Ham TV to Return to the ISS
During the AMSAT-UK Space Colloquium on October 8th, AMSAT announced the
Ham TV unit for the ISS is repaired and on the way to Houston for testing.
The flight date dependent on testing.
Ham TV has been inoperative since April 2018. It had been active since
April 2014, having been launched to the ISS in 2013. It was returned to
earth for diagnosis and repair in late 2018.
The ARISS Ham TV transmitter is capable of downlinking DVB-S digital video
of ARISS contacts and other activities on board the ISS to amateur ground
stations in the 2.3 GHz amateur band. More information can be found at
https://www.ariss.org/hamtv-on-the-iss.html
[ANS thanks ARISS for the above information]

Changes to the AMSAT TLE Distribution for October 13, 2022
Two Line Elements or TLEs, often referred to as Keplerian elements or keps
in the amateur community, are the inputs to the SGP4 standard mathematical
model of spacecraft orbits used by most amateur tracking programs. Weekly
updates are completely adequate for most amateur satellites. TLE bulletin
files are updated Thursday evenings around 2300 UTC, or more frequently if
new high interest satellites are launched. More information may be found at
https://www.amsat.org/keplerian-elements-resources/
The following satellite has decayed from orbit and has been removed from
this week's AMSAT-NA TLE distribution:
RamSat NORAD Cat ID 48850 (decayed from orbit on 10/12/22 per Space-Track).

Satellite Shorts From All Over

Welcome Josh Cassada, KI5CRH, and Koici Wakata, KI5TMN. Listen for them
making ARISS student contacts and maybe just working from the ARISS
repeater.
+ AO-27's timer has drifted enough to be workable for a few minutes from
the northern United States, Canada, and much of Europe. If you're in these
areas, give it a listen.
+ AO-27's timer drift has allowed a new distance record to be set on the
satellite. Joe Werth, KE9AJ, at a SOTA summit in Blue Mounds, WI (EN53ba)
worked Nick Garbett, M1DDD/P in IO83ru on October 5, 2022 at 12:22 UTC. The
satellite was at 59 degrees north during the QSO. A distance record on this
satellite is greatly complicated by the 3.5 minutes the satellite is
activated on each orbit.

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 (STEAM) 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.

I've noticed FM stations on FO-29 uplink a few times too. Don't
think they know they're in a satellite uplink part of 2m. Sometimes
you can catch a callsign and contact them about it.

HI All
I've noticed on the last few RS44 passes that there seems to be an constant
carrier signal, maybe FM showing up.
My guess that this is a rogue signal from someone with a couple of hand
held using them illegally someplace in the US. Likely they have no clue of
the impact.
On a waterfall, it is pretty easy to see the carrier and the sidebands
associated with it.
Thoughts?

ARISS Contact Applications (United States)
Call for Proposals
The next proposal window for US schools and educational organizations to host an Amateur Radio contact with a crew member on board the ISS opens October 1, 2022 for contacts to be scheduled for July 1, 2023 – December 31, 2023. This proposal is due to ARISS by November 13, 2022 at 11:59 PM Pacific Time (2022-11-14 07:59 UTC). (***)

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 (STEAM) 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.

I read a message from Jerry, N5EKO, that the gentleman's agreement is to
operate 3-10 kHz above the bottom band edge. WSJT-X may show you about 2.5
to 3 kHz of passband on a typical computer screen. So, that 7 kHz seems a
bit much to monitor all at once. I think it'd be easier to just pick a
standard calling offset from the bottom band edge to monitor when the
satellite is passing. If we all started listening to +3 kHz to +5.5 kHz
USB FT4 mode from the band edge it's a simple rule of thumb and we know
where to listen to those signals seemingly under the noise floor. Many
users don't have a band scope. So, a designated offset would be helpful.
Example: RS-44 Satellite downlink passband is 435.61 - 435.67 MHz
Listen or CQ by setting SATPC32 satellite (not rig since it changes due to
doppler) frequency to 435.613 USB mode and choosing FT4 on WSJT-X
so, the satellite (not rig) downlink frequency for
FO-29 = 435.803
AO-07 = 145.928
HO-113 = 435.168
and so forth for other satellites. Maybe the XWs, CAs, JO-97, and EO-88
birds would be good for FT4, too.
