Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) Status Report January 5, 2009 1. Upcoming School Contacts Axam Jatiya Vidyalaya in Guwahati, India has been scheduled for an Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) contact on Wednesday, January 7 at 08:01 UTC via telebridge station W6SRJ in California. Approximately 1300 students are enrolled at the school. All students are taught in Assamese with English taught as a compulsory second language. Tongfu Road No. 1 Primary School in Guangzhou, Guangdong, P.R. China has been scheduled for an Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) contact on Saturday, January 17 at 10:23 UTC. The school is over 70 years old with an enrollment of over 1000 students. An amateur radio club was established at the school in 2007 and during the same year a team from this school won the national youngster's amateur radio contest. Elective courses on amateur radio, space technology and ARISS are offered to the students. All grades have participated in essay and cartoon contests to prepare for the contact. Students have written letters to the astronauts and determined the questions to ask. Media coverage is planned with newspapers, television and the internet. 2. Technopolis Contact Successful On Saturday, January 3, students visiting Technopolis in Mechelen, Belgium experienced an Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) contact via telebridge station VK4KHZ in Australia. The students asked Mike Fincke, KE5AIT, 16 questions with time left over to exchange Season's Greetings. Approximately 100 students, parents and ham radio operators attended the event. Three television stations and two newspapers reported on the contact. The audio was fed into the EchoLink AMSAT and JK1ZRW servers and received 29 connections from ten different countries including the Ukraine and Romania. More information on the contact may be found on the ARISS-Europe Web site. See: www.ariss-eu.org/2009_01_03.htm 3. ARISS 25th Anniversary Special Event Update To celebrate the 25th anniversary of ham radio in space, an Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) commemorative event will be held during the month of December through mid January. A special certificate is being developed for those who communicate with the ISS, either 2-way direct (with the ISS crew, the digipeater, or cross band repeater), or 1-way reception of SSTV or voice downlink. For more information and an update on this event, see: http://www.rac.ca/ariss/oindex.htm under "Latest News."

ARISS V/U over UK this morning
by andy thomas 04 Jan '09

04 Jan '09

Heard myself very clearly on v/u as the ISS came in Westbound over the sea (my favourite orbit)- but no one to talk to circa 0530utc here in UK/Europe! As footprint came over continental europe the ususal burps and hisses from an FM repeater that's overdriven, copied RR in the flow. 0703 at low elevation much the same, talking clearly to myself, missed a qso with HB9ICC at the end of the pass. XYL not impressed with my dedication...hi 73 de andy g0SFJ

Uplink Correct?
by Phil - w2lie 04 Jan '09

04 Jan '09

Wow, I just could not get into the bird tonight. This is my first attempt to hit the ISS, but I have worked other birds via the 5w HT with a whip antenna... I am running 50w on the 2m uplink 145.990 pl 67.0 and listening to the 437.800 downlink with Doppler. I'm not using any elaborate setup.. Kenwood TMV71A with just a Diamond X200NA on the roof. I would have thought I could have gotten in. I'm going to try and put EggBeaters on the roof this spring, but would think that the Diamond would have gotten me in?!? I heard the bird come in loud tonight and was able to record the audio as I tried several times to put my call up. I was unable to hear myself on the downlink at all. Its 28 degrees outside, so I wasn't playing with my HT. If anyone wants audio, I have tonight's North American pass from approx 0510z to 0520z on Jan 04, 2009 located here: http://www.w2lie.net/download.php?view.349 <http://www.w2lie.net/download.php?view.349> I'll be trying again tomorrow morning if I can get up for the 1142z pass 73 - Phil - w2lie -- www.w2lie.net Long Island Live Scanner Feeds and Forums.
