   The Duchess of Edinburgh spoke live with one of the stranded   
   astronauts aboard the International Space Station as she visited   
   an historic motoring and aviation museum.   
      
   Sophie was joined by Brownies, Guides and Rangers as she made radio   
   contact with Sunita Williams at Brooklands Museum in Surrey Saturday   
   week. The event was part of a wider day of activities for the children   
   aiming to promote the engagement and involvement of girls and young   
   women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (Stem).

   EME EARTH-MOON-EARTH   
      
   On Friday 18 October and Saturday 19 October 2024 the Dwingeloo Radio   
   Telescope will once again function as an online Earth Moon Earth   
   (EME) relay station for JOTA. This is a single-dish radio telescope   
   in the north-eastern Netherlands.   
      
   It  will be online between 17:00 UTC and approximately 22.30 UTC so   
   that the JOTA participants can send messages to each other via the   
   moon. The frequency on which the JOTA groups transmit is 432.050 MHz.   
      
   This year, in addition to the 70cm band I mentioned, they will also   
   stream part of the 23cm band (1296 MHz  1298 MHz). Of course,   
   non-JOTA stations can also use this opportunity to test equipment.   
      
   QRP EME.   
      
   For example, a single Yagi antenna with sufficient elements with   
   approximately 50W transmitting power can be considered. This is often   
   sufficient in this situation because the Dwingeloo telescope is such   
   a sensitive receiver, they do ask the non-JOTA EME stations to   
   transmit around 432.100 MHz or higher so that the weak JOTA stations   
   will not be hindered!   
      
   These signals are offered over the internet by means of the CAMRAS   
   WebSDR. You can watch via the link in our "written word".   
      
   websdr.camras.nl:8901/?tune=432050.00usb   
      
   Remember to have installed the special decoder software WSJT-X .   
      
   wsjt.sourceforge.io/wsjtx.html   
      
   The scouts use the mode JT65 and sub B in WSJT-X and at the same   
   time the option EME delay must be enabled so that the required 2.5   
   second delay is used. This delay is necessary to take into account the   
   transit time of the moon echoes.

   WIA News rebroadcasters often give Short Wave Listeners a   
   welcome to the broadcast as they commence call-backs   
   straight after the Local News. Local news follows National   
   news in all states. It would be great if those SWL's would   
   email their reception reports and location to   
   callbacks@wia.org.au   
   Submitting news items   
      
   If you would like to submit news items for possible inclusion   
   in the VK1WIA broadcasts, please email your item in text to   
   nationalnews@wia.org.au   and don't JUST send url's links or   
   posters, but take the time to pen YOUR contribution.   
      
   To submit audio, email nationalnews@wia.org.au   
   and send BOTH the audio and the text   
      
   We would appreciate items certainly no longer than 1.5 mts in   
   length as we only have a half hour.   
      
   Remember the sooner you submit material the more the   
   likelihood of it being broadcast in the very next edition of   
   WIA National News.
