[amsat-bb] QB50P1+2 / Dnepr Launch
Hi all. Using published information about the upcoming Dnepr launch on Thursday, I've produced a set of keps that seem to fit well with the launch time from Yasny. Sorry they are not in 2-line format, but these can be typed into Nova and other programs. Should be OK for the first 24 hrs after which we will hopefully have some from the launch agency or one of the payload teams.

[amsat-bb] W1AW/9 satellite operations from Illinois
W1AW/9 will be active from Illinois beginning June 25 and continuing through July 1. All operations will be from the EN50 grid square. Exchanging a signal report is all that is needed for a valid QSO, so there is no need to struggle with a grid square report if conditions become difficult. I will plan to be active on AO-7, FO-29, and VO-52. SO-50 operations may be attempted as time allows. Recently the ISS packet BBS has been active and I will plan to operate ISS packet (keyboard QSOs) if the repeater is turned on during the time period allotted. Afternoon and evening passes will be emphasized, with some morning activity when practical here. Activity will be minimal during Field Day hours, since satellite resources will be needed by FD stations. QSLs will be handled through the ARRL. If you need a contact during a particular time period, I will try to be on the air as needed. You can contact me at aa...@amsat.org mailto:aa...@amsat.org if you have any requests or suggestions.

[amsat-bb] AMSAT Web and Mail outage explained.
Web and mail were out of service for about and hour between 2014 JUN 18 20:10 UTC and 21:10 UTC due to network problems at our vendor's data center. As of this writing, I have not received the all clear message, so there could be continuing difficulties. -Joe KM1P * From the data center at 2014 JUN 19 02:10 UTC: Additional complications have prevented us from completing the network maintenance in US Central Zone B that was originally planned to be completed in the early morning of June 18th. We are moving forward with a solution that will enable us to restore services to affected customers while vendor issues are resolved. Users losing service earlier today will see this improve although, until additional resources are restored, US Central Zone B will continue to run at a diminished capacity. This means customers with services in that Zone may continue to experience intermittent latency and connection issues. Fixing this is of critical importance to us and we are working diligently to ensure the service of each and every one of these customers is personally addressed. This will be updated with additional information as we continue to approach a comprehensive solution. Customers affected by these networking issues in Lansing Zone B will also continue to receive emails with additional details as they develop. Thank you for your patience. ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member? Join now to support the amateur satellite program!
