I will note that my phone is on “extended network” up here, but it is also on WiFi. Not sure if being out of the normal cell range makes a difference.?

Hi Joe

We’ve been absent for a few weeks for various reasons. We are currently at my dad’s place in Montana. I tried to connect via EchoLink but it appears my app isn’t working (just says “logging in” and does nothing else).?

Don't pass up this opportunity to learn how to use WebSDR sites. You can experiment with bands, modes, bandwidth, filters, and so much more.

special ISS Field Day pass (with graphic)

 

开云体育

(resent, apparently the original emali and graphic didn't? go thru.)


??? For those early risers on 25 June, maybe you're working 80 or 40m for FD, the ISS will pass parallel to the arc of the 5 planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn)

??? Given clear skies, it should be a rare and beautiful event.

??? The times on the graphic are UTC, which translate to 03:37 to 03:34? AZ time.

??? ISS should appear suddenly at 03:37 AZ time next to Saturn, and move to the NE by 03:42.

??? Good luck!

Jim, KF7E



Steve Knab, KG7BME, Silent Key

 

Our friend, and member of the Queen Creek Emergency Communications Group, Steve - KG7BME, passed on this past Monday evening, June 13th.

Steve had a tough time in the last few years with diabetes and kidney failure which led to severe complications. I learned from his son, Mike (W5FTL), that Steve recently experienced serious complications from an infection and pneumonia which led to sepsis. He passed quickly with his wife by his side.

Steve joined QCECG years ago, presenting District 4A's report during our weekly Sunday net every week without fail. Steve also participated in our drills and support of Town events. He was probably the single most regular net participant in our history.

Our sincerest condolences to his family, friends, and fellow members of District 4A, represented by our Co-Leader, Ron Earl, K7RWE.

I've included a few photos of Steve that I was able to grab off the Internet.

Rest in peace Steve,

Joe, N2QOJ
