A great nite for building AB5SS’ CW Decoder Kit. As a terrific club effort, supporting roles from AB5SS, N8MTV, W4STU, AB4ME, and W5OC successfully handed out the CW Decoder Kits during the last club meeting and we had a night of group building at the Gilruth on Thursday.
The W5RRR station participated in the ARRL Rookie Roundup this last Sunday at 1:00pm. Joe,KG5VMC, Terry, KG5TJT, and Fred,KG5WNN each had operating time on the mic on our 20m and 40m presence, while AB4ME and W5OC provided operator control and support.
Kudos to David, KB5PGY for his dedicated support representing the JSCARC in our newest EOC support role. Earlier this year, the JSC EOC needed us to vacate our historical space in the Building 30 EOC room.
The W5RRR satellite tracking and ARISS capability had been largely unused and requiring updates for quite awhile. Enter: Keith, KG5HOK, John, AB5SS, Mike, N8MTV, Jeff, AB4ME, and Terry,KG5TJT. Keith got things rolling by acquiring SW and HW to interface our AZ-EL controller to a computer, but it still had problems.
