Recent ARRL Outages were a Result of Ransomware Attack

Recently published public records revealed that ARRL was a victim of a ransomware attack that ultimately resulted in services such as Log Book of The World being offline for several weeks.

While data belonging to ARRL members and users of ARRL services wasn't directly affected by the attack, public records revealed that up to 150 ARRL employees did have personal data compromised.

At this stage there is no evidence that compromised data was misused. It's unknown whether ARRL paid a ransom as part of the attack.

PI9CAM EME SSTV Party Aims to Bounce Images off Moon

The C.A. Muller Radio Astronomy Station (PI9CAM) will utilize the Dwingeloo Radio Telescope to conduct an EME SSTV Party on July 13th. The event celebrates the Apollo 11 moon landing by transmitting moon landing and spacecraft images to the moon using SSTV on 23cm (1296.110 MHz).

Look for activity between 13:00 and 21:00 UTC on July 13th. The MARTIN2 SSTV mode will be utilized with the MMSSTV software.

Leading up to the event, PI9CAM will be available for EME QSOs on 70, 23, and 13cm in all modes.

A WebSDR is available to listen in on the telescope's live reception activity.

See the Moon-Net mailing list for more information.
