SMART Group: SMART Group keeps tabs on the ISS
During the recent visit to the ISS by Richard Garriott (W5KWQ), the SMART Group station was setup to receive SSTV images being sent down to earth by Richard. During his stay, there were many times when the ISS would be transmitting SSTV images, taken only moments before down to earth stations waiting for the signal. Richard was also very active on HAM radio via 2M voice communications and many operators around the world were fortunate enough to make their very first ISS voice contact. The SMART group would like to send out a huge thanks to ARISS, AMSAT, and most importantly Richard (W5KWQ) for their efforts in this venture. Check out the N3PX photo gallery for more of Richards SSTV images.

SMART Group: N3PX Field Day Site to be broadcast LIVE!
The Southern Maryland Amateur Radio Technical (SMART) Group will broadcast their field day activites live via the internet this year. Thanks to Calvert Advanced Life Support and Ustream, N3PX activities will be streaming via the world wide web. Plans are to have video of different stations throughout the event, as well as live audio from the radio being watched. "If it all works out the way we want it to, it should be a great oppurtunity for someone to see what we do without even leaving the comfort of their own home" quoted Paul Lenharr (KB3NDS). "We will see what happens". Viewers can use the link below to see our operations LIVE!

SMART Group: APRS Update
The second “mega-digi” was finally installed this month. This one (K3NAL-1) is just north of Lexington Park and is a joint effort between the SMART Group and the St. Mary’s County ARA. The project involved an upgrade of an older APRS digi from the same area with newer equipment and a new, higher location.
The new term “mega-digi” was invented for our region to define APRS digipeaters that cover a large area. The new digi in Lexington Park is right at 300 feet above sea level and covers an approximate radius of 25 miles. This includes all of St. Mary’s county, lower Calvert and most of Westmoreland county in Virginia.
The new digi is part of a region wide effort to provide 100% APRS coverage. The first mega-digi was installed in Sunderland last year and is one of the largest APRS digipeaters in Maryland.
Future plans include another mega-digi in Charles county later this year. Additional plans are in the works for more coverage of the Northern Neck area of VA. This will be a joint project with the RATS group from Richmond (www.rats.net).
Check out the www.n3px.com web site for future photo updates of the APRS system.
