ANS-283 AMSAT News Service Weekly Bulletins
by Joseph Spier 09 Oct '16

09 Oct '16

AMSAT NEWS SERVICE ANS-283 The AMSAT News Service bulletins are a free, weekly news and infor- mation service of AMSAT North America, The Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation. ANS publishes news related to Amateur Radio in Space including reports on the activities of a worldwide group of Amateur Radio operators who share an active interest in designing, building, launching and communicating through analog and digital Amateur Radio satellites. The news feed on http://www.amsat.org publishes news of Amateur Radio in Space as soon as our volunteers can post it. Please send any amateur satellite news or reports to: ans-editor at amsat.org. In this edition: * AMSAT-NA 2016 Space Symposium Keynote Speaker Announced * RadFxSat Passes Post-Shock Tests * AMSAT Office Closed October 10th * 2016 AMSAT Space Symposium at Sea Registration Still Open * IK1SLD Team Establishes 50 ARISS Telebridge Contacts * ARISS Proposal Window September 1 – November 1, 2016 * AMSAT Events * ARISS News * Satellite Shorts From All Over SB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-283.01 ANS-283 AMSAT News Service Weekly Bulletins AMSAT News Service Bulletin 283.01 >From AMSAT HQ KENSINGTON, MD. DATE October 9, 2016 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-283.01 --------------------------------------------------------------------- AMSAT-NA 2016 Space Symposium Keynote Speaker Announced Peter Guelzow, DB2OS, President of AMSAT-DL, will be the Keynote Speaker at AMSAT-NA’s 2016 Space Symposium. This year’s “Symposium at Sea” takes place on board the CARNIVAL LIBERTY that departs Galveston, TX on Thursday,10 NOV 16. Peter’s presentation is entitled, “Amateur Radio beyond Earth Orbit”. AMSAT-NA President Barry Baines, WD4ASW extended the invitation for Peter to speak, noting, "When I approached the AMSAT Board of Directors to seek their input concerning potential banquet speakers, there was unanimous agreement that having Peter as our speaker was a wonderful idea. As President of AMSAT-DL, Peter is in a unique position to provide details about the P4-A project (Es’hail 2) and how it will impact amateur communications from space under its footprint. The evolution of AMSAT-DL and how Peter sees AMSAT-DL’s moving forward in the coming years would be of significant interest to our attendees. Peter has also observed the development of other AMSAT organizations in Europe, the Middle East as well as in the Pacific Rim. In his acceptance of the invitation to speak, Peter said, “It's indeed quite a while ago since my last visit to the AMSAT-NA Symposium and thus I’m looking very much forward to seeing all good friends again.” Peter became President of AMSAT-DL in 2001 after the launch of AMSAT OSCAR-40 (P3-D) when he had the role as AMSAT Mission Director Launch Campaign in Kourou, French Guyana. An amateur radio operator since 1979, Peter has served in a variety of roles with AMSAT-DL since 1983. His professional career as an engineer responsible for production testing of Car Multimedia and Navigation devices for a huge German automotive supplier has included extensive travel around the world, allowing him to interact with amateur radio organizations worldwide, building relationships and support for amateur radio in space. The relationship between AMSAT-NA and AMSAT-DL is a long one, going back to the 1970s, first with the development of AO-7 and later with the Phase-3 programs through Phase 3-D (AO-40). The decision by Congress to apply ITAR (International Traffic and Arms Regulations, managed by the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, Dept. of State) to communications satellites forced AMSAT-NA to withhold technical collaboration on amateur satellites with other international AMSAT organizations. Changes in US law in 2014 now makes it easier for potential international collaboration involving AMSAT-NA on future amateur satellite projects should an opportunity arise that is of mutual interest where a launch opportunity is identified. [ANS thanks 2016 AMSAT Space Symposium Committee for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- RadFxSat Passes Post-Shock Tests In a late night session Tuesday, the Short Functional Test was performed on RadFxSat and showed that the CubeSat is functioning well after the shock testing. The test was streamed live on YouTube and the archive is available for viewing, at http://www.YouTube.com/c/n0jy/live RadFxSat is the first of the four Fox-1 CubeSats built to date to be subjected to shock testing, which was necessary for qualification to fly on the Delta II ELaNa XIV Mission scheduled to launch March 16, 2017. Being the first shock test experience we were cautious about what the result may be. While Fox-1s have previously been subjected to and passed other tests such as vibration testing, each type of environmental test is significantly different. The Short Functional Test, along with the previously reported Aliveness Test, is conducted before each environmental test is performed (shock, vibe, bakeout) and after the final environmental test is finished in order to determine that the Fox-1 CubeSat is functioning nominally prior to testing and is still functioning nominally after each test. Short Functional Test (SFT) verifies the operation of the IHU, battery, transmitter, receiver, experiment, telemetry, and command systems through 51 steps of actions, measurements and observations. With the successful completion of the SFT the Fox Team performed the Preflight Procedure. This procedure places the IHU in the launch state so that it is configured as it will be during launch, for the next environmental test. It looks like Hurricane Matthew will cooperate with our plans to travel to Boston on Sunday, October 9, so the next stop is NTS in Boxborough, MA for the final environmental testing which includes vibration and bakeout. Live streaming of the environmental tests will not be possible due to ITAR and camera restrictions at the test facility, but streaming of the Short Functional and Aliveness tests and the preparation of RadFxSat for some of the testing may be available from the hotel room if the timing is such that they are performed outside the test facility. http://www.amsat.org/?p=5597 [ANS thanks Jerry Buxton, N0JY, AMSAT Vice Presdient, Engineering for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- AMSAT Office Closed October 10th The will be closed on Monday, October 10th in observance of Columbus Day. [ANS thanks Martha, AMSAT-NA for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- 2016 AMSAT Space Symposium at Sea Registration Still Open If you are an Individual attending Symposium on board the CARNIVAL LIBERTY departing Galveston, TX on November 10, you must register to attend the AMSAT Space Symposium & Annual Meeting through AMSAT. Cruise arrangements made through Carnival Cruise Lines does not include the registration fee for the Symposium itself. There are three options to register for Symposium: -Complete and mail to the AMSAT Office the 2016 Symposium Registration Form that was sent to all AMSAT members back in July along with the BoD ballot along with payment; -Call the AMSAT Office (301-822-4376) and speak with AMSAT Office Manager Martha Saragovitz ; or -Use the AMSAT Store (store.amsat.org) by selecting the “2016 AMSAT-NA Symposium Registration” link found under “Bestsellers” on the right hand side of the store’s main page. Registration for the Symposium is $40.00 and includes a copy of the “Proceedings” that contains papers written for the Symposium as well as technical documentation that AMSAT is placing in the public domain. The “Proceedings” will be available to attendees onboard ship. In addition, the registration provides a means to confirm the number of individuals in your party planning to attend the AMSAT Banquet as well as an opportunity to reserve seats for the Field Ops Breakfast. Both meals are open to anyone wishing to attend (AMSAT Registration is not necessary) and there is no charge for either event as food is included in your cruise package. However, by indicating how many individuals will be attending, it helps to ensure that sufficient seating is made available for each activity. As the AMSAT Office will not be open after Monday, 7 NOV 16 through that week, we ask that your Symposium Registration be received at the AMSAT office by Friday, 4 NOV 16.

Global Geo SATCOM system? and WSPR back
by Stewart Todd Morgan 08 Oct '16

08 Oct '16

Just so folks are aware, some amateur radio balloons have been using WSPR in conjunction with APRS in order to track global flights. For example, W7QO has used WSPR transmitters on solar powered floater flights at about 13000 meters/40000 ft. The data are collected using the global WSPR network, and then an APRS posit is created to make the balloon's position available. If you look at https://tracker.habhub.org at the present time, you can see one W7QO's balloons (the HIRFW-6 flight presently near the Mediterranean Sea) that use use this WSPR/APRS combination. The balloon is transmitting WSPR on 20 meters, and you can see it on the WSPR map, although the WSPR call changes (I believe it depends on position). HIRFW-5 is another such flight that is currently aloft. Todd AL0I

Improving intelligibility on FM satellites
by Ronald G. Parsons 07 Oct '16

07 Oct '16

I have investigated increasing intelligibility of the FM satellites as received by my Flex-6500. At first I suspected the demodulation by SmartSDR. This was tested by paralleling the downlink transverted signal to the Flex-6500 and to an Icom IC-R8500. Tests showed no significant difference between SmartSDR NFM (11 kHz) and R8500 FM (12 kHz) The NFM has better intelligibility than FM (16 kHz) for SmartSDR both uplink and downlink. However, a significant improvement was obtained by adjusting the RX EQ in SmartSDR to match my speakers and ears. An easy and cheap fix and it applies to whatever speakers and radios you are using. The link below shows the EQ I am using. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-Jez46MB5RaVXBMeFNBYU5wRWc/view?usp=shari… Ron W5RKN

Re: [amsat-bb] Global Geo SATCOM system? and WSPR back
by Robert Bruninga 07 Oct '16

07 Oct '16

Another possible APRS Message return path is to use very low power, reliable WSPR links. Although WSPR only communicates CALLSIGN and then GRID, and POWER in only 22 bits, we have already exploited simple FIVE DIGIT communications on our next QIKCOM- satellite (awaiting launch). http://aprs.org/qikcom-2.html Via QIKCOM-2, any user with only a DTMF Ham Radio HT can communicate into the global APRS system using even an ICOM-2AT that is 40 years old. Using 4 digit codes we can communicate: · Grid position · Any of the 43 ARRL Radiograms · Including a 2 digit modifier in some messages with variables · Such as #30 which can say any of the 14 Maritime emergency codes · And there are still thousands of codes remaining in the 22 bit space. See now we are proposing to experiment with a parallel WSPR return path for this OUTNET Ham Radio OUTERNET experiment. http://aprs.org/wspr-out.html So, if you are playing with WSPR in addition to your AMSAT interests, let me know. Bob Bruninga, WB4APR *From:* Robert Bruninga [mailto:[email protected]] *Sent:* Wednesday, October 05, 2016 6:52 PM *Subject:* Global Geo SATCOM system? AMSAT tinkerers? OUTERNET is a free worldwide Geostationary Satellite downlink system designed to bring content to remote areas all over the globe. They have six geostationary birds covering the entire globe EVERYWHERE. All you need is a small 18” (or 36” in some very remote areas) to receive content via your own home-made receiver based on a TV dongle and Rasberry Pi. Is there anyone on AMSAT-bb that is already receiving this content? We’d like to hear about how easy it is to set up a receiver. We have some ideas on how this can be used to augment Ham radio in our Emergency Response and remote operations missions. See http://aprs.org/outnet.html Bob, WB4APR

F.S. Funcube and Amsat pre amp
by Michael 07 Oct '16

07 Oct '16

Once again I find myself in the unfortunate situation of having to sell some ham gear because of hardship in my family. I have a Funcube Dongle Pro + and a short cable adapter that goes from the Funcube outlet to a female F connector. Priced to sell quick at 105.00 which includes shipping to anywhere in the lower 48 states. I also have an Amsat broadband preamp that has never been used. There is some wear and tear on the label to the preamp but it is still clear enough to determine the input and output connections. The price on it is $35.00 dollars including shipping to anywhere in the lower 48 states. I cannot claim these items to be smoke free. There is absolutely no smoking in the radio room but there is a smoker elsewhere in the house. I'm sorry but I cannot handle any kind of international shipping at this time. PAYPAL ONLY. Pictures can be sent if requested but these are two small items and I guarantee them to work. If you would like you can check my seller feedback on e-bay under w4hij. Stay tuned as their may be more stuff coming down the line to be posted for sale. Please contact me off list if you are interested. Thank you and 73, Michael, W4HIJ
