Indeed, the Russian Federal Space website says that Kedr (ARISSat-1) will be
"Activated" on April 12 and you can see this can be acheived by connecting
ARISSat-1 to the ISS antenna as they did on Feb 10.
I'd like to express my thanks to all the ARISSat team volunteers who've been
working so hard recently to get the telemetry decoding software,
Website/twitter and other activites all ready for Feb 16. The deployment of
ARISSat-1 was originally planned for the end of Feb and was then brought
forward by 2 weeks so the volunteers must have been working flat out to get
everything ready.
It now looks like we have to wait until July for deployment but that's Space
for you, it's a high risk arena - nothings certain. I look forward to July.

That previous reference wasn't a joke - sorry it went to the Russian page.
But here's the citation - in English:
>From the Russian Federal Space Agency's Web site:
FEBRUARY 12 - " ... In addition, the cosmonauts switched on small satellite
Kedr
to be activated on April 12, so RF-amateur station all over the world could
hear
the signals from space.
"Kedr was developed under the RadioSkaf experiment. The satellite's name was
adopted by Yu.A. Gagarin call sign in his historical flight, namely Kedr. The
satellite's signal will be transmitted at radio amateur frequency of 145.95
MHz.
Kedr has radio amateur call sign RS1S.
"RadioSkaf is implemented in the framework of UNESCO's student space education
program."

But there's light in the ISS, if the panels are uncovered it would recharge.

Stu,
If you mean "LoTW," Logbook of The World:
http://www.arrl.org/logbook-of-the-world
The AMSAT Symposium is _normally_ over the Columbus Day weekend. The
location for 2011 is currently under discussion, but should be announced
Real Soon Now.

Hi All,
Does anyone here know anything about the Yaesu FTM-350AR (or the 350R)? I
keep gazing at it (pretty radio ;-P), but I am having a hard time finding
reviews, pros/cons, etc. Maybe someone could shed some light on its APRS
capabilities? I see that it is supposedly full duplex ? does anyone know if
it is truly full duplex? It looks like a pretty sweet radio, I just don?t
understand while I can?t find anyone that knows anything about it.
Any other information pertaining to it would be highly appreciated.

Zach,
It has been discussed a bit here, much more on APRS forums. For reviews by
users:
http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/8716
As usually with eHam, toss out the extremes, both good and bad.
For a full QST review, see the January 2011 issue.

ARISSat in it's flight configuration does not have a provision for external
power. During ground testing we have a special cable for external power that
connects where the battery goes but that cable was not planned to be used
on the ISS. There is the capability to remove the battery and recharge it
while onboard the ISS. That should happen only once.

An earlier report from a tester suggest that some older versions of Excel

FYI.
EG8, CANARY ISLANDS (Special Event). Look for special event station EG8ISS
to be on the air between February 12th and March 11th, from Las Palmas,
Gran Canaria (AF-004, DIE S-005, WLOTA L 0969). Activity is to celebrate/
publicize the first ARISS (International Space Station) contact with one
of the "Institute for Technological Development and Innovation in Communi-
cations" (IDeTIC) facilities on campus. The special event station will be
on the HF bands, 40-10 meters, using CW, SSB, RTTY,*PSK31* and SSTV. Also,
activities are planned for VHF (2m FM local and R7 repeater) and the
satellites (AO-27, SO-50, AO-51 and VO-52). There is a special QSL card
designed for this event that will be automatically mailed to your QRZ.com
address. Please, keep in mind that they aren't highly skilled radio
operators, so be patient if there are any pileups. More info is available
on the QRZ.com under EG8ISS. A Twitter page is also available at:

curious how that works with "battery" life. It is kind of interesting that
the Energia folks seem to have thought this one up on their own, it seems to
have caught the AMSAT folks a tad by surprise...

One more "curious" thing
If the "sat package" can be switched on and "run" for some period of
time...then why not just keep it on the space station and hook it up to
external power...and well then its a better package...? Because if it
cannot be hooked up to external power and the battery situation dealt with
then the batteries for the Orlan suit) are well going to drain pretty fast
given the current use...
