ANS publishes news related to Amateur Radio in Space\nincluding reports on the activities of a worldwide group of Amateur\nRadio operators who share an active interest in designing, building,\nlaunching and communicating through analog and digital Amateur Radio\nsatellites.\n\nThe news feed on http://www.amsat.org publishes news of Amateur\nRadio in Space as soon as our volunteers can post it.\n\nPlease send any amateur satellite news or reports to:\nans-editor at amsat.org.\n\nIn this edition:\n\n* ARISS Contact Opportunity Call for Proposals\n* Captain Yuri, UT1FG/mm Reported Heading Back to Sea\n\n\n\nSB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-327.01\nANS-327 AMSAT News Service Weekly Bulletins\n\nAMSAT News Service Bulletin 327.01\n From AMSAT HQ Kensington, MD.\nNovember 23, 2014\nTo All RADIO AMATEURS\nBID: $ANS-327.01\n\n\nARISS Contact Opportunity Call for Proposals\n\nProposal Window October 17 – December 15, 2014\n\nThe Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) Program is \nseeking\nformal and informal education institutions and organizations, \nindividually or\nworking together, to host an Amateur Radio contact with a crew member on \nboard\nthe ISS. ARISS anticipates that the contact would be held between May 1, \n2015\nand December 31, 2015. Crew scheduling and ISS orbits will determine the \nexact\ncontact dates. To maximize these radio contact opportunities, ARISS is \nlooking\nfor organizations that will draw large numbers of participants and \nintegrate the\ncontact into a well-developed education plan.\n\nThe deadline to submit a proposal is December 15, 2014.\n\nThe Opportunity\n\nCrew members aboard the International Space Station will participate in\nscheduled Amateur Radio contacts. These radio contacts are approximately 10\nminutes in length and allow students and educators to interact with the\nastronauts through a question-and-answer session.\n\nAn ARISS contact is a voice-only communication opportunity via Amateur Radio\nbetween astronauts and cosmonauts aboard the space station and \nclassrooms and\ncommunities. ARISS contacts afford education audiences the opportunity \nto learn\nfirsthand from astronauts what it is like to live and work in space and \nto learn\nabout space research conducted on the ISS. Students also will have an\nopportunity to learn about satellite communication, wireless technology, and\nradio science. Because of the nature of human spaceflight and the \ncomplexity of\nscheduling activities aboard the ISS, organizations must demonstrate \nflexibility\nto accommodate changes in contact dates and times.\n\nAmateur Radio organizations around the world, NASA, and space agencies in\nRussia, Canada, Japan and Europe sponsor this educational opportunity by\nproviding the equipment and operational support to enable direct \ncommunication\nbetween crew on the ISS and students around the world via Amateur Radio. \nIn the\nUS, the program is managed by AMSAT (Radio Amateur Satellite \nCorporation) and\nARRL (American Radio Relay League) in partnership with NASA.\n\nMore Information\n\nInterested parties can find more information about the program at \nwww.ariss.org\nand www.arrl.org/ARISS. More details on expectations, audience, proposal\nguidelines and proposal form, and dates and times of Information \nSessions are\navailable at www.arrl.org/hosting-an-ariss-contact.

He is reportedly slated to take over the\nhelm of the MV Greenwing which he will meet in either Canada or the on the\nports of the Great Lakes in the USA. Currently the MV Greenwing is off the\ncoast of Sicily and appears to waiting for a load to carry back to the USA\nor Canada.\n\nFor those who want to do so, you will be able to \"track\" the ship on-line\nusing websites such as http://www.marinetraffic.com\nYou may need to provide one of the following identifiers to track the ship:\nShip Name: Greenwing\nShips Call Sign: P3GG9\nShips IMO #: 9230921\nShips MMSI #: 209996000\n\nHistorically, Captain Yuri has operated on the satellites with these\nparameters:\n1) He operates 1/2 duplex with an Icom 706MKIIg rig with an ELK antenna\n2) He is VERY good operator and speaks several languages well.\n3) He has NO issues with the 1/2 duplex operations.\n4) He works ALL of the available satellites, FM, Linear & even AO-7a.\n5) He works ALL of the passes he can, EVEN in the middle of the night!\n\n[ANS thanks Frank, K4FEG for the above information]\n\n/EX\n\n\nIn addition to regular membership, AMSAT offers membership in the\nPresident's Club.
