A suivre en direct sur le site http://ref-info.r-e-f.org/ISS En partenariat avec le CNES et l’ESA, le REF diffusera sur son site REF-info la videotransmission du départ de Thomas PESQUET vers la station ISS le 17 novembre 2016 à partir de 20H30. Le REF diffusera également en direct l’arrimage du vaisseau Soyouz à l’ISS et l’accueil de Thomas à bord de la station , le Samedi 19 Novembre à 23h30.

Les radioamateurs mettront ainsi leur savoir faire technique et scientifique au service des enseignants et des scolaires en espérant créer des vocations de spationautes ….et/ou de radioamateurs ! Rendez-vous Jeudi pour un décollage prévu à 21h20 : http://ref-info.r-e-f.org/ISS/ 73, Lucien F1TE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Liaison ARISS L’équipe radioamateur est composée de F5RYT, F5BTH, F2WB, F6IJI, F1JVV et F6GXY. C’est un travail collaboratif IDRE REF31 avec le soutien d’ARISS France (Joseph F6ICS et Sylvain F1UJT) Nous sommes intervenus dans les classes concernés par le projet pour expliquer ce qu’est la radio, qui sont et que font les radioamateurs et comment allons-nous contacter Thomas Pesquet (FX0ISS) lorsqu’il sera dans l’ISS. Le décollage de Thomas Pesquet est planifié au jeudi 17 novembre vers 21h45 (heure locale en France). La station sera installée au collège les Maristes de Toulouse le vendredi 18 novembre.

[TNX K5GS] CLUB LOG'S MOST WANTED LIST ---> The latest Most Wanted List, generated on 31 October, is available at https://secure.clublog.org/mostwanted.php. The information is derived from QSOs uploaded to Club Log (currently 386 million log entries available for analysis) and, to improve quality, only QSOs that have QSLs confirmed are considered to be worked. IOTA NEWS ---> Record-holders who have made IOTA contacts in an IOTA contest after 2003, can claim credit for them without submitting QSLs, provided that the contact details match, either by manually entering the QSO information on the input form or by uploading a Cabrillo format log. The 2016 IOTA Contest data has now been uploaded to the IOTA database and is available for QSO matching. "Some users have experienced issues with their contest QSOs being rejected", PA3EXX reported on 2 November. "This has been fixed now and users are invited to upload their logs one more time". Please note that "logs of 12 operations out of 718 which participated have been excluded from being uploaded as the IOTA Validation Team (VT) is awaiting documentation", G3KMA said on 30 October. "It should be noted that if an operation is asked by VT (not the same as the RSGB Contest Committee) for validation and this is not sent in good time, QSO matching will not be allowed and a warning that the operation will not be accepted for IOTA will be posted on the database for applicants to note. In certain circumstances this could affect contest results". QSL GALLERY ---> The large collection of QSL cards on Les Nouvelles DX's web site has been updated.
