[amsat-bb] VUCC Satellite #217

Hi all, After 159 days since submitting the paperwork and couple follow up e-mails, I finally received my VUCC Satellite award. For some reason, I keep thinking I should've received some paperwork with the certificate and stickers. I thought they were suppose to have a copy of the grids alrea

I'm trying to close out all the EM grids on satellite, and still need EM03, EM33, EM46, EM49, and EM19 confirmed. I'd love to make a schedule for any of these grids, either FM or SSB. I can make most any pass with some notice and a little luck. I have my confirmed satellite grids map on my QRZ

Tony, Thanks for giving this some credence. Although AMSAT is a supporter of ARISS, We are NOT ARISS. There are members of our group that assist with decisions and actually supply some of the required gear. ARISS must stand for an educational aspect working along with the Astronauts. Yes, the

Well, it didn't take Amsat officials long to shoot down the proposal and tell me that ARISS does not stand for amateur radio use on ISS. ARISS is a free use of ham radio for PR under the guise of educational outreach. Probably payback for cancelling my membership after 25-years and resigning
