Re: [amsat-bb] AMSAT-BB Digest, Vol 11, Issue 11

11 Jan 2016

      Cruising with the family during the Symposium would be a great way to partake of the meetings while the rest of the family could enjoy the amenities of the cruise .I have personally take 5 cruises including the Baltic Sea cruise to Russia. I have thoroughly enjoyed all of them and for a family outing they can't be beat. The prices are not much more than a hotel but where else can you get all the free food while enjoying foreign lands and scenery while partaking of the meetings !! I don't know why this subject was not brought up before !!  Great Idea Clayton !!  JACK- KC7MG

Launch opportunities for us may be on the rise.
A market for cubesats and other small satellites is driving development of
low-cost launch vehicles.

I don't disagree completely with Clint, that said, if you have cruised
before you know that it can be as expensive ( Penthouse Suite on the top
deck) or as inexpensive (inside stateroom on the lowest passenger deck) as
you like. I've only been on one Carnival ship and it was out of Galveston,
the next to last trip out before Hurricane Ike came ashore. I have cruised
on another line and Carnival was ok, the only issue I has was personal I
guess..and maybe it was more because it was Texas than the line...but
watching a group of guys spitting tobacco juice on the carpet in one of the
show lounges was not fun. Anyway....if you are going alone....and don't
need a porthole or balcony, I'd suggest you see about what they call the
Class 1A stateroom...they are good for single travelers but can hold 2
people (some ships are now fitted with cabins specifically for one person,
Liberty is not so there is usually a surcharge for one person in a cabin
vs. double). So if cost is a concern, there are ways to work around it.
Remember....your cabin is mainly to sleep in, typically you won't spend a
lot of time in it on a cruise so save your money on the room, you get
everything the ship has to offer.  The timing is bad for a single dad with
a kid still in H.S. so I won't be there.

Clint,
Alan?s comments are well stated.  Let me add a little more information.
The proposal to hold the 2016 AMSAT Symposium on a cruise ship was
assembled by Clayton, W5PFG.  One of his major goals was to create a
?family friendly? venue.  Where can we have a Symposium that non-ham
members of the family can attend and have a good time?
You object to the cost of a cruise.  The reality is that most cruises are
similar in price to the cost of a hotel room (hotels with conference
facilities and restaurants) *with* meals.  Note that the Symposium is not
a money-making operation and one goal is to breakeven financially.
Please note that the format of our Symposiums with published proceedings
mimics that of academic conferences.  This is important to the U.S.
Government and helps us deal with ITAR regulations.  Unfortunately, a
virtual (online) conference does not meet their requirements.
I think Clayton?s idea is a good one.  Will attendance be up or down from
recent Symposiums?  I don?t know, and we won?t know until we try.  I think
it has a very good chance to be successful.  AMSAT does a lot of
experimenting with most of our activities.  Every Symposium is an
experiment.
In general, AMSAT Symposiums are organized by a local committee of
volunteers.  Dayton was organized by Steve Coy and volunteers from DARA.
Baltimore was organized by Frank Bauer and volunteers from the Maryland
and DC area.
In this case, Clayton stepped forward, did the investigation and leg-work,
and assembled a proposal.  Note that Clayton is an active satellite
operator and an active rover.  He is not an AMSAT board member or officer.
 He?s just an AMSAT volunteer, a great guy, and a friend.

I will not be attending due to a prior commitment, so my only concern is

Thanks to Clayton, a non-board member, just a regular member like the rest of us who stepped up to the bat to have us try something new. I remember when amateur satellites were new to me. It was exciting and different - like this new venture. I am sure that, with all of the quantitative expertise on the board,  AMSAT has evaluated the cost-benefits of this venture and it passed.
Great to try something new.

I think it is a great idea to try the cruise venue. I don't see how my wife
could possibly object to being on a cruise while I am in satellite
presentations and I know she would enjoy meeting some of my radio friends.
If the attendance is particularly low, we will know not to try it again! I
just hope Carnival will be cooperative about a bunch of hams waving
satellite antennas around. Imagine that picture - a dozen guys standing on
deck in Bermuda shorts, waving Elks & Arrows, wearing headphones and talking
to one another through a satellite! Sounds like some prime material for the
AMSAT Journal about a year from now.

Hello Mike,
The good news is that DUV works with the IC-910, no mods.
For the IC-910 you need to use the same port and pin as used for 9600 full duplex satellite mode packet.   I *think* it's MAIN data port pin 4----but do NOT trust me :)   Too many radios, and too many flip-flops of main vs. sub on the different radios.   Make sure menu settings are proper for 9600 satellite packet, too, or the audio won't be coming from the right source.
Another HUGELY important matter---the sound card you are inputting into.   With the IC-910 at my QTH, the built-in sound card in the PC motherboard works pretty well, using Line In.     However, an external Apple USB audio dongle device will NOT work--it cuts off the lowe frequency and won't print any telemetry.
So, even having the right port and pin isn't enough--make sure your sound card works, too!

Hi MIke,
Yes, you certainly need to take it from data out.  Normal audio will filter
out the lows below a few hundred hertz, and that is right where the DUV
data is.  Check the specs though...sometime rigs take out all filtering on
9600 baud packet.  Some take out only the filtering on the high end.  So
you may have to hack a wire in on the other side of all the filtering.

Please join us in listening to the ISS contact with participants at
*Scuola Secondaria di Primo Grado ?Benedetto Croce?, Civate, Italy* on
Wednesday 13 January. AOS is anticipated at 1135 UTC
The duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The
contact will be a telebridge between NA1SS and VK5ZAI in South Australia.
The contact is expected to be conducted in English.
Audio from this contact will be fed into the:
EchoLink *AMSAT* Server (101377)
IRLP Node 9010 - Discovery Reflector
Streaming Audio available on https://sites.google.com/site/arissaudio/
Audio on Echolink & web stream is generally transmitted around 20 minutes
prior to the contact taking place so that you can hear some of the
preparation that occurs. IRLP will begin just prior to the ground station
call to the ISS.
Please note that breaks on IRLP and Echolink are manual, connected
repeaters may time out.
** Contact times are approximate. If the ISS executes a reboost or other
maneuver, the AOS (Acquisition Of Signal) time may alter by a few minutes **

Imagine that picture - a dozen guys standing on

to one another through a satellite! Sounds like some prime material for the
AMSAT Journal about a year from now.

Remember, once you set foot on a cruise ship you are in another country and
must have an amateur radio license issued by the country the ship is
registered in.  You must also have permission from the company and the
captain of the ship.

The Carnival Liberty is registered in Panama. An IARP will suffice and
those are easy to get.
Carnival generally allows operating, but, of course we still need to get
permission from the Captain.
