I was able to capture a couple of SSTV images on an 87* #ISS pass during the #ariss #SSTV experiment today (10/09/2024) at 2059 UTC over EM78ee

If you are at #DEFCON, check out the #AMSAT #CubeSat Simulator at the Aerospace Village! 🛰️📡

It will be part of RC Jones workshop “How to Corrupt Youth to Cyber Focused Space Science” on Sunday 8/11

"Why is the [#hamradio] hobby dying? Because a bunch of cantankerous old men demean and condemn the new and exciting and cutting edge aspects of amateur radio that made it so interesting in the first place. And are super vocal about it."

-from an email I received about a big new movement in citizen science radio work.

Next July, I'll be helping these people put on a really nice event.

A lot of us have left amateur radio, but haven't forgotten what amateur radio was supposed to be about. All of us - and a growing number of organizers and leaders - are thinking much broader and much more inclusive, picking up #opensource teams, industry groups, and authentically and kindly serving people that legacy and traditional organizations have forgotten, hate on, or outright exclude.

On the "naughty list" are #ARDC, #ARRL, and #AMSAT. Odd how they all start with the letter "A".

Maybe I need to put all my blogger essays on Medium?

It's been a long strange trip.

Bizarro behavior from #AMSAT. Bizarro behavior from a CalTech employee who freaked out over a woman putting together a ham radio exam for a volunteer fire department. Dark Crystal Sketsi powermongers at #ARRL. And. the hyperventilating cash humpers at various companies and ham clubs frantically chasing windfall cash from ARDC, who secretly sold one of the best community assets #hamradio had.
