My plans for 4-5 June - CANCELLED
by Patrick STODDARD (WD9EWK/VA7EWK) 05 Jun '16

05 Jun '16

Hi! As some (many?) of you may have already seen on Twitter, or figured out if you listened on some passes today, I had to cancel my plans for this weekend. I had arrived in Show Low AZ Friday evening, and then received a call from home about a family issue that forced me to turn around and drive right back to Phoenix. Things are now better at home, but I was not able to attend this morning's White Mountain Hamfest nor follow through on my plans to visit different NPOTA sites this afternoon and tomorrow. I apologize to those who were hoping to work me from those locations (and rarely heard grids). I don't know if or when I can make it out to Petrified Forest National Park again. It's about a 4-hour drive from Phoenix. My plans for next weekend will now include a Sunday stop in the Flagstaff area, so I can try to operate from NPOTA sites in that area - including Sunset Crater Volcano and Wupatki National Monuments north of Flagstaff. I still plan on attending the Prescott Hamfest next Saturday (11 June), which will be at the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Prescott campus. I'll write more about that hamfest, and more details about my post-hamfest plans, in the next few days. 73! Patrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK http://www.wd9ewk.net/ Twitter: @WD9EWK

[ANS thanks AMSAT-UK for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- ÑUSAT-1 SSB/CW Transponder Satellite Launched ÑUSAT-1, carrying an amateur radio 435/145 MHz linear transponder and a 436 MHz telemetry beacon, was launched May 30, 2016 at 0317 UT on a CZ-4B rocket from Taiyuan. With ÑUSAT-1 on the launch was its sister satellite ÑUSAT-2 which has a 437 MHz beacon. UPDATE May 30, 2016 at 1300 UT: ÑUSAT-1 and ÑUSAT-1 launched and deployed successfully, signals reported from both telemetry beacons. Satellogic reports “All Systems: Nominal”. AMSAT-LU reports both satellites are sending strong TLM on 436.445/437.445 at 9K6/19K2 GFSK. During first few days they are being stabilized, after that the U/V linear transponder will be activated on ÑUSAT-1. A notice will be given on the AMSAT Bulletin Board (AMSAT-BB). As we quoted when the announcement of the launching of this experiment, Amsat Argentina has been working for several years to keep alive the dream of many Argentine amateurs to get back into Space with their own satellite as a follow- on of the legendary 1990’s LUSAT-1, reaping the benefits of Technological advancement of our days. We believe technical activities and developments of experiments in near space share the same goals: preserving the human group, enhancing their capabilities as well as disseminate and guiding the education and development of the activity, meanwhile contributing to Space available resources. Our agreement with Satellogic Enterprises, which already launched three low orbit satellites: Captain Beto, Manolito y Tita, two of which transmit telemetry and data currently in UHF identifying themselves with callsign LU7AA, allowed us to ride a linear analog amateur radio transponder and corresponding antenna aboard one of their next satellite, ÑUSAT-1 AMSAT-LU provides simultaneously, support for this mission and the ÑUSAT-2 mission, by operating one of the control stations at Tortuguitas, Prov. Of Bs.As. The experiment Amsat-LU developed, evolved from original design of our colleague and partner William, PE1RAH, while electronic adaptation, mechanical and software was made by the LU Satellite Experiment group, mounted on a 10 x 10 centimeters radiating plate, in which components of the power supply as well as a duplexer and dual band antenna where also incorporated. This set was installed on the Ñusat-1 bus, which supplies power and becomes part of several other experiments this satellite will make. The transponder receives UHF which is broadcasted in VHF, has a bandwidth of 30 kHz. with an output power of 250 mW. 435.935 ~ 435.965 are LSB/CW uplink passband 145.965 ~ 145.935 are USB/CW downlink passband 145.900 Basic CW Telemetry The launch will be from a Chinese launcher in a polar orbit at 500 km. height, with inclination of 97 degrees from Equator. see http://www.amsat.org.ar https://www.facebook.com/Amsat.LU http://lusex.org.ar http://amsat.org.ar/pass.htm [ANS thanks AMSAT-UK and AMSAT-Argentia for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- ZF2AE from Grand Cayman via Satellite Cayman Islands (EK99) - Adrian, AA5UK will be QRV as ZF2AE from Grand Cayman, IOTA NA-016 from June 27, 2016 - July 2, 2016.

by Bill Dillon 04 Jun '16

04 Jun '16

As long as it's not poring rain (and we've had a lot of that Texas lately!), I will attempt to work the 12:20z and 14:00z passes of SO-50 tomorrow (June 4), as well as the 19:30z pass of AO-85 with my trusty Arrow and HT. I'll be on the USS Stewart (destroyer escort), and as the USS Cavalla (sub) is adjoining, you get MSWE credit for two ships for the contact. I'll be using our club call sign of KK5W, and I'm still in my home grid of EL29. 73 de Bill, KG5FQX
