Been a bit lax in playing radio for a few years. HOA and the last two townhouses have been a horror for antenna. Getting back to free-range radio soon as I have a new Icom 705. Digital Modes, APRS, ISS, General Class mischief.

Quick update regarding the scheduled ARISS crossband voice repeater outage this week for Thursday's EVA.

The Columbus module radio will be powered off slightly earlier than previously announced. It will still occur on Wednesday, but now at 17:35 UTC (12:35 PM ET).

Finally got around to rebuilding my WPSD based #DMR hotspot. Now to get my software running so I can program things in the radio if I need to add groups.

A solar storm could cartwheel its way to Earth in time for New Years! Check out the details inside this week's #SpaceWeatherWoman forecast. There is a chance we could see aurora down to mid-latitudes through January 2. Radio blackout risk rises too! https://www.patreon.com/posts/146980725

Listening for the #ariss #sstv pass on RS-38S just a bit ago. Nothing heard. Will switch antennas for the next pass, then probably have to wait to try again tonight.

If you missed out on the chance to get the SSTV Series 30 images via the ISS, there's an event coming up to fulfill that need.

Satellite RS-38S will begin transmitting these images "within the next 5-7 days". Not all details are finalized, but what we know is below!

Thanks for your reports that SSTV seems to be off during multiple recent passes.

We did receive some early decodes into the gallery followed by these notes on social media.

The ops team is investigating and we'll share updates when available.

All systems nominal for the ARISS radios today. So, have some fun making voice and APRS contacts!

Remember, beginning Wed. 12-Nov, SSTV Series 30 will replace APRS for 9 days, so get those packets sent while you can!

You know that Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) was the first educational payload on the station! So we are going to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the ISS in style!

Get ready for an SSTV event covering parts of 9 days! It's scheduled to kick off on Wed. November 12.

Reminder that due to a conflict with some activities on the ISS, there will be no SSTV event this weekend.

Teams are working to reschedule in mid-November. Please watch our feed for info as it's available.
The schedule on the ISS has created a conflict with this weekend's planned SSTV event.

Due to some EVA's (spacewalks) the ARISS Series 30 SSTV event will be rescheduled. It's now targeted for mid-November.

Started a @flightradar24.com ADS-B receiver today, quick and easy with some spare parts I had laying around my home office (spare for a geek, that is). One @raspberrypi.com and a SDR stick and I was off and running. Hint, update/upgrade after initial setup got the only kink I had ironed out.
