CubeSats can be terrific education tools, but educator Mark Samis, KD2XS,
found that "space-ready" models were hard to build. Enter the CubeSat Simulator, an educational project sponsored by AMSAT. Read about Mark's experience setting up and teaching with the simulator in his article "Meet
the CubeSatSim." Read QST [ https://edition.pagesuite-professional.co.uk/html5/reader/production/default.aspx?pubname=&pubid=604160a2-6442-4ed0-9695-2e753da4eb98

July/August On the Air

[https://edition.pagesuite-professional.co.uk/html5/reader/production/default.aspx?pubname=&pubid=2b55b7de-280c-4770-b209-5aafb264d669]



If you're eager to get on the air, but "mic fright" is holding you back, you may want to try keying up amid the structure of an on-air net. "Make Your
First Contact on a Net" by Wayne Greene, KB4DSF, explains what nets are, how
to access them, and a bit about the predictable structure that makes them a safe bet for anyone who's worried about saying the wrong thing at the wrong time.

Register for Wayne's August 25 session of "On the Air Live" at learn.arrl.org to get more information about how to get involved.

column touches upon his experiences in mentoring young hams, both in general terms of what works, as well as with details about the activities of specific young contesters.

NEW in the ARRL Store

[https://home.arrl.org/action/Store/Product-Details/productId/2114202500]


The new ARRL Dual-Band VHF/UHF Diplexer is a compact dual-band diplexer for combining VHF and UHF signals into a single feed.

It supports up to 10 watts of input power and is ideal for handheld transceivers, portable stations, and other low-power amateur radio applications.

Use it to attenuate harmonics from lower-quality handheld transceivers for improved FCC compliance, protect UHF SDR receivers from strong 2-meter and lower-frequency signals, or allow two low-power VHF/UHF transceivers to share
a single antenna.
