Goddard Amateur Radio Club (GARC) Landline BBS Operations Begin
The NASA Goddard Amateur Radio Club (GARC), Inc. in Greenbelt, MD has been
working behind the scenes on projects that may benefit all amateur
radio operators in general and perhaps AMSAT members in particular.
Ron Parise (WA4SIR) has been "beta" testing a Bulletin Board System (BBS)
which is accessible via the INTERNET through telnet and ftp (file transfer
protocol), a telephone modem, and packet radio (locally on 145.090 MHz and
non-locally through "packet wormholes"). With Ron's heavy STS-67 crew
training as of late, Jim Blackwell (N3KWU) is picking up much of the work
to complete the "beta" testing phase. The BBS contains keplerian orbital
elements updated daily, AMSAT bulletins, SAREX bulletins, club member mail
service, club announcements, space shuttle mission infor-mation and lots
more.
Access via Internet: wa3nan.gsfc.nasa.gov or 128.183.105.17
via landline: 301-286-4137
via packet: WA3NAN on 145.090 MHz in Washington, DC area
Additionally, the Goddard Amateur Radio Club has a home page for public
viewing on the GARC World Wide Web server. It contains the latest GARC
Newsletter in electronic form, latest space shuttle keps, GARC calendar of
events, details of upcoming club activities, current WA3NAN QSL card, club
facility-repeater-BBS info, a morse code experiment and more.
WWW access URL:
http://macgwy-mac2.gsfc.nasa.gov/garc/wa3nan-home-page.html
The GARC Web server was developed and is maintained by club president Jim
Blackwell (N3KWU) (n3kwu@amsat.org). All radio amateurs are invited to
check out its potential. This medium is the hottest item on the INTERNET
today.

that is 14.181.1 MHz AFSK LSB using the mode Pactor with the callsign WT0N.
The new schedule will be as follows: Monday through Saturday from 16:00 UTC

AMSAT users with improved coverage and the use of a mode that many of the
users have expressed an interest in. If anyone would like to use the Mode

the start of the OPS Net, the frequency of 145.950 MHz is being used
for a QSO, OPS Net enthusiasts are asked to move to the alternate
frequency of 145.955 MHz.

Any stations with information on current events would be most welcomed.
Also, those interested in discussing technical issues or who have
questions about any particular aspect of OSCAR statellite operations,
are encouraged to join the OPS Nets. If neither of the Net Control
Stations show up, any participant is invited to act as the NCS.
Slow Scanners are invited to join the SSTV sessions on AO-13. The freq-

Hello,
My name is Paul and recently I have been reading a great book about
satellites. The following is information that was covered in the first
chapters.
A magnetic torquer is basically a rod with a coil wrapped around it.
The direction of current into the coil can be changed. Torquers are used
to counteract the earths magnetic field, as well as residual forces of the
spacecraft. A magnetic dipole moment is produced when the coil is
energized, defined as:
dipole moment = pole strength X distance between poles
A nutation damper is a tube partially filled with mercury and mounted
on the spacecraft deck. It is a viscous damper, which damps out "nutation",
( a "wobbly axis").
During the Hubble telescope repair, we heard a lot about Magnetometers.
These are devices which measure the strength of a magnetic field, and also
its direction. In its simplist form it is a solenoid coil with a
ferromagnetic core. As it passes through the earths magnetic field a
proportional output curreroduced.
Tracking refers to following, and plotting the path of an object.
Telemetry, refers to the process of obtaining samples of data from various
sensors and then transmitting the data to an earth station. The data from
the sensors is first encoded and then modulated onto an RF carrier. The
modulated carrier is transmitted to earth. A sensor measures some parameter
such as radiation, temperature, pressure, or speed (RPM), and changes it into
an electrical signal, which can be processed by a computer. Time division
multiplexing or frequency division multiplexing are used to place all of the
"telemetry data" on a single carrier.
Does anyone know the bandwidth requirement for telemetry (esp. PCM)?
Please leave a reply or contact "Paul" via Internet, my address is:

COmbinng antennas into arrays is covered in most texts on antennas. You
will have to do it at receive frequency and feed the power to a combiner. The
pointing accuracy needed will be approx that for an antenna with the diam=
spacing between the two dishes (ie you'll need to be very accurate), while
the signal will only go up 3bd. This is great for radia astronomy where you
want to know exactly where your source is. However you just want more
signal, in which case it will be easier to buy a bigger dish.

I've always seen phased antenna arrays used for more precise pointing, not
for increased gain. Of course, with a narrower "beam" you GET more gain,
so maybe it isn't as unusual an idea as it first seemed....
