UPCOMING CONTESTS - THINGS TO DO

YOTA Contest, Round 2, is This Weekend

The Youngsters On The Air (YOTA) Contest, round 2, will be held

to increase the activities of youth in amateur radio. The contest is
organized by IARU Region 1 Youth Working Group, in cooperation with the Hungarian Amateur Radio Society. For more information, visit their
website at www.ham-yota.com/contest/

Lunar Landing EME SSTV Party

July 21 marks 53 years since Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon. To
celebrate this historic event the C.A. Muller Radio Astronomy Station <https://www.camras.nl/en/about-the-radio-telescope/> in the
Netherlands will activate PI9CAM on 1296.110 MHz using SSTV mode
Martin-2. The station will transmit several lunar landing and space
related images starting about 0730 UTC on July 21 and will continue
operation until their moonset. Amateurs are also encouraged to attempt
SSTV QSOs with the station as well.

the space age struck Earth. However, it didn't come from the sun. You
can read more about this phenomenon in Dr. Tony Phillip's article,
"Starfish Prime: The First Accidental Geomagnetic Storm," at spaceweatherarchive.com/2022/07/08/starfish-prime-the-first-accidental-geomagnetic-storm/
<https://spaceweatherarchive.com/2022/07/08/starfish-prime-the-first-accidental-geomagnetic-storm/>.
