AM1SAT Satellite Contest, September 2023
AMSAT-EA will be on the air on all available satellites with the callsigns
AM1SAT and AM2023SAT from September 4th to 17th, 2023 to celebrate the
fourth edition of the AM1SAT trophy contest as part of the URE activities
within the IberRadio 2023 event, the largest one in the world of amateur
radio in Spain and Portugal (http://www.iberradio.es), and which will open
its doors during the weekend of 16-17 in Avila, a city near Madrid, capital
of Spain.
The AMSAT-EA operators will activate the aforementioned callsigns from the
different states and autonomous cities of Spain during the said period of
time and with the objective in this edition to promote contacts with the
maximum number of them.
As part of this activity and to encourage participation, SILVER and GOLD
diplomas will be available for the different modalities of satellites
according to their footprint and orbital height, LEO, MEO (IO-117
satellite) and GEO (QO-100 satellite), as well as a trophy for the station
that works the greatest number of states in the total number of available
satellites and another trophy for the one that contacts the greatest number
of states on the satellite with the largest footprint and coverage (in this
case, IO-117). These trophies will be physically sent at no cost to the
winners.
The third edition of the AM1SAT satellite contest, in 2021, finished with
1327 QSOs including GEO and LEO contacts, with 57 different
radio-countries, using 20 satellites and with the participation of 419
different competitors (callsigns).

Changes to AMSAT-NA TLE Distribution for August 11
Two Line Elements or TLEs, often referred to as Keplerian elements or keps
in the amateur community, are the inputs to the SGP4 standard mathematical
model of spacecraft orbits used by most amateur tracking programs. Weekly
updates are completely adequate for most amateur satellites. Elements in
the TLE bulletin files are updated daily. TLE bulletin files are updated to
add or remove satellites as necessary Thursday evenings around 2300 UTC, or
more frequently if new high interest satellites are launched. More
information may be found at
https://www.amsat.org/keplerian-elements-resources/
The following satellite has decayed from orbit and has been removed from
this week's AMSAT-NA TLE distribution:
ATHENOXAT-1 NORAD Cat ID 41168 decayed from orbit on 8 August 2023
[ANS thanks Joe Fitzgerald, KM1P, AMSAT Orbital Elements Manager for the
above information]
