All,
this morning I made some very interesting measurements of the beacon signal
from RS-15.
Does anyone know the relationship between the length of the carrier and
(presumably) the temperature?
The length varies between 1.5 seconds and sometimes over 20 seconds.
You can see some interesting graphs here: http://www.dk3wn.info/p/?p=13008
Thanks and 73,
Mike

Hi!
Lots of activity on the birds today. Kerry WC7V has been busy at DN46/DN56,
and Larry
XE2/KI6YAA was just on AO27 from the DL29/DM20 boundary on the east side of
the Baja
California peninsula. Kerry posted his plans to the -BB previously, and
Larry mentioned to
me earlier that he would be heading toward Bahia de los Angeles on the Gulf
of California side
of Baja California this weekend.
Along with those two, I will be on various passes from DM34/DM44 in
north-central
Arizona today through the 0114 FO29 pass. Many of the regulars already have
me in their
logs from these grids, but some have picked these up as new grids for their
logs.
This is a great way to start springtime. Getting some new grids in the log
from WC7V
and KI6YAA from rarely-heard spots, and even giving out some grids from
here. :-) Who
knows what else might turn up later.
Good luck to all, and 73!

My plan was to upload 13 messages!! (13? bad luck #?)? ;-)
Yes I did the math and many tests for this acording to satellite pass.
Unfortunately the FM ruin my all week plan!! (For sure an unintended QRM
from single?station .But?with a?big gun hi hi?).
Anyhow the following photos? (link) show more info

looking for anyone who may have a audio recording of the ISS making contact
with N0ZHE, this would have been a number of years ago. 3-5yrs?

Adrian, AA5UK, will be on Oahu (BL11) and Kauai (BL02ic & BL01) operating
portable KH6. He plans to operate on the Linear and FM satellites during his
stay, mostly from his rented house in BL02ic (March 27th through April 5th)
and
will try to operate portable/mobile from BL11 and BL01 time
permitting. Emphasis
will be SSB on FO-29, VU-52, AO-7 and HO-68. He will post daily
availability via
AMSAT BB, his QRZ page and Twitter: @xxxxx. Schedule requests are
encouraged due
to the limited pass windows for those operators needing HI for WAS at
the fringe

SpaceX Completes Falcon 9 Static Fire Test

BID: $ANS-080.06
On Saturday, March 13, SpaceX successfully completed a test firing of the
inaugural Falcon 9 launch vehicle at Space Launch Complex 40 located at Cape
Canaveral. Following a nominal terminal countdown, the launch sequencer
commanded ignition of all 9 Merlin first stage engines for a period of 3.5
seconds.
Just prior to engine ignition, the pad water deluge system was activated
providing acoustic suppression to keep vibration levels within acceptable
limits. The test validated the launch pad propellant and pneumatic systems as
well as the ground and flight control software that controls pad and launch
vehicle configurations.
This was the final step for the rocket and launch pad before launch itself.
SpaceX is now waiting for completion of the final set of tests of the flight
termination system, specifically the explosives and initiators, and the
acceptance of that test documentation by Air Force range safety.

1. Upcoming School Contacts
Shiogama Daini Junior High School in Shiogama, Japan has been scheduled for an
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) contact on Thursday,
March 25 at 07:44 UTC. To prepare for the contact, the youth studied astronomy
and were introduced to the Hubble Space Telescope. They learned about radio
communication and some students continued their studies and prepared for their
amateur radio license exams.
2. JAXA Astronaut Participates in ARISS Contact with Alma Mater
On Tuesday, March 9, JAXA's Soichi Noguchi, KD5TVP participated in an Amateur
Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) contact with his alma mater,
Ikaruga Elementary School, in Taishi Town, Japan. Approximately 350 guests
watched as fifteen students asked their questions of the on-orbit astronaut.
This ARISS activity was the highlight of the Ikaruga science curriculum on
environmental issues and received significant media coverage.
