To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-056.04
As of February 23, 2007, Our Old Friend "morse code" has now slipped
into history as a requirement for a U.S. Amateur License. The tones and
burps in the lower portions of the HF bands will become more and more
silent as those that remember CW start to become silent keys themselves.
"Silent Key" will go by the wayside as well. As a longtime Extra, I
can honestly say that getting up to speed was an excitement all its own.
Just 5 WPM for my Novice was a thrill learning those mysterious tones.
I for one, can certainly see it both as a defunct digital mode and a
unique mode to operate pulling out a QSO from those melodius tones.
Ditty dum dum ditty will have a narrower meaning from this time on.

Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) Status Report
February 20, 2007
1. Hanazono Elementary School Contact Successful
On Monday, February 12, children attending Hanazono Elementary School in
Akashi-city, Japan experienced an Amateur Radio on the International
Space Station (ARISS) contact. Twelve students were able to have twenty
questions answered by Sunita Williams, KD5PLB in front of an audience of
approximately 200 students, teachers and parents. The local government
newspaper and the local television station covered the event.
The American Radio Relay League ran an article on the contact entitled,
“Fresh Food Doesn't Last Long on ISS, Astronaut Tells Youngsters via Ham
Radio.”
See: http://www.arrl.org/news/stories/2007/02/14/101/?nc=1
2. Upcoming School Contacts
The Vasant Valley School in Vasant Kunj, New Delhi, India has been
approved for an Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS)
contact on Saturday, February 24 at 08:50 UTC, via the telebridge
station WH6PN in Hawaii. The school is organizing a workshop on amateur
radio and its applications for the students of classes VI to XII. The
CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education) introduced a new curriculum
on Emergency Disaster Management for Class X students. It has a chapter
on ‘Alternative Communication Systems’ which includes ham radio. Amateur
Radio licensing programs will be provided for training students and
teachers, and there are plans for an amateur radio club station to be
set up at the school. Students will participate in essay contests and
poster competitions, and the press will be invited to the event. The
audio from this contact will be fed into the EchoLink AMSAT (101 377)
and JK1ZRW (277 208) servers, as well as into the IRLP Discovery
Reflector 9010.
Vasant Valley School is very excited to have this opportunity to speak
with Sunita Williams, KD5PLB, and has invited all students, teachers and
parents of Delhi schools to attend the event. It has announced the
contact on its website. See:
http://www.vasantvalley.org/vasantvalley/sunitawilliams.htm

is to study current scientific and technological development. Many of
these students will continue their studies at the university, choosing
areas related to aerospace engineering and taking with them new
knowledge from this event.
The audio from this contact will be fed into the EchoLink AMSAT (101
377) and JK1ZRW (277 208) servers, as well as into the IRLP Discovery
Reflector 9010.

(not up and running currently)
To switch the transmitter on, you need to send a CTCSS tone of 74.4 Hz.
The order of operation is thus: (allow for Doppler as necessary)
1) Transmit on 145.850 MHz with a tone of 74.4 Hz to arm the 10 minute
timer
on board the spacecraft.
2) Now transmit on 145.850 MHz (FM Voice) using 67.0 Hz to PT the
repeater on
and off within the 10 Minute window.
3) Sending the 74.4 tone again within the 10 minute window will reset
the 10
minute timer.

TAPR Announces Production Of HPSDR Janus and Ozy Boards
AMSAT News Service Bulletin 049.03

February 18, 2007
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-049.03
Here is a ground floor opportunity for amateur radio operators
interested in experimenting with Software Define Radio. This
week TAPR announced production plans of the High Performance
Software Defined Radio (HPSDR) Janus and Ozy boards.
According to the HPSDR organization, the Janus module is a very
high performance, dual, full duplex, A/D and D/A converter board.
This is planned as a cost effective approach to develop a board
which approaches the performance of professional high end sound
cards. Paired with the Ozy board and with proper software, it
can act like a very high performance sound card external to the PC.
The OZY module is an FPGA based interface controller card that pro-
vides the input and output connections to the real world. OZY also
provides a high speed USB 2.0 interface to the controlling PC.
Interested radio amateurs should visit Dale's, WA8SRA HAMSDR website
http://www.hamsdr.com/. You will need to register for full access
on the site. If you are already a member and have previously
expressed interest in these projects, log in and re-enter your
quantities of each board.
If you are new to HPSDR and Dale's Website, please join for instant
access by providing the information requested.
What is HPSDR? see - http://hpsdr.org/
What is an Ozy? see - http://hpsdr.org/ozy.html

To switch the transmitter on, you need to send a CTCSS tone of 74.4 Hz.
The order of operation is thus: (allow for Doppler as necessary)
1) Transmit on 145.850 MHz with a tone of 74.4 Hz to arm the 10 minute
timer
on board the spacecraft.
2) Now transmit on 145.850 MHz (FM Voice) using 67.0 Hz to PT the
repeater on
and off within the 10 Minute window.
3) Sending the 74.4 tone again within the 10 minute window will reset
the 10

the purpose of funding the continued operation of the "Zentrales
Entwicklungslabor for Electronik", (Central Development Lab for
Electronics, aka "The ZEL").
The ZEL was established over 20 years ago at the University of
Marburg by AMSAT-DL for the purpose of satellite construction.
It is in this suite of workshops that several amateur space
frames have been constructed, integrated and tested, including
the famous OSCAR 13. The ZEL is staffed by approximately 10
engineers, technicians, administrators, etc., who are a mixture
of University employees and AMSAT-DL volunteers. The major current
project in the ZEL is the construction of the Phase 3E satellite
(P3E). Although construction is centred at the ZEL many of the
components come from other parts of the world, including the
Integrated Housekeeping Unit (IHU-3), the CAN-Do buss interface
modules, and the STAR camera from AMSAT-NA and the U/V SDX trans-
ponder module from AMSAT-UK.
P3E is considered vital to the amateur radio space community for
a variety of reasons. Currently there is no high orbit satellite
carrying analogue transponders allowing DX multiple simultaneous
contacts. There are amateur radio satellites in low earth orbit
but these, because of their low orbit, only support relatively
short range contacts and are only visible for short periods of
time (e.g. 10 - 15 minutes). The proposed orbit of P3E will cause
it to be visible from amateur radio stations on earth for several
hours at a time, allowing increased periods of operation and
experimentation.
P3E is considered a 'low risk' approach based on many of the design
parameters of the hugely successful OSCAR 13. In order to keep costs
low, it is based on a flight spare chassis left over from the OSCAR 13
development programme. There will, however, be several new innovations.
For example, the Mode U/V transponder, with a planned 80 KHz bandwidth,
will be based on DSP technology using software developed in the UK and
SDR HELAPS jointly developed with AMSAT-NA. The IHU-3 will be a new
development based on a unit successfully tested on OSCAR-40. There
will be several other experiments which will test techniques needed
for the proposed flight of an amateur radio spacecraft to Mars
(Phase 5A), for example, a low power beacon simulating the weak signals
that it will send from the Phase 5A satellite (P5A) on its journey to
Mars. This will allow radio amateurs to test their stations in readi-
ness for P5A.
The optimal years for launching a Mars bound spacecraft are 2009 or 2011
so it is important that P3E is launched as soon as possible. This is
currently planned to be at the end of 2008. It is realised that the next
important step is to obtain an agreement with a suitable launch agency to
undertake to fly the satellite.

(not up and running currently)
To switch the transmitter on, you need to send a CTCSS tone of 74.4 Hz.
The order of operation is thus: (allow for Doppler as necessary)
1) Transmit on 145.850 MHz with a tone of 74.4 Hz to arm the 10 minute
timer
on board the spacecraft.
2) Now transmit on 145.850 MHz (FM Voice) using 67.0 Hz to PT the
repeater on
and off within the 10 Minute window.
3) Sending the 74.4 tone again within the 10 minute window will reset
the 10
minute timer.

conference room servers; seventeen connections were made from 6 countries.
2.Winnebago Reservation School Contact Successful
On Thursday, January 25, students at the Winnebago Public School spoke with
Sunita Williams, KD5PLB, via Amateur Radio on the International Space
Station
(ARISS). Nineteen students were each able to ask one question. An
audience of
approximately 500 students, teachers and parents listened over the PA
system.
Television station Channel 9, from Sioux City, IA and the Sioux City
Journal
covered the event, interviewing at least 9 students. The school posted
information about the ARISS activities on its website.
See http://winnebago.esu1.org.
For the Sioux City Journal article,

coming
from economically disadvantaged families.
3. ARISS New York Contact to be Rescheduled
The Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) contact
with East
Aurora Middle School in New York, originally slated for Thursday,
February 1,
has been cancelled due to scheduling issues. The event will be
rescheduled in
the near future.
4.ARRL Article Covers ISS Crew
The American Radio Relay League (ARRL) ran an article on ISS Hams and
upcoming
spacewalks.
See: http://www.arrl.org/?artid=7145
5.Boulder Hill Elementary Prepares for ARISS Contact
Boulder Hill Elementary School in Montgomery, Illinois has been
preparing for
an Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) contact. The
school has a radio club made up of 30 members from the fourth and fifth
grades; two-thirds of the members are girls. The Fathers Club and PTA are
preparing for the contact, making a stage curtain, and trying to obtain
space
food and astronaut costumes for the teachers. They also plan to invite an
astronaut to visit the school. Display cases have been set up
publicizing the
event, providing information on the International Space Station, space,
solar
energy, (complete with solar panels), and satellite models and rockets. A
documentary is in the works, which will cover all activities related to the
contact. An Illinois state representative and state senator have been
invited
to attend the event, tentatively planned for the spring.
6. ARRL Article on Students SuitSat-2 Work
The American Radio Relay League (ARRL) ran a web story on the college
students
who are participating in the SuitSat-2 software defined radio hardware
testing
and development.
See: http://www.arrl.org/news/stories/2007/01/24/101/?nc=1

+ On February 3, 2007 Craig, KL4E conducted a live amateur radio
communications exhibition for the PQ-13 pilots and support per-
sonnel of the 491st Aviation Regiment, ASDF, at Camp Carroll
on Fort Richardson, Alaska. For the satellite portion of the
demonstration, Craig operated on AO-51 and SO-50.
+ Taking advantage of good operating conditions aboard the recently
recovered AO-27 satellite its controllers have shifted the bird's
schedule to begin 7 minutes earlier than usual and have extended
the transmitter's on-time to 8 minutes. This will allow operators
to contact the satellite DXpeditions currently active aboard cruise
ships in the Carribean. See http://www.ao27.org.
+ Here's a chance to do some space browsing in the shack while
waiting for the next satellite pass. http://sky-map.org/ features
an interactive sky map with point-and-click accessibility. You
can simply point your mouse at any sky object and a small pop-up
appears displaying the name and a brief description of that object.
By clicking on the object you instantly have access to detailed
information about this star.
+ Sources at SpaceDaily.com reported this week the International
Space Station will likely remain operational until 2025 according
to the head of the Russian spacecraft manufacturer Energia. Nikolai
Sevastyanov said Tuesday, "By 2009-2015, Russia will be the only
country able to deliver crews to the station. No one is going to
sink or drop the ISS, as all countries realize that the station is
becoming a full-scale industrial facility in space. Although it is
scheduled for decommissioning in 2015, its operational life could
be prolonged until 2025. Energia has proposed making the station
permanent. If we terminate its existence, it would be hard for man-
kind to implement such a project anew."

(not up and running currently)
To switch the transmitter on, you need to send a CTCSS tone of 74.4 Hz.
The order of operation is thus: (allow for Doppler as necessary)
1) Transmit on 145.850 MHz with a tone of 74.4 Hz to arm the 10 minute
timer
on board the spacecraft.
2) Now transmit on 145.850 MHz (FM Voice) using 67.0 Hz to PT the
repeater on
and off within the 10 Minute window.
3) Sending the 74.4 tone again within the 10 minute window will reset
the 10
minute timer.
