SpaceNews

MONDAY DECEMBER 27, 1993
SpaceNews originates at KD2BD in Wall Township, New Jersey, USA. It is
published every week and is made available for unlimited distribution.
* AO-21 GOES MULTIMEDIA *
=========================
As reported last week in SpaceNews, the RUDAK group of AMSAT-DL achieved
another milestone with the development of more sophisticated software for
the OSCAR-21/RUDAK satellite.
Although some key members are already very busy with P3D activities, much
time has been invested to implement new attractive modes on AO21.
Besides the Voice Broadcast which was successfully used throughout the last
year with several greeting messages in different languages, RUDAK is now
capable of transmitting picture files in WEFAX compatible format.
Unfortunately there is no camera onboard AO-21, so the pictures have to be
uploaded first by the AO-21 command station.
Not only is RUDAK now capable of transmitting FAX pictures, the pictures
themselves are uploaded and stored in JPEG format! They are also converted
from JPEG to WEFAX format online by the RTX-2000 RISC processor during
transmission, so not much memory is needed to hold the images.
JPEG compression gives an enormous reduction in file size compared to GIF
picture format, without much loss in quality. This saves a lot of space in
the 1MB RAMDISK and will also speed-up the upload time drastically.
RUDAK is also capable of holding several picture and voice broadcast files
in the RAMDISK at the same time. They can be transmitted on a schedule
mixed with FM-Mode and 1200 baud AX.25 Telemetry.
The "Multimedia" satellite premiere will be activated for the first time on
December 24 and some special season greeting in voice and picture will be
transmitted.
Stay tuned on AMSAT OSCAR-21 and be prepared for some surprises!
The RUDAK downlink center frequency is 145.987 MHz. The uplink for FM-Mode
is 435.014 MHz. The WEFAX format is like METEOSAT WEFAX Specification
(MGCS): FM, 2400 Hz Subcarrier frequency with double sideband AM modulation,
300 Hz start signal for 3 seconds, 450 Hz stop signal for 5 seconds,
800 x 800 Pixel Image format with 256 grey levels, 4 Lines/sec.

* SANTA GETS CLEARANCE *
========================
To all our friends who have participated in SAREX operations this past year:
The Kennedy Space Center has given clearance for Santa to land on the
Shuttle landing strip. The folks in Mission Control have given their go
ahead for deorbit burn and landing operations. Engineering has declared all
systems operating properly and the range safety officer has cleared the
landing area of all interfering craft. We are ready for final Christmas
operations.
We trust that our friends in the north have taken good care of Santa's
Reindeer during this past year and all systems are go.
We here at the Johnson Space Center and the SAREX team send our Seasons
Greetings and Wishes for a Happy New Year.

* 2 METER AMSAT NET *
=====================
All interested are invited to check in to the WA2SNQ repeater satellite net,
on the 147.075 MHz repeater in Dix Hills, Long Island. Beginners are
welcome, as are old hands. We are especially looking for PACSAT users.
There will soon be a Oscar 13 gateway in operation during good AO13 passes
during net time. Please stop in and say hello Tuesday nites at 7 PM.

* CELESTIAL BBS NUMBER CHANGE *
===============================
The telephone number of the Celestial land-line BBS system will change
effective 6 January 1994 from 513/427-0674 to 513/253-9767.
[Info via WX8X]
* NEW AMSAT LAND-LINE BBS *
===========================
Dave, KB9BNR has added a land line port to his packet radio BBS (QCBBS),
a F6FBB packet BBS with three RF ports supporting RF data rates from 1200
to 9600 baud.
The BBS has a very nice satellite section containing realtime satellite
tracking facilities as well as text files on each Amateur satellite. There
are also back issues of SpaceNews and ANS bulletins available, and Dave
hopes to add a bigger hard disk soon and include much more information.
There are also lots of other Ham Radio files on the system, such as radio
mods, SWL frequency lists, and much more.
On your first connect to the system you will have read only status. You
can send Dave a message if you would like full access to the system.
Simply provide your name and callsign and select a password for your login
and pass it along to Dave. The next time you connect, you will have full
access to the system.
The telephone number is 309-797-3827. The BBS supports baud rates from
300 to 9600 baud, with 8N1 data format and is available 24 hours a day.
[Info via Dave, KB9BNR]
* FO-20 OPERATION SCHEDULE *
============================
The following is the FO-20 operation schedule for December 1993 through
February 1994. During this period, the analog and digital transponder modes
will on alternately for a week as they were in December.
ANALOG MODE:
15-Dec-93 7:41 -to- 22-Dec-93 8:05 UTC
29-Dec-93 8:30 -to- 05-Jan-94 8:50 UTC

Indeed they are, and on a continuing basis. There's a strong ham contingent in
the astronaut corps, and they think SAREX is good stuff - which is the best
insurance we can get.
The next SAREX mission is the next shuttle mission, STS-60. Charlie Bolden,
the commander, has passed his Tech test, and is expected to get his ticket in
before the launch, and Sergei Krikalyev, U5MIR, will also be on this one. The
launch is currently scheduled for late January, but may slip some more.

Still, the ARRL seemingly must have the consolidated data in machine
readable form prior to creating the printed version. If they were
able to obtain whatever copyright is required to publish the printed
version, might they not also obtain permission to create and sell a
machine readable (MR) version? Production costs for a MR version ought
to be less than those for the printed version, I would think. If they
could sell an MR version for anything near the very reasonable cost of
the printed version, it should be very popular. --Bill, NG3K

Note that some of the channels have different frequencies for ship and
shore communication: I assume for full duplex. I forget which channels are
set up that way, but there are only a half dozen of them.

Oddly enough, there are only two band segments in all of amateur spectrum
that are A1 only, and both are open to code test free amateur licensees.
(50.0-50.1 and 144.0-144.1) But then the EME boys only need to know how
to send 'O' and 'M' real slow.

Well the amateur service requires that operators know enough regulations
and radio theory to adjust their transmitters so that they operate legally.
Amateurs are unique in being given blanket authority to make internal
adjustments to their transmitters. The FCC wants assurance that they
have an inkling of what they are doing. Thus the written exams on theory
and regulations. In point of fact, there's no reason whatsoever for
the Advanced or Extra class to exist. They serve no useful purpose since
Generals and Techs need the same knowledge. Manual Morse exams are totally
redundant since those who do Morse, by definition, have to know Morse,
and it doesn't matter if those who don't do Morse know it or not. It's
just one of many amateur operating modes. For those who must have an
external validation of their self worth, W1AW has Morse runs that can
get you a piece of wallpaper.
Returning to the origins of this thread, I think one of the problems
faced by youngsters entering the service is that too many of the older
amateurs are so insecure that they need this external validation of
their self worth, and that they try to force their forms and rituals on
the young people who just want to explore and expand their knowledge of
radio to satisfy their own internal curiosity. This often kills the
interest and excitment with which the youngster approached the service.

Ahhh. But Purdue itself has *always* been geek heaven!
When I was there (mid- to late-60s), my dorm, Cary Quadrangle,
had its own Ham station, W9CLY. Even though I had no license
('furriner in days when you need citizenship to get a license),
they gave me a key to the shack anyway, so I could do SWL'ing on
the trusty old Drake 2B. Spent many a cold Indiana night in
that shack, I did.
Cary Quad also boasted of the nation's first carrier current
radio station, WCCR.
Go Boilermakers.
