Dayton Hamvention Moving to Greene County Fairgrounds in Xenia

Hamvention® announced today that it will be moving to the Greene
County Fairgrounds and Event Center in Xenia, Ohio, after 52 years at
Hara Arena. That’s about 16 miles east of Dayton center off US Route
35 (see map). Hara Arena announced last week that it would be
closing, and Hamvention indicated that it soon would be announcing
its back-up plan for a new venue in the Dayton area.

“We appreciate and value all the time and effort of the many
partners, in particular the Greene County Agricultural Society, the
Greene County Board of Commissioners and the Greene County Convention
& Visitors Bureau has put into helping Hamvention find the right
venue to continue our long history here in the Miami Valley,”
Hamvention General Chair Ron Cramer, KD8ENJ, said. “We look forward
to a long and mutually prosperous relationship.”

Last week, after Hara Arena announced it would close, Cramer had
said, “We have spent many hours over the last few years evaluating
possible locations and have found one in the area we believe will be
a great new home! We all believe this new venue will be a spectacular
place to hold our beloved event. Please rest assured we will have the
event on the same weekend and, since it will be in the region, the
current accommodations and outside events already planned for
Hamvention 2017 should not be affected.”

Hamvention chief spokesman and board member Mike Kalter, W8CI, told
ARRL today that announcement of the new venue came a bit sooner than
he’d anticipated last week. He pointed out that the event annually
attracts in excess of 25,000 visitors from every US state and some 60
countries around the world.

“The key thing is that we plan to have a 5-star event,” he said of
Hamvention 2017. “We’ll put a lot of time and energy into it.”

The move to Xenia could prove to be a huge financial bonanza for the
city and Greene County. Hamvention typically has meant millions of
dollars to the Dayton/Montgomery County area, and some of that
benefit now could migrate eastward down US 35. Kalter conceded that
the new venue in Greene County is a slightly longer drive from Dayton
City Center -- where some Hamvention-related events traditionally
occur -- than it was to Hara Arena, but he believes it will be worth
the trip.

“Montgomery County didn’t have anything for us,” he said. “We looked
exhaustively. We’ve known this is what we’d do for about a month — if
Hara Arena would no longer be available.”

And the flea market at the new site? “Our plan is to have a much
better flea market,” Kalter said. “We have two or three different
options, but we think people are really going to like it.”

He said the entire fairgrounds facility was rebuilt several years
ago after it was destroyed by a tornado, so the buildings are newer
than Hara, which was built in the 1950s. He said there will be
opportunities to bring in campers — with 30 A service, water, and
sewer available.

Kalter believes the change in venue in and of itself will be a big
incentive for a lot of people who may be just thinking about
attending Hamvention 2017 right now. “We expect next year to be a big
year,” he said. “We expect a lot of people to come to see what it’s
like.”

LoTW adds UKube-1 Support

The ARRL has informed Paul, N8HM that TQSL configuration file
version 9.3 will be released shortly adding support for UKube-1 in
LoTW.

Please note that due to character limitations, the satellite name
for LoTW will be "UKUBE1"

Clayton W5PFG followed up saying "Simply launching the TQSL
application should inform you that a new configuration file is
available.  I've updated my log and uploaded all of my UKube-1
contacts with the new SAT_NAME parameter UKUBE1."

Skyler Fennell, KD0WHB, is 2016 Young Ham of the Year

Skyler Fennell KD0WHB, of Denver, CO, has been selected as the 2016
Bill Pasternak WA6ITF Memorial Young Ham of the Year by the Amateur
Radio Newsline.

Skyler's interest in satellite communications resulted in a revival
of Colorado Amateur Satellite Net where he became a net control
operator and created a website for the net:
https://amsatnet.info/

Skyler, 17, is the son of Karl and Carol Fennell, and recently
graduated with honors from Denver School of the Arts.

Skyler was first licensed in July 2013 as a Technician and upgraded
to General by September 2013. He took and passed his Extra class
license exam in January 2014.

Skyler's interest in basic electronics was sparked when he was in
the fourth grade and continued into middle school and high school.

Among his early building projects were a laser spirograph, audio
amplifiers, and high voltage transformer drivers.

A high school friend, Jordan Walters, KD0MLV, introduced Skyler to
amateur radio when he was a freshman in high school , explaining how
radio transmissions could bounce off layers of the atmosphere. That
led Skyler to engage in a six-month period of study, testing and
operating that resulted in his path to Extra.

Skyler has extensive experience in designing and working on repeater
systems and introduced an AllStar Link system for one of the Rocky
Mountain Radio League's repeaters.

He began working with the AB0BX STEM School Amateur Radio Club in
nearby Littleton, CO and got involved in the group's Edge of Space
Sciences missions (balloon launches with amateur equipment). He
became project manager for its 440Mhz repeater and helped put
together an AllStar and EchoLink repeater for students, serving as a
mentor for construction of the project.

Skyler started the Denver School of the Arts amateur radio club in
August 2015 and was trustee of the club call - KE0FXH.

Skyler has chronicled several of his amateur radio and technical
achievements on his YouTube channel - "Skyler F."

He was also involved in proposing and assisting in the construction
of a VHF/UHF repeater at a remote base site on Blue Mountain in the
Denver area and added an AllStar link to the system.

This past May, Skyler spoke at the Youth Forum at the Dayton
Hamvention on the topic: "Homebrewing on a Budget." He also addressed
the Quarter Century Wireless Association forum in Dayton about how
his technical interests will help him further his educational and
career goals.

Skyler is an Eagle Scout, a rank he achieved at the age of 13. He
also combined his interest in cycling and amateur radio, assembling a
bicycling mobile set-up with VHF and UHF radios.

He is also an accomplished pianist and earned the first-place trophy
in the recent U.S. International Duo Piano competition in Colorado
Springs this past February after performing a Poulenic piano sonata
for four hands, two pianos.

Skyler will be recognized during the Huntsville Hamfest on Aug. 20
in the Von Braun Civic Center, Huntsville, AL.

The Young Ham of the Year award was inaugurated by William
Pasternak, WA6ITF, in 1986. Upon his passing in 2015, Bill's name was
added to the award as a memorial to his commitment to recognizing the
accomplishments of young people to the amateur radio service.

In addition to Amateur Radio Newsline, CQ Magazine and Yaesu USA are
primary sponsors, along with Heil Sound Ltd. and Radiowavz Antenna
Company.

Skyler will be receiving a gift of amateur radio gear from Yaesu and
a complimentary week at Space Camp, Huntsville, provided by CQ.

NASA’s CubeSat Launch Initiative Opens Space to Educators, Nonprofits

Accredited education institutions, nonprofit organizations and NASA
centers can join the adventure and challenges of space while helping
the agency achieve its exploration goals through the next round of
the agency’s CubeSat Launch Initiative (CSLI). Applicants must submit
proposals by 4:30 p.m. EST, Nov. 22.

The CSLI provides CubeSat developers with a low-cost pathway to
space to conduct research that advances NASA's strategic goals in the
areas of science, exploration, technology development, education and
operations. The initiative provides students, teachers and faculty
with the chance to get hands-on flight hardware development
experience designing, building and operating these small research
satellites.

NASA will make selections by Feb. 17, 2017, but selection does not
guarantee a launch opportunity. Selected experiments will be
considered as auxiliary payloads on agency launches or for deployment
from the International Space Station beginning in 2017 through 2020.
If chosen, U.S. nonpro?t and accredited educational organizations are
entirely responsible for funding the development of the small
satellites.

To date, NASA has selected 119 CubeSat missions, 46 of which have
been launched into space. NASA has offered a launch opportunity to 95
percent of those selected through previous announcements, with 29
scheduled for launch within the next 12 months. The selected CubeSats
represent participants from 32 states, demonstrating the significant
progress NASA has made on a remarkable goal established during the
2015 White House Maker Faire, to launch a small satellite from at
least one participant in every state during the next five years.

For this round of the initiative, NASA is particularly interested in
participation from organizations in the District of Columbia, Puerto
Rico, and 18 states not previously selected. These states are:
Arkansas, Delaware, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Minnesota,
Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina,
Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota, Washington and
Wyoming.

CubeSats are in a class of research spacecraft called
nanosatellites. Base CubeSat dimensions are about 4-by-4-by-4 inches
(10-by-10-by-11 centimeters), which equals one Cube, or 1U. CubeSats
supported by this launch effort include volumes of 1U, 2U, 3U and 6U.
CubeSats of 1U, 2U and 3U size typically have a mass of about three
pounds (1.33 kilograms) per 1U Cube. A 6U CubeSat typically has a
mass of about 26.5 pounds (12 to 14 kilograms). The CubeSat's final
mass depends on the selected deployment method.

Small satellites, including CubeSats, play a valuable role in the
agency’s exploration, science, technology and educational
investigations. These miniature satellites provide a low-cost
platform for NASA science missions, including planetary exploration,
Earth observation, and fundamental Earth and space science. They are
a cornerstone in the development of cutting-edge NASA technologies
like laser communications, satellite-to-satellite communications and
autonomous movement.

NASA also is using small satellites to demonstrate and validate the
vehicles, systems and protections humans need to live and work in
space and on other worlds. They are an inexpensive means to engage
students in all phases of satellite development, operation and
exploitation through real-world, hands-on research and development
experience on NASA-funded rideshare launch opportunities.

U.S. Space & Rocket Center Information:

Since 1982, Space Camp® at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in
Huntsville, Alabama has been inspiring people of all ages about space
science, space flight, and space exploration. Among the 750,000 Space
Camp graduates worldwide are five astronaut alumnae, including Dr.
Kate Rubins, slated to launch on expedition 48/49 to the ISS this
summer. Her presence on the space station provides an incredible
opportunity for young people currently attending Space Camp to be
able to talk to someone who was once in their shoes who went on to
become an astronaut. It is also very likely that international
students will be taking part in Space Camp during the link. These
students will have a unique opportunity while visiting the United
States to take part in an active exchange with the largest multi-
national laboratory on-or off-the planet! In addition to Space Camp
trainees, museum guests will have the opportunity to take part in the
activity. As the original NASA visitor center, the U.S. Space &
Rocket Center has been telling NASA's story since 1970. And with over
650,000 visitors annually, the Space and Rocket Center is Alabama's
top tourism attraction. And depending on when the event falls in the
summer, the USSRC may also bring in educators attending Space Academy
for Educators, an immersive professional development program
conducted throughout the summer months annually. In short, the USSRC
hope to maximize both camp and museum guest participation to promote
the scientific activities taking place on the ISS, as well as
highlight the technology that allows such an exchange to take place.
