In 1998 we just did not have the resources\nin place to handle the hundreds of images coming in\nevery day.  As a result only a small select on of the\nimages were ever posted for public enjoyment.\n\n73 Miles WF1F MAREX-MG\n\n[ANS thanks Miles, WF1F, for the above information]\n\n/EX\n\n\nSB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-076.03\nAO-16 Report\n\nAMSAT News Service Bulletin 076.03\n   From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.\nMarch 16, 2008\nTo All RADIO AMATEURS\nBID: $ANS-076.03\n\nThe AO-16 Command Team invites radio amateurs to continue to use\nthe voice mode of operations.  Mark, N8MH says, \"The plan is to\ncontinue this mode of voice operations until further notice.\"\n\nAO-16 has been in full sunlight (no eclipse periods at all) for\nseveral months. That is about to change later this month!  Short\neclipse periods will begin at the end of March and will increase\nsteadily until early July--at which point the eclipse periods will\nincrease to about 26 minutes each orbit.  We'll have to watch this\nold bird and its batteries as the eclipse periods increase.\n\nThe S-band beacon is not operational at this time. The exact\nstatus of the S-band transmitter remains unknown.\n\nThe AO-16 Command Team has updated the weekly satellite report\nentry for this satellite:\n\nAO-16 PACSAT\nCatalog number: 20439\nLaunch Date: January 22, 1990\n\nStatus: TESTING - VOICE\nCurrent Mode:  V/U\n\nUplink:\n145.900 MHz RESERVED\n145.920 MHz FM VOICE\n145.940 MHz RESERVED\n145.960 MHz RESERVED\n\nDownlink:  437.026 MHz USB VOICE\n\n[1200-baud PSK-MBL Telemetry Only]\n\nMode-S Beacon: 2401.1428 MHz [No Future Operations Planed]\n\nMode and Antenna Polarization:\nU: RC  437.050 MHz RHCP\n    PSK 437.026 MHz LHCP\nV: Linear\n\n[ANS thanks Mark, N8MH, for the above information]\n\n/EX\n\n\nSB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-076.04\nSatellite Shorts\n\nAMSAT News Service Bulletin 076.04\n   From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.\nMarch 16, 2008\nTo All RADIO AMATEURS\nBID: $ANS-076.04\n\n#1.  AMSAT and TAPR will again have a combined Banquet during the\n2008 Dayton Hamvention.  Unfortunately the Air Force is no longer\noffering the museum for non-military events.  The 2008 AMSAT/TAPR\nBanquet will be Friday night, May 16 at the Kohler Presidential\nBanquet Center in Kettering, OH. Banquet times, the menu and the\ncost will be announced shortly, but all are expected to be similar\nto past banquets.

But most of them were in Spanish.  I have translated them into\nEnglish, you can find the following issues:\n\n- The CJU antenna. It was designed by EB4DKA and EA4CYQ to improve the\nUHF reception with your HT, it is thought to uplink with your VHF mobile\nstation.  You will receive the UHF downlink in the same way a fix\nsatellite station.\n\n- The IOio antenna. It was designed by EA4CYQ to work V/U and U/V\namateur satellites with an HT.  It has an amazing performance, it is\neven better than the Arrow antenna in some features.\n\n- A dual band portable yagui antenna. This is a very well known antenna\ninto the amateur satellites world.  Here you can find how to build it\nwith normal stuff and an impressive performance.\n\n- The EGGBEATER II and TPM II antennas.  They were designed by Jerry\nK5OE. In this article I tell my experience at the beginning in the\namateur satellites world and all the vicissitudes to work amateur\nsatellites from my shack with the minimal equipment.  Here you will find\nall the details to build these fantastic antennas.\n\n- The 2.4GHz DISH ANTENNA.  Taking advantage of my AO-40 experience I\ncould go more deeply into the microwaves world.  Here you can find all\nthe details to build two different 2.4GHz dish feed systems, which you\nwill be able to use in wireless terrestrial communications.\n\n- The LINEAR TRANSPONDERS.  A lot of amateur satellites use this system.\nThis article will help you to understand how they work.\n\n- HF or SATELLITES?.  I try to demonstrate with this article that a\nsatellite fix station is at least as good as an HF station.  You will\nget the same performance with small antennas and low power out.\n\n- The DATA CONNECTOR.  This connector has much more possibilities than\nto be hooked to a TNC.  In this article I study its features and I\npropose to use it with a PC soundcard, to receive meteorological\nsatellites and I even propose to build a cross band repeater.  You will\nbe surprised about its possibilities.\n\n- CIRCULAR POLARIZATION.  If you want to know more about this kind of\npolarization and you want to see a comparative of VHF and UHF circular\npolarized commercial antennas, you should read this article.\n\n- TRANSCEIVERS TO WORK SATELLITES.  If you are thinking about setting up\na fix satellite station, here you can find all the transceivers in the\nmarket and combinations between them to be successful.\n\n\n- THE EA4CYQ SHACK.  Here I describe my shack, perhaps it could be\nuseful as a reference if you are thinking about setting up one.\n\n- THE EA4CYQ LOG.  If you have contacted with my station between June\n1.996 and March 2.008, here you can find it.  It is in call sign\nalphabetical order.  We will upload it in the near future.\n\nYou can find them at the following Webs due to the generosity of Pedro\nEB4DKA and Rodolfo EA4CAX:\n\nhttp://eb4dka.laserenadigital.com (also www.eb4dka.tk ).  This Web is\ndevoted to ham satellites and Pedro has an impressive collection of\nphotos, videos and interesting articles.  He is an authority working in\nportable conditions.\n\nhttp://personales.ya.com/ea4cax/ Rodolfo is specialized in LEO and\nGeostationary meteorological satellites.\n\nO hope you enjoy this articles devoted to promote the amateur satellites.\n\nJuan Antonio\[email protected]\n73s\n----------\nBest 73 from Spain\nPedro EB4DKA\[email protected]\n\n\n[ANS thanks Pedro, EB4DKA,  for the above information]\n\n/EX\n\n\nSB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-076.07\nARISS Status - 10 March 2008\n\nAMSAT News Service Bulletin 076.07\n   From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.\nMarch 10, 2008\nTo All RADIO AMATEURS\nBID: $ANS-076.07\n\n\n\n1.\tLycée de la Borde Basse Contact Successful\n\nAn Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) contact with\nLycée de la Borde Basse in Castres, France took place on Wednesday,\nMarch 5. ESA astronaut Léopold Eyharts, FX0STD/KE5FNO, answered 10\nquestions posed to him by as many students. A representative from the\nESA Education Office gave a presentation to the school and a\nphotographer was present to cover this event.  The contact audio was fed\ninto the EchoLink AMSAT (101 377) and JK1ZRW (277 208) servers,\nreceiving 7 connections from 6 countries.  La Depeche du Midi ran a Web\nstory on the event. The article is written in French. See:\nhttp://www.ladepeche.fr/article/2008/03/06/440113-Castres-Les-lyceens-en-direct-avec-l-espace.html\n\n2.\tARISS Face to Face Meeting to be Held in Moscow\n\nThe Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) team will\nmeet in Moscow, Russia this summer for its annual Face to Face Meeting.\nDelegates will arrive on July 15 for the July 17 -18 meeting. Plans are\nongoing.\n\n3.\tARISS Crew Debrief Session\n\nOn Friday, March 7, a crew debrief was held with astronaut Dan Tani,\nKD5DXE. The Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS)\nteam received feedback on the ARISS radio system onboard the ISS.\n\n4.\tAstronaut Training Status\n\nTwo Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) training\nsessions are planned for astronauts Nicole Stott, KE5GJN, and Sandy\nMagnus, KE5FYE, with Houston area school, Westbrook Intermediate. The\ntraining sessions, which are terrestrial-based amateur radio contacts\nusing ARISS-equivalent equipment, are planned for Thursday, March 13 at\napproximately 14:50 and 15:15 UTC. Audio is expected to be fed into IRLP\nand EchoLink servers. Magnus is slated to be a crewmember of Expedition\n17/18, flying to the ISS on STS-126 in September 2008. Stott, a member\nof the Expedition 19 crew, will fly on STS-128 in May 2009.\n\n5.\tARRL Article on AMSAT, ARISS\n\nThe American Radio Relay League (ARRL) ran a Web story covering the 2008\nplans of the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT).  The Amateur\nRadio on the International Space Station (ARISS) educational outreach\nprogram and SuitSat-2 are included in this web story.
