Hi!
It has been a nice day down here at "Gringo Pass", the
collection of shops on the north side of the USA/Mexico
border in Lukeville, Arizona. I have worked 9 passes
as of the 2302 UTC AO-51 pass. I plan on working 3
more passes before 0100 UTC (FO-29 @ 0010 UTC,
SO-50 @ 0020 UTC or whenever I stop working
stations on FO-29, then AO-51 @ 0042 UTC). By that
point, it will be dark down here and time to go home.
I know my APRS track stopped about 20 miles/32km north
of Lukeville, and I won't be back in range of that last digi
until I go back there. My operating location is in DM31ov,
about 50 yards/meters north of the border fence on the
west side of AZ-85 - the same place I operated from on
my other trip down here last year.

STRAIGHT KEY NIGHT ON OSCAR 2011
You are cordially invited to participate in Straight Key Night on
OSCAR 2011, conducted by AMSAT for radio amateurs throughout the
world.
This year's event is dedicated to the memory of Dick Peacock, W2GFF,
who died in 2010 aged 91. Dick was an active satellite operator in
the 1970s and 1980s, mostly on CW and usually with a straight key.
He was also active on 50 MHz and the HF bands, and could always be
counted on for a kind word and a friendly QSO.
There are no rules, no scoring and no logs required. Just operate CW
on any OSCAR satellite, using a straight hand key, from 0000 UTC to
2400 UTC on 1 January 2011, working as many SKN stations as you can.
In keeping with the friendly nature of this event, each participant
is asked to nominate one of the operators worked for "Best Fist."
It is not necessary that your nominee have the best fist of anyone
you heard, just of those you worked. Please send your nomination to
W2RS via email at w2rs@xxxxx.xxx.
Those nominated will be recognized in an ANS bulletin to be publish-
ed in early February, and in The AMSAT Journal.

HOPE-OSCAR 68 HO-68 Commemorates First Anniversary
This week AMSAT China noted the first anniversary of XW-1, also
known as Hope-Oscar 68 HO-68 with an announcement from Michael
Chen, BD5RV/4 at AMSAT-China.
AMSAT President Barry Baines, WD4ASW remarked that HO-68 was a
significant milestone for both amateur radio and AMSAT-China.
Barry wrote, "We are very excited to see that HO-68 continues to
operate in good health and that a new member of the AMSAT Inter-
national family has established itself. Again, congratulations on
a placing HO-68 in service and best wishes for the New Year."
>From India, Secretary of the Upagrah Amateur Radio Club at the

AMSAT-UK FUNcube Help needed with educational outreach
AMSAT-UK is looking for people in the educational field to help
develop the educational outreach part of the FUNcube satellite
project.
AMSAT-UK's FUNcube is an educational satellite project with the
goal of enthusing and educating young people about radio, space,
physics and electronics. Additionally it features a 435 to 145 MHz
Linear Transponder for SSB/CW operation for use outside school hours.
It will support the many existing educational Science, Technology,
Engineering and Maths (STEM) initiatives including GB4FUN.
The target audience consists of school pupils and young people gener-
ally, FUNcube will feature a 145 MHz telemetry beacon that will pro-
vide a strong signal for the pupils to receive.
A simple FUNcube dongle SDR receiver has also been developed. This
will connect to the USB port of a laptop to display telemetry and
messages in an interesting way.
The project commenced in October 2009 and it is anticipated that the
satellite will be launched before the end of 2011. More information
can be found at http://www.funcube.org.uk/
As the technical work on the satellite itself is now well underway,
AMSAT-UK is now looking to develop the educational outreach part of
the project. This will include the design and contents of the "ground
station" laptop display, the best method of providing the information
so that it relates to current curricula, and all the supporting infor-
mation that will be needed by the teachers. As they have little current
educational experience Amsat-UK need additional professional advice as
to how to carry it forward.
The FUNcube website now has details of the planned educational aspects
of the project. See http://www.funcube.org.uk (see the "education out-
reach" link).
If you are in the educational field and have experience in curriculum
matters then please consider helping AMSAT-UK with this.
In the first instance please contact Richard G3RWL for further infor-
mation via e-mail: g3rwl at amsat.org

+ AMSAT's Keeper of the Keps, Ray Hoad WA5QGD advised that recent
Cubesats launched from Kodiak have been added to the AMSAT KEP
distribution:
RAX - Cat # 37223
OOREOS - Cat # 37224
FASTSAT - Cat # 37225
FAST1 and FAST2 - Cat # 37227 (FAST1 and FAST2 have the same KEPs)
For some reason, yet unknown, Spacetrack is not publishing the KEPs
for the above satellites. Special thanks to Drew Glasbrenner (KO4MA)
for helping find the location of the KEPs for the above satellites.
+ Boris, UA0QJ (Asiatic Russia) in grid PP42TA has been reported to be
active on AO7 mode B. He has been operating CW so far.
+ Listen for Duane, K5VGU operating portable on the satellites from
Kentucky grid EM67 mostly and possibly the Kentucky piece of EM68.
Duane will be in the area December 22 through December 29.
+ Listen for Daniel, VO1DZX operating portable VO2 from Labrador (FO62)
until December 31. Daniel reports that bad operating conditions and
lack of transportation will probably keep him from working any addi-
tional grids. The best time to find him will be on the late afternoon/
early evening AO51 passes as long as he can get on. Weekends will be
a good time to catch him as well.
+ Congratulations to AMSAT's Samudra N3RDX on his selection to present
a technical paper at the AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting in January
2011 in Orlando, Florida. His paper is: "A Broadband Multi-hop Network
for Earth-Mars Communication using Multi-purpose Interplanetary Relay
Satellites and Linear-Circular Commutating Chain Topology".

Thank-You For Your Support - ARISSat-1 and FOX PayPal Widget Fundraising
AMSAT-NA VP Operations, Drew Glasbrenner, KO4MA noted this week that,
"We are just about to cross the $1000 mark on our PayPal fundraiser,
and along with the $710 raised from the Facebook campaign, we are
making a dent in recovering the funds spent on ARISSat-1 and those
funds that will be spent on FOX."
Drew continued, "I want to thank those that donated, and those that
took the time to add the widget to their webpages and QRZ profiles,
and especially recognize two members who have excelled in creating
exposure for our campaign. John Papay, K8YSE and Clint Bradford, K6LCS
have pulled away from the pack in the number and amount of donations
resulting from their copies of the widget, with $290 dollars raised
between them. Gentlemen, thank you!"
Beginning with the $1250 mark, we will be randomly picking a donor
from every $250 increment to receive an item from the AMSAT store.
We currently have two different hats, a nice luggage tag, or a desktop
thermometer/clock set to choose from, all bearing the AMSAT name and
logo. Drew hopes to announce our first recipient soon!
In conclusion, Drew writes, "Thanks again, and if you'd like to donate
to the campaign or share the widget to your own website, please visit
http://www.amsat.org. The widget is on the front page below the ARISSat-1
news, and you can click on "Give" to donate, or "add to site" to receive
the HTML code, or "supporters" to scroll through the statistics. I hope
to soon see more familiar names scrolling across the widget soon, showing
your support for AMSAT's next two satellites."
Donations, memberships, and store purchases may also be made through the
AMSAT store on the website, or by calling Martha at 1 888 322 6728.
[ANS thanks AMSAT-NA VP Operations, Drew Glasbrenner, KO4MA for the

In addition to regular membership, AMSAT offers membership in
the President's Club. Members of the President's Club, as

Doing what I try to do every vacation which is try to spend a little time
back on the birds. I've yet to have a QSO on HO-68. I hear the beacon just
fine. But I just finished my 2nd pass from NJ and was unable to hear any
signals let alone myself coming back on any mode. Did I misread the
operating schedule or am I doing something wrong? MacDoppler told me there
was a good pass to this part of the world are around 21:30 my time. Great
beacon strength but nobody else was home.

Beautiful signals on the S-band downlink, MUCH stronger than I receive on
435. Thanks to K8YSE, WB8OTH, WA4NVM, and WC7V for the contacts on mode
V/S.
My apologies for the low audio: I was using a memory channel that was set
up for SO-67, so it's narrowband...

Rick.....HO-68 is not turned on every pass. At that 2130 utc time, it was
off,
even though it flew over the US, and the beacon is always on no matter what.
HO-68 usually has morning passes, coming from the north down to the south.
Check the Amsat-bb here for latest schedule and mode, think it was just the
other day infact.

fine. But I just finished my 2nd pass from NJ and was unable to hear any
signals let alone myself coming back on any mode. Did I misread the
operating schedule or am I doing something wrong? MacDoppler told me there
was a good pass to this part of the world are around 21:30 my time. Great
beacon strength but nobody else was home.

Hi folks,
Last week the flash boot memory of a CAN controller on Sumbandila was
corrupted by a probable radiation event. It does not affect
satellite health but prevents activation of the amateur radio
repeater, as the particular script detects an anomaly and aborts.
The same problem also occurred in October of 2009 and was corrected.
However, the fix requires time consuming effort, which cannot be
exerted immediately.
SO-67 repeater activations are therefore suspended. We apologise for
any disappointment and hope to return to normal operations somewhere
in January.
73 de ZR1CBC, Johann.

I heard it at approx 04:05 UTC however I was wondering if there was
something wrong, the beacons were very infrequent, I think I only
heard 3 during the whole pass. Unfortunately I don't have 9600bps
hardware at present, so I can't provide any tlm from them.
