INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION BRIEFLY "HAM-LESS" AFTER

CREW MEMBERS RETURN TO EARTH

Page 2 November 2014 The Repeater

The only two radio amateurs on the International

Space Station (ISS) were among three crew members

who returned to Earth on November 10, and another

ham-astronaut won't arrive on board the ISS until later

this month. An exciting 2015 appears to be in store.

NASA Flight Engineer Reid Wiseman, KF5LKT,

and European Space Agency Astronaut Alexander

Gerst, KF5ONO, joined Expedition 41 Commander and

Russian Cosmonaut Max Suraev on the flight home

this week. Traveling in a Soyuz space capsule, the trio

touched down safely in Kazakhstan after some 6

months on the station. Wiseman and Gerst were active

on Amateur Radio during their time in orbit, handling

questions from curious Earthlings during Amateur Ra-

dio on the International Space Station (ARISS) educa-

tional contacts and, in Wiseman's case, his first ARRL

Field Day in

June -- an

activity he

discussed in

a recent

#askAstro

YouTube

post.

This was

the first mis-

sion for both

Wiseman

and Gerst.

While in

space, the

pair carried

out a spacewalk to relocate a failed pump module and

configure the station for upcoming additions. Wiseman

completed a second spacewalk with fellow NASA astro-

naut Barry Wilmore, now the ISS Expedition 42 Com-

mander.

According to ARISS, there will be no US Operation-

al Segment hams on the ISS until December 7, and the

ARISS Russian team will conduct any school contacts

in the interim. European Space Agency astronaut Sa-

mantha Cristoforetti, IZ0UDF, heads to the ISS on No-

vember 23. She will be the sole radio amateur on orbit

until next March. That's when Cosmonauts Gennady

Padalka, RN3DT, and Mikhail Kornienko, RN3BF --

both space veterans -- will arrive. A key research focus

during Expedition 41 was human health management

for long-duration space travel, as NASA and Roscosmos

prepare for Kornienko and NASA Astronaut Scott Kelly

to remain aboard the ISS for 1 year.

Several call signs are available for use on the ISS.

NASA astronauts use NA1SS, while Russian cosmo-

nauts operate under RS0ISS. Other call signs include

DP0ISS, OR4ISS, and IR0ISS, available for use by Eu-

ropean Space Agency astronauts. UK telecoms regula-

tor Ofcom recently issued the call sign GB1SS for as-

signment to UK space travelers while aboard the ISS.

NASA Astronaut Kjell Lindgren, KO5MOS, and

Japan Aero-

space Explo-

ration Agen-

cy (JAXA)

Astronaut

Kimiya Yui,

KG5BPH,

will head to

the ISS next

May. Astro-

nauts Tim

Kopra,

KE5UDN,

and Tim Peake, KG5BVI, will be part of a crew incre-

ment heading into space a year from now. Peake, who

is from the UK, may use the GB1SS call sign.

British pop singer Sarah Brightman is currently

scheduled to travel to the ISS in October 2015 for a 10-

day visit as a fare-paying "spaceflight participant." Her

website has adopted an otherworldly theme. While it is

not known if she will participate in any Amateur Radio

contacts during her short ISS stay, she apparently

would be eligible to do so using GB1SS.

ARISS has announced that the deadline is Decem-

ber 15 for schools and educational institutions and or-

ganizations -- formal and informal -- to submit pro-

posals to host an Amateur Radio contact with an ISS

crew member. ARISS is especially interested in arrang-

ing contact events that will draw large numbers of par-

ticipants and integrate the radio contact into a well-

developed educational plan. ARISS anticipates that the

ham radio contacts between students and the space sta-

tion will take place between May 1 and December 31,

2015. The ARRL website has more information.

Contact ARISS with any questions or for additional

information. NASA has posted more information on the

International Space Station and its crews.

EDMUND FITZGERALD SPECIAL EVENT

Page 3 November 2014 The Repeater

Bruno (WA8DHP)

reported on the Ed-

mund Fitzgerald Spe-

cial Event at the

Dossin Great Lakes

Museum, which took

place on Saturday, No-

vember 8th. Twelve

members assisted Bruno in making 39 CW contacts and

195 on SSB. Doris, K8DXJ, then went home and made

95 more.

If any other LARC members operated from home

and made contacts for W8F, please bring your log to the

November 24th General Meeting for Bruno to confirm.

Bruno thanks all for the fine work on this special event.

A very cold job for the antenna team.

Tas (K8TAS) and John (N8DXR) take their turn at the W8F Phone station.

Alan (N8BTU) and Larry (K8MU) making many Phone contacts.

Mike (N8MR) and Rick (N8XI) take their turn, while Chuck (WV8A) supervises.

We did have visitors .

Page 4 November 2014 The Repeater

The older members of the Club are probably familiar

with Hedy Lamarr, an iconic actress from Hollywood’s

Golden Age. But, did you also know we can thank for de-

veloping Wi-Fi technology?

Born in Austria in 1914 Lamarr tried to defuse a po-

tential military threat during World War II. To prevent

remote-controlled torpedoes from being

hijacked, she helped develop an early ver-

sion of spread spectrum communication,

which is part of the basis for wireless

technologies such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.

Lamarr, got her first taste of engi-

neering at the age of 18 when she married

Friedrich Mandl, an armaments manufac-

turer 14 years her senior. After divorcing

Mandl and moving to Hollywood to take

up acting, her passion for engineering

remained strong to the point that she set

up a room in her house complete with a drafting table and

wall of engineering reference books. Experimenting with

automated control of musical instruments with composer

George Antheil, they came up with the idea of “frequency

hopping.”

At the time, radio-controlled torpedoes could easily be

detected and jammed by broadcasting interference at the

frequency of the control signal, thereby causing the torpe-

do to go off course. Frequency hopping essentially served

to encrypt the control signal because it was impossible for

a target to scan and jam all of the frequencies.

Lamarr and Antheil were granted a patent for their

invention on August 11, 1942, but the US Navy had a

“Not Invented Here” policy and just stuffed her patent in

a file cabinet. No, Hedy Lemarr did NOT save the Navy

or help us win WWII. Her patent

was ignored until twenty years later

when the groundbreaking technolo-

gy was used on military ships dur-

ing a blockade of Cuba in 1962.

When Bell Labs discovered their

own spread spectrum, the patent

search discovered Lamarr’s work.

By then it was in the public domain,

and it cost nothing to include with

their own.

Unfortunately, Lamarr’s part in

its development has been largely overlooked and her ef-

forts weren’t recognized until almost three years before

she died in 2000 when the Electronic Frontier Founda-

tion gave her an award for her technological contribu-

tions. She passed away at the age of 85.
