WSPR beacon KH6EJ (Hawaii) is off the air. The site hosting the beacon was severely damaged by Hurricane Lala and may be a total loss. The equipment has been recovered, and a temporary home is being worked on, but the beacon will be offline for the time being.

Looking at habhub.org it looks like there is 1 Lora aprs balloon within range of me currently! SP0LND-10. If it is still around tomorrow I will have to try when I get off work in the morning. #hamradio #lora – at Ridgeley, WV

Over the June 29th weekend, @Astro_Ayers and I participated in Ham Radio Field Day, the biggest weekend for amateur ham radio operators in North America. Held on the 4th weekend of June, it’s a social gathering of hams to extend community outreach, encourage emergency preparedness, and most importantly, have fun. Getting a contact from space is a bucket list item for a lot of hams so Vapor and I tried our best to make as many contacts as possible. I’ll be up here for a few more months and look forward to more contacts in the future. 73! @ARISS_Intl

Definitely not a permanent setup but got a 433mhz tbeam running rdz_ttgo_sonde for weather balloons! Just wish the weather would cooperate and bring the balloons close so that way I could look for them! #HamRadio
