Call for Volunteers for the AMSAT Booth at Dayton 2013
The 2013 Dayton Hamvention, sponsored by the Dayton Amateur Radio Association
will be held this year on May 17-19, 2013. "Dayton" is the
largest hamfest in the United States, and AMSAT will be there again this year.
You can assist AMSAT by volunteering to help staff the booth. While there,
you
will meet other AMSAT members, interact with the satellite
designers, builders, and operators, and enjoy all that Dayton has to offer.
People are needed to assist with the setup of the booth on Thursday, May 16
(11
a.m. to 4 p.m.), to staff the booth Friday (9 to 6), Saturday (9 to 5),
and Sunday (9 to 1), and packup on Sunday (1 to 3). Most people volunteer for
one or more 2 hour shifts in the booth.
Unfortunately, Gould Smith WA4SXM, AMSAT's VP-User Services and long-time
Dayton Team Leader will be unable to attend Dayton this year because of
health
issues. AMSAT President Barry Baines, WD4ASW has asked Steve Belter, N9IP to
take the lead on AMSAT's Dayton Operations and he has graciously agreed to
coordinate AMSAT's activities at Dayton for this year. Steve is a long-time
volunteer who has assisted AMSAT at Hamvention in prior years. Please send an
e-mail to Steve Belter,n9ip@xxxxx.xxxx if you are willing to help AMSAT at the
Hamvention. Please advise by April 30thl if you're available to assist.
Additional information on the Hamvention can be found at www.hamvention.org.
Information on AMSAT's extensive Hamvention activities, including details
about
the informal "Get Together" on Thursday evening, the joint AMSAT-TAPR Dinner
on
Friday evening, the AMSAT Forum on Saturday, satellite demonstrations, etc.
will be available on the AMSAT website (www.amsat.org) "soon."

FCC Guidance On Obtaining Licenses For Small Satellites
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) released a Public Notice to
provide
guidance concerning FCC licensing of spectrum for use by small satellites,
including satellites that fall within the categories of pico-satellites,
nano-satellites and cubesats. The advent of such small satellite designs has
brought with it dramatically lower launch costs, enabling a larger range of
organizations to directly launch satellites. Institutions such as universities
and research organizations that previously found it cost prohibitive to launch
their own satellite can now participate in the exploration of space. Many of
these participants may be unfamiliar with the
spectrum licensing, scheduling and
other requirements attendant on satellites. This Public Notice seeks to alert
affected parties of these requirements and thus
aid small satellite operators in
the planning necessary for a successful launch operation.
The Commission?s rules set forth three different procedures for licensing
satellites. The Commission?s Part 25 rules are
the primary vehicle for satellite
licensing, and are used for licensing a wide range of satellite operations,
including commercial communication and remote sensing satellites. The
Commission?s Part 5 rules cover experimental operations. The Commission?s Part
97 rules cover amateur radio service satellite operations.
Currently, many small satellite missions involve experimental operations ?
i.e.
scientific and research missions, including missions conducted under
government
contract ? and many operate in amateur frequency bands. These satellites are
therefore licensed under Parts 5 or 97 of FCC rules. Because of the
significant
interest in small satellites in the amateur and research communities, the
primary focus of this Public Notice is on such operations, although certain
guidance in this Public Notice is also applicable to Part 25 licensing.
licenses well in advance of a launch.
The full public notice can be found at

satellite tracker. See: https://code.google.com/p/ge-satellite-tracker/

> It is designed to pull it's ephemerides directly from space-track.org, so
you will need an account to use it (for now). Eventually, I will get around
to implementing all the fancies I rendered for arissat-1.

> The code is currently in its infancy, so I am open to questions, comments
and suggestions.

> Hi Michael,
> Check out Down East Microwave at www.downeastmicrowave.com. From

> the next page click on Our Online Catalog. On the left side of the page
> click on Components. Scroll down a bit to the MMIC section. They are
> selling MAR-6s for $2.20 a piece with no minimum. There are probably a few
> other components you can use in your project as well on their site. Their
> order process is a bit different than usual, but follow the instructions on
> their online order form and you'll be fine.
