/////////////////////////////////////////// Irvine, California High-School Students Hoping to Launch Satellite: Posted: 27 Mar 2016 04:22 AM PDT http://www.eham.net/articles/36449 IRVINE, Calif. (KABC) -- Students at five Irvine high schools are working to build a working miniature satellite that they hope to launch into space next year. The idea for the program came from two dads who live on the same street in Irvine in October. Brent Freeze and Kain Sosa were hoping to instill their own children and other kids with their same love for the STEM fields - science, technology, engineering and math. "Trying to do something big in space would help inspire these students, keep them interested in STEM maybe help nurture their development along," Freeze said. /////////////////////////////////////////// Boxboro Convention Call for Speakers: Posted: 27 Mar 2016 04:20 AM PDT http://www.eham.net/articles/36445 Don't just attend Boxboro 2016‚ BE A PART OF IT!

For those who do not know, a dongle is defined as "a small device able to be connected to and used with a computer, especially to allow access to wireless broadband or use of protected software." Technically, a flash drive is a dongle, but Kravchenko's was a chip that contained all software and hardware to interface with a wide range of communication channels, broadcast and television. Students involved in the Amateur Radio Club work with devices like this weekly at club meetings to explore the growing field of communications technologies. David Icove, professor in electrical engineering and computer science and faculty advisor to the group, has seen the club's participation fluctuate over the years, from over 20 members to the current six. As a result, the focus of the club varies widely with the students who populate it. Currently, club members are paired with an engineering senior design project involving software-defined radio. /////////////////////////////////////////// Heard Island DXpedition -- Live March 29th 8 PM CST: Posted: 26 Mar 2016 12:14 PM PDT http://www.eham.net/articles/36443 This Tuesday, March 29th at 8 PM central (0100 UTC Wednesday) We will have a live video interview from Heard Island DXpedition.
