In over 30 years I have only ever seen 1 Extra class which was not a "cram" class.?X? X? X? X? X? X? X? X? X? X? X? X? X? X? X? X? X? X? X? X? X ?From the Northern Illinois ARES reflector: There is a free Extra Class license class starting up that is completely online and 100% free. The instructor, Rol Anders, is the Chairman of the Question Pool Committee that creates the license exams. Everyone who takes his class says he's a great instructor. The class will be taught via Zoom. It will run 11 weeks, starting Thursday, Jan. 28, 2021. Classes are 6:30-9:30pm Eastern Time. If you'd like to sign up, please email Rol Anders, K3RA, at?roland.anders at comcast.net. This is *not* an entry-level class. It is intended primarily for those who already have their General Class license. However, if you do not yet have your General Class license, Rol tells me that you are still welcome to participate as long as you are at least studying for the?General Class license and are "somewhat experienced in technology."

UVSQ-SAT is a nanosatellite designed by LATMOS (Atmospheres Spatial Observation Laboratory) and developed at the Observatory of Versailles Saint Quentin-en-Yvelines.? Its scientific and technological goals are observing essential climate variables, namely shortwave and longwave radiative fluxes at the top of the atmosphere and UV solar spectral irradiance. In addition to experimental and educational missions, it will provide the Amateur Radio community with a new FM transponder. AMSAT-Francophone and the radio club F6KRK have been involved throughout the project. AMSAT-Francophone offers software to interpret the data and send it to the AMSAT-F & Satnogs database. The software is in beta mode and available for testing and giving feedback for improvement. The software runs on both Windows and Linux platforms. Information for downloading is available at: https://code.electrolab.fr/xtof/josast/-/blob/21-ecr-uvsqsat/ApplicationUVSQsatDecoder/src/site/markdown/UserManual.md Two audio files are available for testing the software: ? 1200 bps (BPSK / G3RUH): SDRSharp_20201023_143925Z_437017790Hz_IQ?Beacon_1200.wav ? 9600 bps (BPSK / G3RUH): SDRSharp_20201023_144839Z_437011810Hz_IQ?Beacon_9600.wav The satellite will transmit on the frequency: 437.020 MHz.
