I will be doing an all-day satellite demo for the Three Fires Council
Scout-o-Rama tomorrow, May 19, from 1300 to 2200Z. Not sure whether we'll
be signing something-9BSA or W9CCU for the event, but look for us on AO-7,
VO-52, FO-29, AO-27, and SO-50!

Hi!
The first day of the Dayton Hamvention was great. Along with an early-
morning trek out to the Indiana/Ohio state line west of Dayton, I worked
a few passes at AMSAT's demonstration station out in a parking lot.
Thanks for all the QSOs with WD9EWK, as well as those who worked Keith
W5IU earlier in the day. The AMSAT demonstration station will be back
on the air tomorrow (Saturday) morning, throughout the day. You may hear
different calls coming on from there, besides W5IU and WD9EWK, depending
on who is at the mic. The QSOs I made have already been uploaded to
Logbook of the World.
If I wake up early enough in the morning, I will make another trek out
to the Indiana/Ohio state line east of the I-70/US-40 interchange, about
30 miles/50km west of the Hamvention. My plans are to work the AO-7
passes in mode B at 1032 and 1225 UTC, and possibly the VO-52 pass at
1250 UTC, before driving back to the Hamvention. The spot I parked at
this morning, and will use again tomorrow, is on the state line is in
grid EM79ot, in Richmond (Wayne County) IN and Preble County OH.
Special note for Logbook of the World QSOs on boundaries other than
Maidenhead grid boundaries/intersections... ARRL's Logbook of the World
is not able to handle multiple states/provinces in a single QSO record.
A QSO record must be uploaded for each state/province, and the QSO time
must differ in each of those records by at least 1 minute. In other
words, to confirm a QSO with me on the state line at 1230 UTC, stations
will need to upload a QSO with WD9EWK at 1230 UTC, and another QSO with
the time at least a minute earlier or later than the time in the first
record. For my example, the second QSO record can't have 1230 UTC as
its time, but can have a time of 1229 or 1231 UTC, or some other different
time within 30 minutes +/- of my QSO record, for a QSL in LOTW (assuming
other fields also match up). Otherwise, two records with the same
date/time and other information for a QSO with a callsign will only
result in one of those records (the last of those records uploaded) being
in the system. It is extra work, but I'm not going to complain about it.
Along with my LOTW uploads, I'm happy to send QSL cards confirming QSOs
with WD9EWK - from the Indiana/Ohio state line, at the Hamvention, or
wherever else I may end up in the next couple of days before I fly home.
Just drop me an e-mail with the QSO details, and I'll check my log. If
you're in the log, I will send a card.
73!

It's no go today. The launch was halted at T-0 due to anomalous
reading in an engine chamber and liftoff did not occur. According to
NASA-TV's commentator, the next earliest opportunity should be this
coming Tuesday, allowing for a 3-day scrub turnaround.

I am! Was watching it live on the NASA channel. Engine start...then
abort to shutdown. I heard someone say something about an overpressure
condition causing it, but didn't catch what or where. I'll presume it's
in the propulsion system. I also heard them say that they'll try again
in about 72 hours (Tuesday) with a launch around 3:30 AM EDT, but didn't
get the exact time.
My wife was watching with me as I tried to explain. Her parting words
were, "Sorry your rocket didn't work."
Yeah. Sorry.

One good thing about the shutdown this morning is that the safety
system worked like it was supposed to. It's better to have it happen
this way than for a failure to occur after launch.
It's not the first time this sort of thing happened. I remember
watching one attempt to launch STS-41D which ended seconds before
liftoff:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STS-41-D
Earlier than that was Gemini 6:

Hi!
Day 2 of the Hamvention is going well. Great weather, and
no interruptions from my office back in Phoenix. :-) Thanks
to those who worked WD9EWK on a couple of AO7 passes
and one VO52 pass at the Indiana/Ohio state line west of
Dayton. Doug KD8CAO was on the mic at the Hamvention
demonstration station earlier, and I was able to work him
on that VO52 pass.
The AMSAT forum is in progress now, and the demonstration
station should be on SO50 around 1710 UTC as the forum
wraps up. I'm posting quick updates from the forum via
Twitter (@xxxxxxxx which is also available at:
http://twitter.com/WD9EWK
along with news of my satellite operating while I'm here.
73!
