It's that time of year! I encourage all Boston area hams to sign up, it's a great event to support and is almost like the Super Bowl of public service volunteering because of how many hams are needed to pull it off successfully.
How many you ask?
300!
Anyways, just do it!

Fewer than 12 hours until the first of 2 HamTV transmissions from the ISS Saturday.
The HamTV unit is scheduled to send "tone and bars" during the 08:15 UTC pass.
Live video from the ISS will be attempted during the 09:51 UTC pass for the STEM contact with the UK.

Well I guess I won't be using the Motorola XPR 7550 at Head of the Charles since:
1. The ICS-205 changed.
2. The codeplug is a bitch to program.
2. I'm not really in the mood to hexedit the CPS so I can use 25khz...
Looks like I'll use the Yaesu FT-5D instead or maybe my Anytone 868.
