ANS reports on the\nactivities of a worldwide group of Amateur Radio operators who share an\nactive interest in designing, building, launching and communicating\nthrough analog and digital Amateur Radio satellites.\n\nPlease send any amateur satellite news or reports to:\n\[email protected]\n\n\nIn this edition:\n* HAM RADIO NEAR SPACE:  HAM BALLOON WILL TRY ATLANTIC CROSSING\n* Call for Papers at 12th Annual Southeastern VHF Society Conference\n* AO-16 partially recovered\n* Satellite Shorts\n* ARISS Status - 5 November 2007\n\nSB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-315.01\nHAM RADIO NEAR SPACE:  HAM BALLOON WILL TRY ATLANTIC CROSSING\n\nAMSAT News Service Bulletin 315.01\n From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.\nNovember 11, 2007\nTo All RADIO AMATEURS\nBID: $ANS-315.01\n\nHere is a mission for all you Satellite enthusiasts to follow and give\nreports to.  Amateurs at the University of Tennessee Amateur Radio Club\nare launching a balloon with a beacon in the 10 MHz Amateur Band that\nmay travel across the Atlantic.\n\nThe latest Icarus X mission designated  UX-19, will hopefully launch\nabout the time we go to air. The payload will include a GPS unit and\ncomputerized unit that will regulate the balloon's altitude and send\ntelemetry on 10.123 MHz in CW and RTTY formats. In addition to the 30m\nbeacon there will also be an APRS beacon AA4UT-11 on 144.390 MHz FM.\nThe dates are TBA (soon).\n\nThe flight has been dubbed 'The Spirit Of Knoxville' after Lindbergh's\nfirst trans-Atlantic flight.  The 10 MHz transmitter will run 3 watts\noutput into a half wave dipole hung below the balloon.  The goal of its\n5 day mission  is to be the first Amateur Radio equipped helium balloon\nto cross the Atlantic.\n\nMore is on-line at www.utarc.org (UTARC)\n\n[ANS thanks  Dan, K2VOL,  for the above information]\n\n/EX\n\n\nSB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-315.02\nCall for Papers at 12th Annual Southeastern VHF Society Conference\n\nAMSAT News Service Bulletin 315.02\n From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.\nNovember 11, 2007\nTo All RADIO AMATEURS\nBID: $ANS-315.02\n\n\nApril 25th and 26th, 2008\nOrlando, Florida\n\nThe Southeastern VHF Society is calling for the submission of papers and\npresentations for the upcoming 12th Annual Southeastern VHF Society\nConference to be held in Orlando, Florida on April 25th and 26th, 2008.\n  Papers and presentations are solicited on both the technical and\noperational aspects of VHF, UHF and Microwave weak signal amateur radio.\n  Some suggested areas of interest are:\n\nTransmitters\nReceivers\nTransverters\nRF Power Amplifiers\nRF Low Noise Pre Amplifiers\nAntennas\nConstruction Projects\nTest Equipment And Station Accessories\nStation Design And Construction\nContesting\nRoving\nDXpeditions\nEME\nPropagation (Sporadic E, Meteor Scatter, Troposphere Ducting, etc.)\nDigital Modes (WSJT, etc.)\nDigital Signal Processing (DSP)\nSoftware Defined Radio (SDR)\nAmateur Satellites\nAmateur Television\n\nIn general papers and presentations on non weak signal related topics\nsuch as FM repeaters and packet will not be accepted but exceptions may\nbe made if the topic is related to weak signal.

STS-120\nCommander Pam Melroy first greeted the students and then Paolo Nespoli,\nIZ0JPA, answered thirteen questions posed to him over two consecutive\npasses. Newspapers, television stations and radio stations reported on\nthe event. The audio from this event was fed into the EchoLink AMSAT\n(101 377) and JK1ZRW (277 208) servers, and into the Internet Radio\nLinking Project (IRLP) Discovery Reflector 9010.  A summary of the\ncontact was posted to the ARISS-Europe Web site with audio and a\nphotograph. See: http://www.ariss-eu.org/2007_10_29.htm\n\nThe European Space Agency (ESA) ran an article on the ARISS contact:\nhttp://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Esperia/SEMJC4FWB8F_0.html\n\n2.\tSecond Successful School Contact with Italian Schools\n\nOn Wednesday, October 31, students attending Liceo Scientifico G.Galilei\nin Civitavecchia, Roma and others at ITI-LST Mottura in Caltanisetta,\nItaly participated in an Amateur Radio on the International Space\nStation (ARISS) contact. ESA astronaut Paolo Nespoli, IZ0JPA answered 10\nquestions from as many students during the question and answer session.\nApproximately 200 and 300 students were in attendance from Civitavecchia\nand Caltanisetta, respectively. Audio from this event was fed into the\nEchoLink AMSAT (101 377) and JK1ZRW (277 208) servers and received 14\nconnections including 3 repeaters, from 8 countries. The audio was also\nfed into the Internet Radio Linking Project (IRLP) Discovery Reflector\n9010. Television stations, radio stations and newspapers covered the\nevent.

Five different groups of\nMalaysian school children gathered at the National Planetarium in Kuala\nLumpur and spoke with Shukor, directly via 9M2RPN.  All five of the\nsuccessful contacts took place over the week of October 14.\nApproximately 90 people attended each of the 1st and 3rd- 5th sessions;\nthe second contact had an audience of 50 students, teachers and others.\nThe National Planetarium provided the youth with shows related to space\nexploration during their visits and each student was issued a QSL\n(postcard) to commemorate the event. NASA astronaut Robert “Hoot” Gibson\nwas present during the final session and gave talks about space. Three\ntelevision stations, one radio station and 5 newspapers covered these\nevents.\n\n4.\tStatus of ARISS School Contacts Schedule\n\nDue to the very demanding schedules of the crew onboard the ISS, no\nAmateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) contacts have\nbeen planned at this time.  The ARISS team expects contacts to resume\nonce STS-122 launches in December.
