(Bill)\nTynan, W3XO, announced,\n\"I have received your request for OSCAR Numbers for CubeSats QB50p1\nand QB50p2 and from everything I can determine these spacecraft meet\nall of the requirements necessary to receive OSCAR numbers.\n\n\"Therefore, by the authority vested in me by the AMSAT-NA President,\nI hereby confer the designation European OSCAR 79 to CubeSats QB50p1\nand European OSCAR 80 to CubeSat CubeSats QB50p2. These designations\ncan, of course, for convenience be shortened to EO-79 and EO-80.\n\nI, and the entire amateur satellite community, hope for successful\nmissions for both EO-79 and EO-80 and congratulate AMSAT-NL and the\nISIS team as well as  all who contributed to these new Amateur Radio\nsatellites for their success in building, testing and launching these\nnew OSCARs.\"\n\n[ANS Thanks Bill W3XO and AMSAT-NA for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nReception of the One Millionth Packet from FUNcube-1\n\nMany stations have been receiving the telemetry transmitted by\nFUNcube-1, which has now been in orbit for 221 days. The spacecraft,\nwhich has been operating nominally since launch, is providing on-\nboard health and science data for the many schools and colleges who\nare already participating in the project around the world.\n\nSince launch, data has been received by more than 650 stations\naround the world and today our online Data Warehouse received its one\nmillionth packet of information. The Warehouse is now storing more\nthan 256MB of telemetry which is available for educational and\nresearch use.\n\nWe have been successful in capturing almost 25% of all the telemetry\ntransmitted including almost all of the Whole Orbit Data. This\nsuccess is a great tribute to our designers of the Flight software,\nthe Dashboard programme and the matching Data Warehouse.\n\nWe are also immensely grateful to all the schools, colleges, radio\namateurs and other listeners who are providing this data and want to\nencourage everyone to continue to listen to FUNcube-1 and to upload\nthe data to the Warehouse. This will help enable the project to\ncontinue to provide a complete and current data set for analysis.\n\nWe would, of course, also love to have additional receiving stations\nin the FUNcube Ground Station Network. This applies especially to\nanyone near the poles or who is located on an island in the middle of\nocean. Their involvement would help us improve our rate of data\ncapture still further.\n\nOur records show that there were three stations who actually managed\nto upload the same one millionth packet to the Warehouse today. They\nare G0EID, OM3BC and DL3SER. If they could contact \"operations at\nfuncube.org.uk\" we will arrange them to send them a small prize to\nhonour their contribution to the project.\n\n[ANS thanks Graham G3VZV for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nWD9EWK - 2014 Field Day Report\n\nEven though I only worked the radios for a few hours on Saturday,\nthe 2014 Field Day was another fun time to be on the radio.  I had\ntwo objectives for this weekend - try to make a QSO with NA1SS,\nand try a new radio on HF - which I was able to do.  I was on some\nsatellite passes, making a couple of QSOs, which I'll submit to\nboth ARRL and AMSAT.\n\nKnowing that the ISS would be passing by within minutes of the\nstart of Field Day, I was set up in my back yard for that.  I used my\nnormal FM satellite setup (IC-2820H, Elk log periodic), with the\npower cranked down to 5W to fall in the 1B QRP classification I\nnormally operate for Field Day, and was ready to go. About 5\nminutes into the pass, and after hearing other stations' calls from\nNA1SS, I heard my call coming from there.  Within seconds, I was\ngetting e-mails, SMS messages, and tweets from friends who also\nheard that.  A nice way to start Field Day!  I listened to the rest of\nthe pass, and recorded it.  I was on the next ISS pass at 1952 UTC,\nhoping to hear anything from the ISS on 70cm (around 437.550\nMHz) while recording the 145.800 MHz downlink.  Lots of activity\non 2m just like the earlier pass, but nothing up on 70cm.   Did\nanyone hear anything from the ISS on 70cm during Field Day?\n\nA few hours later, with more shade in the back yard, I broke out the\nHF setup.  An FT-897D with autotuner and its internal battery packs,\nset to 5W transmit power, and a Buddipole portable dipole with its\nmast and tripod.  Before I started on the satellites in late 2005, I\nused to do a lot of portable HF operating, so it took no time to get\nthe antenna up and the radio ready to go.  Although I heard Field\nDay activity on most HF bands (10m was surprisingly quiet in the\nlate afternoon), I ended up working 15m and 6m SSB to get a few\nQSOs.\n\nI tried to work FO-29 during a western pass around sunset, but could\nnot get through with my normal SSB satellite setup - two FT-817NDs,\nElk log periodic.  Lots of activity, with some who sounded like they\nmay have been overpowering the transponder a bit.  Around 0400 UTC,\n9pm for me in Arizona, there was a western SO-50 pass where I was\nable to break through with my IC-2820H at 5W and Elk log periodic.\nLots of twisting the antenna around, trying to keep up with the\nsatellite and hear myself on the downlink. I made two QSOs there -\none that counted for QSO points and the satellite QSO bonus with\nVA7VW, and the other was to respond to W6KA calling me.  I did not\nscore the second QSO.  I heard two other stations calling me, but\ncould not get back to them and complete those QSOs with so many\nstations trying to get through.  Some were not using PL tones on the\nSO-50 uplink, which only made the situation worse.\n\nI also wanted to make an SSB satellite QSO, so I tried AO-73 about\nan hour later, at 0500 UTC.  A high pass for me, I was able to make a\nQSO with W5MSQ before another strong station overpowered the\ntransponder.  I was using my two FT-817NDs and Elk log periodic for\nthe SSB pass, staying with my normal SSB satellite configuration\ninstead of getting the FT-897D set up for SSB operation.  This was the\nlast QSO in my Field Day log.\n\nI have already sent off my QSL request for the NA1SS QSO.  Since I\nrecorded the audio from those two passes, I made slideshow videos of\nthem.  The first pass, or the 1815-1822 UTC portion I could hear, can\nbe found on YouTube:\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QC3l6NplbM\n\nI removed the first couple of minutes of my recording, since it only\nhad my calls to NA1SS, and one unreadable response from NA1SS.\nBy the way, did anyone else record this ISS pass?  Especially if you\nare on the west coast?  If so, please e-mail me directly.\n\nMy slideshow video of the later ISS pass (1953-1957 UTC) is at:\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxsIzal68VM\n\nThis was a shallow pass here, with maximum elevation of only 8\ndegrees, so this was a bit shorter than the earlier recording and\nslideshow video.\n\nI had the audio recorder sitting near the IC-2820H for the first pass,\nso it could pick up the speaker audio and my voice.  For the later\npass, I had a patch cable running between the speaker jack on the\nTH-D72A HT and the mic jack on the recorder, since I was not\nplanning to work the later pass on 2m.  I had my Elk log periodic\nantenna routed through a diplexer, so the 2m side was going to the\nHT and the 70cm side to the IC-2820H, in the hopes of working\nNA1SS on 70cm and recording the audio on 145.800 MHz.\n\nAnother summary of my Field Day activity, including some photos,\ncan be seen at:\n\nhttp://www.arrl.org/soapbox/view/8943\n\nI'm hoping to get out of town for next year's Field Day, which is\nwhat I normally do.  It is fun to work with a portable setup, but it\nwould be better if the outside temperature was not as hot as it\nwas in Phoenix on Saturday afternoon (108F/42C at one point,\nin the shade of my back yard!).\n\n[ANS thanks Patrick WD9EWK for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nAMSAT Field Day Satellite Contact Summary Sheet Due July 14\n\nAMSAT Director Contests and Awards, Bruce Paige, KK5DO says do not\nforget to turn in your summary sheets in time so that your group can\nbe counted in AMSAT field day.

Ham operator, Jim Reicher\ncomments ... \" I bet the boys could be heard up in orbit even without a\nradio when Reid answered our call!\"\n\nField Day is held annually during the 4th  weekend of June and is\nsponsored by the American Radio Relay League or ARRL. The main\npurpose of Field Day is to allow ham radio operators a chance to\npractice their emergency response capabilities and serves as a\ncontest for Field Day stations to contact as many other Field Day\nstations as possible within a designated 24 hour period.\n\n\n[ANS thanks ARISS-I and Dave AA4KN for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nSatellite Operation From Saint Pierre and Miquelon\n\nEric, KV1J, returns to Insel Miquelon (NA-032, DIFO FP-002 WLOTA\n1417, Grid GN17) from July 5th to the 15th to operate as FP/KV1J.\n\nQRV on 160-6m in SSB, RTTY, and some CW. He plans to follow the MUF\non the bands and pay particular attention to 6m.
