Hi,
Success. Heard Omid during the 1640 UTC pass
over the Great Lakes, EN62.
Signal had lots of flutter, but the tone was plainly
heard. Was able to hear 3 cycles.

AMSAT Education:
We just heard the 465.000 MHz Iranian OMID satellite loud and
clear. It was 20 seconds on and then off, on a 2 minute cycle.
Tune FM. Object number is 33506. Passes are mid morning to mid
evening in the mid northern latitudes local time.
For what it is worth, here is the list of satellites that we use
in our student satellite lab for tuning in. The students have
to make the predictions, and then they individually come to the
lab to see if they can hear their chosen satellite.
To our knowledge, these are the working AMSATs. If we missed
any, let me know.
Our list is on this web page:

All,
It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of Dieter Schliemann,
KX4Y.
Those that knew Dieter recognized that he was a "class act"---a great
gentleman and colleague who will be sorely missed by all. Dieter was
instrumental in leading and supporting many key activities in AMSAT and on
the ARISS program.
For ARISS, Dieter led the school contact IRLP/Echolink initiative. Through
this amateur radio VOIP system, Dieter and his team substantially extended
our reach of the school contacts. And through his efforts, tens of
thousands of school students and ham radio operators, world-wide, could
listen to other school contacts, enhancing education and giving all a better
understanding of what it is like to live and work on ISS. Dieter's
diplomacy, teambuilding skills and attention to the details were impeccable
and were well respected within the team. He rose to the challenge when I
asked him to lead the IRLP/Echolink team. At the time, there were strong,
divergent opinions on the use of IRLP and Echolink on ARISS. He
singlehandedly developed a cohesive team that is producing great results and
are enjoying working together.
Over the past couple of years, Dieter fought a long and courageous battle
with Cancer. A month ago, all of us thought he was on the road to recovery.
Unfortunately, that did not come to pass. Through it all, Dieter remained
the gentle, caring person that we all have grown to love. And during his
illness, he remained dedicated to his AMSAT and ARISS causes and
responsibilities. When he received the surprising news from the doctors
that he had only two weeks to live and despite being weak from a long
hospitalization, Dieter got on the e-mail and worked a transition plan to
ensure the IRLP/Echolink capabilities on ARISS continues. What a great,
compassionate, loving human being!
I first met Dieter behind the AMSAT Booth at Dayton, where he was one of the
mainstay individuals supporting AMSAT efforts at the Hamvention. Reflecting
on Dieter's support to AMSAT, AMSAT Board Member Gould Smith, WA4SXM,
stated, "Two years ago Dieter told me that the only reason he came to Dayton
was to work in the AMSAT booth and to talk with people about AMSAT". And he
supported AMSAT in many other ways, including his efforts as an Area
Coordinator, where he mentored a countless number of satellite enthusiasts.
We are eternally grateful for all Dieter has done for AMSAT and the ARISS
program. And will miss him dearly.
On behalf of the ARISS and AMSAT teams, we wish to express our deepest
sympathy to the Schliemann family and friends. Especially his wife Tina and
his good friend Ron Arsenault, N1NYR, who helped Dieter and the Schliemann
family throughout Dieter's long illness.

Dieter will be missed in the IRLP community also.
(Sending a copy of your announcement to the IRLP list, Frank. Thank you.)

Just for the record in those trouble days.
Since the end of AO-40 this feedup wave came and go at moderate chop beyond
the reef. I was surfing also time to time but on Feb the 10 UTC
on FO-29 0110 pass and i was alone with KC4KMY. In the eastern NA common foot
print ALL the northern, eastern and south European continent
was in view and in bonus the north and east coast of Africa. Near LOS the
northern part of South America up to the amazon river was in
view.
Signal where Q5 but only two surfers... I know they where sleeping on the old
continent but if by any chance someone is passing by his
shack overnight heading to his toilet just check through the blinds for a
couple of minutes. There is a lot of DX opportunities on FO-29
actually.
In the AO-40 era most of the DX pass where overnight here and it was near the
only one way to have super DX QSO's
BTW the first step towards the next HEO is to have one international AMSAT
regrouping all the expertise and funds. That's what someone
named Obama tells the crowds regroup and get together!
The public works snow blower is just passing on my street widening it (one
pass on each side and two other on an intersection) and shooting
all his stuff directly on my front house terrain making a superb sound and
light show... at 0500AM :( too bad no satellite in view!
