  QSO Today Expo to Include Speaker Track on Amateur Radio Satellites

  The QSO Today Virtual Ham Expo on March 13 - 14 will devote a speaker
  track to AMSAT and the world of amateur radio satellites.

  The expo is in "full planning mode" and promises "many exciting new
  things" for the upcoming event, which will include a world-class lineup
  of more than 60 speakers and workshops for beginners to experts.
  Presenters at nine AMSAT sessions will discuss the broad spectrum of
  ham radio satellites, including:
    * Introduction to Amateur Radio Satellites (Douglas Quagliana,
      KA2UPW)
    * Getting on the Air with Satellites (Clint Bradford, K6LCS)
    * How to Enjoy Amateur Radio Contacts with the International Space
      Station (Frank Bauer, KA3HDO)
    * Implementation of LDPC Encoder on FPGA (Anshul Makkar)
    * Debris Mitigation in Earth's Orbit (Anshul Makkar)
    * Digital Multiplexing Transponder from the Open Research Institute
      (Michelle Thompson, W5NYV)
    * Solving the ITAR and EAR Problem for the Amateur Radio Satellite
      Service (Michelle Thompson, W5NYV)
    * Remote Labs for P4XT Engineering Development (Paul Williamson,
      KB5MU)

  Thompson, an AMSAT Board Member, said working satellites is one of the
  most rewarding privileges of holding an amateur radio license.

  "There has never been a better time to be involved in amateur radio
  satellites, since some long-standing regulatory burdens have been
  lifted and advanced technology has never been more affordable and
  accessible," Thompson remarked. "We have opportunities now that were
  not available as of even a few years ago. AMSAT is fortunate to
  contribute to the expo by showcasing the truly amazing work going on
  around the world in the amateur satellite scene. And the Expo is an
  ideal partner to show it off to the wider ham audience."

  AMSAT will have a booth at the expo, where attendees can talk to
  experts, enthusiasts, operators, and technicians and obtain contact and
  membership information for the 30 AMSAT societies around the world.

  Early-bird tickets are $10 (to help cover the cost of this event) and
  $12.50 "at the door." That includes entry for the live, 2-day event as
  well as access during the 30-day on-demand period following the event.
  Register on the QSO Today Virtual Ham Expo website.

  Ham Radio's SuitSat Returns in Short Horror Film

  SuitSat makes an appearance in a new video short sci-fi thriller,
  called Decommissioned. "Inspired by true events," the video short
  resurrects the 2006 spacesuit/satellite that transmitted messages on 2
  meters as it circled Earth. The original SuitSat-1 project, conceived
  by an Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) team,
  repurposed a decommissioned Russian Orlan spacesuit to function as a
  free-floating amateur radio transmit-only satellite.

  "ARISS designed and built an antenna and radio gear that got approved
  for installation into the suit, and cosmonaut Valeri Tokarev and
  Commander Bill McArthur, KC5ACR, put SuitSat-1 into orbit at the start
  of a spacewalk," ARISS-US Delegate for ARRL Rosalie White, K1STO,
  recounted. SuitSat-1 transmitted a voice message, "This is SuitSat-1
  RS0RS!" in several languages, plus telemetry and a slow-scan TV image
  on an 8-minute cycle as it orbited Earth.

  In the 6-minute film, a SuitSat returns in the future to haunt
  International Space Station Commander Diaz, played by Joey Vieira. Diaz
  is seen taking photos from inside an observation dome on the ISS when
  he spies some distant space debris and radios Houston to express
  concern.

  "If there was any cause for alarm, you know we'd see it too," Houston
  assures him.

  As the object closes in, an increasingly anxious Diaz recognizes the
  "debris" as SuitSat. "This is SuitSat," comes a voice on the ham radio.

  "Houston, you're not gonna believe this. We're picking up transmissions
  on the ham radio that sound identical to the SuitSat experiment," he
  tells a skeptical mission control. "It's SuitSat! I'm seeing SuitSat!"

  "SuitSat re-entered the atmosphere and burned up years ago," mission
  control responds. "It's impossible."

  Decommissioned was produced by Perception Pictures and directed by
  Australian filmmaker Josh Tanner. He told Gizmodo that he

  The real SuitSat in 2006.
  [NASA, photo]

  produced the video "using the Unreal Engine technology that The
  Mandalorian used, albeit old-school rear projection, as opposed to the
  fancy LED wall tech they used."

  A short video shows how Decommissioned was made.

  SuitSat-1 -- called Radioskaf or Radio Sputnik in Russian -- was so
  successful that another unneeded Orlan spacesuit was subsequently
  refitted as SuitSat-2.

  As an interesting sidebar with respect to the real SuitSat, White
  explained, "After the ARISS engineers calculated SuitSat-1's orbit and
  spin characteristics, they knew the legs and arms would have to be
  filled with something, so they asked the crew to stuff dirty laundry
  inside."

  The original SuitSats were deorbited to burn up in Earth's atmosphere
  after their useful lives ended.

  ARRL is a partner in the ARISS program, which has kept amateur radio on
  the air from the International Space Station for 20 years. A hallmark
  of the ARISS program is the scheduled ham radio contacts between ISS
  crew members and earthbound schools and student groups.

  President Biden Taps Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel as Acting FCC
  Chair

  This week, President Joseph Biden designated FCC Commissioner Jessica
  Rosenworcel as acting chair of the FCC. She succeeds, at least
  temporarily, former FCC chair Ajit Pai, who resigned effective on
  January 20.

  "I am honored to be designated as the Acting Chairwoman of the Federal
  Communications Commission by President Biden," Rosenworcel said in a
  statement. "I thank the President for the opportunity to lead an agency
  with such a vital mission and talented staff. It is a privilege to
  serve the American people and work on their behalf to expand the reach
  of communications opportunity in the digital age."

  Prior to joining the FCC, she served as Senior Communications Counsel
  for the United States Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and
  Transportation. Before entering public service, she practiced
  communications law in Washington, DC.

  The newest FCC commissioner, Nathan Simington, a Republican appointee,
  said Rosenworcel "brings deep knowledge and experience and highly
  informed judgment to her new position." He expressed appreciation that
  the Biden ministration acted promptly to establish FCC leadership by
  "selecting such a distinguished public servant for this vital role."

  Fellow Democrat Geoffrey Starks said Rosenworcel "has been a passionate
  advocate for bringing the benefits of broadband to all Americans --
  particularly our children." He said her designation as acting chair
  "comes at a critical juncture for the Commission, as COVID-19 has made
  bold action to end internet inequality more vital than ever."

  The Commission's other Democratic appointee, Brendan Carr, called
  Rosenworcel "a talented and dedicated public servant, as evidenced by
  her 8 years of distinguished service on the FCC."

  Rosenworcel has also been appointed as Defense Commissioner. Among
  other duties and responsibilities, the Defense Commissioner represents
  the FCC in interagency matters pertaining to public safety, homeland
  security, national security, emergency preparedness, disaster
  management, and defense and related matters, including those pertaining
  to continuity of essential FCC functions under emergency conditions.

  CHESS CubeSat Constellation to Carry FUNcube Transponders

  In 2020, a project between AMSAT-UK, AMSAT-NL, and Swiss universities
  got under way with the aim of equipping two Swiss satellites with
  linear amateur radio transponders. Linear transponders permit several
  CW or SSB contacts to take place simultaneously within a prescribed
  passband. The satellites also include features for classroom
  demonstrations and experiments.

  The CHESS (Constellation of High Energy Swiss Satellites) project
  includes two satellites, which will be built simultaneously and later
  launched as a constellation.

  "The main science objective is to improve the understanding of the
  upper atmosphere by in-situ measurements...taking advantage of a
  constellation of identical nanosatellites to study the composition of
  the terrestrial atmosphere and its density," the CHESS website
  explains. The first satellite will have a nearly circular orbit at an
  altitude of 400 kilometers. The second will have an elliptical orbit
  with an altitude of 350 * 1,000 kilometers.

  The amateur radio payload is a joint project of AMSAT-UK and AMSAT-NL.
  A successful review of system requirements was completed in December.
  Launch will not take place until the fourth quarter of 2022. The

  de Lausanne (EPFL), with support from several other schools. -- Thanks

  Maxim Memorial Station W1AW Tour: Joe Carcia, NJ1Q, W1AW Station
  Manager

  Maxim Memorial Station W1AW, located in Newington, Connecticut, was
  established to honor the memory of ARRL's co-founder and first
  president, Hiram Percy Maxim. Although the first radio station of the
  ARRL was actually located in Hartford, Connecticut and active as W1MK,
  W1AW in Newington is known worldwide and considered the radio station
  most associated with Hiram Percy Maxim. Formally established in 1938 -
  nearly 2 years after the death of Hiram Percy Maxim - W1AW has
  consistently been on the air, save for the time when the station was
  ordered off the air by the FCC due to World War II. This guided tour
  will provide an inside look at W1AW and will be led by Station Manager
  Joe Carcia, NJ1Q.

  YOTA Month a Success in the Americas and Around the World

  December YOTA Month 2020 was a great success in the Americas.
  Youth-operated amateur radio stations, operating under the Youth on the
  Air (YOTA) banner in the Western Hemisphere, contributed more than
  14,600 contacts to the annual worldwide event, which celebrates youth
  in amateur radio. Two dozen operators under the age of 26 used special
  event call signs to promote youth in amateur radio in the Americas.

  During December YOTA Month in the US, four 1 * 1 special event call
  signs -- K8Y, K8O, K8T, and K8A -- were on the air, rotating among
  participating operators. This marks an 11.3% increase in contacts from
  the 2019 total of nearly 12,500. Some operators used the 1 * 1 call
  signs during various operating events.

  "My favorite part of YOTA Month was running five radios at once," said
  Michael Lippert, W3MLJ, a Pennsylvania teenager. "They were all on
  digital modes. Running the big FT8 pileups was very fun, and to see the
  rate of the contacts being logged was really cool." Fifth-grader Calin
  Rismiller, K8MTJ, commented, "In general, I liked making a bunch of
  QSOs in a short period of time. In particular, I had a really nice
  conversation with Erich, KC9CUK, on 40 meters. I also got a kick out of
  working ZR1ADI in South Africa, on 20-meter FT8."

  "Using lessons from YOTA Month 2019 made organizing more streamlined
  and flexible for our operators this year," said Bryant Rascoll, KG5HVO,
  who coordinated the efforts of the 24 operators and their logs. As part
  of his responsibilities, he also managed Logbook of The World (LoTW)
  accounts for US stations, the QRZ.com profiles for all the call signs,
  maintained an operator schedule, worked with YOTA Month Manager Tomi
  Varro, HA8RT, and reported to the YOTA camp committee in the Americas.

  December YOTA Month served as a prelude for the first-ever youth ham
  camp hosted in the Western Hemisphere. The event is tentatively
  scheduled for July 11 - 16, 2021.

  Globally, more than 137,000 YOTA Month contacts were logged under the
  46 call signs that hams younger than 26 put on the air. That surpassed
  last year's record number of 129,029. The US placed second, behind
  Croatia, in the total number of contacts made during the event. More
  than 2,100 operators of all ages received awards based on the number of
  YOTA contacts made.

  Unclaimed awards can be downloaded. ditional statistics are also
  available. All YOTA Month QSL cards should be requested via OQRS on the
  Club Log website (registration required). More information about YOTA
  in the Americas can be found on the Youth on the Air website.

  The K7RA Solar Update

  Tad Cook, K7RA, Seattle, reports: Solar activity increased this week.
  We saw no spotless days, and the average daily sunspot number rose from
  14.7 to 28.1. Average daily solar flux was up from 76.1 to 77.2.

  Average daily planetary A index rose from 4 to 9.4, due to a minor
  geomagnetic storm on Monday. On that day, Alaska's High Latitude
  College A index was 33.

  Predicted solar flux for the next 30 days is 76 on January 28 - 29; 74
  on January 30 - February 1; 72, 70, and 73 on February 2 - 4; 76 on
  February 5 - 10; 77 on February 11 - 20; 76 on February 21 - 24, 75 on
  February 25 - 26.

  February 1 - 3; 5 on February 4 - 6; 10 on February 7 - 8; 5 on
  February 9 - 19; 8, 12 and, 12 on February 20 - 22, and 5 on February
  23 - 26.

  Sunspot numbers for January 21 - 27 were 26, 39, 34, 23, 26, 23, and
  26, with a mean of 28.1. The 10.7-centimeter flux was 77.6, 78.2, 77.9,
  77.6, 77.1, 75.7, and 76.3, with a mean of 77.2. Estimated planetary A
  indices were 3, 4, 5, 5, 17, 21, and 11, with a mean of 9.4. Middle
  latitude A index was 2, 3, 3, 4, 14, 9, and 9, with a mean of 6.3.
