All Amateur Radio operators, Cert Team members, and their families are invited to our Polk ARES Christmas Get-together this Saturday, December 12th, at the Polk County EOC. Doors will open around 5 PM and we will start cooking burgers & dogs around 5:45. Polk Emergency Management will be providing the burgers and dogs, we just need to provide some condiments, sides, deserts and what ever you want to drink (no alcohol, please!). Please let me know if you will be attending, number of guests and what you will be bringing so we don't get too many duplicates. So we don't send a lot of emails to everyone, please reply directly to me at w4xds at outlook.com and I will periodically reply back to the group as a summary. We need: buns sides like mac & cheese, etc. and desserts! Please let know as soon as you can about attending so I can give a headcount to Paul. Hope to see everyone there!

The first session is being targeted for Dec 26-27 (subject to change) to celebrate 15 years of ARISS school contacts with the ISS crew. The down link mode will be PD120 which should allow for the opportunity to receive more images in a single pass. Watch for updates and additional information as it becomes available. The ISS puts out a strong signal on 145.800 MHz FM and a 2m handheld with a 1/4 wave antenna should be enough to receive it. The FM transmission uses 5 kHz deviation which is standard in much of the world. In IARU Region 1 (British Isles, Europe, Africa) FM equipment is usually set by default to the narrower 2.5 kHz deviation. Many FM rigs can be switched been wide and narrow deviation FM filters. For best results you should select the filter for wider deviation FM. Handhelds all seem to have a single wide filter fitted as standard.
