After two successful tests of the Telebridge/Phone Patch capabilities here at our station, we are ready to support a school contact! ARISS has scheduled a Multipoint Telebridge contact using our station for next Thursday.
We’ve added some upgrades to our Space Communications Ground station to accommodate ARISS contacts with the ISS. The additions include:

Join Us for Our After Meeting Nets on 40m
Abby Finchum, AB1BY – A NARS Net Control Operator Running a Special Event
CQ All Hams! The Nashua Area Radio Society will hold our new after meeting nets on or around 7.260 MHz LSB. We will post an update on the final frequency here just before our nets begin. We hope that these nets will give our members and guests a chance to communicate and socialize with each other. Folks who join us for the preceding online meetings will also be able to monitor the after meeting nets via the online share.
We learned a great deal about Amateur Radio Station Construction as part of building our station. The AB1OC-AB1QB station project involved the construction of a dedicated room for a new shack. We also put up a tower-based antenna system. It took Anita and I about 1 1/2 years to build our station. We covered quite a number of areas during the project…
Many folks are stuck at home right now. As a result of the Pandemic, many of us cannot go out to see friends and do their usual activities. We know that many Hams are looking around on the Internet for Amateur Radio project ideas and information. In an effort to help, we recently spent some time organizing all of the information on our blog, https://stationproject.blog concerning Amateur Radio Station construction.
AB1OC-AB1QB Tower and Antennas
There is lots of information on shack design and construction, tower and antenna building, and much more on our Blog. The link above contains lots of information including pictures, videos and how-to information on station-building. There is also a “Virtual Station Tour” available which provides some videos showing our station in operation.
We hope that this article will provide some useful information, ideas, and Ham Radio fun!
