Here I was assuming the LoTW website requiring me to log in every time I clicked a link was an issue on their end, and I just had to delete the ARRL cookies. lol

Cool website about Numbers Stations!

Mail call! First card from China BA1PK! A few from Douglas Tabor, N6UA, and a couple POTA contacts.

Cool pic taken by KB8RUA

Some more pics/videos of yesterday's demo.

Wondering why the ISS FM repeater is off? Radio was in-use by crew on 145.800 @ 2000utc! No reply to calls (145.800 simplex nor 144.490 uplink), but right at my LOS (after a half-dozen CQ's) they seemed to reach who they were calling for. Audio--> qsl.net/k/k4kdr//audio…

Travelling to see friends for the next week in VA, WV, and MD. Will be doing POTA occasionally holiday style. Just activated US-3974 on 20m in VA. 12 QSOs.

A little satmatch PSA: we will likely have some downtime the first few days of August as some hosting provider changes take place that I haven't been able to accommodate yes as I'm on travel. Search for and print your early August passes now. Satmatch.com pls RT

Will try the 14:20z RS-44 pass from EM98 West Virginia. Top half of passband.

So far I've made 161 contacts on this road trip. Working from 3k feet elevation to West Coast easily plus DX like Morocco and Russia on 20m was very fun last night. Now I'm in Baltimore.

Recent solar activity pushed the aurora closer to us. The Soyuz hangs from the station in a stream of aurora. Soyuz is illuminated in a light blue from a sun behind the camera and in front of the space station that is just about to rise. 1/4s, f1.4, 50mm, ISO 6400
