RadFxSat is one of four CubeSats making up the NASA ELaNa XIV mission, riding as secondary payloads aboard the Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS)-1 mission. JPSS-1 will launch on a Delta II from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California. RadFxSat is a partnership with Vanderbilt University ISDE and hosts four payloads for the study of radiation effects on commercial off the shelf components. RadFxSat features the Fox-1 style FM U/v repeater with an uplink on 435.250 MHz (67.0 Hz CTCSS) and a downlink on 145.960 MHz. Satellite and experiment telemetry will be downlinked via the ?DUV? subaudible telemetry stream and can be decoded with the FoxTelem software (https://www.amsat.org/foxtelem-software-for-windows-mac-linux/). LAUNCH AND EARLY ORBIT PHASE (LEOP) RadFxSat will launch at 01:47 PST (09:47 UTC) on November 10, 2017 from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California. At this time, pre-launch Keplerian elements are not expected to be available. However, based on the Local Time of the Ascending Node (LTAN) of the primary payload, 13:30, stations should expect to have their initial ascending passes starting around noon local time. The estimated time of ?First Veronica,? the initial beacon after deployment, is 12:07 UTC. Due to the tight constraints on the primary payload deployment, the secondary payloads may be delayed slightly, so this should be considered the soonest the transmitter will be enabled. Orbital elements will be published as soon as they are available on the AMSAT website. Stations in Europe, South America, and North America should point your beams south and have FoxTelem running while awaiting the initial post-launch Keplerian elements. Participation in telemetry collection by as many stations in as many parts of the world as possible is essential as AMSAT Engineering looks for successful startup and indications of the general health and function of the satellite as it begins to acclimate to space. If you are capturing telemetry with FoxTelem please be sure that "Upload to Server" is checked in your settings, and that your ?Ground Station Params? are filled in as well. You can help AMSAT and everyone waiting to get on the air with RadFxSat tremendously by capturing RadFxSat telemetry. About 60 minutes after deployment, or 140 minutes after launch, the satellite will start up in Beacon Mode. In this initial mode, the transmitter is limited to 10 seconds on time and then will be off for two minutes. For those of you capturing telemetry, that means that you will only see Current frames and no High or Low frames. The High and Low frames are truncated as it takes just over the 10 second limit to send two frames. Veronica may also be cut off before she gets to say her whole ID string as the full ID, ?RadFxSat Fox-1B Safe Mode,? is a bit longer than the approximately 3.5 seconds she has in Beacon Mode. If the voice ID is cut off, the satellite is still in Beacon Mode. If AMSAT Engineering is seeing nominal values from the telemetry you gather, the satellite will be commanded from Beacon Mode to Safe Mode on the first good pass over the United States. In Safe Mode, the satellite transmits a full two frames of telemetry (one Current frame followed by, and alternating each ID cycle, a High or a Low frame). Veronica now has time to make the whole ID announcement in Safe Mode. The on-orbit checkout procedure for RadFxSat is similar to Fox-1A/AO-85 and could be completed in as little as a few days if users cooperate. It is very important, and good amateur operating practice, to refrain from using the transponder uplink so the on-orbit tests can be performed, including when the satellite is switched into Transponder Mode for testing. AMSAT will make it broadly known when the tests are complete and the transponder is available for all to use. If you hear someone on the transponder, please do not assume that it is open for general use - check AMSAT?s website, Facebook, and Twitter before transmitting to be sure you do not interfere with testing. AMSAT asks all satellite operators to contribute just a little bit of your time by gathering telemetry, not using the transponder uplink, to help complete the last few days of getting RadFxSat operating for the amateur radio community. Lots of hams put thousands of volunteer hours of their time into making RadFxSat happen. Just like any ham radio project you might undertake, AMSAT builds satellites. AMSAT volunteers do it because they like to, and when they are done, AMSAT freely shares their project with hams everywhere as is the spirit of amateur radio. Thank you very much and see you on the bird!

Message-ID: One week from Friday ( December 8th ) is the start of the Tampa Bay Ham Fest at the Expo Hall of the Strawberry Festival Grounds in Plant City. As in the past LARC will have a table to answer questions about our club and ham radio in general. The event is open from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM on Friday and from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM on Saturday. We are looking for volunteers to be at our table for an hour or so at a time. If you are attending this event could you please email me to let me know what time ( or times ) you would be willing to be at the LARC table. As always I appreciate your help. Without our volunteers we would not be able to carry out our mission of community and club service throughout the year! Please respond here or email me at km4bao at yahoo.com Thank you in advance. 73 Bob Doherty KM4BAO Vice President L.A.R.C. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

If you want full details and history about it, visit the links below, but basically it's all about recognizing SKYWARN members. As part of the event, hams are invited to visit their local National Weather Service Office and operate on-the-air in a contest style, contacting other NWS offices across the country. Our local office in Ruskin will be open for visiting hams from 7-10pm on Friday and 9am-5pm Saturday. There will also be two special nets on the NI4CE system, at 8pm Friday, and also at 10am Saturday. Even if you can't make it to over Ruskin, be sure to take a minute and make a contact on the repeater if you have the time! Also, keep an ear out on HF for any of the NWS offices--there's likely to be quite a few on, including Ruskin!
