The site was originally being maintained by LU7ABF and had become defunct when domain name expired after he became SK. LU4CJP who is keen on maintaining the great legacy of his father LU7ABF, has kindly renewed the domain and the site is functional again. youtu.be/NzVeTqX1YBo

Never knew that outdoor camping and water sports were part of the training for an astronaut! Hope VU2TNI has come out successfully!

There was a pass of International Space Station starting at 7:19 IST (UTC+5.5) today morning. Though it was only of maximum elevation of about 36 degrees, we had plenty of VU stations and E21EJC Krissada F. coming in very well. youtu.be/cAUKGpRzS5A

I have been told that working LEOs at such high latitudes is really tough. So you should be complimented for establishing a record on a QRP satellite like HADES-R. Hope Paul Stoetzer will update amsat.org/satellite-dist… soon. 73

HADES-ICM (SO-125), the Latest FM Satellite was passing near my region today morning with maximum elevation of about 24 degrees on the Eastern side. youtu.be/dypNaYDpjyk There is a report at 6:49 UTC from Will / AL9D mentioning telemetry only! So voice transponder was inactive?

Operating a visible pass of International Space Station! As I operate indoors, when I am able to see the pass, I am not operating! Occasionally we view with family, for the thrill of it, missing the opportunity to work an excellent pass.

Excellent pass of ARISS - Amateur Radio on the ISS coming up in my region. Expecting a good pileup, being a Sunday evening pass. I will be pointing my Moxon Yagi towards the beginning of the pass looking for some DX from A4/A6 region. If there is no rain, I might rotate the antenna again for VU.
