May 20, 2012 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-141.01 --------------------------------------------------------------------- AMSAT Satellite Education Focus at Dayton This weekend marked the annual Dayton Hamvention. AMSAT was present and active inside at the booth in the Ball Arena of the Hara Center and outside at the Satellite Demonstration area. AMSAT Vice President for Educational Relations Mark Hammond, N8MH said, "This year, we had a focus on trying to get youth and first time operators ON THE AIR!" The Satellite Demonstration area gave students, educators, and first time hams the opportunity to come to the microphone and make a satel- lite contact. Between passes equipment and experienced operators were available for discussions and answers to questions. Differences in operating techniques between FM and linear satellites were demonstra- ted. Also differing levels of equipment ranging between very simple and portable stations to a full station with computer control were operating. Dayton also gave AMSAT and ARRL the opportunity to recruit new ARISS (Amateur Radio on the International Space Station) Technical Mentors and Ground Station Operators. Mark, N8MH took advantage of the ARRL Stage on Friday and Saturday to explain the roles of ARISS Technical Mentors who serve as an advising and coordinating liaison between NASA, the school or group making the ARISS contact, and the Ground Station Operators, who set up the satellite station at the contact location. The AMSAT Forum at Dayton, moderated by Alan Biddle, WA4SCA also in- cluded Mark's presentation on the current and future education work. He described specific needs, especially in area of writing K-12 lesson plans (in science and math) using amateur satellite telemetry. Educa- tors who are satellite operators should contact him directly at n8mh(a)amsat.org and are encouraged to join the AMSAT-EDU mailing list to learn how they can help with our educational outreach. (See: http://www.amsat.org/mailman/listinfo to join AMSAT-EDU.) AMSAT's university level mentorship of CubeSat development projects was presented by Alex Harvilchuck, N3NP as he discussed CubeSats at Pennsylvania State University-Erie. Also, at the AMSAT Forum, AMSAT Engineering VP, Tony Monteiro, AA2TX discussed Project Fox - AMSAT's First CubeSat which was accepted for launch by Project ELaNa, NASA's "Educational Launch of NanoSat". Fox-1 was selected to join the NASA ELaNa program on merit in support of NASA strategic and educational goals. The "Running With Fox" theme at the AMSAT booth featured a model of the Fox-1 cubesat.

Each year the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) sponsors Field Day as an emergency preparedness exercise. The event takes place during a 24-hour period on the fourth weekend of June. For 2012 the event takes place during a 27-hour period between 1800 UTC on Saturday, June 23, 2012 and 2100 UTC on Sunday June 24, 2012. Those who set up prior to 1800 UTC on June 23 can operate only 24 hours. The Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT) promotes its own ver- sion of Field Day for operation via the amateur satellites, held con- currently with the ARRL event. With the loss of AO-51 and SO-6ay this y ear is going to be most challenging. If you are considering ONLY the FM voice satellites like AMRAD-OSCAR-27 or SaudiSat-Oscar-50 for your primary AMSAT Field Day focus: Don't, unless you are simply hoping to make one contact for the ARRL rules bonus points. The congestion on FM LEO satellites was so intense in prior years that we must continue to limit their use to one-QSO-per-FM-satellite. This includes the International Space Station. You will be allowed one QSO if the ISS is operating Voice. You will also be allowed one digital QSO with the ISS or any other digital, non-store-and-forward, packet satellite (if operational). If you have worked the satellites on Field Day in recent years, you may have noticed a lot of good contacts can be made on some of the less-populated, low-earth-orbit satellites like VUSat OSCAR-52,Fuji- OSCAR 29 (may or may not be operational), AMSAT-OSCAR 7. During Field Day the transponders come alive like 20 meters on a weekend. The good news is that the transponders on these satellites will support multi- ple simultaneous contacts. The bad news is that you can't use FM, just low duty cycle modes like SSB and CW. The AMSAT Field Day 2012 event is open to all Amateur Radio operators. Amateurs are to use the exchange as specified in ARRL rules for Field Day. The AMSAT competition is to encourage the use of all amateur sat- ellites, both analog and digital. For the complete listing of the AMSAT Field Day Rules please refer to the documents posted on-line at: http://www.amsatnet.com/fd2012.doc http://www.amsatnet.com/fd2012.pdf Links are also accessible from http://www.amsat.org front page.

The HORYU-2 Cubesat includes several experiments: + 300 volt power generation in LEO + COTS technology demonstration of surface potential measurement + Orbital debris observation + Earth photography The satellite callsign is JG6YBW and radio amateurs are asked to listen for the 437.375 MHz telemetry downlink. The CW data is com- posed of an 11 character callsign "JG6YBW HORYU" followed by 15 characters of telemetry data. Details of the telemetry format are available via a link on the AMSAT-UK web, see: http://www.uk.amsat.org/7404 More information is available on the web: Horyu website in Google English: http://tinyurl.com/HoryuSatellite http://www.uk.amsat.org/6638 http://www.uk.amsat.org/4279 http://www.uk.amsat.org/7404 http://www.uk.amsat.org/7540 (showing Horyu-2 separation on-orbit) Initial TLE set can be found on-line at: http://kitsat.ele.kyutech.ac.jp/Documents/ground_station/TLE.txt The 437.375 MHz telemetry downlink also transmits 1200 bps AX.25 packet radio. There is a monthly competition for those who send data received from the telemetry to the KIT server, via the HORYU-2 telemetry analysis software which can be downloaded from: http://kitsat.ele.kyutech.ac.jp/Documents/information_launch_english.html Day 1 Initial Reception Reports ------------------------------- The CW signal from HORYU-2 was copied in South America by LW2DTZ on 437.375 MHz on May 17 on a 10 degree elevation pass using 7 element yagi antenna. A strong downlink CW beacon signal was heard in Sudan by ST2NH. GW1FKY reported a strong signal was heard in Wales, UK. JE9PEL captured downlink telemetry from Japan.

The three ham crew consists of NASA Flight Engineer Joseph Acaba, KE5DAR, and two Russian crewmates, Soy- uz Commander Gennady Padalka, RN3DT, and Flight Engineer Sergei Revin, RN3BS. Their arrival brings the crew roster up to six as they join Expedi- tion 31 Commander Oleg Kononenko, RN3DX, of the Russian Federal Space Agency, Flight Engineer Don Pettit, KD5MDT, of NASA and Flight Engin- eer Andrei Kuipers, PI9ISS, of the European Space Agency, who have been aboard the ISS since December 2011. NASA reported on the events after arrival of the crew in their ISS On-Orbit Status report posted at: http://tinyurl.com/ISS-On-Orbit The NASA ISS daily status report for May 18 notes that Joe, KE5DAR also powered on the ham radio station in the Russian Service Module. A NASA video report of the ISS crew activities can be viewed at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=bA9PXqX_L4Y The new crew members will begin preparations for the arrival of an unmanned Dragon cargo ship built by SpaceX. Originally scheduled for launch on May 19, a faulty check valve on an engine caused an abort. SpaceX is replacing the failed valve. The next launch attempt is at present planned for Tuesday, May 22 at 3:44 AM EDT (UTC-4). Dragon will deliver about 1150 pounds of food, clothing and other low-priority items. The capsule then will be repacked with around 1455 pounds of trash and no-longer-needed components and detached from the space station on May 31. SpaceX plans to guide the craft back to Earth for a parachute descent to a Pacific Ocean splashdown to complete the test flight. If the test flight goes well, SpaceX hopes to begin routine cargo delivery missions in August, 2012. The Dragon capsule will also deliver 15 student experiments from the Student Spaceflight Experiments Program (SSEP). See: http://www.space-travel.com/reports/Space_Station_Here_We_Come_999.html Soon after Dragon a Russian Progress vehicle will arrive. In July a Japanese HTV cargo ship will arrive. The crew will also be managing over 215 scientific investigations affecting over 400 scientists on the ground.

Time says: What makes ExoplanetSat even more un-NASA-like is that it began as a class project - although admittedly, the class was at MIT. It was a design-and-build course, which the university's engineering students have to take in order to graduate. In a recent semester, the class was co-taught by Sara Seager [KB1WTW] an astrophysicist who has done groundbreaking research studying how the atmospheres of planets orbiting dis- tant stars might look like from earthly telescopes. Seager re- cruited five science undergrads to join her engineers, on the theory that out in the real world, they'd eventually have to work with engineers anyway. The group is developing a prototype ExoplanetSat capable of mon- itoring a single, bright, sun-like star for two years. Planned to launch late 2012 or 2013 it is hoped it will open the gates for ExoplanetSat interest and funding. Once the funding doors are opened, then the fleet of ExoplanetSats can be launched. The fleet may contain as many as a hundred of these small satellites, each focused on its own star. In a 2011 visit to Cambridge, UK, Sara said "The reason why we're excited is because we think that this is a really huge thing. Hun- dreds and thousands of years from now, people will look back and ask, what are the significant accomplishments of our society in the early twenty-first century? One of them will be that we were the first to discover other worlds and other worlds that might be like Earth. When you think back four hundred years, what do you remember? You think about Christopher Columbus and Lewis and Clark. It's the exploration-finding things that were new to our culture. And that's why we're excited."

The hours are 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM EDT. Our phone number is 301-589-6062. Martha is looking forward to hearing from you! + Clint Bradford, K6LCS and Rich Arland K7SZ collaborated on an article, "Learning Curve - Working the Birds" which was just pub- lished in the May, 2012 Dayton Special issue of CQ magazine. + The future plans of the QB50 network of 50 CubeSats in a 'string- of-pearls' configuration that will be launched together in the first half of 2015 by a single rocket has caught the attention of the press. The UK Daily Mail published an article how the network of 50 satellites aims to find out what happens INSIDE the northern lights and hopefully 'forecast' solar weather. See: http://tinyurl.com/UKMail-QB50 + A Video showing a time lapse view of Earth's Northern Hemisphere from Russia's Electro-L Weather Satellite is posted at: http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewsr.html?pid=40807 + Two videos, one of the Aalto-1, about Finland's first satellite project, showing their new groundstation and an animation of the mission is posted on the AMSAT-UK web at: http://www.uk.amsat.org/7371 + Though likely no operation on amateur radio satellites at this time, the re-planned TX5, Clipperton Island DXpedition has a plan to utilize satellites. The Cordell Expeditions is pleased to announce a DXpedition to Clipperton Island in early 2013. The team of 24 will sail from San Diego on February 19, 2013, and will be active from Clipperton for 10 days starting around March 1. They will be active on all bands and all modes, and will use DXA, the satellite-linked system that displays near-real-time log data on any Web browser. They state, "We invite your participation in this project, as a team member, supporter, or callsign in our log!" Clipperton Island Web page: http://www.cordell.org/CI/index.html Details of DXA satellite program: http://www.cordell.org/DXA/ The DXA program is also planned to be used on a Cordell Expeditions trip to VK0H, Heard Island in early 2014. (via Ohio/Penn DX Bulletin #1062, and #1062.2) + 51 years ago on May 5, 1961, NASA launched the Mercury-Redstone 3 rocket carrying Alan B. Shepard, Jr. aboard the Freedom 7 capsule. Shepard successfully became America's first man in space, making a brief but historic suborbital test flight that propelled Ameri- can astronauts into the space race of the 1960s. NASA has compiled a video from from photographs taken by a film camera mounted to the Freedom 7 spacecraft. Compare the view in 1961 with the latest generation of space video we routinely receive from the ISS. Watch at: http://www.universetoday.com/95016/the-view-from-freedom-7/ + Tom Doyle, W9KE posted a video demonstrating a feature he hoped to turn into a SatPC32 Add-On. It provides a "Look Down" perspective as if you were a passenger aboard the satellite. The video is HD and looks best viewed full screen in 720p. Watch it at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1K1sIw_F8Y + Check out the view of the Big Dipper from 290 million km away taken by NASA's Juno spacecraft en route to Jupiter: http://tinyurl.com/Juno-Big-Dipper (UniverseToday.com) [ANS thanks everyone for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- /EX In addition to regular membership, AMSAT offers membership in the President's Club.

AMSAT/TAPR Friday Night Banquet ------------------------------- AMSAT/TAPR Banquet on Friday night, May 18 is one of the main AMSAT activities during the 2012 Hamvention at Dayton. AMSAT is pleased to announce that Howard Long, G6LVB will be the fea- tured speaker for the evening event. Howard will be talking about his FUNcube Dongle, the 64 - 1700 MHz Software Defined Receiver. This innovative USB device is the size of a thumbdrive and has an SMA ant- enna socket. Multiple SDR control and display software programs can be used with the FUNcube Dongle. Banquet tickets will not be sold at the AMSAT booth during the Ham- vention so reservations must be made through the AMSAT Store: http://www.amsat-na.com/store/item.php?id=100158 Tickets are $30 apiece. ARISS Mentor Introduction at Dayton 2012 ---------------------------------------- AMSAT and ARRL are teaming up during the 2012 Hamvention to recruit new ARISS (Amateur Radio on the International Space Station) Techni- cal Mentors and Ground Station Operators. Friday and Saturday (May 18 & 19) at 4pm in the ARRL stage area AMSAT Vice President for Educational Relations Mark Hammond N8MH will explain the need for additional ARISS Technical Mentors and Ground Station Operators and the requirements and responsibilities needed to help provide a reliable conversation between astronauts and selected schools or groups. Technical Mentors serve as an advising and coordinating liaison be- tween NASA, the school or group making the ARISS contact, and the Ground Station Operators, who set up the satellite station at the contact location. We encourage anyone interested in helping make future school contacts with the ISS successful to please attend. AMSAT to Facilitate Student Satellite Contacts ---------------------------------------------- AMSAT is encouraging all students attending the 2012 Dayton Hamvention to come by the Satellite Demonstration Area just outside of the Ball Area entrance and make a contact using the amateur satellites. There will be AMSAT volunteers there to explain how to make the contacts and during actual satellite passes will try to get as many students as pos- sible to complete actual contacts. There are lists of satellite pass times in the satellite demonstration area and at the AMSAT booth. [ANS thanks Gould Smith, WA4SXM for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- TAPR Forum at Dayton Hamvention TAPR will be found in booths 455-459 in the Ball Arena of the Hara Arena at the Dayton Hamvention. They will be near AMSAT who will be found in booths 444-449 in the Ball Arena. TAPR will feature several SDR projects which are gaining interest quickly in the amateur radio community. Details of TAPR projects and the group's plans for Dayton can be found in the PSR Digital Journal. The Spring 2012 edition is now available for download from: http://www.tapr.org/psr/psr118.pdf The TAPR Forum gets underway in Room 1 of the Hara Arena at 9:15AM on Friday and runs until 11:15 AM. The TAPR Forum speakers include: + Introduction and TAPR Update by Steve Bible, N7HPR + Beyond openHPSDR: Hermes and the Future by Scotty Cowling, WA2DFI. Hermes is the latest addition to the openHPSDR stable of boards. + Embedded DSP for PCless SDR" by Lyle Johnson, KK7P. Self contained radios have been standard since the mid-1920s. Why should SDRs be different? For many applications especially portable operation not having to lug a PC around, or try and read its screen in bright am- bient light, or depend on a laptop's battery charge level can be decided benefits. Advances in DSP technology allow self contained, highly portable SDRs that provide many hours of operation on small, internal battery packs. + Time and Frequency Update by John Ackermann, N8UR. After some down time, the TAPR T&F project list is moving forward. This presentation will discuss the new TADD2 Mini frequency divider that is now shipping, and will give a glimpse of new products in the pipeline. + CODEC 2 by David Rowe, VK5DGR. Codec2 is an open source low bit rate speech codec designed for communications quality speech at 2400bit/s and below. Applications include low bandwidth HF/VHF digital radio and VOIP trunking. Codec 2operating at 2000 bit/s can send 32 phone calls using the bandwidth required for one 64 kbit/s uncompressed phone call. It fills a gap in open source, free as in speech voice codecs beneath 5000 bit/s and is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL).

The team carried the little satellite to top of Tam Dao mountain in Vietnam (about 1300m high). A communication link of 50km with the ground station at the FPT building in Hanoi was established. Despite of heavy fog and high humidity (which was very bad for radio communication) the ground station successfully sent uplink commands to F-1 and the satellite responded correctly, reporting its status and taking some photos. F-1 is one of five CubeSat teams preparing for a launch to the Inter- national Space Station in the July 18-21, 2012 time frame. These Cube- Sats will be launched from Tanegashima, Japan aboard the JAXA HTV-3 ISS resupply mission. The CubeSats will be loaded into the J-SSOD deployer on the Japanese Experiment Module, also known as Kibo. They will be deployed with the Kibo robotic arm planned for September, 2012 timeframe.

This four-day professional development workshop is spon- sored by the Dayton Amateur Radio Association and is held in their location in Dayton, Ohio (July 9-12). The TI-2 Space curriculum focuses on the nuts and bolts of setting up and operating a satellite ground station. This serves as excellent preparation for a scheduled contact with the ISS through the Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) program. But it also provides instruction for continued use of satellites and other man made space assets to explore naturally generated signals, space and a variety of topics. Thanks to generous assistance from Yaesu USA and Ham Radio Outlet, participants will receive a full ground station that is configured for satellite communications, as well as training on how to set it up and use it to make Amateur Radio contacts and download telemetry data. To be considered for a seat in TI-2 Space, participants must possess at least a Technician class license at the time off application. ARRL membership is required. Priority for attending the TI-2 Space session will be given to teachers who have developed an educational proposal accepted for participation in the ARISS Program. This session has a class limit of 8 participants, so apply early! The deadline for the TI-2 Space in the Classroom sessions of the Teachers Institute is May 15. This deadline is this week ... hurry! Full details are posted on the ARRL web at: http://www.arrl.org/ti-2-space-in-the-classroom [ANS thanks the ARRL for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- NASA TV to Broadcast Three Hams Launch From Baikonur The next mission to the International Space Station will have three crew members who are licensed amateur radio operators.

This four-day professional development workshop is spon- sored by the Dayton Amateur Radio Association and is held in their location in Dayton, Ohio (July 9-12). The TI-2 Space curriculum focuses on the nuts and bolts of setting up and operating a satellite ground station. This serves as excellent preparation for a scheduled contact with the ISS through the Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) program. But it also provides instruction for continued use of satellites and other man made space assets to explore naturally generated signals, space and a variety of topics. Thanks to generous assistance from Yaesu USA and Ham Radio Outlet, participants will receive a full ground station that is configured for satellite communications, as well as training on how to set it up and use it to make Amateur Radio contacts and download telemetry data. To be considered for a seat in TI-2 Space, participants must possess at least a Technician class license at the time off application. ARRL membership is required. Priority for attending the TI-2 Space session will be given to teachers who have developed an educational proposal accepted for participation in the ARISS Program. This session has a class limit of 8 participants, so apply early! The deadline for the TI-2 Space in the Classroom sessions of the Teachers Institute is May 15. Full details are posted on the ARRL web at: http://www.arrl.org/ti-2-space-in-the-classroom [ANS thanks the ARRL for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Five CubeSats in Preparation for July Launch to ISS Five CubeSat teams continue work on preparations for a launch to the International Space Station in the July 18-21, 2012 time frame. These CubeSats will be launched from Tanegashima, Japan aboard the JAXA HTV-3 ISS resupply mission. The CubeSats will be loaded into the J-SSOD deployer on the Japanese Experiment Module, also known as Kibo. They will be deployed with the Kibo robotic arm planned for September, 2012 timeframe. The five CubeSats include: + Raiko + We Wish + FITSat 1 + F-1 Vietnam Student CubeSat + TechEdSat RAIKO - Wakayama University, Japan ---------------------------------- http://www.astro.mech.tohoku.ac.jp/RAIKO/ (Japanese) This 2U CubeSat includes experiments for: + Earth photography with a fish-eye lens camera + Photo tracking during deployment from ISS to measure relative motion. + Experimental star sensor + Membrane deployment experiment for de-orbit + High speed data communication experiment by Ku-band communication equipment: o Orbit determination experiment by Doppler frequency measurement of Ku-band beacon. o Mobile ground station and global cooperation for reception FITSAT-1 - Fukuoka Institute of Technology, Japan ------------------------------------------------- http://www.fit.ac.jp/~tanaka/fitsat.shtml The main mission of this 1U CubeSat will be a demonstration of high speed data transfer from a satellite. A second experiment aboard the satellite involves an attempt at visual tracking from the ground of the high-output LED flash to investigate the possibility of optical communication with satellites. The light from this flash will be re- ceived by the ground station equipped with a telescope with photo- multiplier linked to a parabolic antenna tracking the 5.8GHz downlink. Frequencies announced for FITSAT-1: CW Beacon 437.250 MHz, FM Data 437.445 MHz, High speed data 5840.00 MHz.

The team has the additional goal of contributing to local technical education through the use of CubeSat ground data acquisition. F-1 Vietnam Student CubeSat --------------------------- Vietnamese students in Hanoi plan to orbit the country's first sat- ellite, their amateur radio CubeSat F-1 with the callsign XV1VN. The satellite will carry a low resolution C328 camera and two Yaesu VX-3R transceivers using 145.980 and 437.485 MHz. + VX-3R1, 437.485 MHz FM downlink: o Solar cell power only, operates in sunlight only o Output power: max 0.3W, half-wave dipole antenna o Morse code beacon (10 chars) using PWM CW every 30 seconds + VX-3R2, 145.980 MHz FM downlink: o Rechargeable battery, operates in dark and sunlight o Output power: max 1.0W, half-wave dipole antenna o AFSK 1200bps, half duplex, one AX.25 packet every 30 seconds If the The F-1 web page at: http://fspace.edu.vn is not available the latest news and photos have been posted on the AMSAT-UK web: http://www.uk.amsat.org/5025 TechEdSat - San Jose State University ------------------------------------- http://ncasst.org/techedsat.html http://www.uk.amsat.org/5018 TechEdSat is a 1U CubeSat built by San Jose State University in part- nership with NASA Ames Research Center and AAC Microtec. It's mission is to evaluate Space Plug-and-play Avionics (SPA) designed in Sweden by AAC Microtec, and to perform a communications experiment utilizing the Iridium and Orbcomm satellite phone network. Student hands-on learning opportunities were presented during the International Space Apps Challenge on April 21-22. For this challenge, space hackers implemented a fault-tolerant command and control system, utilizing both the OrbComm and Iridium modems as uplink and downlink. Ground segment of the software includes the ability for a laptop, Apple or Android phone to issue commands to the spacecraft over Iridium/Orb- comm. The students will also be challenged with designing the capa- bility for relaying data received from the spacecraft automatically to Twitter. TechEdSat has received IARU frequency coordination for its downlink on 437.465 MHz.

This is an auxiliary payload platform to allow multiple CubeSats to be launched aboard rockets as secondary payload meaning the rocket would be able to carry satellites in onboard space that would otherwise be unused. NPSCuL can accommodate up to 24 CubeSats in a single ESPA-class [Sec- ondary Payload Adapter] payload volume. Upon reaching the desired orbit spring-loaded doors will release the satellites one-by-one. First flight is planned for August 2012 which will carry 11 CubeSats for the Operationally Unique Technologies Satellite (OUTSat). This will enable NPS researchers to get one of their own CubeSats into space. The NPS STARE CubeSat is part of a collaborative effort be- tween NPS and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) on a proof-of-concept mission to observe other satellites and help deter mine threats posed by space debris. The NPS has published a press release available on-line at: http://tinyurl.com/CubeSat-NPSCuL (www.nps.edu).

Cotopaxi, an international Ameri- can school with students in grades pre-K to 12, has a strong relation- ship with Ecuador's astronaut, Ronnie Nader, and the Ecuadorian Civ- ilian Space Agency (EXA). It utilized several NASA resources in its curriculum covering space, technology and radio. Approximately 500 students and visitors were present for the event. Saitama Scout Council Japan --------------------------- Scouts from the Troop 2nd & 3rd Iruma Group, Saitama Scout Council, Scout Association of Japan participated in an ARISS contact on Satur- day, April 14. An audience of 70 people, including one magazine rep- resentative, turned out for the contact and listened as the Scouts had their questions about living on the ISS answered by on-orbit astronaut Dan Burbank, KC5ZSX. The Scouts have their own radio club, JQ1YWJ and many of the Scouts have been attending amateur radio classes to become licensed. Flabob Airport Preparatory Academy California --------------------------------------------- The Flabob Airport Preparatory Academy in Riverside, California had a successful ARISS contact on Thursday, April 19. The telebridge sta tion IK1SLD in Italy provided the radio connection with the ISS. The ARISS contact complemented a comprehensive education plan to pique students' interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM). After the event, ARISS mentor Clint Bradford, K6LCS declared, "SUCCESS at Flabob Airport this morning! Flight engineer Pettit answered all seventeen of our questions - from fifteen students." There were 211 in the audience, including 120 Flabob students, media, city council members, Gordon West and Don Arnold, and other dignitaries, AND a lot of parents, too! Media coverage of the Flabob ARISS contact included California's sixth largest daily newspaper, The Press-Enterprise, sent a reporter, video- grapher, and photographer, the Bob Heil & Gordon West mediacast, Ham Nation, sent a videographer - and the contact will be on an episode of their webcast in the next couple of weeks. Newspaper coverage in- cluded the editor and publisher of The Riverside County Record. Clint was interviewed on PBS radio affiliate KVCR. The Inland Empire Tele- vision Network videotaped the entire event. The Press-Enterprise is the region's major newspaper. Links to their video, article, and photographs are posted on ISS-Flabob site blog at: http://www.iss-flabob.com/ISS-Flabob/Blog/Blog.html Clint invites you to check out http://www.iss-flabob.com since this site created for the ARISS event also offers links and publications on amateur radio, our space programs, ARISS, AMSAT, ARRL, ham radio licensing - and MORE - on the MORE INFO page.

Each year the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) sponsors Field Day as an emergency preparedness exercise. The event takes place during a 24-hour period on the fourth weekend of June. For 2012 the event takes place during a 27-hour period between 1800 UTC on Saturday, June 23, 2012 and 2100 UTC on Sunday June 24, 2012. Those who set up prior to 1800 UTC on June 23 can operate only 24 hours. The Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT) promotes its own ver- sion of Field Day for operation via the amateur satellites, held con- currently with the ARRL event. With the loss of AO-51 and SO-67 field day this year is going to be most challenging. If you are considering ONLY the FM voice satellites like AMRAD-OSCAR-27 or SaudiSat-Oscar-50 for your primary AMSAT Field Day focus: Don't, unless you are simply hoping to make one contact for the ARRL rules bonus points. The congestion on FM LEO satellites was so intense in prior years that we must continue to limit their use to one-QSO-per-FM-satellite. This includes the International Space Station. You will be allowed one QSO if the ISS is operating Voice. You will also be allowed one digital QSO with the ISS or any other digital, non-store-and-forward, packet satellite (if operational). If you have worked the satellites on Field Day in recent years, you may have noticed a lot of good contacts can be made on some of the less-populated, low-earth-orbit satellites like VUSat OSCAR-52,Fuji- OSCAR 29 (may or may not be operational), AMSAT-OSCAR 7. During Field Day the transponders come alive like 20 meters on a weekend. The good news is that the transponders on these satellites will support multi- ple simultaneous contacts. The bad news is that you can't use FM, just low duty cycle modes like SSB and CW. The AMSAT Field Day 2012 event is open to all Amateur Radio operators. Amateurs are to use the exchange as specified in ARRL rules for Field Day. The AMSAT competition is to encourage the use of all amateur sat- ellites, both analog and digital. For the complete listing of the AMSAT Field Day Rules please refer to the documents posted on-line at: http://www.amsatnet.com/fd2012.doc http://www.amsatnet.com/fd2012.pdf Links are also accessible from http://www.amsat.org front page.

The Amateur Service allocation in this band is on a secondary basis, with aeronautical radionavigation and several other services primary in the United States Table of Frequency Allocations. The FCC rules require that amateur stations operating in the 23 cm band may not cause harmful interference to stations in the radionavigation-satel- lite service, the aeronautical radionavigation service, the Earth exploration-satellite service or the space research service. One case of harmful interference in Southern California has been re- ported. CARSRs are being installed in several dozen locations through- out the country and will use various frequencies in the 1240-1350 MHz range with an occupied bandwidth of about 3 MHz. In the vicinity of the radars, amateur operation may be precluded in a portion of the 23 cm band. The ARRL is in contact with FAA engineers. The ARRL said they anticipate that the constraints on amateur use of the band will be limited to those necessary to protect aviation safety, which of course cannot be compromised. The bulletin is posted on the ARRL web at: http://www.arrl.org/news/amateurs-must-protect-new-radars-in-23-cm-band [ANS thanks the ARRL for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- AMSAT-UK on Satellites for World Amateur Radio Day Members of AMSAT-UK operated on the amateur radio satellites from the RSGB National Radio Centre at Bletchley Park to celebrate World Amateur Radio Day (WARD) on Wednesday, April 18, 2012. World Amateur Radio Day commemorates the founding of the Internation- al Amateur Radio Union (IARU) on April 18, 1925. This year's theme was "Amateur Radio Satellites: Celebrating 50 Years in Space" in re- membrance of the launching of OSCAR 1 on December 12, 1961 and the launch of OSCAR 2 on June 2, 1962. Those taking part in the event were Jim G3WGM, Dave G4DPZ, Trevor M5AKA, Ciaran M0XTD, Matthew SWL, Clive G3CWV, Carlos G0AKI and Elaine G4LFM. The satellites worked during the day included FO-29 and AO-7 and contacts were made with stations across Europe using the 144 and 430 MHz bands. The equipment used comprised a Kenwood TS-2000 with WiMo X quads for 144 and 430 MHz, with pre amps and polarisation switches. Read the rest of this article, along with links to photos and video on-line on the AMSAT-UK web: http://www.uk.amsat.org/6516 [ANS thanks AMSAT-UK for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- UK Will Restrict Use of Amateur Satellite Frequencies During Olympics Trevor, M5AKA has filed the following notice on the AMSAT-UK web. The Olympic and Paralympic Games will be using almost half of the 430 MHz amateur radio allocation as well as segments of 2.3 GHz and 3.4 GHz during the period June 28 to September 23. The impact on the Amateur-satellite Service 435-438 MHz allocation has been restricted to 436.25-437.25 MHz. It is understood that the equipment being used in the 430 MHz band will include handheld FM rigs at the hotels, the routes to the venues and the venues them- selves. The UK communications regulator Ofcom has provided details of the areas that need to be protected from RF within the designated fre- quency ranges. Follow the link to the AMSAT-UK web provided below for the details of the region affected by the restrictions. Ofcom say the use of radio by Amateurs in the designated areas could cause interference to Games applications; it is also possible that higher power transmissions from outside these areas could cause in- terference. Consequently, to avoid the risk of interference to Games applications, Ofcom request that Amateurs do not operate within the frequency ranges identified in the areas defined in Annexes A and B, and that Amateurs ensure that any signals that could be received in these areas are negligible. This indicates that the specified fre- quency ranges should be avoided for a considerable distance outside the designated zones. Clearly a well equipped station on a good site 75 km from the edge of a zone could still put a signal into that area.

Greg had a a heart attack on April 18 and did not survive it. He just turned 48 in February. He is survived by his 18 year old son Rick Tillman, WA4NVM noted, "Greg was one of the truly nice guys, always polite and there to help. It's been our great pleasure and privilege to know and work with him in the Memphis ham community. He will truly be missed. God bless your soul faithful servant," John Papay, K8YSE recalled, "Greg was one of the most courteous operators that I've known. He was active on the birds and enjoyed working new grids. Greg was a gentlemen. We will miss hearing his voice on the birds."
