This\nversion does not predict if your amateur radio antenna will remain standing.\n\nThe original Impact Earth website was created in 2002 for use by NASA and\nhomeland security. The new version, built in a collabora- tion between\nPurdue University and Imperial College London, is more user-friendly for the\ngeneral public, as well as providing more visual details of an impact.\nBesides being rather fun to play around with, the website is highly\neducational about what a various sized impacts would do Earth, depending on\nif it hit ground or water.\n\n[ANS thanks UniverseToday.com for the above information]\n\n/EX\n\nSB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-318.04\nE-book on propagation\n\nAMSAT News Service Bulletin 318.04\n From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.\nNovember 14, 2010\nTo All RADIO AMATEURS\nBID: $ANS-318.04\n\nHams Like Free Stuff: Download E-Book Understanding LF and HF Propagation\n\nSteve G0KYA and Alan G3NYK, of the Radio Society of Great Britain's\n(RSGB) Propagation Studies Committee, have released a free ebook called\n'Understanding LF and HF Propagation'\n\nIn 2008/2009 Steve and Alan wrote a series of features on LF and HF\npropagation for the RSGB's \"RadCom\" magazine.\n\nThe features consisted of a month-by-month look at each HF band in turn,\nshowing the reader the propagation modes behind each band and explaining\nsome of the technicalities of ionospheric propagation.\n\nSteve says: \"I looked at the D, E and F layers, Sporadic E, the MUF/LUF,\nusing solar data, propagation programs, NVIS and much more.\n\n\"Alan then took over and wrote three detailed features on LF propagation. \nWe are told that the features were well received and as a result I have\nmanaged to persuade the RSGB to allow me to put them together into a single\ndocument, which is now freely available for amateurs worldwide to download.\"\n\nYou can download your free copy of \"Understanding LF and HF Propagation\" \nat http://www.g0kya.blogspot.com\n\n[ANS thanks the SouthGateARC News Site for the above information]\n\n/EX\n\nSB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-318.05\nK8OCL, Silent Key\n\nAMSAT News Service Bulletin 318.05\n From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.\nNovember 14, 2010\nTo All RADIO AMATEURS\nBID: $ANS-318.05\n\nIt is with great sadness that I report Dr. John Champa, K8OCL, has become a\nsilent key.\nI was friends with John since 1970 as we both served in the U.S. Army and\nwere officers in\nThe Ft.

I know he was on the BOD of AMSAT for several years and framed many\nimportant contributions\nand avenues for Projects undertaken.\nHe will be missed by all and his important opinions (to me) will allow me to\nkeep his \nideas alive and in the hearts of all AMSAT members. \n\n[ANS thanks Dee Interdonato, NB2F, for the above information]\n\n/EX\n\nSB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-318.06\n(ARISS) Status Report November 8, 2010\n\nAMSAT News Service Bulletin 318.06\n From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.\nNovember 14, 2010\nTo All RADIO AMATEURS\nBID: $ANS-318.06\n\nAmateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) Status Report\nNovember 8, 2010\n\n\n1. Upcoming School Contact\n\nSt. Louis Charter School, St. Louis, Missouri contact on Thursday, November\n11 at 18:07 UTC. was a success St. Louis is a public charter school with an\nenrollment of 930 students in grades K - 8. Additional students are enrolled\nin the school's Special Education Self Contained Classrooms. The school has\nintegrated the ARISS contact into its science curriculum which covers the\nsolar system, space exploration and space missions. Students have taken part\nin several hands on activities and research papers to prepare for the\ncontact. \n\n2. Malaysian Contact Successful\n\nOn Tuesday, November 2, students from S.K. Bukit Damansara visited the\nNational Planetarium in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and participated in an\nAmateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) contact. The youth\nposed questions to astronaut Doug Wheelock, KF5BOC about what it is like to\nlive in space. The contact was made in conjunction with the \"Prime\nMinister's - National Space Challenge Trophy 2010\" event. \n\n3. Crew Debrief Held with Caldwell-Dyson\n\nExpedition 23/24 astronaut Tracy Caldwell-Dyson, KF5DBF participated in an\nAmateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) debrief session on\nWednesday, November 3. The feedback she provided on the ISS Ham radio\nequipment and school contacts will aid the ARISS team in updating its\nprogram procedures.\n\n4. Astronaut Training Status\n\nOn Friday, November 5, Aki Hoshide, KE5DNI was given an ARISS overview\ntraining session and Suni Williams, KD5PLB was provided with a refresher\ncourse on the ARISS program. Both astronauts are slated to fly on Expedition\n32.\n\n5. Amateur Radio Newsline Covers ARISS\n\nOn November 5, the Amateur Radio Newsline Report 1734 ran three ARISS\nrelated news items under Ham Radio in Space. \"The ISS Celebrates its 10th\nAnniversary\" talks about the crew members who have flown on the Space\nStation, many of whom were ham radio operators. \"Second Ham Station for the\nISS\" covers the Ericsson radio which will be installed in the Columbus\nmodule in early 2011 and \"ARISSat-1 Passes Safety Test\" is a status on the\nsatellite which will soon ship to Russia for final integration and testing.\nAll stories may be found at: ftp://ftp.arnewsline.org/quincy/News/news.txt\n\n\n[ANS thanks Yutaka Carol, KB3LKI for the above information]\n\n/EX\n\n\n73,\nThis week's ANS Editor,\nDee Interdonato, NB2F\nnb2f at amsat dot org\n\n\n\n", "attachments": [] }
