I'll send you a link to my site for you to download. If you don't get my
mail by tomorrow please contact me (we had mail issues before, so I'm
afraid you'll miss my mail again).

Yes, those are exactly the symptoms.

The age of the directory was already set to 3 days, and yesterday (Jan
7) the hole was still there to be filled. Today it wasn't!!! I changed
the age to 4 days and it was scheduled to be filled again. Jan 8 minus 4
is either 5 or 4 depending if you count the current day as one, so that
should mean PSGS shouldn't ask for it to be filled. So how does the math
for the age of the directory work?
I caught up with all the mail now, although I can't see the mail with a
photo of your Manhattan antenna setup.
Trying to upload an image myself now since yesterday (60k). Today had
only one pass with consistent strong signals and the upload continued
from yesterday. At this rate it will take 4 days to upload it, but at
least it remembers now where it left off.
No more passes today, so we'll have to wait till Thursday.

Just sending out a friendly reminder to anyone who is just beginning on
the FM satellites that there is a standard operating procedure that
helps to ensure that everyone gets a chance at a QSO or two on a pass.
(Calling "CQ Saudisat" is not standard operating procedure, especially
if you are transmitting over someone else.)
Please take the time read the following very helpful document from the
amsat.org website:
https://www.amsat.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/FM-Satellites-Best-
Practices.pdf
Following these procedures makes the satellite more fun for everybody.

Amateur Radio on the International Space Station?
?
Contact Opportunity?
?
Call for Proposals?
?
Upcoming Proposal Window is February 1, 2020 to March 31, 2020
?
The Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) Program is
seeking formal and informal education institutions and organizations,
individually or working together, to host an Amateur Radio contact with a
crew member on board the ISS.? ARISS is happy to announce a proposal window
will open February 1, 2020 for contacts that would be held between January
1, 2021 and June 30, 2021. Crew scheduling and ISS orbits will determine the
exact contact dates. To maximize these radio contact opportunities, ARISS is
looking for organizations that will draw large numbers of participants and
integrate the contact into a well-developed education plan.?
?
?
?
The proposal window for contacts between January 1, 2021 and June 30, 2021
will open on February 1, 2020 and close on March 31, 2020.? Proposal
information and documents can be found at www.ariss.org. Two ARISS
Introductory Webinar sessions will be held on November 7, 2019. The first is
at 6:00 PM ET and the second is at 9:00 PM ET. The same material will be
covered during both sessions, so choose the session that best fits your
schedule. The Eventbrite link to sign up
is?https://ariss-introductory-webinar-fall-2019.eventbrite.com?.
?
The Opportunity?
?
Crew members aboard the International Space Station will participate in
scheduled Amateur Radio contacts. These radio contacts are approximately 10
minutes in length and allow students to interact with the astronauts through
a question-and-answer session.?
?
An ARISS contact is a voice-only communication opportunity via Amateur Radio
between astronauts and cosmonauts aboard the space station and classrooms
and communities. ARISS contacts afford education audiences the opportunity
to learn firsthand from astronauts what it is like to live and work in space
and to learn about space research conducted on the ISS. Students also will
have an opportunity to learn about satellite communication, wireless
technology, and radio science. Because of the nature of human spaceflight
and the complexity of scheduling activities aboard the ISS, organizations
must demonstrate flexibility to accommodate changes in dates and times of
the radio contact.?
?
Amateur Radio organizations around the world with the support of NASA and
space agencies in Russia, Canada, Japan and Europe present educational
organizations with this opportunity. The ham radio organizations' volunteer
efforts provide the equipment and operational support to enable
communication between crew on the ISS and students around the world using
Amateur Radio.??

guidelines and proposal form, and dates and times of Information Webinars,

About ARISS:
?
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative
venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that
support the International Space Station (ISS).? In the United States,
sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American
Radio Relay League (ARRL), the ISS National Lab and National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA). The primary goal of ARISS is to promote
exploration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEAM)
topics by organizing scheduled contacts via amateur radio between crew
members aboard the ISS and students in classrooms or public forms. Before
and during these radio contacts, students, educators, parents, and
communities learn about space, space technologies, and amateur radio. For
more information, see www.ariss.org.

Thanks to the efforts of Heimir, W1ANT, an API has been added to retrieve
satellite status data as used in the amsat.org/status page. Send a query
like : amsat.org/status/api/v1/sat_info.php?name=AO-91&hours=24 and you
will get the last 24 hours of reports for AO-91 in JSON format. The hours
parameter is optional, if you omit it you will get the last 96 hours of
reports. The name of the satellite must match the string shown on
amsat.org/status , i.e AO-91 works, but AO-92 does not ... use AO-92_L/v or
AO-92_U/v instead.
This API is not stable yet ... we are still working on the time, and it
seems a query for the list of available satellites is in order. For the
moment, all reports show half past the hour that they were in.

About ARISS
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative
venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that
support the International Space Station (ISS). In the United States,
sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American
Radio Relay League (ARRL), the ISS National Lab and National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA). The primary goal of ARISS is to promote
exploration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)
topics by organizing scheduled contacts via amateur radio between crew
members aboard the ISS and students in classrooms or public forms. Before
and during these radio contacts, students, educators, parents, and
communities learn about space, space technologies, and amateur radio. For
more information, see www.ariss.org.
Thank you & 73,
