Intheir STEM program, first year students have been learning about space relatedchallenges such as building robotic arms like the Canadian-made robotic arm (Canadarm2)installed on the ISS. Students are also being supported by the school’sspecialist Science and Technology Lab. Guest expert speakers have alsopresented different aspects of space-related topics two of which included the spacetrash (space debris) orbiting Earth to the science-fiction writings of JulesVerne. This will be a direct contact via Amateur Radio allowing students to ask their questions ofAstronaut Josh Cassada, amateur radio call sign KI5CRH. Local Covid-19protocols are adhered to as applicable for each ARISS contact. The downlinkfrequency for this contact is 145.800 MHZ and may be heard by listeners thatare within the ISS-footprint that also encompasses the relay ground station.

GreenCube IO-117 via Direwolf?
by Greg D 05 Dec '22

05 Dec '22

Hi folks, My digital station is built around a Raspberry Pi 4B. While in theory I could try running the UZ7HO Modem in Box86/Wine (VARA is supposed to work there, for example), I would much prefer to run native on the Pi, with Direwolf being the software of choice. Is there a way to configure Direwolf to respond to the GreenCube tones? Thanks, Greg KO6TH

Gpredict and IC9700
by David G0MRF 04 Dec '22

04 Dec '22

Hi. I'm having some issues running Gpredict with an IC9700 using Hamlib as the interface. I wonder if anyone has a solution or any ideas? It seems Gpredict is unable to receive or send data to the radio. I have the Hamlib programme rigctl working OK. When I run it alone I can use the command line to send and receive data from the radio. e.g F 435910666 will change the radios frequency via USB without problems. I'm using the following in the shortcut and it seems to work. rigctl.exe -m 3081 -r com6 -t 4532 -s 115200 However, when running Gpredict, I cannot get any radio commands, so no Doppler tracking etc. I've used the Youtube guide by VA2CST, but clearly I've made a mistake somewhere. It looks like Gpredict is not talking to rigctl. Any help appreciated. Trying to get onto IO-117 before the radiation kills something. 73 David G0MRF
