Deliberate interference to International Space Station
Hello all. I found this on the RSGB website at www.rsgb.org and just thought I would post It here.....
The RSGB are dismayed to learn that a small group of AM enthusiasts based in the West Lothian district of Scotland continue to cause what appears to be deliberate interference to the ISS downlink frequency of 145.800MHz during ISS passes. The RSGB is concerned that despite several years of negotiation with this group and a change of band allocation to move them away from the internationally agreed ISS frequency, they continue to disrupt ISS operation by their selfish disregard of their fellow radio amateurs and the Band Plan. The RSGB intends to bring the matter up formally with Ofcom at a meeting of the RSGB/Ofcom Forum in early April.

1. ARISS Chairman Frank Bauer, KA3HDO Resigns
On March 24, Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) Chairman Frank Bauer stepped down from all his ARISS responsibilities due to personal and increased work responsibilities. This included all the ARISS International Team, ARISS Operations, AMSAT-NA, and NASA responsibilities for all aspects of the program. Frank is working to ensure a seamless transition to the new leadership team. Gaston Bertels will be taking over as ARISS-I Chair until elections can be held in the Netherlands this June. Will Marchant will be taking over as the AMSAT-NA Vice President for Human Spaceflight and stepping up to fill Frank's role as AMSAT U.S. delegate to the ARISS-I team. Rosalie White will remain as the ARRL U.S. delegate. For the full press release, go to the ARISS Web page under "Latest News." http://www.rac.ca/ariss/oindex.htm
