ISS Amateur Radio Update

AMSAT News Service Bulletin 015.02
From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.
January 15, 2006
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-015.02

Kenneth Ransom, N5VHO, who is the ISS Ham Radio Project Engineer
at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, provided several updates
to the recent ham band activity from the ISS.

Radio amateurs around the world have been enjoying how active
Astronaut Bill McArthur has been during these recent weeks. The
ISS has been in favorable pass times for the continental US right
after the end of the crew work day. Bill has already been heard on
a few of the passes around 1930-2200 UTC. He is often active on
Saturday and Sunday at various times from 0800-2200 UTC.

Bill has worked 49 states from orbit.  The sole state remaining is
Alaska which will be in more favorable orbits starting around Jan 20.
Current orbits for them are during the normal crew sleep time.

Bill has also worked operators on all continents including Antarctica
using VHF.  As of Jan. 9 Bill had 63 DXCC entities with the following
breakdown by continent:

5	Total worked in S. America
4	Total worked in Oceania
9	Total worked in N. America
29	Total worked in Europe
11	Total worked in Asia
1	Total worked in Antarctica
4	Total worked in Africa

Henk, PA3GUO, has a web page with photographs and an audio recording
of both ends of his contact with ISS.  See: http://www.qsl.net/pa3guo.

Mak, SV1BSX reports hearing Bill work the following prefixes:
DL, EA, F, HA, I, IS0, G, OE, OK, ON, PA, SM, SP, SV, TA, UA, YU,
HZ, and 9K.  Mak says that these Greek stations have had the
opportunity to have a contact with Bill:  SV1BSX, SV1LK, SV8CS.

During the weekend of Jan 14-15 UTC Bill McArthur plans to operate on
the UHF band exclusively. It is his desire to work all continents on
the UHF band from the International Space Station.

The frequency he will be using will be 437.55 simplex. Due to the high
Doppler effect on this band, one will need to operate split frequencies
for most of the pass. A very simplified chart showing memory assignment
for transmit and receive with 5 KHz spacing is below as an example.

Mem.     TX     -    RX
Ch A - 437.540 - 437.560  Acquisition of signal (AOS)
Ch B - 437.545 - 437.555
Ch C - 437.550 - 437.550  Time of closest approach (TCA)
Ch D - 437.555 - 437.545
Ch E  -437.560 - 437.540  Loss of signal (LOS)

Bill's contact log now exceeds 700 but that includes several repeat
stations. Please give others a chance if you are in a highly populated
footprint. As a reminder, these simple operating practices will increase
every ones chances:

1. Wait for ISS Crew to call CQ or QRZ.
2. Send only your call sign phonetically and wait for crew to acknowledge
   your specific call sign.
3. Listen closely for the call of the station ISS is talking with.
4. If you do not hear your specific call sign, do not transmit again.
   until you hear the ISS crew member say CQ or QRZ.
5. Please be courteous.

Hams in North America will also enjoy visual sighting opportunities of
the International Space Station when it will be flying over the United
States this month during evening hours when it is easy to see.  Use your
tracking program or you can find the visual sighting times for your QTH
from the Heavens Above web page:  http://www.heavens-above.com

operations:

BID: $ANS-015.03

1. Brazilian Contact Successful

On Monday, January 2, students from the STS Escola de Aviacao Civil in
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil experienced a successful contact with the ISS.
Bill McArthur, KC5ACR, answered 17 questions posed to him by seventeen
students, as an audience of 60 gathered around the radio. A Rio de Janeiro
technical magazine, Antena Eletronica Popular, covered the event. The
audio was retransmitted on HF (7080 Mhz) and Echolink. STS is a civil
aviation school which offers airplane and helicopter instruction to
students,
ages 18-25, and gives refresher courses to pilots, ages 25-45. 

2. ARISS School Contacts

Peterson Elementary School in Red Springs, North Carolina had ARISS contact
via the telebridge station, VK5ZAI in Australia on Monday, January 9, 2006.

St. Albert the Great School in North Royalton, Ohio had an ARISS contact
on Wednesday, January 11, 2006.

Itaki Elementary School Father’s Club in Higashihiroshima, Hiroshima, Japan,
is scheduled for an ARISS contact on Thursday, January 19, 2006.

The Georgia Institute of Technology, School of Aerospace Engineering in
Atlanta, Georgia (crew pick) is scheduled for an ARISS contact on Thursday,
January 19 at 15:05 UTC.

3. NASA Education Covers Upcoming SuitSat Event

SuitSat, a Russian spacesuit containing ham radio equipment with recorded
voice messages and a CD of student artwork, is scheduled to be deployed
during a Russian EVA between February 2-9, 2006.

NASA Education has posted two versions of a SuitSat article entitled,
“Hearing Voices from Space,ö on its website. The first version covers
grades K-8, and the second, grades 9-12 & postsecondary.  The articles
are available at the NASA Education page:
http://education.nasa.gov/home/index.html and once there follow the links
"For Students" or "For Educators".

4. Astronaut Training Status

The Brazilian Space Agency is working with astronaut Marcos Pontes to obtain
an amateur radio license and callsign for him, so that he may participate in
an ARISS contact during his spring 2006 taxi flight. A training session at
JSC has also been scheduled to familiarize Pontes with ARISS school
operations.

Ham Radio Pioneered Invention Available to the Public

AMSAT News Service Bulletin 015.05
From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.
January 15, 2006
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-015.05

Talking pants, a ham radio inspired invention by those of us who
carry our HT in a pocket or on a belt, will become available to
the general public.

Jeans giant Levi's is hoping to woo fashionistas and music
aficionados alike with its new iPod-compatible RedWire DLX jeans,
due out this fall.

With a joystick remote control built into the watch pocket, the
new jeans will allow wearers to play, pause, track forward or back
and adjust the volume on their iPods without having to take them
out of their pockets.

A separate pocket will house and conceal the bulge of the iPod,
while a built-in retractable headphone unit is designed to prevent
tangled wires.

A red conductive ribbon will keep wearers connected while allowing
them to remove the iPod from their pockets to view the screen, the
company said.  Users will need to remember to empty their pockets
before doing the laundry.
