ISS soon to be a memory #ARRL #hamradio

It was surely sad to read that ISS was going to end but …

 

Many have also enjoyed a QSO with the OKIE Owen Garriot, W5LFL, getting on MIR on packet, and contacts with the space shuttles on FM.

Looking forward to the TEVEL birds making FM satellites fun.

Station activity #ARRL #hamradio

Some folks question don't seem to know what to do with amateur radio.  The answer is as simple as what do you WANT to do?

Contesting is popular ... or not.  Getting that elusive North Dakota contact for your Worked All States is a challenge.

Each month, QST lists Special Event Stations on the air.  More and more are including digital voice, ex. Dstar, Fusion, M17, etc.  and analog operations such as Allstar, Echolink, and IRLP.

The popular contest calendar  gets you current on contests, including special bands, ex. 10 meters and State QSO parties
