Does weekly satellite report still exist?
by Nicholas Mahr KE8AKW 29 Jul '15

29 Jul '15

When are they going to update Oscar.dcarr.org? I emailed KD5QGR about it and no response. We need to add new satellite to the page and get rid of old ones and maybe even make the page better. 73's KE8AKW

That's excellent and just what I've been missing. :-) I think I can even save it as text file for when I'm away from the internet. KB7ADL

I used to receive the AMSAT Weekly Satellite Report but have not seen anything since 2013 (WSR-173). Does that list still exist? Dick G4BBH

I plan to operate portable tomorrow (30 July) from DM90 on SO-50. My AOS is 1522Z and it's a mid-America pass. If I work you, I'll send a QSL. No need for a SASE. I'll also upload to LoTW. 73 Glenn AA5PK DM91

ARISS SSTV Archive Update Needed Before Diploma App Can be Submitted
by John Brier 29 Jul '15

29 Jul '15

First of all, Thank you to all involved with ARISS and especially these SSTV events and the diploma process. I know you are all volunteers and just doing this in your free time. Second, I should have submitted my images earlier, but I ended up only submitting them on the 28th around 5:00 UTC I downloaded the latest image on the archive, from KE8AKW and the timestamp on the file is from the 25th. The application requires we send links to our images as they appear on the archive, and the deadline is the end of the month, so I am worried it won't be updated in time for me to submit my application. Any insight someone can offer on this? Thank you. John Brier, KG4AKV
