*In celebration of Cosmonautics Day, Russian ARISS SSTV activity is planned
for the second week of April.*

*Cosmonautics Day celebrates Yuri Gagarin’s famous flight on April 12, 1961
becoming the first human to reach space. *

*The SSTV event is planned for Saturday, April 11, beginning at 10:00 UTC
and continuing until 21:00 UTC. All transmissions will use the high
resolution SSTV mode PD180. Transmissions will be at 145.800 MHz. If
