Spacewalking astronauts release mini-satellite


CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Spacewalking astronauts released a ham radio satellite outside the International Space Station on Wednesday despite a missing antenna that will hamper operations.

Russian Sergei Volkov let go of the boxy 57-pound satellite with his gloved hands, a few hours after Mission Control put the operation on hold. But he and his spacewalking partner, Alexander Samokutyaev, ran out of time before they could accomplish the major task: moving a Russian cargo crane from one part of the space station to another.

Soon after the 6 1/2-hour spacewalk began, the astronauts and flight controllers realized one of two antennas had somehow broken off the satellite. Experts on the ground have no idea how it may have broken or when, said NASA spacewalk commentator Josh Byerly.

After debating for three hours what to do, Mission Control instructed Volkov to release the satellite. Samokutyaev photographed the object as it left the space station at a rate of just over 3 feet per second.

The transmitting capability will not be affected by the loss of one antenna, but the receiving of signals from the ground will be degraded, Byerly said. The satellite is designed to operate for a couple of months, and will re-enter the atmosphere and burn up in about nine months.

The mini-satellite is a prototype for a series of educational satellites under development by Radio Amateur Satellite Corp., NASA and a Russian aerospace company.

It holds radio messages marking this year's 50th anniversary of the launch of the first spaceman, Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin. It also has a beacon for tracking Morse code and cameras for transmitting Earth views, as well as a student experiment to measure atmospheric pressure.

A Russian cargo ship launched the satellite to the 240-mile-high outpost in January.

Volkov and Samokutyaev also installed an experimental laser-based transmitting system, about the size of a barbecue pit, and retrieved an old space station antenna. A bacteria and fungus experiment was attached to the station outside.

The transfer of the cargo crane - a three-hour task - was moved to a future spacewalk; the next one isn't until February.

Before going back inside, the spacewalkers photographed portraits of three Soviet space program heroes that have adorned the inside of the space station since the very beginning: Gagarin, chief spacecraft designer Sergei Korolyov and rocketry pioneer Konstantin Tsiolkovsky. They took the portraits out into the vacuum of space as a symbolic gesture, and took numerous shots, waiting to get as much of Earth in the background as possible.

"Last picture," Mission Control ordered. "Done," came the reply.

Six men currently live aboard the space station: three Russians, two Americans and one Japanese.

Message-ID: <4E3F0DE0.6090508@bdboyle.com>

RVRC Social Net is on at 8PM.  News, check-ins, discussion, perhaps
Marshall will be by with the latest in Wx information, thoughts about
the geomag storm that's kept the bands quiet this weekend...and whatever
else comes up.  Some news from Amateur Radio News, ARRL, QRZ, etc.
Trying to keep it interesting.

To participate in the video and chatroom, it's probably easier if you go
to the mashup page

http://www.wb0yle.com/netplay.htm

and choose the low res page (the high res has two separate feeds...).

Note that there is the chat room at the bottom.  If you type something
in the box and aren't logged in, you will be presented with a login
screen.  Use you USTREAM login (not the rvrc login, not your email
login, but your USTREAM login to access the chat room.  RVRC does not
control this login, so, if you don't have one, you'll have to register
at www.ustream.tv for a userid and password.

As a gentle reminder...please listen for the net to be handed over to
you if you want to speak.  Couple times in the last couple nets, people
have just started speaking over previous transmissions.  While this is
not a directed net, a little courtesy goes a long way.

Also...if you are coming in via Echo or Allstar, please leave a bit of a
gap between receiving the net and starting your transmission.  Since the
net is built on VoIP and digital signal techniques...all the encoding
and decoding does take a couple seconds, as well as all the signals
getting to the right place, before everything is copacetic.

See you all at 8!  Have something to say.  Participate.  It's your net!

All,

My friend and co-worker sent me a copy of the "Nannygoats" newsletter
published by the Metuchen-Edison Historical Society.  In this issue (Summer
2011), there is a great multi-page article written by George Muha (N2XM)
that presents a brief history recounting of activities of the Metuchen YMCA
Radio Club - K2YNT.  The story features many pictures and mentions of many
of the club members - including Dr. George Hyde, Charles Smith, Allen
Hughes, and George Russell (W2SJU).  There are others too.  I'm a bit too
young to remember these guys and the others mentioned, but I thought that
many of the club members may remember these guys, the club, and maybe even
recognize some of the un-mentioned people in the photos.

I have the paper copy that Scott sent to me, but was also able to locate an
electronic copy on the Historical Society's website.  Here is a link to the
newsletter.

http://www.metuchen-edisonhistsoc.org/resources/Nannygoat+NL+Summer+2011+All+Pages.pdf

The story of the radio club starts on page 1, and then continues on pages
4-8.

Enjoy, and please pass this along to any non-members of the RVRC mailing

Alan, Thanks for passing the article along. I became a licensed ham in 1977
thanks to classes held at the YMCA and taught by George Russell. Many
members of the Piscataway ARC started at K2YNT before branching off and
starting their own club. I remember the Metuchen Field Days with warm
memories.

Bob Heil called me - excited that they have completed the new studio/station
used for the TWiT Ham Nation show.
While there's not enough time to get it formally listed in the special
events section of the ARRL website, we wanted you to know about this effort.
The Ham Nation show has continued to grow and is pulling in not just hams,
but a wide variety of technical-minded folks.
Here's Bob's information....  please share as you can.

-------

This Week In Technology SPECIAL EVENT STATION Commemorating the official
opening of the TWIT.TV<http://twit.tv/> Studios in Petaluma, Ca.


A special event station will be active on 40 and 20 meters  afternoon and
evenings of August 20 and 21st, 2011  commemorating the official opening of
the new  TWIT studios of  Leo Laporte, W6TWT.  (Tours of the new studios and
classic Collins AM broadcast station will be available 10am - 7pm each day
to all Amateur Radio operators.  The TWIT Brick House studios are located at
140 Keller St. in Petaluma, Ca.)   

The call sign to be used will be W6KB, the Redwood Empire DX Association
whose members have been instrumental in the planning and installation of the
antenna system during the final construction of the new broadcast studios,
home of the HAM Nation netcast which is produced each Tuesday night hosted
by Bob Heil  K9EID, Gordon West WB6NOA and George Thomas, W5JDX.

QSL direct to W6TWT, P O Box 1018 in Petaluma, ca.  94953

It's Back to School Time...for Ham Radio, too!

By Dan Romanchik, KB6NU

As I write this, it's about 85 degrees, and I'm sitting on the patio of a cottage overlooking Elk Lake in northern Michigan. This idyllic spot is about as far away from school as you can get.  And yet, in less than a month, kids will be back in school, and if kids are going to be back in school, why not ham radio operators?

The fall is a good time to begin teaching a new group of Technicians. I favor the "Tech in a Day" or "Ham Cram" type of class. This type of class focuses on teaching students the answers to questions on the test rather than the material itself.

There's a lot of controversy about this, and many decry this method of teaching, but I think the best way to learn about ham radio is by actually doing it, and you can't do if you don't have a license.  Besides, how much more instruction will students actually get in a more traditional eight-week or ten-week course, maybe 16 hours? Will those 16 hours make that much of a difference?

For the sake of argument, let's say that you've decided to offer a one-day Tech class. Now what? Well, the first thing you have to do is to find a place to teach it. Possible sites include your local public library, a township hall, a community college, perhaps even your church.

Now that you have the place, you need to find some students. Your local emergency-management group would be a good place to start. Also, make sure a notice gets published in your amateur radio club's newsletter. Chances are most of the subscribers already have licenses, but they may have friends or relatives who would be interested. Also, make sure the class gets listed in the upcoming events section of local newspapers or magazines.

Once people start signing up, you should suggest that they either purchase a study guide or download my free study guide (www.kb6nu.com/tech-manual). Because I use my study guide when teaching the class, I always advise them to get a copy, but if you'll be using other materials, then your advice may differ.

I counsel the students to read through my study guide a few times and take some online practice tests before coming to class. That will make them familiar with the material, especially areas they may be weak in or have questions about. By bringing those questions to class, we can address those areas in a little more depth, which will, hopefully, give them the help they need to pass the test.

The class itself is six hours long, running from 9am to 3pm, at which time we give them the test. This is not a lot of time for the amount of material I have to cover, so I move along at a pretty brisk pace. I concentrate on giving them the answers, but with enough context to that it all makes sense. 

OK, let's say your class was wildly successful, and you now have a group of newly-minted Techs. What do you do now? 

Well, you might consider offering some short sessions on what ham radio operators do--Ham Radio 101, so to speak. The topics could include how to choose your first radio, the basics of FM repeater and net operation, and building your first antenna (say a 2m ground plane). They'll be more enthusiastic about these classes now that they actually have a license.

It might also be a good idea to schedule a General Class license course for sometime shortly after the Tech class. This will encourage them to upgrade while they are enthusiastic about the hobby. 

I hope that this has encouraged you to offer some ham radio courses of your own. If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me at cwgeek at kb6nu.com or phone me at 734-930-6564. Good luck, and let me know how your classes turn out.

=================================================
When not preparing for his next ham radio class, Dan publishes the "No-Nonsense" study guides for the Technician and General Class license exams. Free versions and print version are available from his website at www.kb6nu.com/tech-manual. E-book versions are available for the Kindle and devices that run the Kindle app on Amazon.Com and for the Nook on BarnesandNoble.Com.

This is just another attempt to capitalize on a trademark. The Heathkit
business model is dead. I don't expect much to come of this startup.

Marty, you do realize that this IS the original Heathkit company?  Not
a startup:

"he Heathkit company still exists as Heathkit Educational Systems and
is now located in Saint Joseph, Michigan, and now concentrates on the
Educational Systems side of the business.

In August of 2011 Heathkit announced on its website that it would be
re-entering the kit business with a line of DIY kits for household
items.[10]"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heathkit

Anyway you look at it, its great news if you ask me!

Its not clear to me yet what kind of radio offerings they will have
but I assume given their legacy and well-known brand across the ham
community, they will offer something!  :-)

Alex, The company was bought and sold a few times. Only the name is left of
the kit business. The engineers and the "we won't let you fail" attitude
are gone. They are asking for suggestions for kits? They will find it hard
to find components with leads anymore. I'll wait for the reviews.
Marty

I spoke with Eric and there is a power outage on the hill with a number of
trees down. The repeater was on battery backup since 3 AM. The battery is
now depleted.

Think of it this way:  When you adjust your collar a certain way, you

I'm sure everyone knows this already but K2ETS is open to us for use
until W2QW is restored.

Please note for a while, there is NO PL tone to get access.

They have a web page here with offsets etc.

Please feel free to utilize the ETS 2 Meter and / or 220 machine. It may
become necessary to utilize the repeater for emergency use.

I spoke with Eric and there is a power outage on the hill with a number of
trees down. The repeater was on battery backup since 3 AM. The battery is
now depleted.
