can we build a jammer satellite ? to jam radar and missile guidance systems
so that no more military "mistakes' can shoot down a commercial airliner like MH-17 in 2014 ?
things are getting kind of weird at the border again over there
i and the innocent souls THANK you
it was 283 passengers and 15 crew in 2014
The case will be tried in absentia as none of the suspects will appear at the Dutch court. Russia does not extradite its own citizens.
It said the crash was caused by the detonation of a Russian-made 9N314M-type warhead carried on the 9M38M1 missile, launched from the eastern part of Ukraine using a Buk missile system.
KFoG planning for the worst, hoping for the best 73
SDR Sharp
anyone know or remember what the last version of SDR# was that had
the collapsible left side menus and that you don't need to install
the Dot Net framework?
I'm not too keen on this latest version.
Thanks

ARISS is the groupthat puts together special amateur radio contacts between students around theglobe and crew members with ham radio licenses on the International Space Station (ISS).
This will be a telebridge contact via amateur radio and students will take turnsasking their questions of Matthias Maurer, amateurradio call sign KI5KFH. LocalCovid-19 protocols are adhered to as applicable for each ARISS contact. The downlink frequency for this contact is 437.525MHZ and may be heard by listeners that are within the ISS-footprint that alsoencompasses the telebridge station.
ARISSteam member Shane Lynd, using call sign VK4KHZ from an amateur radio clubstation in Glenden, Queensland, Australia will serve as the relay amateur radiostation.

WKR is part of the MINT (STEM) network with special focus onmathematics, computer science, natural science and technology. WKR incorporatedcourse materials in advance of the ARISS contact that included information on lifein space on the ISS (required astronaut training), artificial satellites, and scientificresearch onboard the ISS. In preparation for this contact, studentsparticipated in several activities which included: launching a balloon with anonboard transmitter (which included an environmental experiment), building a model of the ISS in a specialworkshop, and visiting the DLR Satellite Ground Station in Weilheim and/or theColumbus Control Center in Oberpfaffenhofen.

ARISS Contact Applications (United States)
Sept. 11, 2021 --- The Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) Program is seeking formal and informal education institutions and organizations, individually or working together, to host an Amateur Radio contact with a crew member on board the ISS. ARISS anticipates that the contact would be held between July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022. Crew scheduling and ISS orbits will determine the exact contact dates. To maximize these radio contact opportunities, ARISS is looking for organizations that will draw large numbers of participants and integrate the contact into a well-developed education plan.
The deadline to submit a proposal was November 24th, 2021 and has now closed. (***)
For future proposal information and more details such as expectations, proposal guidelines and proposal form, and dates and times of Information Webinars, go to www.ariss.org.

Hello Everyone,
I have two Dual-Band 2 Meter/440 Yagi's that I would like to use on a
Rotator, with one in the vertical polarity and one in horizontal.
Is there a phasing circuit or system that someone can recomend to allow
both of these antennas to coexist on one coax input to my radio?
Thanks,
Brian

Hi Brian,
I would choose RHCP on VHF in case you want to receive NOAA APT, and LHCP
on UHF so that it's cross polarized with VHF, to minimize cross-talk and
desense.
Most of the amateur satellites are linearly polarized, so RHCP vs. LHCP
won't make a difference for those. You'll have about +1 dBi maximum gain
for all cases.
It wouldn't be my first choice for working satellites, but of course it
depends on what application you have in mind.
