One exciting facet we are adding\nthis year is an auction.  All proceeds from the auction will support\nAMSAT’s two major initiatives—the development and launch of the FOX\nsatellite series and the ARISS program.\n\nAs we prepare for the auction, we are asking for your help in\ndonating specialty items for auction (minimum value $100) that will\nattract symposium attendee’s attention and get them bidding up the\nitem price.  If you have any items that are ham related (no boat\nanchors please), items of historical value, space related and/or\nautographed items, or even sports tickets or time shares, we would\nlove to get your donations.  Think out of the box on this—what\nexciting things would you like to see in this auction?\n\nIf you have something to donate to the Symposium auction, please\nsend an e-mail to Frank Bauer, KA3HDO, who will work with you on\ngetting your item or items into the auction. Frank’s e-mail address\nis [email protected]\n\nThis auction, while adding a fun experience to the AMSAT Space\nSymposium experience, will also serve to keep amateur radio’s spirit\nthriving in space through its donations to FOX and ARISS.\n\nOn behalf of AMSAT, I thank you for your donations in advance.  And\nI encourage each of you to attend and participate in this year’s\nAMSAT Space Symposium to be held in Baltimore Maryland Oct 10-12.\nFor more information, see:\nhttp://www.amsat.org/?page_id=1555\n\n73 from Your Symposium Committee Co-Chairs:\n\nFrank Bauer, KA3HDO and Janet Bauer\n\n\n[ANS thanks the Frank, KA3HDO and AMSAT-NA for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nISS Slow Scan TV on August 27\n\n\nDmitry Pashkov R4UAB reports that the Slow Scan Television (SSTV)\nexperiment MAI-75 on the International Space Station (ISS) may be\nactive on Wednesday, August 27 using the call sign RS0ISS on 145.800\nMHz FM.\n\nA Google English translation of the work plan says “On Gagarin from\nSpace”. Open gear with ISS RS by amateur radio link to ground\nreceiving stations amateurs around the world images of photographs\ndevoted to the life and work of the first cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin.\n\nIt is unclear how long the SSTV transmissions will continue for but\nthe plan shows the Kenwood TM D-700 transceiver being used for a\nschool contact in the Ruzaevo district on Saturday, August 30.\n\nAll you need to do to receive the SSTV pictures from the space\nstation is to connected the audio output of a scanner or amateur rig\nvia a simple interface to the soundcard on a Windows PC or an Apple\niOS device, and tune in to 145.800 MHz FM. You can even receive\npictures by holding an iPhone next to the radio’s loudspeaker.\n\nThe ISS puts out a strong signal on 145.800 MHz FM and a 2m handheld\nwith a 1/4 wave antenna will be enough to receive it. The FM\ntransmission uses 5 kHz deviation which is standard in much of the\nworld.\n\nMany FM rigs in the UK can be switched been wide and narrow\ndeviation FM filters so select the wider deviation. Handhelds all\nseem to have a single wide filter fitted as standard.\n\nOn Windows PC’s the free application MMSSTV can be used to decode\nthe signal, on Apple iOS devices you can use the SSTV app. The ISS\nFan Club website will show you when the space station is in range.\n\nListen for the ISS SSTV transmissions online using the SUWS WebSDR,\nfurther details at\nhttp://amsat-uk.org/2014/08/15/suws-websdr-moves-to-new-site/\n\nFor more on Slow Scan Television SSTV, see this article SSTV – The\nBasics\nhttp://www.essexham.co.uk/sstv-the-basics\n\nHow to be successful with the ISS Slow Scan Television (SSTV)\nimaging system\nhttp://www.marexmg.org/fileshtml/howtoisssstv.html\n\nInformation on the MAI-75 SSTV experiment\nhttp://www.energia.ru/eng/iss/researches/education-26.html\n\nFree MMSSTV software\nhttp://hamsoft.ca/pages/mmsstv.php\n\niOS SSTV App\nhttps://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/sstv/id387910013\n\nIZ8BLY Vox Recoder, enables you to record the signals from the ISS\non 145.800 MHz while you’re away at work\nhttp://antoninoporcino.xoom.it/VoxRecorder/\n\nARISS Slow Scan TV (SSTV) Blog and Gallery\nhttp://ariss-sstv.blogspot.co.uk/\n\nFor real-time tracking and the latest status of amateur radio\nactivity on the space station see the ISS Fan Club\nhttp://www.issfanclub.com/\n\nDmitry Pashkov R4UAB\nhttp://r4uab.ru/?p=7237\n\nISS Work Plan\nhttp://www.mcc.rsa.ru/plan.htm\n\n\n[ANS thanks AMSAT-UK for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nLambda-Sat CubeSat – ISS Deployment\n\n\nLambda-Sat was launched to the International Space Station (ISS)\nfrom the Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia on July 13, 2014, in an\nOrbital Sciences’ Antares rocket CRS-2/ORB-2. It is reported it may\nbe deployed from the ISS on Tuesday, August 26.\n\nThe Lambda team encourages amateur radio operators around the world\nto listen for and report the Lambda-Sat signal.\n\nFrequency: 437.462 MHz\nDownlink: AX.25 Unnumbered Information (UI) packets at 1200 bps AFSK\nTransmission Power : 1W\nCall Sign : KK6DFZ\n\nThe Secretary of the Cyprus Amateur Radio Society (CARS) Nestor\n5B4AHZ has written an article on Lambda-Sat, he says:\n\nThe naming of the ?-sat satellite came from the Greek letter L\n(lambda) a reminder of Hellas, Helios, the Greek word Thalassa for\nsea, the Greek word Lithos which directly translates to stone\n(meaning “Land of Light”).\n\nThe ?-sat was constructed entirely of Greek volunteers who worked\nfeverishly, selflessly and without any personal gain. Members of ?-\nsat contributed to the construction of the satellite system each with\ntheir knowledge in robotics, electronics, software development and\ntelecommunications. The group consists of young people from Greece\nwho traveled to Silicon Valley in California to participate in this\nproject.\n\n“I want to motivate the youth in Greece to continue to dream,” says\nthe original initiator of the project, Periklis Papadopoulos,\nProfessor of Aerospace Engineering of the Federal University of\nCalifornia San Jose, which has been awarded from NASA for his\ncontribution with the prize Turning Goals Into Reality (TGIR). As the\nprofessor states, “My goal is to demonstrate the capabilities of\nyoung people in Greece.” The professor believes that our country\ncould be active in this area and this is not an economic issue, but a\nquestion of will alone (!).\n\nSubmit reception reports of Lambda-Sat at\nhttp://lambdasat.com/?page_id=181\n\nLambda-Sat\nhttp://lambdasat.com/\n\nArticle on Lambda-Sat by Nestor 5B4AHZ\nhttp://www.cyhams.org/index.php/en/news-and-events/359-the-first-\ngreek-microsatellite-is-a-fact\n\n\n[ANS thanks AMSAT-UK for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nW1AW/7 on satellites starting Wednesday (UTC time)\n\n\nFollowing the schedule for W1AW/x portable activity during 2014, next\nweek will start the second of the two weeks W1AW/7 will air from\nArizona. The first W1AW/7 Arizona satellite activity in March was\nsuccessful (thanks, John K8YSE, for making good use of the K8YSE/7\nstation in Arizona that week), and I'm hoping for another successful\nweek starting at 0000 UTC Wednesday, 27 August (2000 EDT/1700 PDT on\nTuesday, 26 August).\n\nI will be operating as W1AW/7 on weeknights, and plan on more activity\nduring the Labor Day weekend (30 August-1 September) that falls within\nthis one-week period. I am working on having additional operators for\nthe weekday passes, when I won't be able to get on the radio myself.\nAs with any of the W1AW/x activities, ARRL will handle the QSLing.\nARRL will upload all W1AW/7 logs to Logbook of the World, in addition\nto the paper, QSL cards that will be available later.\n\nIf you also work other bands and want to work W1AW/7 from Arizona\nnext week, the W1AW/7 Arizona activity coordinator, Ned Stearns AA7A,\nhas a schedule showing when the other stations operating as W1AW/7\nwill be on - and on what band/mode combinations. This schedule is\nstill being assembled, so more slots will be filled in as we get\ncloser to next week.\n\nYou can see that schedule at:\nhttp://aa7a.net/W1AW/W1AW_7_AZ_1September.htm\n\nSatellite operating times will not appear on Ned's schedule, as I am\ncoordinating that part of the W1AW/7 effort.  I'll use the AMSAT-BB\nlist and my Twitter @WD9EWK feed (http://twitter.com/WD9EWK ) to send\nout updates for the W1AW/7 satellite activity.\n\nGood luck, and 73!\n\n\n[ANS thanks Patrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK and AMSAT-NA for the above\ninformation]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nVenerable LUSAT-1 (OSCAR 19) Takes to the Dark Side\n\n\nSet to celebrate its silver anniversary next year, LUSAT-1 -- which\nis also known as OSCAR 19 or LO-19 -- appears once again to be\nfunctioning, sort of, when not in sunlight. At this point, OSCAR 19\nis only transmitting telemetry; its digital transponder has not been\nreported to be operational.\n\n\"We knew that our LUSAT started transmitting again a couple of years\nago, but only when illuminated by sunlight and was not heard during\nthe night,\" Pedro Converso, LU7ABF, reported to the AMSAT-BB. During\na recent nighttime pass, though, he was surprised to hear \"the usual\nstrong 900 mW continuous carrier on 437.125 MHz,\" 22 minutes after LO-\n19 had emerged from Earth's shadow.\n\n\"It's almost a miracle that after almost 25 years, LUSAT's vintage\nNi-Cd batteries can receive and hold [a] charge,\" he said.\n\nLaunched in 1990 from Kourou, French Guyana, on an Ariane 4 vehicle,\nthe satellite -- Argentina's first -- has completed more than 128,000\norbits, and is one of the oldest active Amateur Radio satellites. The\nsatellite carries a digital store-and-forward packet transponder with\nuplink frequencies at 145.84, 145.86, 145.88, and 145.90 MHz 1200 bps\nFM, with AX.25 protocol downlink at 437.125 MHz SSB.\n\nAn audio clip, tracking information, and listener reports are\navailable via the AMSAT-LU website. Reports are welcome via e-mail.\n\n\n[ANS thanks ARRL & AMSAT-BB for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\n73 on 73 Award Announcement\n\n\nPaul Stoetzer N8HM has announced a new award for contacts made via\nthe AO-73 (FUNcube-1) amateur radio satellite\n\n\"I am pleased to announce that I will be sponsoring a new award to\npromote activity on AO-73 (FUNcube-1).

Its facilities include two cameras, one in visible and the\nother in infra-red. Other facilities include communication in the\namateur radio band and control systems for its power, thermal and\nembedded management of its components.\n\nChasqui-1 will provide a number of functions that include taking\npictures of the Earth. From an academic perspective it will\nfacilitate collaborations among various faculties and research\ncentres of the university to train students and teachers with real\nworld experience in satellites. It will also generate opportunities\nto work with other universities in the world which in turn will lead\nto technological advances in the aerospace industry of Peru.\n\nThe 437.025 MHz beacon (+/- 10 kHz Doppler shift) can transmit\neither 1200 bps AFSK AX.25 or 9600 bps GMSK. At the time of writing\nno signal from the beacon had been heard.\n\nListen for Chasqui-1 and the ISS online using the SUWS WebSDR,\nfurther details at\nhttp://amsat-uk.org/2014/08/15/suws-websdr-moves-to-new-site/\n\nFind out when you can hear the ISS and Chasqui-1 which is currently\nin close proximity at\nhttp://issfanclub.com/\n\nChasqui-1\nhttp://www.chasqui.uni.edu.pe/eng.html\n\nFacebook\nhttps://www.facebook.com/pages/Chasqui-1/253013641985\n\nTwitter @chasqui1\n\nR4UAB Chasqui-1\nhttp://r4uab.ru/?p=7178\n\n\n[ANS thanks AMSAT-UK for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nAMSAT Events\n\n\nInformation about AMSAT activities at other important events around\nthe country.

It includes children of the\nEuropean Patent Office staff and takes place in Noordwijk (Stay Okay\nhostel) from the 25th to the 29th of August 2014. All camp activities\nare designed to entertain children, stimulate their creative and\nmanual skills, and teach them about science and space. The contact\nwith the International Space Station will be a key activity in the\nprogram as it gives the children the opportunity to talk with an\nastronaut and understand that space is an international endeavor.\n\n\n* A direct contact with students at Winfree Bryant Middle School,\nLebanon, TN, USA  is scheduled for Tue 2014-08-26  16:12:47 UTC  24\ndeg.\n\nAs one of two middle schools in Lebanon Special School District,\nWinfree Bryant Middle School is in its fourth year of serving\nstudents in grades 6 – 8. Located in Wilson County in the heart of\nmiddle Tennessee twenty-eight miles east of Nashville, the city of\nLebanon has approximately 27,000 residents. Winfree Bryant serves\napproximately 600 students with 66.5% Caucasian, 16.6% African\nAmerican, 14.4% Hispanic, 2% Asian, and less than 1% Native\nAmerican/Mixed Race. Forty-eight percent of the school population is\nfemale and fifty-two percent of the population is male. Approximately\n65% of students fall within the demographics of economically\ndisadvantaged.\n\nWinfree Bryant’s mission statement is “Different and Making a\nDifference.”  As a school family, that is what teachers and staff set\nout to do on a daily basis.  Although our number one responsibility\nis to teach Tennessee State Standards and grow students academically,\nwe first love our children and provide for their daily needs.\nWithout relationship, there can be no learning, and our teachers and\nadministrators take very seriously the mission of making a difference\nin the lives of the children and families we serve.\n\nThe faculty and staff embodies this mission by never giving up on a\nchild – academically, emotionally, and socially.  Expectations for\nacademics are high and behavioral expectations are rigorous in order\nto best support a positive learning environment.  In return, we look\nforward to a harvest of hardworking responsible citizens who then\nmake a difference in a positive way to our community.\n\n\n* A direct contact with students at Dorothy Grant Elementary\nSchool, Fontana, CA, USA is scheduled for Wed 2014-08-27 18:31:28 UTC\n83 deg.\n\nDorothy Grant Elementary School opened its doors in August 2004 and\nwas named after a local prominent, nationally renowned civil rights\nleader who passed away in April 2013. Mrs. Grant was vested in\neducation, and could be seen most mornings at our school gates\nwelcoming our students to school.\n\nOur school is a community school located in the middle of a\nresidential neighborhood and serves over 780 students in preschool\nthrough grade 5.  We also have an early childhood special education\nprogram and Special Day Class for 5th grade students.  Many of our\nstudents participate in our after-school program, as well as a\nvariety of school clubs that are headed by teachers or parents, such\nas the gardening club.\n\nDorothy Grant Elementary School proudly earned the California\nDepartment of Education’s 2013 Title I Academic Achievement Award and\nis a California Distinguished School. This prestigious honor is a\nreflection of the school’s system of support for all students at all\nlearning levels. Innovative intervention strategies and\ndifferentiated instruction greatly impacted school-wide student\nperformance to meet state and federal standards of excellence.\n\nOn October 27, 2012, the Dorothy Grant Elementary Amateur Radio Club\nwas established. Each year nearly 50 students in the 4th and 5th\ngrades learn about amateur radio and participate in activities and\nprograms that teach them about electronics and radio communication\ntechniques. Amateur radio has enhanced reading, writing, mathematics,\ngeography, and communication skills for all students. The club\nrecently installed a 50 ft. Rohn tower and beam antenna in hopes of\nmaking more international contacts on 10, 15, and 20 meters. The use\nof technology is strongly emphasized throughout the curriculum and\nused as a tool to enhance class lessons.\n\n\nLatest News\n\n* A  telebridge contact with students at Zuni Hills Elementary\nSchool, Sun City, AZ, USA, via  K6DUE was successful on\nFri 2014-08-22 17:47:05 UTC.
