The transmissions are scheduled to occur over\nMoscow on April 2, 2018 from 15:05 through 18:30 UTC and on April 3, \n2018 from\n14:15 through 18:40 UTC. The MAI-75 experiment uses a computer on the ISS\nRussian Segment, which stores images that are then transmitted to Earth \nusing\nthe amateur radio, specifically the onboard Kenwood TM D710E \ntransceiver. Images\nreceived can be posted and viewed at\nhttp://www.spaceflightsoftware.com/ARISS_SSTV/index.php .The \ntransmissions will\nbe broadcast at 145.800 MHz using the PD-120 SSTV mode.\n\nPlease note that the event is dependent on other activities, schedules \nand crew\nresponsibilities on the ISS and are subject to change at any time.\n\nPlease check for news and the most current information on the AMSAT.org and\nARISS.org websites, the [email protected], the ARISS facebook at \nAmateur Radio\nOn The International Space Station (ARISS) and ARISS twitter @ARISS_status.\n\nFor more information, see www.ariss.org.\n\nAlso join us on Facebook: Amateur Radio on the International Space Station\n(ARISS)\n\nFollow us on Twitter: ARISS_status\n\n[ANS thanks Dave, AA4KN, for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nAMSAT at the 2018 Hamvention -- Call for volunteers\n\nThe 2018 Hamvention will be held on May 18-20, 2018 at Greene County\nFairground and Expo Center in Xenia Ohio.

Amateurs can participate in the experiment by\nreceiving the fragments and sending KISS files via email to the Athenoxsat-1\nproject team. The frames will then be processed and the results will \nposted in\ntheir web site with acknowledgements to the participating stations.\n\nAMSAT-BR would like to encourage amateurs to participate. Due to the \nsatellite\norbit inclination (15 degrees), only locations with latitudes below the \ntropics\nwill be able to receive signals from the satellite on 437.485 MHz. \nSignals can\nbe demodulated using UZ7HO’s high speed soundmodem software (using the \nGOMX-1\n4800 bps demodulator).\n\nThe project website is: http://www.micro-space.org/ham.html\n\n[ANS thanks AMSAT-UK and Yesie, 9V1SQ, for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\n/EX\n\nIn addition to regular membership, AMSAT offers membership in the\nPresident's Club.
