The ISS-direct-to WB9SA contact is sched-\n  uled for a 36 degree elevation pass on Sat 2010-08-07 15:07:14 UTC.\n  More information about SpaceJam-4 can be found at:\n  http://www.spacejamboree.com\n\n+ Stu, WA2BSS reminds interested amateur satellite operators that the\n  the dates for the next two Hudson Valley Satcom nets are Aug. 5 & 19.\n  The 2 M repeater used is:146.970 MHz (2M Pl. 100) Time: 8PM EDT, or \n  2400 UTC. The EchoLink node is N2EYH-L. More info: www.hvsatcom.org.\n\n+ Bruce, VE9QRP is asking for input from amateur satellite operators.\n  He is designing a microcontroller system for doppler tuning portable \n  radios. He is looking for information regarding which HTs or mobile \n  radios are CAT-controllable. He is testing this concept with an TH-D7A \n  and reports it works well. Bruce's e-mail is ve9qrp_at_gmail.com.\n  His web page is at: http://ve9qrp.blogspot.com. He demonstrates his\n  project in a video at: http://www.youtube.com/user/VE9QRP.\n\n+ While this video link is more related to new technology than the\n  Amateur satellite program many radio amateurs will find learning about\n  D-STAR technology interesting at: http://tinyurl.com/25moy7d\n  (via SouthGateARC)\n\n[ANS thanks everyone for the above information]\n\n/EX\n\nSB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-213.04\nBalloon Launch Project\n\nAMSAT News Service Bulletin 213.04\n  From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.\nAugust 1, 2010\nTo All RADIO AMATEURS\nBID: $ANS-213.04\n\nIn association with Tom Webb, WA9AFM/5, President, Oklahoma City Autopatch \nAssociation, the North Texas Balloon Project would like to dedicate their \nLaunch No. 18 to the memory of fellow ham, John Mark \"Rob\" Robbins.\n\nJust two weeks ago, John Robbins, NO5X, became a Silent Key.  John was a \nfounding member of the Near Space Exploration Group in the OKC/Tulsa area.  \nWe conducted several balloon launches from OKC until John's health \nprevented his participation and leadership.  It was John's goal to \ndo a record setting \nflight for an amateur radio balloon.  He came very close, but never \nsucceeded.\n\nThe John Mark Robbins Memorial Flight will be launched by the North \nTexas Balloon Project (NTEXBP) at about 8:30 am CDT on August 7, 2010 \nfrom the municipal airport in Hillsboro, Texas, just south of Fort Worth \nand Dallas. The public is invited to come out to the Hillsboro \nMunicipal Airport, located at Exit 3 on Interstate Highway 35W, \nto watch the launch.  The back up launch date is August 14, 2010. \n\nThree payload packages containing sensors and amateur radios will be \ncarried to nearly 100,000 feet in about 90 minutes by a helium balloon \nand return via parachute in about 50 minutes.  Mobile recovery teams \nwill use position reports from the onboard GPS and APRS transmitter on \n144.390 MHz and radio direction finding techniques to recover the payloads.\n\nA cross band repeater will be activated soon after launch.  Uplink is 4\n45.800 MHz and downlink is 147.560 MHz.  At the peak altitude ham radio \noperators from Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, and \nKansas can contact each other using the cross band repeater.\n\nThe third payload of the flight is a ten meter beacon operating on a \nfrequency of 28.274 MHz. The antenna is a home brew loop and the \ntransmitter will be running approximately 1 watt. This beacon may be \nheard world wide if the band is open.  Please report reception and we \nwill happily QSL the event. Email [email protected] or [email protected]\n\nPre-launch activities will begin about 7:00 am CDT with the HF Launch \nNet on 7260 +/- 5 KHz, LSB beginning around 8:00 am CDT.  Follow us on \nHF radio or on Twitter@NTEXBP .   \nSaturday's launch will show on APRS as W5SJZ-11.\n\n[ANS thanks Keith, W5IU, for the above information]\n\n/EX\n\nSB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-213.05\nAstronauts Complete Simulation Contacts\n\nAMSAT News Service Bulletin 213.05\n  From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.\nAugust 1, 2010\nTo All RADIO AMATEURS\nBID: $ANS-213.05\n\nAstronauts successfully complete amateur radio \nsimulation contacts.\n\nAstronauts Ron Garan, KF5GPO, and Mike Fossum, KF5AQG, \neach successfully completed a simulated Amateur Radio \non the International Space Station (ARISS) contact with \nthe Challenger Learning Center of Indianapolis on \nThursday, July 22. \nHopefully they will become as active as the present ISS crew\nAnd carry out some casual contacts with others throughout\nThe World.\n\nGaran and Fossum answered 14 and 22 questions respectively \nduring their contacts. \n\nThese training sessions were terrestrial-based amateur \nradio contacts using ARISS equivalent equipment. \n\n\n[ANS thanks Southgate for the above information]\n\n/EX\n\n\nSB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-213.06\nARISS Status - July 26, 2010\n\nAMSAT News Service Bulletin 213.06\n  From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.\nAugust 1, 2010\nTo All RADIO AMATEURS\nBID: $ANS-213.06\n\nAmateur Radio on the International Space Station \n(ARISS) Status Report July 26, 2010\n\n\n1. Upcoming School Contact\n\nAn Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) contact was\ncompleted\nwith the 2010 National Boy Scout Jamboree in Fort A.P. Hill, Virginia on\nSaturday, \nJuly 31 at 18:21 UTC. The jamboree is being planned for about 43,000 Scouts\nand \nleaders in 825 troops, plus some 5,000 staff members for support, program\nand \nheadquarters services. The K2BSA Amateur Radio Demonstration Area is a hot\nspot \nof activity throughout the Jamboree. At past Jamborees, thousands of Scouts \ntoured K2BSA. More than 300 earned their Radio Merit Badges and more than \n100 new Technician licenses were earned. The club supporting this event is \nthe K2BSA Amateur Radio Association.\n\n2. ARISS Contact with International Space University Students\n\nOn Wednesday, July 21, International Space University in\nIllkirch-Graffenstaden, \nFrance, participated in an Amateur Radio on the International Space Station\n(\nARISS) contact with Shannon Walker, KD5DXB on the ISS. Twelve questions were\n\nanswered and regional television covered the event. In preparation for \ntheir contact, students studied the basics of satellite communications \nand learned about human spaceflight and space exploration. \n\n3. ARRL Covers 2010 National Scout Jamboree\n\nThe American Radio Relay League (ARRL) posted a story on its web page \ncovering the upcoming 2010 National Boy Scout Jamboree during which an \nARISS contact was planned.
