ARISS News Release No. 21-64 Dave Jordan, AA4KN ARISS PR aa4kn(a)amsat.org FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ARISS Contact is Scheduled for Students at Notre Dame Jogakuin Junior and Senior High School, Kyoto, Japan December 7, 2021—Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) has received schedule confirmation for an ARISS radio contact with astronauts. ARISS is the group that puts together special amateur radio contacts between students around the globe and crew members with ham radio licenses on the International Space Station (ISS). This will be a direct contact via amateur radio between students in Kyoto, Japan, and Astronaut Raja Chari, amateur radio call sign KI5LIU. Students will take turns asking their questions. Local Covid-19 protocols are adhered to as applicable for each ARISS contact. The downlink frequency for this contact is 145.800 MHZ and may be heard by listeners that are within the ISS-footprint that also encompasses the radio relay ground station. Amateur radio operators in Kyoto, Japan, using the 8N3ND call sign, will operate the ham radio ground station for this contact. The ARISS radio contact is scheduled for December 9, 2021 at 5:33 pm JST (Kyoto, Japan), (8:33 UTC, 3:33 am EST, 2:33 am CST, 1:33 am MST and 12:33 am PST). Notre Dame Jogakuin Junior and Senior High School was established for women in 1952. The school’s programs leading up to this contact have incorporated studies of amateur radio, the ISS, living in space, space exploration, and earth sciences. Other student activities involved experiments in electronics related to space, space food, and learning about the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. To publicize the ARISS contact to other youth, students provided illustrations for an information booth during the Tachibana school festival. The public is invited to watch the live stream at: https://youtu.be/9q7szmwEz4o _____________________________ As time allows, students will ask these questions (Translation): 1. When did you decide to become an astronaut? 2. Was your mission impacted by COVID-19 restrictions? What measures were taken to stay safe and healthy? 3. How many pieces of luggage can you usually bring from the earth? Also, what did you bring this time? 4. How do you move from a spacecraft or rocket to the ISS? 5. What is the best thing about being in space? 6. What was the most dangerous thing you experienced? 7. What do you do if you get ill? 8. What do you want to do after you come back to earth?　 9. How did you learn English? 10. How do you maintain levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the ISS? 11. What made you want to become an astronaut? 12. What did you think when you first experienced weightlessness? 13. At what altitude are you flying? _____________________________ ARISS – Celebrating 20 Years of Continuous Amateur Radio Operations on the ISS 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).

AMSAT-HB has been established
by Thomas Frey 07 Dec '21

07 Dec '21

A new amateur radio satellite organisation *AMSAT-HB* was formed in Switzerland on November 26, 2021. With QO-100, interest in amateur radio services via satellites has also risen sharply in Switzerland. But not only the geostationary satellite fascinates the radio amateurs: The ARISS project (space station ISS), low-flying satellites, tracking of scientific deep space missions, etc., are attracting more and more attention. More and more experiments are being carried out with SDR technology in these areas. But the colleges and universities are also increasingly concerned with the topic and are looking for help from various radio amateurs in Switzerland. These and other radio amateurs were of the opinion that it was time to join forces in Switzerland. For this reason, the AMSAT-HB was founded on Friday, November 26th, 2021 in Nottwil, Lucerne. The association has set itself the goal of promoting the amateur radio service via satellites in Switzerland, but also internationally. The President of AMSAT-DL, *Peter Gülzow - DB2OS*, was involved in this project in advance. He suggested the establishment of an AMSAT-HB early on and also used his knowledge to help design it. When it was founded, Peter Gülzow took on the role of godparent and led the founding meeting live from Hanover via Web. The following radio amateurs were involved as founding members (alphabetically according to callsign - the board positions in brackets) • DB2OS, Peter Gülzow (founding god and now honorary member of AMSAT-HB) • HB9ARK, Martin Klaper (Technical Responsible) • HB9CQK, Frédéric Furrer • HB9DUN / DH2VA, Achim Vollhardt • HB9MFL, Armin Rösch • HB9SKA, Thomas Frey (Actuary and Treasurer ad interim) • HB9RYZ, Wolfgang Sidler (Vice President) • HB9WDF, Michael Lipp (President) One of the first decisions of the association was to apply to the USKA for collective membership.

Please Help - SDRUno Setup
by kodiak 07 Dec '21

07 Dec '21

Relative Newbie to Oscar Satellite Telemetry using SDR's, and need some help from the masters. *Problem:* Output audio is distorted, although sig strength is relatively strong. Over the past few days, I succeeded in decoding nine packets on AO-95, both on two strong overhead passes, but now have slipped backward. I’ve tried to duplicate my settings used during the successful decodes, but no luck, must be some small, obscure (but critical) setting that I am missing. Setup details follow below: *Antenna:* 2M and 70CM WIMO X-Quads on 6ft boom (no rotor, both fixed at 35deg). Boom is attached to an aluminum mast and elevated @ 30ft. *Feedlines:* Both antennas have WIMO factory-made Phasing Cables attached (verified polarity of cables) providing RHCP. Phasing Cables are connected to a CF-4160 Comet Duplexor, then fed to the shack on 70ft of LMR-400. I use the same antennas with my FT-847 for Satellite QSO’s, and it works fine; the setup also works efficiently (despite RHCP) on local repeaters. *SDR Device:* SDRPlay RSP1A ( I have two, the problem is the same on both) SDR S/W: SDRUNO V1.41 *SDRUNO MAIN WINDOW: * - Notch: MW/FM Enabled (ON) - FINAL SR: 2000000 - IFBW: 1.536MHz (LIF) - GAIN: DECIMATION 1 - USB Transfer Mode: ISOCH - IF AGC: Unchecked (OFF) - OUT: (output device) – VB CABLE-OUT - LOCK OUTPUT & AUDIO LIMITERS – Checked *SDRUNO RX CONTROL WINDOW: * - MODE: FM FM MODE: NFM - FILTER: 12K - ALL ELSE UNCHECKED (OF) *AMSAT Telemetry Analysis Tool:* V1.11g - INPUT: -Mode DUV Selected Input: VB CABLE 4800 (AF) - DUV FILTER: Raised Cosine - Cutoff Freq: 200 Filter: 448 *Virtual Cable CODECS: * Set to 16 Bit 48,000 (Dvd Quality) - Audio Enhancements are OFF *PC:* Windows 10 Latest Version - Computer has Fast Gaming level CPU and lots of RAM I can feed downloaded telemetry files into the AMSAT S/W, which decodes fine. The Antennas could be a problem if the polarization is off, but the signal strength is good. I’m convinced the problem is an S/W setting clipping the audio, but hoping to get someone to chime in with a possible solution. I’ve attached links to three MP3 files of the distorted carrier heard on AO-95 SAFE MODE. Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me dial in the settings.
