Arrangements were made to hold a training session at the Foxdale shack this Thursday 03-Aug-06. I am now advised that the road will be closed because of the Rally and therefore it will not be possible to run the session.
Unfortunately I am already committed next Thursday and therefore I suggest next Wednesday (9th) is the next best option.
Please let me know if this is OK by commenting on this site or sending an e-mail to me gd0nfn@manx.net.

ISS Information from Matty!
SSTV test from the ISS
The ARRL reports that a test of the ARISS SSTV system aboard the International Space Station may be conducted over Russia the weekend of July 29th. This news was released by the ARRL Amateur Radio News, July 26, 2006. Expedition 13 Commander Pavel Vinogradov, RV3BS is expected to test the SSTV system over Moscow using the downlink frequency of 144.49 MHz. All amateurs within range are encouraged to receive the FM broadcast.
Those of us in other parts of the world eagerly await further testing of the amateur radio SSTV system and look forward to receiving pictures from the ISS. Additional information about the SSTV system can be found on the MAREX-MG site.

5MHz access extended until 2010!
Use of 5MHz channels has been extended until 2010. However, all NOV's
expire on 31 July 2006 so those interested in continuing with the 5MHz
experiment will have to apply for a new NOV. Apparently two extra channels
will be available. For further details see RSGB and OFCOM websites.

Have you any comments to make?
The Blog has now been reset to allow comments to be made, it would be good to hear your views on having an IOMARS cap/badge made??

Embroidered IOMARS badge for baseball cap/polo shirt.
I have had a word with Promenade T-Shirts in Douglas and have learned that
such a badge is possible and that the primary cost is the 'setting up'. For example
an order for one badge would attract the whole 'setting up' cost! Apparently, an order for at least 50, preferably 100, badges would be more economical. We shall have to decide on a number and then get a proper quotation.
