International Space Station Visible Tonight
International Space Station Visible TonightThere will be another pass this evening lasting 5 minutes. The good news is that it will be high in the sky - 56 degrees. You will be able to see it easily without any instruments but If you have binoculars, try them. You will be amazed! Treat your family and friends to a viewing of the International Space Station tonight. I find that even the most non technical family member or friend gets a kick out of seeing the station as it moves across the sky at 17,150 MPH - that's 4.76 miles per second - and about 250 miles above us. If you are an amateur radio operator, take the opportunity to relate how us hams can communicate directly with the ISS or through one of its transponders. The ISS will be visible for 5 minutes and should be a good viewing and becomes visible directly from the West Southwest and disappears toward North Northeast. Time: Wed Mar 17 7:55 PM Visible: 5 min Max Height: 56¡ã Appears: 10¡ã above WSW?(from 248 degrees) Disappears: 24¡ã above NNE?(toward 23 degrees) I've also attached an illustration that will help you determine how to use this information. You can watch and track the station in advance at this link: And, something new! I've attached a chart of the actual pass. Remember, these times are based on a viewing site from the Mesa area (and within 50 miles). If you would like to generate times from your specific city or town, visit the link and follow the instructions. If your specific city or town isn¡¯t listed, pick the closest one. The space station is visible for at least a 50 mile (80 km) radius around each of the listed locations. If you are an amateur radio operator, listen in (or work) on these frequencies: Voice and SSTV Downlink: 145.80 (Worldwide) Voice Uplink: 144.49 for ITU Regions 2 and 3 VHF Packet Uplink and Downlink: 145.825 (Worldwide) - easiest to hear UHF Packet Uplink and Downlink: 437.550 UHF/VHF Repeater Uplink: 437.800 UHF/VHF Repeater Downlink: 145.799 (67Hz PL Tone) Regards, Joe N2QOJ |

Mesa - 2, Queen Creek - 1 RUSS, "Radio Under Sun Shade" - Also Known as "Radio in the Park" - RITP Saturday, March 13th, 10 AM till 2 PM (1000 to 1400) Great weather! Perfect for another Radio in the Park or Radio Under Sun Shade event! You will find below a brief description of the event's objective and activities: *What is it?* *Here's the recipe:* - take several ham radio stations and antenna systems- add portable power - generators, batteries, solar power - add some experienced hams - include an open invitation to new hams, experienced hams, and anyone else - publish a valley wide talk-in frequency of 146.460 MHz (PL of 77 Hz); if operating HF, 7.178 MHz LSB - and replicate this recipe several times over in the Valley at the same time *What is the objective?* -
Engage in as many contacts as possible across the Valley using a VHF
simplex frequency of 146.460 MHz or HF frequency of 7.178 MHz LSB while
operating off grid power, If possible. *What is the result?* - An excellent opportunity to learn about ham radio and ham radio operators. - A great opportunity to learn about the type of equipment available - portable, mobile, base radios, antennas, coax, cables, solar arrays, solar controllers, and more. - A great opportunity to learn about the importance of basic emergency radio principles. -
An opportunity to actually use the radio equipment and speak to local
hams and distant hams hundreds or thousands of miles away -- even if you
are not a ham! It
is a hands-on learning experience that is unequaled. We have had many
of these events over the last 11 years and every one of them has been a
tremendous success. The
hosts of these events have one key objective - to relate the fun,
facts, and usefulness of ham radio while exercising emergency
communications via simplex and off-grid power. *Where and When?
