“Enjoy! .. thought this would be great to show to the club. The first image started recording as the ISS was rising, hence the noise at the top of the image. Transmission stopped well in advance of setting over the horizon, so the next two images are decent.
The first test of an HF Triplexer in the W5RRR shack was successful.
A Triplexer converts a single user TH7DX tribander to be split out into 3 independent antennas ports on 20m, 15m, and 10m for simultaneous operation.
19 hams from JSCARC and CLARC supported the JSC Aliens versus Astronauts fun run. Ham teams demonstrated flexibility and resourcefulness to adopt to last minute and unexpected course map and coordination changes. Kudos to David, KB5PGY, who ran a tightly controlled Net Control. David also gave several members a chance to run NCS as part of … Read more…
A great nite for building AB5SS’ CW Decoder Kit. As a terrific club effort, supporting roles from AB5SS, N8MTV, W4STU, AB4ME, and W5OC successfully handed out the CW Decoder Kits during the last club meeting and we had a night of group building at the Gilruth on Thursday.
The W5RRR station participated in the ARRL Rookie Roundup this last Sunday at 1:00pm. Joe,KG5VMC, Terry, KG5TJT, and Fred,KG5WNN each had operating time on the mic on our 20m and 40m presence, while AB4ME and W5OC provided operator control and support.
Kudos to David, KB5PGY for his dedicated support representing the JSCARC in our newest EOC support role. Earlier this year, the JSC EOC needed us to vacate our historical space in the Building 30 EOC room.
The W5RRR satellite tracking and ARISS capability had been largely unused and requiring updates for quite awhile. Enter: Keith, KG5HOK, John, AB5SS, Mike, N8MTV, Jeff, AB4ME, and Terry,KG5TJT. Keith got things rolling by acquiring SW and HW to interface our AZ-EL controller to a computer, but it still had problems.
Back in November, JSCARC took part in the ARRL Phone Sweepstakes (see ARRL November Sweepstakes Recap). The goal is to sweep all sections (83; this is a multiplier for your total score) and to log as many QSOs as possible.
Hold onto your horses! The newest FT8 
HF Digital Mode is growing like wildfire.
