The Annual Meeting\nincludes an overview of the “State of AMSAT” by the AMSAT President \nfollowed by\na Q&A whereby meeting attendees are encouraged to ask questions \naddressed to\nthe Senior Leadership Team as well as to the Board of Directors. The \nmeeting\nconcludes with our recognition of AMSAT volunteers who have made a \nsignificant\nimpact on behalf of AMSAT in 2016 through their efforts in support of AMSAT\nEngineering, Field Operations, AMSAT Journal, Human Spaceflight, \nEducational\nRelations, Dayton Hamvention, and Operations as well as Presidential\nRecognition.\n\nThe original intent was to make the Annual Meeting available via Echolink so\nthat AMSAT members not attending the AMSAT Symposium @ Sea could \nparticipate.\nAt prior Annual Meetings, Echolink was used to provide access to the Annual\nMeeting for AMSAT members not attending Symposium with a reasonably good \nlevel\nof interest by those that have used this connection to hear the President’s\npresentation and participate in the Q&A.\n\nGiven that internet access on board Carnival Liberty will not provide \nreliable\nEchoLink connections, A live EchoLink connection for this year’s Annual \nMeeting\nwill not be available. However, the meeting will be recorded and the \nexpectation\nis to have the recording available through the AMSAT website after the\nconclusion of the cruise and an announcement will be made when it is \navailable.\n\n[ANS thanks AMSAT President Barry Baines, WD4ASW, for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nSpecial Awards for the 2016 AMSAT Symposium at Sea\n\nTwo unique awards are being offered during AMSAT’s 2016 Space\nSymposium being held November 10-14, 2016 aboard the Carnival Liberty\ncruise ship. The Landlubbers Award is available to amateur radio\noperators who complete a two-way satellite QSO with any Symposium\nattendee aboard the Carnival Liberty. The Sea Legs Award is available\nto amateur radio operators who complete a two-way satellite QSO while\nsailing aboard the Carnival Liberty during the Symposium. The awards\nwill be made available in PDF format for self-printing.

The transponder will commence\noperation 27 minutes after the spacecraft enters sunlight and will stay \non for a\nperiod of 25 minutes. This schedule may be modified over the forthcoming \nweeks\nas a result of experience.imagesCAAFR7EH\n\nThe transponder frequencies are:\n\nUplink: 435.047-435.077 MHz LSB\nDownlink: 145.935-145.965 MHz USB\n\nOutput power is approximately 400mW.\n\nQb50p1 was launched in June 2014, as a collaborative effort led by the von\nKarman Institute and ISIS-BV, into a sun synchronous 620×600 km polar \norbit as a\nprecursor spacecraft for the QB50 mission. The primary function of the \nsatellite\nwas to test a number of the systems and science payloads. This phase has now\nbeen completed and we are grateful to VKI and ISIS BV for carrying this\ntransponder into space and, again, to ISIS, for developing and uploading the\nnew, required, flight code.\n\n[ANS thanks AMSAT-UK and AMSAT-NL for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nHam Radio Now Webcast Sunday Seminar From the ARRL/TAPR DCC\n\nTeam Leader for the design and execution of the AMSAT Ground Terminal\nMichelle Thompson W5NYV (@abraxas3d) and AMSAT Board Member Bob McGwier,\nN4HY, attended the 2016 ARRL/TAPR Digital Communications Conference. Both\npresented the Sunday Seminar.\n\nIn these videos Michelle and Bob speak about the spectrum and cognitive\nradio. Michelle expects technology to really disrupt the radio art in the\nnear future.\n\nThe Sunday Seminar spanned 3 hours.

Satellites are only about 1U~3U in size and will conduct \nexperiments\naimed at realizing the space elevator which is expected to facilitate the\nmovement of Earth and Universe in the future. It’s the first time to \nlaunch in\nJAXA with seven satellites at a time.\n\nHTV6 Launch: 1326 UT, Dec. 9, 2016 at the Tanegashima Space Center, Japan.\n\n Downlink Beacon Mode\nAOBA-VeloxIII 437.375 437.375 1k2 AFSK,CW\nITF-2 437.525 437.525 1k2 FM,CW\nSTARS-C (Mother) 437.405 437.245 1k2 FM,CW\nSTARS-C (Daughter) 437.425 437.255 1k2 FM,CW\nWASEDA-Sat3 437.290 437.290 1k2 PCM-FSK,CW\nTuPod 437.425 437.425 1k2 GMSK,CW\n\nH-II Transfer Vehicle “KOUNOTORI” (HTV), JAXA\nhttp://global.jaxa.jp/projects/rockets/htv/index.html\n\nAOBA-VeloxIII Kyusyu Institute of Technology\nhttp://aoba2016.blog.fc2.com/\n\nEGG University of Tokyo / Nihon University\nhttp://repository.exst.jaxa.jp/dspace/bitstream/a-is/2961/1/SA6000021010.pdf\n\nFREEDOM Tohoku University / Nakashimada Engineering Works, Ltd\nhttp://www.tohoku.ac.jp/japanese/newimg/pressimg/tohokuuniv-\npress_20140926_01web.pdf\n\nITF-2 University of Tsukuba\nhttp://yui.kz.tsukuba.ac.jp/en/\n\nTuPOD Gauss Srl\nhttp://www.gaussteam.com/tupod-almost-ready-for-launch/\n\nSTARS-C Shizuoka University\nhttp://stars.eng.shizuoka.ac.jp/english.html\n\nWASEDA-SAT3 Waseda University\nhttp://www.miyashita.mmech.waseda.ac.jp/Waseda-Sat3/\n\n[ANS thanks Mineo, JE9PEL, for the above information]\n\n\n/EX\n\nIn addition to regular membership, AMSAT offers membership in the\nPresident's Club.
