it
illustrates how much more access time a high latitude station gets on a polar
orbit as compared to say, a 28.3 degree latitude location.

On Thursday,
February 20, the Department of Defense (DoD) announced the release of
its Electromagnetic Spectrum Strategy (EMS) to increase available
spectrum in order to meet growing demand from the commercial wireless
industry.
The strategy follows the release of a memorandum issued
in 2010 by President Obama titled ?Unleashing the Wireless Broadband
Revolution,? which requires 500 MHz of spectrum be made available for
commercial use by 2020.
Amateur UHF and Microwave spectrum is shared with DoD. The release of 500
MHz may result in more intensive use by the DoD of the remaining spectrum.

Good morning,
KS1G and I will conduct satellite demonstrations at the Vienna
Wireless Winterfest in Annandale, Virginia on Sunday morning.
We will be on the following two passes:
VO-52 - 1228Z - 1240Z
FO-29 - 1347Z - 1404Z
I will be calling CQ about 5 kHz +/- above center. Please give us a
call if you hear us!
We will also be conducting an AMSAT forum immediately following the
FO-29 pass. After the forum, we will demonstrate decoding telemetry
from FUNcube-1.
More information regarding the hamfest can be found here:

Nice event planned.
The K4AMG Sat Com Station will be down as we are working antennas at Radio
ridge in Dinwiddie County, VA.
If you all do a preset up on Saturday we could work you.

The $50sat team is celebrating 90 days in orbit by proposing a technical
challenge to all interested amateurs. $50sat is capable of responding to
uplink command packets:
There are 3 open packets: Test packet - $50SAT responds by sending the RSSI
of the received packet in slow FM Morse. Request data packet - the normal
data packet is sent. Request RTTY - The RTTY is sent. In addition all
received packets result in two copies of the ack packet being sent, that
contains the RSSI of the received packet.
All the required information to accomplish this is available on the drop box
location available through the $50sat web page at www.50dollarsat.info .
Anyone that can demonstrate a successful command uplink by submitting a
recording of the response packet along with the date, time and location of
of the contact will receive aCertificate of Technical Accomplishment signed
by all three builders of $50sat. Submissions can be madeto the $50sat email
address; 50dollarsat at yahoo.com. This is a significant challenge because
there is no magic black box that you can buy to do this.
After 90 days of operation, the Kodak KLIC-7002 camera battery that powers
the satellite has fallen off about 100mV, but operations still seem normal.
We have also programmed a special 5th morse beacon to thank our launch
sponsor and mentor prof. Bob Twiggs. Please give a listen for the message
TNX KE6QMD on the FM Morse beacon.
QSL cards are still available to anyone that posts telemetry, either hand
copied CW or RTTY captures,
to the 50dollarsat yahoo group.
73 and good luck to all from the $50sat team
