CJ7EWK/3 road trip update
by Patrick STODDARD (WD9EWK/VA7EWK) 13 May '19

13 May '19

Hi! After spending Sunday at Point Pelee National Park, the southernmost point on the Canadian mainland in grid EN81, I made it up to Toronto this afternoon. I made a stop to visit Pierre VE3KTB, one of the VY0ERC crew who worked satellites from the Canadian Arctic. Had lunch with him, too. Great guy! After that, I made it to the traffic of Canada's largest city. I was able to work some SO-50 and AO-92 passes from the FN03/FN04 grid boundary in Aurora, Ontario - north of Toronto. Not much radio today, but it helped to make Monday a (mostly) driving day. Tentative plans for Tuesday... probably staying around Toronto. I may be able to return to the FN03/FN04 grid boundary for some daytime passes. I probably won't leave the Toronto area until the evening. I'm looking to get into grid FN14 either Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning for passes, as that grid is still one that appears to be in demand. Please follow my @WD9EWK Twitter feed, or visit http://twitter.com/WD9EWK for updates. APRS is working up here in Ontario, so you can also see where I'm going at http://aprs.fi/WD9EWK-9 in a web browser. 73!

International Space Station Astronauts are Calling CQ Students ARISS-US program’s education proposal window is open April 1 - May 15, 2019 March 24, 2019: The Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) program is seeking proposals beginning April 1, 2019, from US schools, museums, science centers and community youth organizations (working individually or together) to host radio contacts with an orbiting crew member aboard the International Space Station (ISS) between January 1, 2020 and June 30, 2020. Each year, ARISS provides tens of thousands of students with learning opportunities about space technologies, communications, and much more through the exploration of Amateur Radio and space. The ARISS program connects students to astronauts on the ISS through a partnership between NASA, the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation, the American Radio Relay League, other Amateur Radio global organizations and the worldwide space agencies. The program’s goal is to inspire students to pursue interests and careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and in Amateur Radio. Educators report regularly that student participation in the ARISS program stimulates interest in STEM subjects and STEM careers. One educator wrote, “Many of the middle school students who took part in and attended the ARISS contact have selected science courses in high school as a result of that contact.” Educators are setting up ham radio clubs in schools and learning centers because of students’ interest. ARISS is looking for organizations that will draw large numbers of participants and integrate the contact into a well-developed, exciting education plan. Students can learn about satellite communications, wireless technology, science research conducted on the ISS, radio science, and other STEM subjects. Students learn to use Amateur Radio to talk directly to an astronaut and ask their STEM-related questions. ARISS will help educational organizations locate Amateur Radio groups who can assist with equipment for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for students. The proposal window opens April 1, 2019 and the proposal deadline is May 15, 2019.

ARISS News Release (ANR) No. 19-10

ARISS News Release No. 19-10 Dave Jordan, AA4KN ARISS PR aa4kn(a)amsat.org May 13, 2019: Hamvention and ARISS Work Together The Amateur Radio on the International Space Station team (ARISS) is pleased to announce that it is working together again with Hamvention this year. Hamvention's 2019 theme is, "Mentoring the Next Generation." ARISS's mission is all about mentoring and inspiring. Tens of thousands of people have been touched by the program: students, educators, community members, and new hams--all wanting to explore STEM and Amateur Radio through ARISS. Hamvention's support to ARISS began with approval for their first-ever ARISS Forum; it is Friday at 1:15-2:15 PM in Room 3. A group of speakers will present current and future lifelong learning activities for hams and students via ARISS SSTV, APRS, voice repeaters, radio experiments and robots. Attendees will hear about the next gen on-orbit hardware systems, updates on school activities, ARISS's visionary initiative to fly ham radio on the human spaceflight lunar Gateway, how to maximize hams' opportunities to make ARISS connections and listen to the ISS crew in home stations, and meet special guests. Hamvention will boost up ARISS by once again featuring a special ticket-drawing just minutes before the convention's famous Sunday drawing for bonus prizes. One ticket will be pulled from the drum for a lucky person to win an ARISS display case with coins. ARISS donated two ARISS Challenge Coins positioned side by side, showcased in a handsome wooden case with a brass plate. A challenge coin is the premium received by donors who give $100 or more to ARISS; the case allows the view of each of the coin's sides. The winning ticket will be tossed in the drum for a chance at all other prizes. 2019 Hamvention Prize Committee Chair Liz Clinc, KE8FMJ, wrote, "I will give you [ARISS] the same spot [at Sunday's prize event] as in previous years. As a collector of challenge coins, myself, I think this is a fabulous thing you do." The ARISS team welcomes Hamvention-goers at the ARISS booth in Building 1. A version will be featured of the Multi-Voltage Power Supply (MVPS) that ARISS will launch to replace the current aging ISS amateur radio station. ARISS hopes to boost its 2019 fund-raising campaign to help with the expensive space-rated parts required to finish building the MVPS units, and some costs of continuing ARISS operations. When Hamvention visitors donate $10, they will receive a new ARISS lapel pin and a chance in a raffle to win an ARISS Challenge Coin--the winning ticket to be drawn at the booth, 10:30 AM Sunday; the winner need not be present. For those unable to travel to Xenia, readers can donate any amount right now by going to http://www.ariss.org/donate.html And surprise-if you donate after May 16 on FundRazr.com, an anonymous benefactor will match your amount dollar for dollar, for which ARISS is very grateful. The match ends July 17, 2019. ARISS thanked everyone on the Hamvention staff whose efforts are aiding ARISS in its publicity and fund-raising goals. ARRL ARISS-US Delegate Rosalie White, K1STO, added: "We are so pleased and proud to know that Hamvention believes in the ARISS team and its goals of inspiring and mentoring STEM and Amateur Radio." About ARISS Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that support the International Space Station (ISS). In the United States, sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American Radio Relay League (ARRL), the ISS National Lab and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The primary goal of ARISS is to promote exploration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) topics by organizing scheduled contacts via amateur radio between crew members aboard the ISS and students in classrooms or public forms. Before and during these radio contacts, students, educators, parents, and communities learn about space, space technologies, and amateur radio. For more information, see www.ariss.org.
