Celebrating W5LFL from space
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is celebrating the life and accomplishments of astronaut, scientist and amateur radio pioneer Owen Garriott, W5LFL, who became a silent key earlier this year.
There may just be time to catch the end of the commemorative slow-scan television event featuring images from his work with ham radio during his missions in space.
Transmissions began on 1 August 2019 and are scheduled to continue until 1815UTC on 4 August 2019.
Transmissions will be on 145.800MHz FM using SSTV mode PD-120.
Received images may be posted, so visit ariss.org for updates and more information.
