HamGPT Launches Personal AI Copilot for Amateur Radio

Amateur radio operators have a new digital tool in their toolkit with the launch of HamGPT, a specialized AI chatbot designed specifically to assist hams with technical questions, propagation, and station data.

Built on a powerful GPT engine, HamGPT distinguishes itself from mainstream artificial intelligence platforms by integrating directly with key amateur radio data sources, including the FCC database and live propagation tracking reports.

Ham Radio Copilot [Credit: https://app.hamq.net/en/]

To get started, users must register using their valid amateur radio callsign and location. The platform currently offers a free tier featuring a limited number of daily queries.

Key Features and Capabilities

Targeted Assistance: HamGPT can field common operational questions, such as identifying which amateur band currently offers the best propagation to a specific DX destination, or surfacing nearby repeater coordinates and band plans.
Data Integration: Unlike standard AI assistants that rely solely on generalized web data, HamGPT is tailored to parse structured amateur radio frameworks, providing context-aware answers tailored to licensing and regional regulations.
Future Developments: Developers behind the project are exploring advanced utility features, such as processing ADIF (Amateur Data Interchange Format) log files to streamline award tracking, DXCC qualifications, and contest log scoring.

While tools like HamGPT showcase how modern artificial intelligence is bleeding into technical hobbies, the platform serves as an interactive copilot rather than a replacement for hands-on operating experience. Early users note that while it provides quick access to localized repeater and database queries, operators should still cross-reference complex technical designs with authoritative texts and Elmer advice.

Young Ham of the Year Recognition for Satellite Operator

The 2026 winner of the Bill Pasternak WA6ITF Memorial Amateur Radio Newsline Young Ham of the Year Award (YHOTY) is Carsten Glasbrenner, KQ4SJM, of Brooksville, Florida. Carsten, age 14, who holds a General Class license earned in May 2024, took his Technician test at the age of 11. He is the son of Drew and Merete Glasbrenner. Carsten gives his dad, KO4MA, credit for planting the seeds that sprouted into an early interest in amateur radio â specifically, satellites. [Drew Glasbrenner is currently the president of AMSAT.]

Award committee chairman, Mark Abramowicz, NT3V, reported that Carsten was almost speechless when he learned in a recent phone call he had been selected as this yearâs YHOTY award. Carsten says he was also pretty nervous making his first satellite contact just a month after earning his General and called on dad for some help.

âI hadnât learned completely how to point and polarize the antenna yet. So I was more talking and he was helping me out through what I was going to say since FM satellites are rather quick so itâs kind of hard to understand when youâre first doing them. So he was helping me out with the call signs, what to say, what to copy and what grid square I was. I didnât know what grid square we were in yet.â

Since that first contact, Carsten has well over 100 satellite contacts in the log and has activated a number of rare grid squares. He begins high school this fall and says his interest in kit-building, especially soldering components, might set him on the path to electrical engineering.

Carsten says his interest in sharing his new-found hobby with other young people led to invitations to speak at Hamcation and the Dayton Hamvention and earned him a position as AMSATâs youngest Ambassador. This past March, Carstenâs proposal to get more young hams working satellites became a reality. Itâs called âStudents On the Airâ days and theyâre held the first and third Tuesdays of each month.

Carsten will be presented with the YHOTY award at the Huntsville Hamfest on Saturday, August 22 at the Von Braun Center in Huntsville, Alabama.

A previous YHOTY award winner, from 2024, is one of four top achievers receiving scholarships from the Young Ladies Radio League (YLRL) to support their continued studies. The Ethel Smith K2LMB Memorial Scholarship is being awarded to Grace Papay, K8LG, who is being recognized for the second year in a row with this scholarship. The third-generation ham is a top contester in addition to being a satellite enthusiast. She was the first recipient younger than 21 to receive the AMSAT Grid Master Award. The Michigan resident is studying electrical engineering at Cedarville University in Cedarville, Ohio. Other recipients of YLRL scholarships this year are Katie Campbell, KE8LQR, Sabrina Mol, WS8EMT, and Kanushi Desai, KE8RNA.

The Amateur Radio Newsline Young Ham of the Year Award program is cosponsored by Amateur Radio Newslineâ¢, along with Yaesu USA, CQ Publishing, Heil Sound Ltd. and RadioWavz. The award was created in 1986 by ARNewslineâ¢ founder Bill Pasternak, WA6ITF.

FireSat Constellation Launches First Operational Satellites to Transform Wildfire Tracking

As critical wildfire conditions continue to impact North America, the Google-supported FireSat initiative has marked a major milestone. As previously noted in ANS-186, Â the first three operational satellites, Firesat-1, -2, and -3, dedicated to the constellation have successfully achieved orbit. The satellites were launched aboard a SpaceX Transporter-17 rideshare mission on July 7, 2026.

The microsatellites were developed by spacecraft manufacturer Muon Space and are managed by the nonprofit Earth Fire Alliance (EFA), signifying a transition from prototype validation to active, global deployment.

âProtoflightâ Mission

This latest deployment follows successful testing of the programâs technology in orbit.

The FireSat prototype, ProtoFlight, launched from Vandenberg Space Force Base aboard a SpaceX Transporter-13 mission in March 2025. The primary objective of this pilot mission was to test and validate the constellationâs novel system design and its end-to-end data product workflow. According to program reports, the prototype successfully detected wildfires of various types and sizes across five continents, proving the concept prior to this larger deployment.

Satellite Design and Payload Specifications

Designed specifically to address the historical gap where emergency responders relied on weather or Earth-imaging satellites built for other purposes, FireSat features a purpose-built architecture tailored for high-cadence wildfire observation.

Multispectral IR Radiometer: Each satellite carries an advanced six-channel multispectral infrared payload spanning across five distinct bands, optimized around mid-wave infrared (MWIR) and long-wave infrared (TIR) thermal window channels.
Swath and Resolution: The instrument utilizes a cross-track scanning method featuring an expansive 1,500-kilometer (930 miles) observation swath and an average ground sample distance resolution of 80 meters (260 feet).
Small-Fire Sensitivity: By leveraging high thermal sensitivity, the satellite can detect heat sources occupying only a fraction of an image pixel, allowing the constellation to identify early-stage ignitions and hot spots as small as 5 by 5 meters (16-by-16 feet or roughly 270 square feet).
Through-Smoke Performance: The onboard sensors are engineered to pierce through thick layers of smoke and cloud cover while maintaining a false-positive detection rate of less than 5%.

Core Data Products

FireSat generates a robust suite of specialized data products to feed directly into operational firefighting workflows and scientific research:

Hotspot Identification: Near real-time detection of new or growing ignitions to catch fires early.
Fire Perimeter: Continuously updated boundaries of the outer edge of a fire to coordinate safe resource allocation.
Fire Progression: Critical situational awareness tracking spread rate, speed, and direction for evacuation planning.
Fire Radiative Power: Quantification of released energy to help researchers assess ecosystem impacts and estimate carbon emissions.

Following initial on-orbit testing and calibration, the operational satellites will deliver data at least twice daily to firefighting agencies, modelers, and scientists in EFAâs Early Adopter Program.

The initiative is backed by foundational support from Californiaâs CAL FIRE,Â tech contributions from Google.org and Google Research, and aÂ commitment from the Bezos Earth Fund.

HAMQ: The All-in-One iPhone Powerhouse for Satellite and Portable Ops

Amateur radio operators interested in satellite communications, slow-scan television (SSTV), and portable operations have a new tool available. HAMQ, a comprehensive application developed by Mao, BG5AXS, has officially launched for the iPhone.

Designed to streamline operations in the field and reduce the need to switch between multiple apps, HAMQ integrates several key functions into a single mobile platform.

HamQ app interface [Credit: hamq.net]

Satellite Tracking and Antenna Pointing

At the core of HAMQ is its robust satellite-tracking component. Using the standard SGP4 orbital propagation model, the application calculates upcoming passes for both Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and Geostationary (GEO) satellites.

The app provides real-time data, including:

Upcoming pass times
Real-time azimuth and elevation
Satellite position and orbital information
Associated operating frequencies

To assist operators during a live pass, HAMQ features a compass-assisted pointing display. This tool helps users orient themselves and aim handheld directional antennas accurately.

Integrated SSTV Decoding and Encoding

A notable feature of HAMQ is its integrated SSTV functionality. The application allows operators to both decode and encode SSTV signals directly using the iPhoneâs microphone and speaker.

Received signals can be processed in real-time, enabling the user to view and save images on their device without the need to first record audio and transfer it to a desktop computer. These SSTV tools are functional for terrestrial transmissions as well as amateur satellite and space-related activities.

QSO Logging and ADIF Export

To complete the operating cycle, HAMQ includes an integrated QSO logbook. Operators can record their contacts directly within the app during a satellite pass or portable operation.

For integration with the wider amateur radio ecosystem, the logs can be exported in the industry-standard ADIF format, allowing them to be easily imported into other logging software and services.

HAMQ is available worldwide via the Apple App Store as a one-time purchase. The developer has confirmed that no subscription is required.

For more information, visit the HAMQ website: https://app.hamq.net/en/

The application can be found on the Apple App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/hamq/id6754198942

Changes to AMSAT TLE Distribution for July 24, 2026

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. TLE bulletin files are updated daily in the first hour of the UTC day. New bulletin files will be posted immediately after reliable elements become available for new amateur satellites. More information may be found atÂ https://www.amsat.org/keplerian-elements-resources/.

+ This week there are no additions or deletions to the AMSAT TLE distribution.

General Perturbations Data Support

AMSAT is pleased to announce that modern forms of what are called General Perturbations data are being disseminated via modern formats including JSON, XML and KVN at https://newark192.amsat.org/gpdata/current/. The reason this change is being made is that we are running out of 5-digit catalog numbers and the TLE format is not viable for satellites launched after July of this year. See https://celestrak.org/NORAD/documentation/gp-data-formats.php for details.

These data are presently considered in beta test for the next two months while hosted on the test server newark192.amsat.org, and we are very open to community feedback at webmaster [at] amsat.org. Testers may experience outages and errors while we make improvements. We intend to put this into production on our main web server in July as we expect that satellites launched after this summer will require one of the new formats to accommodate longer object numbers. AMSAT will continue to publish TLE bulletins for satellites launched before July 2026 indefinitely.

Designed for beginners with no electronic background, the five-day course teaches basic tube radio troubleshooting through split daily sessions of instruction and lab work. MRT provides all tools, test equipment, and a radio to keep, though students may bring their own pre-approved, transformerless, point-to-point five-tube radio. Participants must bring a 3-ring binder, pencil, scientific calculator, and cover their own lodging and meals, aside from a provided Friday pizza lunch. Classes are strictly limited to six participants (minimum three), and interested individuals can sign up or get questions answered by contacting Bob Ripley at mratwv@gmail.com. [ANS thanks Museum of Radio and Technology for the above information.]

+ SpaceX recently launched the Transporter-17 rideshare mission from California, carrying 81 payloads including the innovative BOHR CubeSat. Developed by City Labs, the BOHR satellite is recognized as the worldâs first commercial nuclear-powered spacecraft. While the satellite relies on standard solar panels for its main flight operations, its payload utilizes a proprietary NanoTritium betavoltaic power source. This technology converts energy directly from tritium decay into electricity, bypassing traditional limitations like sunlight or battery exhaustion. Furthermore, the mission marks a regulatory milestone, securing official clearance under the FAAâs specialized pathway for space nuclear launches. Ultimately, this successful demonstration paves the way for reliable, routine commercial nuclear energy deployment in space. [ANS thanks Space.com for the above information.

+ Australian quantum technology company QuantX Labs has achieved a historic world first by successfully commissioning an optical frequency comb in orbit. Supported by the Australian Space Agencyâs Moon to Mars Demonstrator Program, the payload launched aboard a SpaceX rideshare mission from California. This crucial milestone validates years of research, proving that advanced Australian quantum technology can survive launch and operate reliably in the harsh space environment. By converting ultra-stable optical signals into electronic timing data, the frequency comb acts as a vital building block for next-generation optical atomic clocks. The successful demonstration significantly reduces technical risk for QuantX Labsâ KAIROS program as it targets a full optical atomic clock launch in 2027. Ultimately, these ultra-precise space-based timing systems will greatly enhance positioning, navigation, and critical ground infrastructure like communications and financial networks.

U.S. Space Force Satellite Catalog Reaches Six-Digit Numbers

The U.S. Space Force's authoritative satellite catalog entered a new era on July 11, 2026, when newly assigned catalog numbers advanced from the five-digit sequence ending at 69,999 directly to six-digit catalog number 100,000. Space-Track announced the change and advised users to review its Alpha-5 information and frequently asked questions to ensure that Two-Line Element (TLE) and Three-Line Element (3LE) parsers, along with API queries, remain compatible with the expanded numbering system. The milestone marks the beginning of permanent six-digit catalog numbers for newly cataloged space objects.

The milestone was reached with the cataloging of Saramago, also known as LusÃada 3, one of four Portuguese communications satellites developed by LusoSpace. Named in honor of Nobel Prize-winning author JosÃ© Saramago, the satellite is part of the LusÃada constellation, which uses Automatic Identification System (AIS) and VHF Data Exchange System (VDES) technology to improve maritime safety, vessel tracking, weather reporting, and ocean data services. The transition occurred one day earlier than CelesTrak had predicted.

Although the traditional TLE format has served the satellite community for decades, its fixed-field design was never intended to accommodate six-digit catalog numbers. Space-Track is maintaining compatibility through its Alpha-5 encoding system, while CelesTrak will distribute General Perturbations (GP) data for catalog numbers 100,000 and above using modern formats such as JSON, XML, CSV, and Key-Value Notation (KVN). These newer formats also eliminate the long-standing two-digit year limitation inherited from the legacy TLE format.

CelesTrak began supporting the modern GP formats in May 2020, giving software developers several years to prepare for the eventual transition. AMSAT likewise anticipated the change by introducing GP data distribution through its Orbital Elements service. Joe Fitzgerald, KM1P, AMSAT Orbital Elements Manager, announced that AMSAT would provide orbital elements in JSON, XML, and KVN formats while continuing to publish traditional TLE bulletins indefinitely for satellites cataloged before the six-digit transition.

For most amateur satellite operators, the change will be largely transparent when tracking existing satellites. However, software that assumes all catalog numbers contain no more than five numeric digits may require updates before it can process newly cataloged spacecraft. Developers and operators of satellite tracking applications, automated ground stations, and custom scripts are encouraged to verify compatibility with Alpha-5 encoded TLEs or one of the newer GP data formats.

While the transition may appear to be a simple numbering change, it represents one of the most significant updates to satellite orbital data distribution in decades. As launch rates continue to increase and the number of tracked satellites and debris objects grows, six-digit catalog numbers and modern orbital data formats will ensure the U.S. Space Force's authoritative satellite catalog continues to support both the amateur and professional space communities for years to come.

NASA's New Horizons Spacecraft Awakens from Record Hibernation

NASA's New Horizons spacecraft has awakened from its longest hibernation period ever and resumed active operations as it continues its pioneering exploration of the Kuiper Belt beyond Pluto. Flight controllers confirmed on June 23 that the spacecraft had safely emerged from a 321-day hibernation that began on Aug. 7, 2025. Now approximately 5.9 billion miles (9.5 billion kilometers) from Earth, New Horizons remains healthy and is preparing to return stored science data collected during its dormant period. The spacecraft continues to operate far beyond Pluto as one of humanity's most distant active planetary science missions.

The successful wake-up demonstrates the remarkable reliability of autonomous spacecraft operations across the vast distances of the outer solar system. Commands directing the spacecraft to awaken were uploaded nearly a year earlier before New Horizons entered hibernation. Because radio signals now require approximately 8 hours and 52 minutes to travel one way between Earth and the spacecraft, confirmation of the wake-up reached mission controllers through NASA's Deep Space Network station near Madrid, Spain, nearly nine hours after it was transmitted. Such long communication delays require the spacecraft to perform routine operations independently while awaiting instructions from Earth.

Mission teams periodically place New Horizons into hibernation during extended cruise phases to conserve onboard resources and reduce operational demands while continuing valuable scientific observations. During hibernation, operators do not send routine commands or retrieve stored data, but the spacecraft continues collecting measurements using several science instruments. Throughout the 321-day hibernation period, New Horizons transmitted a weekly health-status beacon indicating that all systems were functioning normally. According to Mission Operations Manager Alice Bowman, every weekly status report received during the hibernation period was "green," confirming the spacecraft remained in excellent health.

With the spacecraft once again fully operational, engineers will first review spacecraft health and safety data before beginning the download of scientific observations collected during hibernation. The Alice ultraviolet spectrograph will soon begin new observations of hydrogen gas in the outer heliosphere, while the Solar Wind Around Pluto (SWAP) instrument, the Pluto Energetic Particle Spectrometer Science Investigation (PEPSSI), and the Venetia Burney Student Dust Counter continue monitoring the space environment in the distant reaches of the solar system. The mission team is also completing upgrades to ground-system software that will simplify long-term spacecraft operations.

Engineers have also updated the spacecraft's onboard autonomy software to support operations even farther from the Sun. The improvements account for the gradual decline in electrical power produced by New Horizons' radioisotope power system and the steadily increasing communications delay as the spacecraft travels deeper into interstellar space. These enhancements will allow the spacecraft to continue conducting scientific observations with minimal intervention from Earth while remaining responsive to changing mission conditions.

Launched in January 2006, New Horizons became the fastest spacecraft ever launched at the time and completed a gravity-assist flyby of Jupiter in 2007 before making humanity's first close exploration of Pluto in July 2015. The spacecraft later performed the first flyby of a Kuiper Belt object, Arrokoth, on Jan. 1, 2019, and has continued studying the Kuiper Belt, the outer heliosphere, and the space environment beyond the planets. More than two decades after launch, New Horizons continues expanding our understanding of the outer solar system while demonstrating the remarkable capabilities of long-duration deep-space communications and autonomous spacecraft operations.

Scientists Building Massive Deep Synoptic Array in Nevada Desert

A new radio telescope planned for Nevada could dramatically change how astronomers observe the radio universe. The Deep Synoptic Array (DSA), a project led by the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), recently passed its final design review, clearing the way for construction of what researchers describe as the most sensitive radio telescope ever built.

When completed, the array will consist of 1,650 radio dishes spread across an area approximately 12 by 10 miles (20 by 16 kilometers). The telescope is designed to combine the sensitivity normally associated with giant single-dish observatories with the sharp imaging capabilities of large interferometer arrays. Science operations are expected to begin near the end of the decade.

Researchers say the DSA will survey the sky at a pace far beyond existing radio observatories. Current radio telescopes have collectively identified approximately 20 million radio sources, but project scientists estimate the DSA could detect a similar number during its first day of operation. Over the course of its initial survey, the telescope is expected to catalog nearly one billion radio-emitting objects.

Among the telescope's most ambitious goals is the study of fast radio bursts, pulsars, black holes, and other transient phenomena. The system will continuously monitor large portions of the sky, allowing astronomers to rapidly locate brief events that might otherwise be missed. The telescope is also expected to support follow-up observations of gravitational-wave detections and could discover more than 20,000 previously unknown pulsars.

A key feature of the project is a real-time processing system that developers describe as a "radio camera." Rather than recording massive quantities of raw data for later analysis, the system will create science-ready radio images as observations are collected. This approach dramatically reduces storage requirements while allowing observations to be shared quickly with researchers around the world.

The Deep Synoptic Array also incorporates several unusual engineering solutions aimed at reducing costs while maintaining performance. Among them is the use of specially modified aluminum cake pans manufactured by the bakeware company Fat Daddio's as components within the antenna feed system. Combined with room-temperature receivers, GPU-based processing, and a high-speed fiber-optic network, the innovations demonstrate how modern radio astronomy increasingly relies on advances in both computing and manufacturing to explore the universe.

Changes to AMSAT TLE Distribution for July 17, 2026

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. TLE bulletin files are updated daily in the first hour of the UTC day. New bulletin files will be posted immediately after reliable elements become available for new amateur satellites. More information may be found at https://www.amsat.org/keplerian-elements-resources/.

+ This week there are no additions or deletions to the AMSAT TLE distribution.

AMSAT Ambassador Activities

AMSAT Ambassadors provide presentations, demonstrate communicating through amateur satellites, and host information tables at club meetings, hamfests, conventions, maker faires, and other events.

AMSAT Ambassador Clint Bradford, K6LCS, says,

“Think a 75-minute presentation on “working the easy satellites” would be appropriate for your club or event? Let me know by emailing me at k6lcsclint [at] gmail [dot] com or calling me at 909-999-SATS (7287)!”

Clint has NEVER given the exact same show twice: EACH of the 150+ presentations so far has been customized/tailored to their audiences.

A Full Eclipse is awarded to participants who complete the entire Bird Chaser Bingo operating card, the event's most demanding achievement. Bird Chaser Bingo encourages amateur radio satellite operators to complete a variety of operating objectives involving contacts, grids, satellites, and special operating situations throughout the summer. Operators may also earn recognition by completing traditional bingo patterns while working toward a Full Eclipse. The event continues through August 31, 2026, with completed cards due by September 15, 2026. Additional information and downloadable bingo cards are available at https://borgersons.com/. (ANS thanks Sean Borgerson, KK7OVF, for the above information)

+ A new satellite tracking application for iPhone and iPad, AllMySat, is now available for amateur radio operators and satellite enthusiasts. The app combines live satellite tracking with pass predictions, antenna alignment tools, and customizable alerts to assist operators in the field. It includes a 3D globe, a 2D map, and augmented reality viewing modes, along with a catalog of more than 34,000 satellites, rocket bodies, and debris objects. According to the developer, orbital data is updated every six hours using recognized space data sources, and additional features include Doppler correction, satellite frequency information, and launch tracking. A free version is available, with an optional premium subscription offering expanded capabilities such as extended prediction windows and data export. Additional information is available at https://allmysat.com and the application can be downloaded from Apple's App Store. (ANS thanks AllMySat for the above information)

+ NASA astronaut Anil Menon and Roscosmos cosmonauts Pyotr Dubrov and Anna Kikina launched aboard the Soyuz MS-29 spacecraft from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on July 14. The Soyuz rocket lifted off at 1447 UTC and successfully placed the crew into orbit for a fast rendezvous with the International Space Station. The spacecraft docked with the ISS after a two-orbit flight, where the trio joined the station's Expedition crew. Menon is making his first spaceflight, while Dubrov and Kikina are each beginning their second missions to the orbiting laboratory. The crew is expected to spend approximately eight months aboard the ISS conducting scientific research and supporting station operations. Menon's research will include experiments in semiconductor crystal growth and AI-assisted medical ultrasound techniques that could benefit future long-duration space missions. (ANS thanks Space.com for the above information)

+ The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has authorized Reflect Orbital to launch its experimental EÃ¤rendil-1 satellite, which will test the use of a large reflective film to redirect sunlight onto selected areas of Earth during nighttime. Operating from a planned 625-kilometer low Earth orbit, the technology demonstration will evaluate whether an 18-meter reflector can briefly illuminate areas several kilometers across. Reflect Orbital says the concept could eventually support emergency response, remote construction projects, and nighttime solar energy applications. The proposal has drawn criticism from astronomy organizations and dark-sky advocates, who warn that reflected sunlight could increase light pollution, interfere with astronomical observations, and affect wildlife. The FCC noted that the authorization applies only to a single experimental satellite and that any future constellation would require additional regulatory approval. If successful, the mission could open the door to a new class of space-based illumination systems while renewing debate over their impact on the night sky.
