A special ARISS-Russia SSTV event is on the ISS scheduled beginning May 5 at 12:00 UTC. This is a celebration commemorating a regional holiday.

This will impact the availability of APRS. Monitor 145.800 MHz for potential activity during passes.

You can never have enough mains power filtering. New consumer unit fitting in the new shack next.

Happy Birthday, #Amsat #Oscar7, 50 years ago, on November 15, 1974, lifted off as secondary load of NOAA4. Despite being low budget, after half a century it is still operative - probably the oldest working satellite.
