Greetings,

A reminder, we will have a club meeting this Wednesday at 7:00 PM

Last meeting we were presented with an opportunity to relocate the Athol
repeater to the top of Mt Wachusett.
We will discuss this some more and vote to move the project forward.

We will also vote to determine where the January Christmas party will be
located.
The club trailer has been used for a couple of contests since last month.
I'm sure Matt, Kevin and Bill will share their experiences.

I think we would have issues with the new Marblehead, MA DMR repeater and
no doubt we will hear from the Torrington, CT repeater folks. We will be
covering well over 60 miles in some directions.

Good thinking.  My only thought is does  this have to be coordinated
with NESMC?  A Wachusetts repeater with only a few watts will get out a
long way.  From my hill in Gardner I hear other repeaters on 145.370.

Decades ago from Wachusetts I had a qso on a 440 repeater 55 miles away
using only a ht with 2W into a rubber duck.  And I was full quieting.

the last class.  Please extend a warm welcome when you hear them on the
repeaters.  Congratulations all.

Subject: [MohawkARC] Direct conversation with astronauts onboard the ISS
Message-ID: <CAM9ZaMVmdYUdLTkT=vWtkf0m7nOu49pDWpbKZxuMk=yr--igYA@mail.gmail.com>

Two Meter VHF Voice mode

A Common mode is direct conversation with the astronauts onboard the ISS.
Occasionally during their free time, they will appear on the VHF radio.
While over North America, they receive on 144.490 Mhz (the uplink
frequency) and transmit on 145.800 Mhz (the downlink frequency). You will
need to adjust your radio to transmit with a minus 1.31 Mhz offset. (See
the manual for your radio for details.) For future use, its a good idea to
store the transmit/receive pair in a memory channel in your radio.

   - Freq=145.80 Mhz, Offset = -1.31 Mhz.

In order to gain maximum advantage in the contact, it is advantageous to
compensate for the effects of doppler shifting in the transmit and received
frequencies. As the space station approaches you, the frequencies will
appear to increase due to the oncoming motion. It is like the increase in
pitch of a car horn as it approach you. Similarly, the frequency appears to
drop after the space station passes overhead and heads to the horizon.
Programming additional memory with the different frequencies for doppler
compensation here are the memory channels.

As the ISS approaches, use Memory 1. As it goes higher than forty five
degrees high, use Memory 2 until it goes overhead and below forty five
degrees. Then, switch to Memory 3.
