@RF2Space It won’t be the same without you! All the best!

I have officially handed over my duties related to amateur radio on the ISS. I will still be serving as a part time advisor until the end of May 2025. I will no longer have real-time insight to daily operations after that time. It has be a great 20+ years supporting!

@goodgame_K5ATA @InNOut Oooof- another time, then! Have fun!!!

@jmsciencegal @InNOut San Ramon for Pacificon… a wee bit of a hike from LA

Because I’m here, I had to hit @innout for an animal style and add chili peppers. Next time I’ll get them to double up the peppers for more heat.

@goodgame_K5ATA Fair tidings, little balloon! Thank you for your service!

Well, all good things must come to an end. I regret to inform you that the little balloon that could, simply could not any longer. She lived 49.5 hours of life full of ups and downs before meeting her demise just off Key West, FL. Now, in all seriousness,

@goodgame_K5ATA Go little balloon!

Day two and the balloon is still up there! Considering we all woke up at before 5am to check it, I think it’s safe to say teachers and kids are going to love this! #hamradio #amateurradio #stem #teacher

@goodgame_K5ATA @qrplabs lol- I get that!!! Let me know if I can help. I have lessons on how to use WSPR/ WSPR.rocks in the classroom

@jmsciencegal @qrplabs Yeah, but we really want some of the other data in there. We have a guy who is working on getting it decoded,m and will be able to have it in place for future launches. This is why we test things first :)

Launching a pico balloon with a @qrp_labs U4B tracker to prepare for @arrlhq Teachers Institute 3. Kids are absolutely going to love this! Interested in the program? arrl.org/ti #hamradio #amateurradio #balloon #stem #teacher

@goodgame_K5ATA @qrplabs If you go to wspr.rocks, you can track it there. It won’t show the altitude, but can give the location

Now if only the @qrplabs tracking site worked we could get our data. We know it’s up because of wspr, but the qrp labs site appears broken. #frusrated

@goodgame_K5ATA Thanks!

@jmsciencegal KB4DSF on wspr

@SMpwrgr Thank you for posting this! I have had a cold since Wednesday, tested negative Thursday, but kept in bedroom quarantine just in case. Took a test to convince myself I was negative before rejoining family after reading this- tested positive. Staying put to keep family safe!

🧵a man of principle Day 1 husband had huge unmitigated exposure (all day, small room) to v unwell, coughing colleague just off plane from Europe last Tues Came home, isolated immediately & made plans to isolate down the beach away from at risk family

@pernilleripp My first year teaching the entire school (elementary specialist- every class rotated into my room). Principal observed me in October, and I got admonished for not knowing every student’s name already.

@LamontClass Tell me more!!!

A spring math activity created using Lucid. This could be used as a whole class or individual. I've enjoyed using Lucid this year!

@goodgame_K5ATA You got both Mike Vargas AND Allison Bogart in pics at the conference? Mind blown! 3 of my favorite geeky people in this photo compilation!

Kicking off the final day of @official_nsta and so far, it’s been an AWESOME conference sharing TI with these #stem #steam educators. Teachers are amazed to see how many ways radio and wireless technology can ELEVATE their programs. #hamradio #amateurradio #teacher #edtech

@goodgame_K5ATA @dunkin Have a great conference! Hope to share a booth with you again sometime!

When you get to the airport at about 4, get pulled for search at TSA, and finally make it into the airport, you need a hero in the form of @dunkin Midnight. @official_nsta bound to share TI with some amazing educators. Come see us at booth 331! #hamradio #amateurradio #stem

@AK_El_Jefe For the love of all that is teacher enthusiasm - do NOT make them make posters about a topic and do a gallery walk! Fastest way to kill any momentum! 😁

If you had a professional development day the first day back from break, what would you hope for? (besides planning time- I’ll provide some but the day is designed for PD)

@goodgame_K5ATA @dunkin Let me know if you want/ need to bounce NGSS standards off of someone!

Because every day should be a @dunkin day. Spending the morning digging into state and national science standards makes caffeine a requirement. #stem

@offgridteacher I found a lot of review questions online, and kept taking those- not the Quizziz flash cards, but the actual review questions. There were a few of them that I recognized on the test from the reviews I had been taking.

@jmsciencegal I took it and didn’t pass, so I’m realizing I need to study somehow.

@AdamCozens27 @bethesda @YPM_AGENCY Wait- what?!?!? Chris has been so excited for this release! How fun!

It’s been an honor and a privilege to be involved in the launch of this incredible title. Congrats to @bethesda from myself and all of my @YPM_AGENCY colleagues.

@CulverCityGov It’s amazing! My family saw it yesterday- engaging and fun! The actors are great at improv with spontaneous sirens as well!

#CulverCity's "The Actors' Gang" presents Much Ado About Pooh, a free Shakespeare in the Park performance for families! The performance will run on Saturdays and Sundays at 11 AM from August 5-27. For more information, visit: bit.ly/3qjNrFW
