FS: New Comet CF-416B diplexer
by John Geiger 22 May '22

22 May '22

I have for sale a brand new Comet CF-416B 2m/70cm diplexer. It has a SO239 connector for the common feed, and a PL259 connector on a lead for the 1.3 to 170mhz side, and a N male connector on a lead for the 350-540mhz side. Rated at 500 watts for UHF and 800 watts for VHF. This is a great way to use an Icom 9700, 910H, 821, 820, Yaesu FT847, or Kenwood TS2000 or TS790 with 1 dual band antenna. Or you can use or 2 separate radios with 1 antenna to get full duplex on the satellites. Comet sent this to me new as a warranty replacement item, and I just hooked it up to make sure it worked. Other than that, it is unused. HRO sells these new for $53 plus tax and shipping. I am asking $40 shipped and can take paypal/check/MO. 73 John AF5CC

AMSAT NEWS SERVICE ANS-142 The AMSAT News Service bulletins are a free, weekly news and information service of AMSAT, The Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation. ANS publishes news related to Amateur Radio in Space including reports on the activities of a worldwide group of Amateur Radio operators who share an active interest in designing, building, launching and communicating through analog and digital Amateur Radio satellites. The news feed on http://www.amsat.org publishes news of Amateur Radio in Space as soon as our volunteers can post it. Please send any amateur satellite news or reports to: ans-editor [at] amsat.org You can sign up for free e-mail delivery of the AMSAT News Service Bulletins via the ANS List; to join this list see: https://mailman.amsat.org/postorius/lists/ans.amsat.org/ In this edition: * ARISS Looks Forward to Installation of Additional Radio * AMSAT/TAPR Banquet Honors Bob Bruninga, WB4APR (SK) * AMSAT Member Melissa Pore, KM4CZN, is 2022 AFA Virginia Teacher of the Year * No Changes to TLEs This Week * ARISS News * Upcoming Satellite Operations * Hamfests, Conventions, Maker Faires, and Other Events * Satellite Shorts From All Over ANS-142 AMSAT News Service Weekly Bulletins To: All RADIO AMATEURS From: Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation 712 H Street NE, Suite 1653 Washington, DC 20002 DATE 2022 May 21 ARISS Looks Forward to Installation of Additional Radio An additional amateur radio system has been delivered to the International Space Station, and it is expected that astronauts will install it in the next few weeks. The installation will mean that the Amateur Radio on the ISS (ARISS) will no longer have to switch periodically between FM voice cross band repeater mode and APRS packet mode. Rather, both operating modes will be able to be activated simultaneously. ARISS International Chair Frank Bauer, KA3HDO, made the announcement during the ARISS Forum at the Hamvention in Xenia, Ohio yesterday. The additional equipment was delivered to the space station about six weeks ago, Bauer said. However, the demands on the astronauts' time are such that the installation can only take place when their schedule allows. The ARISS team is hopeful that the installation can be completed in the next week or two, barring any complications. Digital APRS messages and cross band voice contacts via the ISS are both very popular modes of operation among earthbound operators. Signals from the ISS are quite loud and easily heard with very simple equipment. ARISS has been scheduling a switch of modes approximately once each month, so that the ARISS system is in packet mode for one month, followed by a month of FM voice repeater operation. The new capability will allow both of these popular modes to be constantly available.

This dinner, always a highlight of the AMSAT (Radio Amateur Satellite Corp.) and TAPR (Tucson Amateur Packet Radio) activities during the Dayton Hamvention, was dedicated to honoring the life and accomplishments of long time amateur satellite and amateur packet pioneer Bob Bruninga, WB4APR, who passed away in February. Reminiscenses of Bob and his career as a professor of engineering at the U.S. Naval Academy were offered by Bob McGwier, N4HY, and by Frank Bauer, KA3HDO. Following these presentations, a number of attendees offered anecdotes about Bob's work -- often behind the scenes -- to facilitate amateur satellites and to develop enhanced modes of digital communication. Stories about Bob's enthusiasm for creative projects and his generosity in sharing his time as teacher and mentor, were central to the memories of those who had met him and who benefited from his work. Lively table conversations covered a broad variety of topics, including the celebration of some new amateurs who had just passed their Technician exams earlier in the day. [ANS thanks Mark Johns, K0JM, for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- AMSAT Member Melissa Pore, KM4CZN, is 2022 AFA Virginia Teacher of the Year Melissa Pore, KM4CZN, has been named by the Air and Space Force Association to be their Virginia State Teacher of the Year. The presentation was made May 17 at Bishop O'Connell High School in Arlington, VA, where Pore teaches. the award was presented by Linda McMahon, AFA Virginia State President. Pore is a member of AMSAT, an Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) Education Committee member, and an ambassador for the ARISS program. Melissa is an educational leader in aerospace working with groups like NASA's Space Communications and Navigation (SCaN), NASA Intern Program, Space Center Houston SEEC Crew, and the Center for Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS) through the International Space Station National Lab. She currently focuses her space passion as an engineering teacher. In addition to teaching engineering and computer science, she is involved in the school’s amateur radio and engineering clubs. While she was a teacher at St. Thomas More Elementary School, Pore was associated with the STMSAT-1 project. The Earth-observation CubeSat, built entirely by students at the school, was launched in 2015 but failed to transmit any images. It was the first satellite constructed by elementary schoolers. Pore wrote, "I’m so proud to have been selected by the Air and Space Force Association to be the Virginia State Teacher of the Year. I look forward to representing the AFA Steele Chapter and the state of Virginia in expanding aerospace opportunities for all. Thank you Linda McMahon and Mike Maxwell for presenting the award in front of my students snd colleagues with such powerful words and sentiments. Thank you especially to Dr. Vorbach and all the DJO Administration for providing this special day. And most importantly, thank you students and fellow teachers-we excel together. I was overwhelmed with emotions and excitement as I listened to Megan Good Tucker talk about the significance of the award in the midst of such great challenges all around us. It definitely takes passion and fortitude. Thank you for this incredible honor. I can’t wait to pay it forward! I feel like I just got rocket fuel in my jet engines!"

Project leaders said science operations will likely end in July as the output of the spacecraft’s two solar panels, coated with dust, drops below critical levels. (ANS thanks SpaceNews.com for the above information) + The rumors are flying after satellite operator Globalstar announced an agreement this week with “a large, global customer” to build out a new communications network, just months after announcing that an unidentified “potential customer” had put up more than $300 million to finance the purchase of 13 new satellites. The scuttlebutt is that Apple is behind these deals, with the goal of using Globalstar to provide satellite connectivity to a future iPhone. (ANS thanks qz.com for the above information) + U.S. Senators Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Marco Rubio (R-FL) introduced a bill to create a Space National Guard, which may be a way for the Space Force to retain personnel as they leave active duty. (ANS thanks The Orbital Index for the above information) + An orbital launch attempt by Chinese startup iSpace suffered failure early Friday, May 13, following on from two failures last year. The fourth Hyperbola-1, a four-stage solid rocket, lifted off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in the Gobi Desert at 3:09 a.m. Eastern May 13. Apparent launch footage appeared on a Chinese social media site shortly after launch but a period of silence followed, extending well past the time at which a similar launch could have been declared successful. (ANS thanks SpaceNews.com for the above information) + The aging shuttle-era spacesuits aboard the International Space Station have been declared “no-go” for operational, normally planned spacewalks pending analysis to determine what led to excess water getting into an astronaut’s helmet during a March excursion, officials confirmed on May 17. But the bulky spacesuits — “extra-vehicular mobility units,” or EMUs — can still be used for emergency repairs or to resolve other unexpected issues if agency managers agree after assessing the overall risk.

I have been searching the list archives with no success for the past emails that discussed this. I seem to remember a few emails discussing an excel file that showed the different linear satellites and the uplink and downlink frequencies, to account for doppler shift, at different points in the passband at different points in the pass. Can anyone direct me to this resource? I can't seem to find it currently. Thanks in advance, 73 John AF5CC

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.
