Satellite Operation from the USS IOWA for Scouting JOTA
Jim Jerzycke, KQ6EA says he will be operating for the BSA JOTA event
from the USS IOWA in San Pedro, California on 20 October from 1600
UTC to 2300 UTC. The callsign will be NI6BB on FO-29, AO-27, and AO-7.
Jim will concentrate mostly on the linear birds but conditions per-
mitting he will also try to make FM contacts. Pass predictions also
show a couple of good ISS passes so operation will depend on its
operating mode at that time.
The Jamboree-on-the-Air, or JOTA, is an annual Scouting event that
uses amateur radio to link Scouts around the world, around the na-
tion, and in your own community. For more information about JOTA
see: http://www.scouting.org/jota.aspx

AMSAT 2012 Space Symposium Papers Due October 1
Symposium Proceedings Editor, Dan Schultz, N8FGV reminds authors
the final copy of your paper for the 2012 Space Symposium is due
by October 1, 2012. Dan requests a tentative title of your present-
ation as soon as possible, with final copy to be by October 1 for
inclusion in the printed proceedings. Abstracts and papers should

Proposals for papers, symposium presentations and poster presenta-
tions are invited on any topic of interest to the amateur satellite
community:
+ Papers for publication in the Proceedings
+ Symposium Presentations
+ Poster Presentations
+ Equipment and Operating Demonstrations
The Symposium Committee still has prime slots available on the speak-
er's schedule. The AMSAT Symposium depends on YOU to make it happen,
without speakers there is no Symposium.
Please consider doing a presentation, even if you have never done
so in the past. We are especially interested in papers and present-
ations involving our educational partnerships with K-12 and univer-
sity level classrooms. Education is quickly becoming critical for
our future rides to space.
Additionally registration for the 2012 AMSAT Space Symposium, to be held on
Friday, October 26th through Sunday, October 28th
is now open on-line. A mail-in
option is also available those preferring this approach.

Silent Key: Michael Owen, VK3KI
AMSAT has received the sad news of the passing of IARU Region 3
Chairman Michael Owen, VK3KI, on September 22. He was also Presi-
dent of the Wireless Institute of Australia (WIA).
Owen's first notable contributions to amateur radio started at the
1979 World Administrative Radio Conference. WARC-79 is memorable
primarily because it's where the Amateur Radio Service gained the
bands at 10, 18 and 24 MHz. He also drafted the resolution to exempt
the Amateur-Satellite Service from coordination procedures that
otherwise would have bogged us down in endless paperwork and great
expense. He was a member of the IARU team who handled the rewrite of
Article 25, the rules that apply specifically to the Amateur and Ama-
teur-Satellite Services.
Owen is survived by his wife Nan, and two daughters. Funeral services
were held on September 28 at St Andrews Anglican Church in Brighton,
Victoria, Australia.

UKube-1 Amateur Radio CubeSat Books a Ride on Soyuz-2
AMSAT-UK published this news on their web:
http://www.uk.amsat.org/10497
UKube-1 - the UK Space Agency's first CubeSat mission - has 'booked'
its journey into space on a Russian Soyuz-2 rocket. The launch from
the Baikonur Cosmodrone in Kazakhstan is expected to take place in
March 2013.
UKube-1 carries an amateur radio 435/145 MHz linear transponder built
by members of AMSAT-UK.
The UK Space Agency have issued the following press release:
The UKube-1 nanosatellite is a collaboration between the UK Space
Agency, industry and academia. It will allow the UK to fly educa-
tional packages, test new technologies and carry out new space re-
search quickly and efficiently. It is envisaged as the pilot for a
full national CubeSat programme.
Dr David Williams, Chief Executive of the UK Space Agency, said,
"UKube-1 is almost ready to fly; the platform is nearly complete,
4 of the missions 5 payloads are mission-ready and we have now
secured a launch with Roscosmos. We are eagerly awaiting the start
of the innovative experiments that this small but mighty satellite
will perform once in orbit around our planet."
The winning UKube-1 payloads from the UK Space Agency's payload com-
petition include the first GPS device aimed at measuring plasmaspheric
space weather; a camera that will take images of the Earth and test
the effect of radiation on space hardware, using a new generation of
imaging sensor; an experiment to demonstrate the feasibility of using
cosmic radiation to improve the security of communications satellites
and to flight test lower cost electronic systems; and a payload made
up of 5 experiments that UK students and the public can interact with.
As well as providing a fantastic opportunity for innovative UK com-
panies and UK academics to collaborate on a national space project,
UKube-1 is also useful for training the next generation of space
engineers and will include a tiny radio transmitter for science edu-
cation, and a materials science experiment from which school students
can receive data. The system, funded by volunteer members and friends
of AMSAT-UK, is called FUNcube and will be integrated with UKube-1
as part of the programme.

Hello Everyone,
Here is a news item that would be too late if we waited for the next ANS
bulletins.
I'm posting this as a favor for Tom W5KUB since many hams enjoy his live
amateur radio webcasts. AMSAT is not sponsoring any part of this event nor
endorses any of the products or commercial content.
Lots of hams have a good time during Tom's shows so tune in if you can. You
might win one of his on-line prize drawings too. He randomly picks a
participant in the webchat.
When live webcasts are not going on he loops recordings of his previous
shows. His amateur radio webchat is available from his web page also.

Hi Keith,
It's apparently setup to use hardware modems. This shack loves hardware
TNCs :)
You might be able to get AWGPE working if you can send KISS data out to a
virtual com port...check out http://www.soundcardpacket.org/
"In addition, Tim Pearson KB9VQF has written a
<http://www.pearsoncomputing.net/freeware.php>AGWPE Serial Loopback utility
that creates virtual serial ports that will let you link AGWPE to any packet
program that can link to a KISS-enabled TNC (AGWPE's sound card mode
simulates a KISS TNC). "

Yes, that'll work. You'll make your head hurt getting it all set up tho :)
Quick outline of approach:
1) get AWGPE installed and working.
2) install a virtual serial port pair using something like com0com; use baud
emulation.
3) install AGWPE KISS-Mode Loopback interface. Configure to use one of the
virtual ports; use 9600 baud.
4) Now launch/configure F-1 Telemetry decoder. Pick "the other" virtual com
port, use 9600 baud, and then start it.
Use local APRS packet traffic to test...you should be printing it (raw
data....
It takes a bit of monkey-ing around, but it works!

I found a way of using a software modem to send KISS to the decoder via a
serial port emulator.
Run this modem click activate APRS-SCS support (it only works with the
default soundcard)
http://www.tapr.org/~kb2scs/scs01.html
Download the following Virtual serial port
http://www.hw-group.com/products/hw_vsp/index_en.html
install as standalone
on the virtual Serial port tab select a free com port, ip address 127.0.0.1
and port 4000
run the decoder and connect to the port you setup.
Hope that helps

Hi Keith,
It's apparently setup to use hardware modems. This shack loves hardware
TNCs :)
You might be able to get AWGPE working if you can send KISS data out to a
virtual com port...check out http://www.soundcardpacket.org/
"In addition, Tim Pearson KB9VQF has written a
<http://www.pearsoncomputing.net/freeware.php>AGWPE Serial Loopback utility
that creates virtual serial ports that will let you link AGWPE to any packet
program that can link to a KISS-enabled TNC (AGWPE's sound card mode
simulates a KISS TNC). "

Hi!
I will have an AMSAT table at the new Tucson Hamfest and Fly-In,
hosted by the Oro Valley Amateur Radio Club. The hamfest will be
next Saturday, 6 October 2012, between 0700 and 1300 local time
(1400-2000 UTC). This hamfest will be at a new location northwest
of Tucson, at the Marana Regional Airport along Avra Valley Road
west of I-10 exit 242. More information is available at:
http://www.tucsonhamfest.com/
I will have on-air demonstrations throughout the hamfest, starting
with an SO-50 pass just before the official 1400 UTC start of the event.
I will work passes on that satellite, as well as VO-52 and FO-29, until
an AO-27 pass just before the 2000 UTC end of the hamfest. For the SSB
satellites, I will try to start out around 10 kHz +/- above the center
of the transponder. If you hear WD9EWK on those passes, please call and
be a part of the demonstrations. The hamfest site is in grid DM42jj.
If you work WD9EWK next Saturday and would like to receive a QSL card,
please e-mail me with the QSO details. QSOs will also be uploaded to
Logbook of the World after the hamfest.
73!
