Is there HAM radio on this ship ? Why are they using HAM for commercial interests ? Why are they on our frequencies ? Is it interference ? Are there “rules” or not ? Who are these “customers” ? Pecuniary interest is illegal in HAM ? The whole space thing seems to becoming capitalized and militarized right in front of us. Bummer. K F o G

configuring WSJTX for sat's
by jeff griffin 24 Nov '21

24 Nov '21

I'm trying to get WSJT-X configured for satellite use with my 9100. I had this running at my NJ station, and I even wrote a procedure to share if anyone wanted to try. Of course I forgot to bring a copy of the procedure with me. I remember there were some video's on the subject, but can't find anything. Anyone have a procedure to share, or a link to a video? My main issue is how to get the second copy of WSJT-X running. Thanks for any help... 73 Jeff kb2m

by Vincenzo Mone 24 Nov '21

24 Nov '21

Hi folks, Is there any one that uses the Kenwood TS-2000 and Wisp Using the internal TNC to RX/TX on Falconsat-3? I cannot get success. I can RX but cannot TX since there is signal on the SUB Band. Please can somebody give me the correct settings. Actually I have the following settings in the radio: Menu 46 MAIN Menu 47 9600Bps Menu 48 TNC BAND Menu 55 On On the main band I have set the RX frequency 435.103 FM for the Downlink and On the Sub Band the TX Frequency 145.840 FM for the Downlink. The PTT is set on the SUB band. When the MSPE program starts, I can see the STA and CON LEDs flashing for three times That indicates me the radio is gone in kiss mode. I can see the data coming in, but when I go to request the directory or a message the radio does not Go in TX since there is signal on the MAIN band. Please what am I doing wrong or which settings is wrong in the radio? Please any help will be really appreciated. 73 de Enzo IK8OZV EasyLog 5 BetaTester EasyLog PDA BetaTester WinBollet BetaTester D.C.I.

ARISS anticipates that the contact would be held between July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022. Crew scheduling and ISS orbits will determine the exact contact dates. To maximize these radio contact opportunities, ARISS is looking for organizations that will draw large numbers of participants and integrate the contact into a well-developed education plan. The deadline to submit a proposal is November 24th, 2021. Proposal information and more details such as expectations, proposal guidelines and the proposal form can be found at https://ariss-usa.org/hosting-an-ariss-contact-in-the-usa/. An ARISS Introductory Webinar session will be held on October 7th, 2021 at 8 PM ET. The Eventbrite link to sign up is: https://ariss-proposal-webinar-fall-2021.eventbrite.com The Opportunity Crew members aboard the International Space Station will participate in scheduled Amateur Radio contacts. These radio contacts are approximately 10 minutes in length and allow students to interact with the astronauts through a question-and-answer session. An ARISS contact is a voice-only communication opportunity via Amateur Radio between astronauts and cosmonauts aboard the space station and classrooms and communities. ARISS contacts afford education audiences the opportunity to learn firsthand from astronauts what it is like to live 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 human spaceflight and the complexity of scheduling activities aboard the ISS, organizations must demonstrate flexibility to accommodate changes in dates and times of the radio contact. Amateur Radio organizations around the world with the support of NASA and space agencies in Russia, Canada, Japan and Europe present educational organizations with this opportunity. The ham radio organizations’ volunteer efforts provide the equipment and operational support to enable communication between crew on the ISS and students around the world using Amateur Radio.
