would remain.
There is something to be said for following the RFCs.

Hi Glenn,
I know it doesn't look like it, but I always convert messages (that have
"tables" and other things I want to remain in alignment) to Courier before I
send them, including the message that got so messed up.
I used to use Thunderbird for my e-mail, and messages sent in courier and
with aligned columns remained that way when amsat-bb re-sent them.? Nowadays
I have been using Yahoo Mail because it's almost as good and it takes no
space on my solid state drive.? The problem started when I switched over to
Yahoo Mail and I don't know why.
What are RFCs?? In my world RFC stands for Rugby Football Club? :-)

Russian SSTV Transmission Events Planned
March 29, 2018:
ARISS Russia is planning Slow Scan Television (SSTV) transmissions from the
International Space Station. The transmissions are scheduled to occur over
Moscow on April 2, 2018 from 15:05 through 18:30 UTC and on April 3, 2018
from 14:15 through 18:40 UTC. The MAI-75 experiment uses a computer on the
ISS Russian Segment, which stores images that are then transmitted to Earth
using the amateur radio, specifically the onboard Kenwood TM D710E
transceiver. Images received can be posted and viewed at
http://www.spaceflightsoftware.com/ARISS_SSTV/index.php .The transmissions
will be broadcast at 145.800 MHz using the PD-120 SSTV mode.
Please note that the event is dependent on other activities, schedules and
crew responsibilities on the ISS and are subject to change at any time.
Please check for news and the most current information on the AMSAT.org and
ARISS.org websites, the AMSAT-BB@?????.???? the ARISS facebook at Amateur
Radio On The International Space Station (ARISS) and ARISS twitter
@????????????.
About ARISS
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative
venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that
support the International Space Station (ISS). In the United States,
sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American
Radio Relay League (ARRL), the Center for the Advancement of Science in
space (CASIS) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The
primary goal of ARISS is to promote exploration of science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics (STEM) topics by organizing scheduled contacts
via amateur radio between crew members aboard the ISS and students in
classrooms or public forms. Before and during these radio contacts,
students, educators, parents, and communities learn about space, space
technologies, and amateur radio. For more information, see www.ariss.org.

If you're using only text, the sender's choice of font does not get
transmitted and is therefore irrelevant to the recipient's choice of font.
The RFCs define and allow MIME, hence define and allow HTML.
Some ISPs and mailing list management software packages are notorious for
mangling the content and formatting of messages sent through them.
We're bouncing low-power radio signals off tiny cubes in space just to say
hello to each other -- let's be more open to the fact that standards evolve
and change as technology changes.

I'm curious to know if there are any amateur satellites active above the

(ARISS) program is seeking proposals from US schools, museums, science
centers and community youth organizations (working individually or together)
to host radio contacts with an orbiting crew member aboard the International
Space Station (ISS) between January 1 and June 30, 2019.
?
Each year, ARISS provides tens of thousands of students with opportunities
to learn about space technologies and communications through the exploration
of Amateur Radio.? The program provides learning opportunities by connecting
students to astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) through
a partnership between NASA, the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation, the
American Radio Relay League, and other Amateur Radio organizations and
worldwide space agencies. The program?s goal is to inspire students to
pursue interests and careers in science, technology, engineering and
mathematics (STEM) and Amateur Radio. A ham recently said, ?ARISS shows how
Amateur Radio is the most unique hobby/service there is.?
?
Educators overwhelmingly report that student participation in the ARISS
program stimulates interest in STEM subjects and in STEM careers. One
educator wrote, ?It exceeded our expectations--it created a great interest
in both amateur radio and in space exploration. Our kids are completely
inspired!? Ninety-two percent of educators who have participated in the
program have indicated that ARISS provided ideas for encouraging student
exploration and participation. An educator even joined the ham ranks,
saying, ?This chance for our school?s ARISS contact helped me see the great
value of the ham world.? I just passed my Technician License this weekend
and have already signed up to take a General class.?? ?
ARISS is looking for organizations that will draw large numbers of
participants and integrate the contact into a well-developed, exciting
education plan. Students can learn about satellite communications, wireless
technology, science research conducted on the ISS, radio science, and any
related STEM subject. Students learn to use Amateur Radio to talk directly
to an astronaut and ask their STEM-related questions. ARISS will help
educational organizations locate Amateur Radio groups who can assist with
equipment for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for students.
The proposal deadline for 2019 contacts is April 30, 2018. Proposal webinars
for guidance and getting questions answers will be offered March 29, 2018,
at 7 p.m. EDT and April 16, 2018, at 4 p.m. EDT. Advance registration is
necessary. To sign up, go to
