AMSAT Ambassador Presentations
by Clint Bradford 05 Oct '22

05 Oct '22

AMSAT Ambassador and ARRL instructor Clint Bradford, K6LCS, has these upcoming "Working Amateur Satellites With Your HT” sessions ... -Tri-State Amateur Radio Society, Indiana -Northern CA DX Club -Radio Amateurs of Greater Syracuse (NY) … and a re-scheduled presentation to SOARA - the South Orange County (CA) Amateur Radio Association. Clint’s local ER and cardiologist had unplanned and unexpected procedures for him last month when the SOARA session was originally scheduled - but all is a “GO!” now for SOARA! AMSAT Ambassadors make it their missions to show ALL that they really can work FM voice satellites - including the International Space Station - with minimal equipment … gear that many probably already own. Clint has presented his session more than 150 times to clubs, conventions, and hamfests in the US, Canada, and Great Britain. A recent attendee wrote: "I really enjoyed Clint’s presentation last night. The fact that he had taken the time to research and know something about his audience and welcomed interaction made it very informative and enjoyable. This was a refreshing change from many canned YouTube presentations I’ve tried to watch, which were poorly done, fuzzy video or muddy audio, or a badly prepared presenter stumbling his way through, with any valuable info lost along the way. Thanks for hooking this one up.” Do you think your club or convention would be interested in a 75-minute live Zoom presentation on working the “easy” satellites? Send an email or call!

Raspberry Pi - GPredict - Define Serial Port
by Brian Clark 04 Oct '22

04 Oct '22

Hello Everyone, I am using a CNCTRK AZ/EL Rotor, which is controlled with an Arduino based controller using the Yaesu rotor based commands. I normally use SATPC32 to control this system, but would like to test GPredict also. In the Arduino Sketch, there are a couple of notations that seem to define the comport, but am not sure where to integrate this in the Raspbian version of Linux to allow GPredict to control the rotor. Here are the two lines in the Arduino Sketch: For use with GPredict, substitute your serial port in the following commands: rotctl -m 603 -r /dev/ttyUSB0 -s 9600 (for testing the communications) rotctld -m 603 -r /dev/ttyUSB0 -s 9600 & (to start a daemon as needed for GPredict) I also read a reference to starting the Daemon, where might this be found? Any guidance is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Brian

TheEventbrite link to sign up is: https://ariss-proposal-webinar-fall-2022.eventbrite.com The Opportunity Crew members aboard the International SpaceStation will participate in scheduled Amateur Radio contacts. These radiocontacts are approximately 10 minutes in length and allow students to interactwith the astronauts through a question-and-answer session. An ARISS contact is a voice-only communicationopportunity via Amateur Radio between astronauts and cosmonauts aboard thespace station and classrooms and communities. ARISS contacts afford educationaudiences the opportunity to learn firsthand from astronauts what it is like tolive 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 humanspaceflight and the complexity of scheduling activities aboard the ISS,organizations must demonstrate flexibility to accommodate changes in dates andtimes of the radio contact. Amateur Radio organizations around the worldwith the support of NASA and space agencies in Russia, Canada, Japan and Europepresent educational organizations with this opportunity. The ham radioorganizations’ volunteer efforts provide the equipment and operational supportto enable communication between crew on the ISS and students around the worldusing Amateur Radio.
