Big Power, Big Dish Set to be Active for 1296 MHz Moonbounce

/

The Argentine Institute of Radio Astronomy’s 30-meter dish antenna will be active on 1296 MHZ EME until 3rd November 2019 running an effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) of 10 megawatts on SSB, CW, and JT65 (the dish provides 50 dB of gain).

The operation will focus on 1296.1 MHz. Operation schedule: 30th October 2019, 1615 – 2015 UTC; 31st October 2019, 1715 – 2115 UTC; 1st November 2019, 1800 – 2200 UTC; 2nd November 1900 – 2300 UTC, and 3rd November 2019, 1950 – 2350 UTC.

Amateur Radio CubeSats to Launch from Wallops Island

An Antares II launch vehicle will carry 15 CubeSats into orbit on 21st October 2019 as part of NASA Educational Launch of Nanosatellites (ELaNa) Mission 25. Some will carry Amateur Radio payloads.

  • TJ REVERB, developed by students at Thomas Jefferson High School in Alexandria, Virginia, will carry a 145.825 MHz APRS digipeater.

  • HuskySat, a University of Washington – Seattle project, will be boosted into a 500-kilometer (approximately 310-mile) orbit via the Cygnus external deployment device. HuskySat will carry a V/U linear transponder provided in cooperation with AMSAT.
