D interface for NEN Now.\n\nBoth NEN Now and DSN Now have been incorporated into a larger app \ncalled SCaN Now. An additional application for SCaN's third network, \nthe Space Network, is also being created by this intern team, \nrounding out the real-time status display capability for all three \nof SCaN's communications networks. \nNEN Now is now available to the public at: \n\nSCaN Now\nhttps://scan-now.gsfc.nasa.gov\n\nNeN Now\nhttps://scan-now.gsfc.nasa.gov/nen\n\nNeN Home\nhttps://www.nasa.gov/directorates/heo/scan/services/networks/nen\n\nDSN Now\nhttps://eyes.nasa.gov/dsn/dsn.html\n\nDSN Home\nhttps://deepspace.jpl.nasa.gov/\n\n[ANS thanks NASA for the above information]\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nAMSAT Board of Director Elections Corrected Ballots Due \nSeptember 15, 2018\n\nCorrected ballots were mailed and members should have received them. \nThe new ballots, labeled \"CORRECTED BALLOT 7/20/2018\" are printed \non yellow-colored cardstock.\n\nUsing the Yellow Ballots, please vote for no more than three of the\n2018 candidates:\n\nTom Clark, K3IO\nMark Hammond, N8MH\nScott Harvey, KA7FVV\nBruce Paige, KK5DO\nPeter Portanova, W2JV\n\nCandidate biographies can be viewed at:\nhttps://www.amsat.org/bios2018/\n\nThe Directors positions will go to the three candidates receiving\nthe highest number of votes.
