ANS publishes\nnews related to Amateur Radio in Space including reports on the activities\nof a worldwide group of Amateur Radio operators who share an active\ninterest in designing, building, launching and communicating through analog\nand digital Amateur Radio satellites.\n\nThe news feed on http://www.amsat.org publishes news of Amateur Radio in\nSpace as soon as our volunteers can post it.\n\nPlease send any amateur satellite news or reports to: ans-editor [at]\namsat.org\n\nYou can sign up for free e-mail delivery of the AMSAT News Service\nBulletins via the ANS List; to join this list see:\nhttps://mailman.amsat.org/postorius/lists/ans.amsat.org/\n\nIn this edition:\n\n* Contacts Completed Successfully Through AO-109\n* Registration Now Open for AMSAT Space Symposium\n* 2021 AMSAT Board of Directors Election Being Held\n* AMSAT Awards Update\n* ARISS News\n* Upcoming Satellite Operations\n* Hamfests, Conventions, Maker Faires, and Other Events\n* Satellite Shorts From All Over\n\n\nANS-234 AMSAT News Service Weekly Bulletins\n\nTo: All RADIO AMATEURS\nFrom: Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation\n712 H Street NE, Suite 1653\nWashington, DC 20002\n\nDATE 2021 Aug 22\n\n\nContacts Completed Successfully Through AO-109\n\nSeveral amateurs have reported successful operation through the AO-109\nsatellite, even though the satellite's power output has been determined to\nbe less than 10 milliwatts.\n\nCarlos Cardon, W7QL in DN40, completed a contact with Dave Beumer, W0DHB in\nDN70, on August 12 using FT4. They repeated with additional QSOs on August\n15 and 18. Also on August 15, W7QL completed a contact with Alan Bowker,\nWA6DNR in CM87 using FT4. Further, W0DHB and Mark Johns, K0JM in EN35,\ncompleted an FT4 QSO through the satellite on August 18, and repeated with\na second QSO on August 19.\n\nCarlos noted, \"Based upon our testing the past couple of days, I think FT4\nQSOs should be consistently achievable on this satellite.\"\n\nThese contacts have been an extension of digital mode experiments via\nsatellite involving a larger number of stations, as reported earlier and in\ngreater detail in the May/June 2020 issue of The AMSAT Journal.\n\nThe stations involved have been fairly typical satellite setups without\nexotic additions. W7QL reports \"using my IC-9700 (in Data mode, full power)\nand LEO-Pack antenna, with SatPC32 and WSJT-X.\" W0DHB, WA6DNR, and K0JM are\nusing FlexRadio transcievers with transverters.\n\nAll report using 75-100 watts of transmit power to get signals through\nAO-109, although care is taken to reduce power to 1 or 2 watts when using\ndigital modes on other linear satellites, such as RS-44. While FT4 activity\nis generally at the low end of the downlink passband on other linear\nsatellites (5 kHz above the bottom passband limit), activity on AO-109 has\nbeen on a downlink frequency of 435.770 (5 kHz below transponder center).\n\nSeveral other stations have reported experimenting with CW on AO-109. Take\nTone, JK2XXK in PM85, completed a CW QSO with Tetsurou Satou,  JA0CAW in\nPM97, on May 1, and other contacts among Japanese amateurs have followed.\nJohn Papay, K8YSE, Doug Tabor, N6UA, and Burns Fisher, WB1FJ, in addition\nto W7QL and W0DHB, have reported hearing or experimenting with CW on the\nbird in North America. K8YSE in EN91 and Stephan Greene, KS1G in FM18,\nreported a completed CW QSO on August 21.\n\nMark Hammond, N8MH, AMSAT Director and Command Station, has also been\npaying close attention to AO-109 signals. He notes, \"All you need is to use\nAF from the built in sound cards of the 9700, directly into WSJT-X, over\nUSB cable. Then, have the radio use USB-D and LSB-D modes. It will probably\ngive you a little better signal to noise I think? Seeing 3 kHz of the\ntransponder downlink is plenty. Doppler correction is important, especially\naround TCA. Tell SatPC32 under the CAT tab to do Intervals of \"0 Hz\" for\nSSB/CW and use a Speed of x5.\"\n\n[ANS thanks Carlos Cardon, W7QL, for the above information]\n\n+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+\n                   Join the 2021 President's Club!\n          Score your 2\" 4-Color Accent Commemorative Coin.\n                 This gold finished coin comes with\nFull Color Certificate and Embroidered \"Remove Before Flight\" Key Tag\n                           Donate today at\n           https://www.amsat.org/join-the-amsat-presidents-club/\n                       You won't want to miss it!\n+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+\n\nRegistration Now Open for AMSAT Space Symposium\n\nThe 39th AMSAT Space Symposium and Annual General Meeting will be held\nFriday through Sunday, October 29-31, 2021, at the Crowne Plaza AiRE in\nBloomington, Minnesota.\n\nRegistration is now open for the event at https://launch.amsat.org/Events\nStudent registrations are available at $40, and General registration is at\n$75.

FCC staff confirmed during a\nrecent virtual meeting with Volunteer Examiner Coordinators (VECs) that the\nagency is still working on the necessary changes to the Universal Licensing\nSystem (ULS) software and other processes and procedures that must be in\nplace before it starts collecting fees from amateur applicants. Once it's\neffective, a $35 application fee will apply to new, modification (upgrade\nand sequential call sign change), renewal, and vanity call sign\napplications. (ANS thanks ARRL for the above information.)\n\n+ AMSAT-DL reports the antenna used by DP0GVN in Antarctica for the QO-100\ngeostationary satellite amateur radio transponder is completely destroyed.\nAccording to the Alfred-Wegener-Institute (AWI), a severe winter storm hit\nAtka Bay (Antarctica) at the end of last week. Unfortunately, the satellite\nantenna for the geostationary QO-100 amateur radio satellite was also\ncompletely destroyed during the storm, despite the weatherproof radome, so\nno school contacts with DP0GVN can take place until further notice.\nAMSAT-DL and AWI hope to erect a new antenna early next year, in particular\nto continue the very successful contacts with schools. (ANS thanks AMSAT-UK\nand AMSAT-DL for the above information.)\n\n+ NASA astronaut Mark Vande Hei, KG5GNP, and astronaut Akihiko Hoshide,\nKE5DNI, of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency will venture outside the\nInternational Space Station on Tuesday, Aug. 24, for a spacewalk to install\na support bracket in preparation for future installation of the orbiting\nlaboratory’s third new solar array. NASA will discuss the upcoming\nspacewalk during a news conference at 1800z (2 p.m. EDT) Monday, Aug. 23.\nLive coverage of the news conference and spacewalk will air on NASA\nTelevision, the agency’s website, and the NASA app. [Amateurs should be\naware that all amateur radio transmissions are powered off during\nspacewalks.] (ANS thanks NASA for the above information.)\n\n+ The Ingenuity helicopter on Mars has now completed its 12th flight, where\nit acted as a scout, looking ahead for dangerous terrain for it’s partner\nin crime, the Perseverance rover. The 4-pound autonomous rotocraft climbed\nover almost 10 meters (33 ft) high, and traveled a total of 450 meters\n(1,476 ft) in 169 seconds. It flew over the over an area dubbed the ‘South\nSeitah’ region of Mars, where Perseverance will explore. (ANS thanks\nUniverse Today for the above information.)\n\n+ Scientists have spotted a previously unrecognized feature of our Milky\nWay galaxy: A contingent of young stars and star-forming gas clouds is\nsticking out of one of the Milky Way's spiral arms like a splinter poking\nout from a plank of wood. Stretching some 3,000 light-years, this is the\nfirst major structure identified with an orientation so dramatically\ndifferent than the arm's. (ANS thanks Space Daily for the above\ninformation.)\n\n+ NASA is calling on all sixth through 12th-grade educators and students to\nsubmit experiments for possible suborbital flights as a way of gaining\nfirsthand experience with the design and testing process used by NASA\nresearchers. The NASA TechRise Student Challenge invites students to\ndesign, build, and launch experiments on suborbital rockets and\nhigh-altitude balloons. Each winning team will receive $1,500 to build\ntheir experiment and an assigned spot to test it on a NASA-sponsored\nsuborbital flight.
