I met Keith Pugh in the late 80's, and was aware that he was party to the
awesome Russian spacecraft exhibit I visited -In Ft. Worth, I think. He was
a quality guy.
I took my wife out tonight to try to spot the Starlink Satellites tonight.
On the way to a poor local Viewing spot here in the city, we realized it was
now overcast, and
after arriving, we discovered we Could see only a single star in a small
hole in the hazy clouds at about 69 degrees, the max elevation and about
Right azimuth in the sky.
Sure enough, we got a show, but completely different from the videos shown
In various places on the net, including Spaceweather.com. Thanks to
N2YO.com for the predix.
We saw 9 very bright sats fly out of the deeper cloudiness and suddenly
appear in the "hole" near the star, one after another, moving fast.
Most were spaced 6 or so seconds apart, the latter ones much more, but all
Very bright, at least first mag or more, And shining through a thin
haze before they met the thicker edge of the hole on the other side and
disappearing just as suddenly. They traversed the hole in perhaps
1.5 seconds or so, no more than two.
I wondered if THESE in the group were flaring, and therefore so much
brighter. It also appeared that a few
Of them were not in the same trajectory , but very close to it. I'd read
that engines were being fired to raise their Orbits now.
Keith would have enjoyed seeing them. Fair winds...
My condolences to his family; I know they will miss him.

Keith Pugh, W5IU Silent Key
May 25, 2019
ARISS Friends,
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of ARISS team member
Keith Pugh, W5IU. Keith spent his life on Earth as a true gentlemen serving
others, enjoying friendship and relationships, and supporting his
passions.amateur radio, flying and most importantly his love of God and all
the great things on this Earth.
Those that knew Keith considered him a Texan through and through. But truth
be told, he was born and raised in Dodge City, Kansas. After college, he
left Kansas and settled permanently in the Fort Worth, Texas area where
picked up that Texas accent and welcomed us into his world. And it is in
Texas where he passed away on May 24, 2019.
Active with AMSAT and Amateur Radio satellites since the 1980's, Keith
jump-started his passion for amateur radio on human spaceflight missions in
1991, when the Space Station Mir was in orbit and Soviet ham radio operators
were talking to the world-wide amateur radio community. Keith helped
install a Soviet Space Exhibit in Fort Worth in 1991 and he hosted Musa
Manarov U2MIR's visit to the USA. Ultimately, Keith joined the ARISS team
in 2004, where he has provided support as one of our operations leaders,
technical mentoring numerous schools and ARISS contact organizations and
providing his warm friendship and guidance to all in our team. Keith also
attended several of our ARISS International meetings, including our 2008
ARISS-I meeting in Moscow and Kaluga.
Many of us were aware of Keith's cancer. But, Keith being Keith, he kept
most of his pain and suffering to himself. He remained joyful and humble
until his death. In fact, just a few days before his death--this past
Tuesday, Keith signed into the ARISS International teleconference,
apologizing that he came in late. None of us knew this would be our last
dialog with such a close friend and outstanding member of our team.
As I stated, one of Keith's passions was flying as a private pilot. In fact
for one of his vacations he flew a Cessna aircraft around Australia. As a
fellow pilot, I know that Keith must have been an avid fan of the poem "High
Flight" written by John Gillespie Magee Jr. Paraphrasing this poem:
While we mourn the loss of our good friend, Keith Pugh, let us joyfully
reflect on the fact that Keith has
Slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Topped the windswept heights with easy grace
And, while with silent lifting mind, Keith has trod
The high unsurpassed sanctity of Space,
Put out his hand and touched the face of God.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Keith Pugh, W5IU SK as he touches the face
of God.

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

What a shock. I thought Keith would live forever based on his AMSAT
activities. I never knew Keith when I lived in Ft. Worth. I first met that
Gentleman later through our AMSAT membership. He was a real asset to the
program. I lost track of him and others these last few years due to health
issues here. I had to give up my satellite activities and give away my
antennas and rotor to another soon to be satellite operator. Keith will be
greatly missed. I wish we could have chatted more.

Selling my Eggbeater II?s. Had the setup in my backyard for a month or so.
Selling it so I can buy a rotator for my arrow II. On the 70cm antenna one
of the radials bent at the screw and it snapped but the screw is holding it
and the thread that goes in the base. You can leave it that way or make a
new radial and thread it.
Selling for $300 plus shipping, US buyer desired.

Hey all...I noticed on my tracking app this morning that AO-7 was making a
40? pass, so I figured I'd give it a try...I set up my radio with the
frequencies...And, lo-and-behold, I was hearing my downlinked
signals...Right where it was supposed to be...I first sent some CW...Then
went to voice...I did hear a station call, but it was near los..So I don't
copy them...Last time I sent any signals through ao-7 was over 40 years
ago...I made over 600 contacts through AO-7 &?AO-8...I had an old KLM
MULTI-2000, put out about 10 watts...I used home-made 10m, 2m, & 70 cm
turnstiles...I had a 70cm down converter, with preamps for all three...I
currently have a TS-2000x...My antenna is a 2m eggbeater....I'm using an mfj
duplexer, for both uplink & downlink...It works well on both the analog and
fm birds...I plan on getting a 70cm eggbeater soon...But it seems to be
working fine with the single antenna...

On this site:
http://data.amsat-uk.org/ranking
I notice my frame count is way too low during a pass for JY1.
Currently I'm at 33 on this pass in the software, but the site is only
showing a frame count of 7
It looks like it is consistently running about 1/4 of what it should be?
It has been like this for many weeks. The other birds, AO-73 and EO-88 are
populating this site normally...and yes...I have checked where the upload
is going...or the count wouldn't be incrementing at all, I would think.

I have the Heil Pro Jr boom headset.
The hinge on the headset broke and sent it to Heil, expecting an expensive
repair.
No RMA required, just send it to Us.
A couple of weeks passed, opened the box, finding a brand new Headset, for
$35.00

Heil have been very responsive, and fair, to my service requests. ALl have
been caused by me or someone I loaned the equipment to. I've had a number of
their boom sets, Pro Elite & whatever the one for the 706 is called plus a
PR40 and a Gold Elite hand mic. I also have a couple of military boom sets
that I have kludged their HC-4 mic element into. Those are what I loan out
now, basically "sailor proof".

Hi,
Just been discussing this on the FUNcube Team meeting this evening, we have
the logs of uploads and can back fill the counts and
change the processing to handle image only packets.
It's been added to the list of 18 outstanding jobs to be done on the
warehouse. Good thing I retired this week :-)

Hello,
My site ID for Funcube satellites is my old callsign, AG7NC, however, an
alias was installed so that it now shows up as K7IW for FUNcube-1 and
Nayif-1, but my contributions for JY1Sat still appear as AG7NC. I looked
through my settings and noticed that the upload URL for JY1Sat is different
set to http://data.amsat-uk.org, but the other two are using
http://data.funcube.org.uk. Is this correct? Or is there something else
that's not set right?

I'm curious about how successful people have been with EggBeaters. I
have the pair hooked to my new IC-9700. So far the few signals I hear
are very weak. Both fed through separate 25' lines? of LMR400. Has
anyone had to tune them? Mine have resonant frequencies that are far off
(E-B144 = 155Mhz. EB-430 = 432Mhz). I bought these back in the 90's and
was able to work many of the then current birds using an Icom IC-820H.
Thanks for any insights.

Hi Steve,
I don't have my arissops schedule in from of me at the moment, but I assume
you are mentoring the Canada contacts for next week. If so, are either of
the two planning to provide live streaming and if so, can you provide the
URLs for them so I can post them at our FB and Twitter accounts?
