We have daily STEM contacts coming up on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday next week from the International Space Station Columbus module.

Students in Poland, Italy and the US will get the chance to ask questions of the ISS crew via ham radio.

Details in the graphic!

Videos: Mikeโ€™s Insights on the POTA20 Ground Spike and a clever Tripod Antennaย Hack! Over the past few weeks, my buddy Mike (KE8PTX) has quietly made several YouTube videos I thought I'd share here on QRPer.com. By the way, Mike is the fellow behind the new Explorer POTA20 Carbon Fiber Mast Ground Spike. You may have seen me use this in a recent field report and activation video. Ground Spikes In Mike's first video, he describes the evolution of the POTA20 (and Carbon 6) ground spike system and its variations.

It is satellite intelligence game time!

Find the geo, tell us what the equipment/installation is!

I think there is a high risk this one would have been falsely categorized had it been Cold war and spot behind Iron Curtain.

Answer tomorrow =)

"We migrated key functions from Windows to Linux because we needed an operating system that was stable and reliable -- one that would give us in-house control. So if we needed to patch, adjust, or adapt, we could." -- United Space Alliance, which manages the computer systems for the ISS.

I created a simple Python program to sort and filter POTA Parks based on distance and activation count...

Source code on GitHub, linked in the post. It's certainly full of bugs, but, works on my PC! ๐Ÿ˜‰
