(1) Preamp question: AMSAT newbie here, just having made my first contacts
with an Icom 9700 and small yagis on tripods on my deck, fixed in place due
to Maine weather. Come Spring, I plan to install the M2 LEO Package on an
existing tower, with a rotor. I'm interested primarily in Mode B, and so
here is my question. Do I really need a mast-mounted preamp with this set
up? I'll be using a 100 foot run of LMR 400, by the way. Right now, with
a 2M 4 element yagi and a 30 foot run of LMR 400, I have no trouble copying
a lot of signals on receive when satellites are in the one yagi's
beamwidth, given the 9700's extraordinary sensitivity and built in preamp.
Would a 2M mast mounted preamp be overkill and an unneeded expense?
(2) Receive tip: For what it's worth (and probably old news to most SAT
ops, so I apologize in advance)?. When using CW on the 70 cm uplink, I've
kept the 9700 on USB while listening on 2M. The SSB filter is almost 2 KHz
wider than the CW filter. This has enabled me to listen to Doppler shifted
CW signals with little or no RX tuning, hear any adjacent QRM and avoid it,
and just have one button to hit when I switch from CW to SSB, transmitting
on 70 cm.
Thanks in advance for feedback about the need for a 2M mast mounted preamp.

Now that the JSON API is running for this, adding another one for pass
predictions would go a long way to making small desktop widgets based on
Circuit Python and the ESP chip possible. Imagine a tiny $30 device that
lets you know when your favorite satellites will be crossing overhead.
Glad folks are exercising the status port. I'll be adding it to one of my
desktop devices soon!

Hello Wes,
The built-in preamp doesn't make any sense unless you connect your
antenna directly at the rig (inches) or have super-expensive zero-loss coax.
As I outlined a few months ago on this list, a fairly inexpensive LNA at
the antenna is the best way to improve your station noise figure.
Once the system noise figure has been set, the coax back to the shack
doesn't really matter too much other than wasting a bit of transmit
power if you use the same coax for TX and RX.
Original message included here:

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.??

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.

I was at the University of Massachusetts Amherst campus with my kid today
for transfer student orientation. I played hooky from the family and
friends tour when I discovered that we did not get to visit anything
interesting like the steam plant, They were supposed to feed us, but I was
busy cutting code. Somebody owes me lunch at the next Symposium.
Use
www.amsat.org/track/api/v1/passes.php?objects<http://www.amsat.org/track/api/v
1/passes.php?objects> to get a list of object name/object number pairs.
Select a name from the list returned from above and use a Maidenhead grid
square to specify the location. This will give you summary info on the
next 10 passes for that location.
