Thank you, Conejo Valley ARC
by Clint Bradford 17 Sep '21

17 Sep '21

THANK YOU, Conejo Valley Amateur Radio Club, for filling the Zoom Room tonight for my "Working the Amateur Radio FM Voice Satellites" presentation! The region has been hit by COVID, but they currently have EIGHTEEN soon-to-be hams mid-way through one of their licensing classes! They have been supporting the ARRL for more than 50 years as a Special Service Club. AMSAT member Brad, W6VO, reminded me that when I last spoke to them about 9 years ago, I stopped in mid-sentence during the show, looked at my watch, and announced: "Let's go outside and work a satellite!" And we did - SO-50 went right over the Sheriff's Station! Thanks for the invitation ... maybe in nine years we'll meet again and work a geosynchronous bird over the Americas! http://www.cvarc.org/ <https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cvarc.org%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwA…> <https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10228398873736073&set=a.2216915661557&…> Like Comment Share

ARISS anticipates that the contact would be held between July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022. Crew scheduling and ISS orbits will determine the exact contact dates. To maximize these radio contact opportunities, ARISS is looking for organizations that will draw large numbers of participants and integrate the contact into a well-developed education plan. The deadline to submit a proposal is November 24th, 2021. Proposal information and more details such as expectations, proposal guidelines and the proposal form can be found at https://ariss-usa.org/hosting-an-ariss-contact-in-the-usa/. An ARISS Introductory Webinar session will be held on October 7th, 2021 at 8 PM ET. The Eventbrite link to sign up is: https://ariss-proposal-webinar-fall-2021.eventbrite.com The Opportunity Crew members aboard the International Space Station will participate in scheduled Amateur Radio contacts. These radio contacts are approximately 10 minutes in length and allow students to interact with the astronauts through a question-and-answer session. An ARISS contact is a voice-only communication opportunity via Amateur Radio between astronauts and cosmonauts aboard the space station and classrooms and communities. ARISS contacts afford education audiences the opportunity to learn firsthand from astronauts what it is like to live and work in space and to learn about space research conducted on the ISS. Students also will have an opportunity to learn about satellite communication, wireless technology, and radio science. Because of the nature of human spaceflight and the complexity of scheduling activities aboard the ISS, organizations must demonstrate flexibility to accommodate changes in dates and times of the radio contact. Amateur Radio organizations around the world with the support of NASA and space agencies in Russia, Canada, Japan and Europe present educational organizations with this opportunity. The ham radio organizations’ volunteer efforts provide the equipment and operational support to enable communication between crew on the ISS and students around the world using Amateur Radio. Please direct any questions to ariss.us.education(a)gmail.com. For future proposal information and more details such as expectations, proposal guidelines and proposal form, and dates and times of Information Webinars, go to www.ariss.org.

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).
