I was reading online about the AMSAT net out of Huston as I understand.
There are no repeaters that retransmit that I can reach from my home QTH. Is
that net still active is the first question abs the second is dies the AMSAT
Echolink node retransmit the next and if so were can I find the info? That
is if it is still active.

Hello again,
I was wondering do the Wisconsin AMSAT members do things radio together at
all. Like meeting or ops as a group. If so I would like to get in on the
fun. If not to bad, it seems (at least to me) that it would be allot of fun.

Hi Jimmy,
The Houston AMSAT net is the feature of Tuesday evenings. They are still
active.
You can check into the Houston net simply by logging into Echolink and
joining the AMSAT node 101377 on your computer ... just like on your
Saturday AMSAT net. You'll be able to copy all of the 2M repeater traffic
out of Houston via your computer's soundcard.

New AO7 Distance Record Set Twice This Week
On July 2 at 0955Z Bill Dzurilla, NZ5N operating from Slovakia as
OM3BD (grid JN88) reported a successful contact via AO-7 Mode B
with Wyatt Dirks, AC0RA (grid EN31). The GPS-measured distance be-
tween grids JN88 and EN31 is 7849 km. Bill wrote, "Wyatt did all
the hard work by waking up at 0300 his time, driving to a hill an
hour away from his home, setting up his station, and working me be-
fore sunrise. It appears that an even longer distance is attainable,
and Wyatt is looking for a suitable place from which we can try be-
fore I leave Slovakia in mid-July."
Prior distance records set via AO-7 included:
+ PY5LF and ZS6BB 7630 km
+ PS8RF and ZS2BK 7694 km
+ K3SZH and PY2OV 7738 km
+ ZS6BB and EA6SA 7766 km
+ PY5LF and K3SZH 7843 km
+ OM3BD and AC0RA 7849 km (July 2 record with AC0RA in grid EN31)
+ OM3BD and AC0RA 7903 km (July 4 record with AC0RA in grid EN41)
On July 4, Wyatt, AC0RA woke up early and this time drove 150 miles
to EN41 and set up his portable station. A contact, lasting 30 sec-
onds, with OM3BD extended the distance record to 7903.55 km.
The theoretical maximum range of AO-7 is estimated at 7907 km.

Listen for ARRL TI-2: Space in the Classroom Satellite Contacts
The ARRL Teachers Institute - Space in the Classroom is this coming
week - July 9-12. The Institute will meet in Dayton, Ohio and is
sponsored by the Dayton Amateur Radio Association. Additional sup-
port from ARRL ETP donors and Yaesu make this program possible.
The TI-2 Space curriculum focuses on the nuts and bolts of setting
up and operating a satellite ground station. This serves as excel-
lent preparation for a scheduled contact with the ISS through the
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) program.
But it also provides instruction for continued use of satellites
and other man made space assets to explore naturally generated sig-
nals, space and a variety of topics.
The course is 4 days: the first half will be setting up and learn-
ing to operate the ground station, the second half will be practice
making satellite contacts and instruction in using space borne assets
in the classroom. Participants will receive all the equipment neces-
sary to set up a basic satellite ground station.
Matt Severin, N8MS will be instructing the Teachers' Institute. He
will have 8 teachers learning how to set up and operate ground sta-
tions. They plan to operate from about 1200 to 2000 UTC each day,
give or take a few hours. Our primary amateur radio satellites will
be AO27, SO50, FO29, and VO52. They will try to capture data and
telemetry from the many cubesats currently operating. Amateur satel-
lite operators are invited to take a moment to say hello and work a
few of the teachers in Matt's group.
Full details of the ARRL TI-2: Space in the Classroom program can
be found on-line: http://www.arrl.org/ti-2-space-in-the-classroom

University of Florida SwampSat CubeSat Plans for December 2012 Launch
A cubesat called SwampSat, built by students at the University of
Florida, was recently unveiled. They also demonstrated the operation-
al satellite to Florida's Lieutenant Governor.
SwapSat is planning on a ride to orbit on the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket
into a 450 km orbit with an inclination of 45 degrees in the December
2012 timeframe.
The SwampSat downlink will transmit 1 watt of RF on 437.385 MHz, 1200

Near Space Balloon Flight Ham AK4JG Named Newsline Young Ham of the Year
ERIN KING, AK4JG, NAMED 2012 AMATEUR RADIO NEWSLINE?
"YOUNG HAM OF THE YEAR"
(Santa Clarita, California) - Erin King, AK4JG, a 17-year-old from
Columbus, Georgia, who re-founded her high school's radio club and
then lofted a ham radio-carrying balloon to over 90,000 feet, recov-
ered the flight data and used it to produce a truly striking video
of that flight, has been named as recipient of the 2012 Amateur Radio
Newsline Young Ham of the Year Award.
Erin is the daughter of Paul, K4ETY, and Patricia King. She has two
siblings: Brandon, age 16 and Rachel, age 15. Erin became a licens-
ed radio amateur in 2009 and now holds an Extra Class license. She
is a member of the ARRL, the Columbus Amateur Radio Club, and the
Russell County Radio Club. She enjoys operating on local VHF and UHF
repeaters as well as phone and digital modes on the High Frequency
amateur radio bands. She is looking forward to mastering Morse Code
as her next amateur radio challenge.
Erin became interested in amateur radio after joining a club at her
high school dealing with robotics and then ham radio-equipped high-
altitude balloon launches. This school group has participated in
FIRST Robotics competitions, and Erin has twice been Team Lead for
Programming. The club also launches several high-altitude balloon
missions each year, in a program called DREAMS. They have flown var-
ious scientific experiments as part of these missions, in addition
to planning, building, and integrating radios, Global Positioning
System (GPS) units and TNCs to track and recover the balloons. To
facilitate these activities, the group's sponsor, Luther Richardson,
KI4AOJ, has encouraged the students to obtain their amateur radio
licenses.
A subset of this group, including Erin, has participated in the Mass-
achusetts Institute of Technology's (MIT's) "InvenTeam" competition,
designing and building a portable lightning detector and early warn-
ing system. In addition, Erin re-started the Columbus High School
Radio Club and served as its president for the past two years. The
club was active in the 1950s and '60s, and Erin's great-grandfather
(the original K4ETY) was one of its mentors at that time. The new
club obtained the callsign W4CHS (Columbus High School) and has been
active on the air.
Erin's involvement with amateur radio and FIRST Robotics has helped
fuel her interest in science and engineering. Last year, she applied
for early admission to both Georgia Tech and MIT; she was accepted
to both and will be attending MIT this fall.
Inside the shiny tube which contained Erin's MIT acceptance letter
was a note suggesting that the students "hack" their tubes, meaning
to do something cool with them, in a long-standing tradition of MIT
hacks or stunts. Erin chose to send her tube to near-space.
Drawing on her ballooning experience, Erin planned, built, integrat-
ed, and tested a complete new tracking setup to fit into the very
small shipping tube. The payload consisted of two GPS units, two
custom-made antennas, one Argent Data OpenTracker+ kit (which Erin
built), one handheld radio, and a fellow ham's Byonics Pocket Track-
er, a self-contained 100-milliwatt tracker/radio combination in an A
ltoids? tin. Erin also talked her mother into letting her use mom's
brand new GoPro Hero HD video camera.
With the assistance of a group of hams from the Columbus Amateur
Radio club, Erin launched her balloon from Lumpkin, GA. A couple
of hours later, she and the tracking team successfully recovered
it, along with the complete HD video record of the flight. Erin
took this video, as well as other photos and videos taken of the
launch activities, and compiled it into an 8-minute presentation,
complete with background music. She posted it to YouTube, and put
a link to it on the MIT hack-the-tube site. According to YouTube
statistics, Erin's video has been viewed thus far in excess of
82,500 times. (see <http://tinyurl.com/ak4jg-space-video>).
This past May, Erin was invited to participate in no less than three
forums and sessions at the 2012 Dayton Hamvention. These included
the 25th anniversary "Youth Forum," the "Ham Radio Town Meeting" and
an "ARRL Expo" presentation where her video was screened.
AWARD CEREMONY
--------------
The 2012 Amateur Radio Newsline? "Young Ham of the Year Award" will
be presented on Saturday, August 18th at the Huntsville Hamfest in
Huntsville, Alabama. As the 2012 "Young Ham of the Year," Erin will
receive -- courtesy of Yaesu USA -- an expense-paid trip to the
Huntsville Hamfest, along with a gift of Yaesu brand ham radio equip-
ment. CQ magazine will treat her to an expense-paid week at Spacecamp
Huntsville, and will present Erin with a variety of CQ products. Ama-
teur Radio Newsline? will provide Erin with a commemorative plaque at
the award ceremony. Once again, the cost of year's plaque has been
underwritten by Dave Bell (W6AQ), President of DBA Entertainment Inc.,
Hollywood, California. Heil Sound Ltd. will also be presenting Erin
with a ham radio-related gift.

ARISS Status - 2 July 2012
1. Virginia Contact to be Rescheduled
The ARISS contact that was scheduled with the Virginia Air and Space Center in
Hampton, Virginia on Tuesday, June 26 was not successful due to ground station
issues. ARISS will try to reschedule this event for the week of July 23.
2. ARISS Contact Featured at STEM Conference
On Thursday, June 28, an Amateur Radio on the International Space Station
(ARISS) contact was held between Expedition 30/31 crewmember Andr? Kuipers and
students attending the STEM Solutions Youth Summit which was part of the U.S.
News STEM Solutions 2012 conference in Dallas, Texas. Telebridge station K6DUE
in Maryland provided the radio hookup. The contact, a highlight of the event,
provided youth the opportunity to ask Kuipers about life and work in space.
Leland Melvin, Associate Administrator for Education, and Charlie Bolden, NASA
Administrator, attended the conference.

Hi All,
These proposals to reform the UK Outer Space Act, include changes to make it
more ?cubesat friendly?. Whilst they only relate to our, UK legislation,
both the Consultation Document and the Impact Assessment Document cover a
lot of interesting ground, technical, legal and statistical. Well worth a
review in my opinion.

There is only one more day to get your AMSAT 2012 Field Day submission
sheets in. Monday, July 9, 2012 at 23:59PM Central Time is the deadline.
I have only received 12 submissions thus far. I acknowledge when I
receive a submission, if you sent one and I did not email you back,
please send it again. All 12 are scored and in my spread sheet. So far,
*^%$#@ is number 1, ^%^&** is number 2 and &^$#@ is number 3. Looks like
those calls were scrambled in the email somehow.

Hello Everyone,
I just spotted this in the DXNL 1787 - DX Newsletter. It would be too late
if we waited for the next weekend ANS bulletin cycle ... so here it is:
FP, ST PIERRE ET MIQUELON, NA-032
Eric,FP/KV1J, plans to hand out some IOTA points in SSB/CW/RTTY/PSK31
on 160m-6m operating from Miquelon (NA-032, DIFO FP-002, WLOTA 1417,
Loc GN17) on July 10-17. If the conditions are fine he may also work
via satellites. His plans include also the IARU HF World Championship.
QSL via homecall. See also: http://www.kv1j.com/fp/July12.html
