John,
This is reality... This young man outside in the cold is dedication. I
wish him well.
Maybe our new editor of the Journal can use this as a cover page to show
that ARISSAT-1 was a great attention getter to all hams.
Thanks for noticing this. All the best for the New Year, John.
73,
Dee, NB2F

If you go to www.n9xh.org you will find some shots of a young man, new
to the hobby, with his freshly delivered by Santa HT and a home brew
antenna catching the last few SSTV images from ARISSat. I think he's
been a ham for just a couple of months. Great to see.

That one had me going because I was on a hike on Jan 3 near Polk County
(http://tinyurl.com/7u5rxvk) and copied just the audio from ARISSat-1 on
an HT just on a lark. But we were only in flannel shirts and sweat
shirts. Then I noticed the state differential - I was in Florida wheres
N9XH is in Wisconsin!

John,
I think this is excellent. A good way to show the dedication of a
new ham. It is a very fitting tribute to demise of ARISSAT-1.

Couldn't we have a "ARISSat-1-2-3 etc. sitting on the shelf and everytime
they send up a supply/crew change bring another ARISSat.? Then throw it out
whenever available.? Seems simple however I am sure the logistics would be
complex.?

Dale,
Yep...we plant enough seeds and every so often one sprouts. My friend and
associate in crime Greg, N9CHA is a member there and if you scroll through
their archived pages you will see that the club was having a "build a tape
measure yagi" get together and this young man and his dad happened to see
about it and stopped by, I don't think either of them were hams at that
time ( just a couple of months ago) the session was to build up antennas
for a fox hunt. The club members welcomed them and dug up anough parts for
them. The young man got his ticket and took that fox hunting yagi and
pointed it to the sky! There is an ARISS contact coming in St. Paul in May
and N9XH will be assisting with that. I've met some of the hams up there
and they are a super group.
73,
John- AG9D

Gawd, I don't know what for ... (grin) I mean, ARISSat-1 was a measly 250mW
on its 2M broadcast, and I couldn't ask for a stronger, cleaner signal from
it that I had while receiving it with my HT and an Arrow antenna.
Same with SO-50 and AO-27.
Keep it simple! If you are NOT clearly hearing decent passes of '50 and/or
'27 with small beams/Yagis on your HT - then there is something wrong
elsewhere in your setup.

Or just maybe, YOU could respect what others choose to do in operating on

I keep saying this over and over but no-one has taken me seriously yet ;-)
A cubesat is the size and weight of a bag of sugar. We need a rucksack full
of cubesats to send up to the ISS. The next time an ISS crewmember is on an
EVA they can toss it over the side and let it fly. When it breaks or
re-enters, toss the next one out.
We could easily use cheap off-the-shelf parts, even old HTs with a bit of
"added lightness". I'll even throw in a rucksack. Let's get on this.

But there is already another ARISSat on the ground in Russia, two were
shipped, also two engineering versions in the States.
However, someone has to pay what must be in excess of $150,000 to get the
sat to the ISS and then get half an hour of very valuable EVA time to deploy
it.
The Japanese Experiment Module Remote Manipulator System on the ISS Kibo
module will be able to deploy CubeSats from the ISS without the need for a
very expensive EVA. As I recall there are several amateur radio CubeSats
slated for deployment by the Kibo Robot Arm later this year, see
CubeSat to use 5.8 GHz and Optical Comms

Ok, I'll bite. Is there a standard design? Is any group currently
working on a design that could be mass produced? What would the per
article cost be for the sat itself, testing, etc broken down by line item.

> A cubesat is the size and weight of a bag of sugar. We need a rucksack
full of cubesats to send up to the ISS. The next time an ISS crewmember is
on an EVA they can toss it over the side and let it fly. When it breaks or
re-enters, toss the next one out.

Hello,
Once again I will have the pleasure to be involved with one of the major
events on the East Coast for Amateur Radio. Ham Radio University,
http://hamradiouniversity.org/, billed as "A Day of education to share
ideas, experience, knowledge and fellowship among Amateur Radio operators".
I will lead the Satellite Forum, "How you can have your own Amateur
Satellite Space Station", in addition I will be a moderator on Political
Advocacy, discussing my work with H.R. 607 and H.R. 3288. I would like to
appeal to anyone who lives in Rep. Berman's 28th CD in California to contact
me for assistance on H.R. 3288.
I will be on the 12:52 EST pass of AO-27 as special event station W2V, I
hope we can work many stations to spread the word that Amateur Satellites
are a thrill. N2MUN, will be the QSL manager for the event, his contact
information is on www.QRZ.com, thank you
73's Pete

Or why not just turn the voice transponder on one of the two radio's that
are on the ISS? Hmmm...
Or why not just install whatever type of setup that would make everyone
happy ON THE ISS? Why waste all that money developing/building all these
sats and then waste all that money on a launch vehicle that does not deliver
the package like how many times in the past?
But considering the last escapade with ARISSat-1 I guess it would be asking
to much... :)
