SPAR Announces Winter Field Day 2009

Field Day is perhaps the most popular of the many activities enjoyed by Amateurs. Every June the bands come alive with improvised signals proving the ability to respond to emergencies. The event also offers an opportunity for camaraderie and a chance to test ourselves in less than ideal circumstances, however, emergencies and natural disasters don't always happen in the summer. Winter winds, icy limbs and bitter cold replace the thunderstorms and blistering heat of summer. To test our abilities to operate in the winter, in 2007 SPAR established a Winter Field Day event and invited all Amateur Radio operators to participate. In both 2007 and 2008 the event was enjoyed by many and considered a success and has been designated an annual event to be held the last full weekend each January. Therefore it is time to issue the invitation for the Third Annual SPAR Winter Field Day!

From ariss-sstv.blogspot.com

Several operators are reporting that ISS is transmitting test images today (Oct 12) beginning about 1700 UTC. Two formats have been reported. Robot-36 (which is anticipated for most of Garriott's flight) and Martin-1. Several operators have uploaded these test images to the ARISS SSTV gallery. These test images will likely be removed to make way for the Garriott images when they begin coming down.

The following are examples of images received from the ISS (of Exp. 17 Commander, Sergei Volkov) by CT1EAT and N1JEZ.
