  • [Video] CSA astronaut Joshua Kutryk: a story of determination

    In 2009, Joshua Kutryk was in the running to become an astronaut. He was not selected, but he didn’t let himself get discouraged. He tried again eight years later when the CSA launched another astronaut recruitment campaign. This time, his determination paid off. In this video, Joshua Kutryk explains where he gets his strength of character and perseverance. From his childhood in Alberta to his training as an astronaut, he talks about the people and moments that changed his life and pushed him to follow his dreams, even the most ambitious ones. He will soon go on a mission of about six months to the International Space Station.

Burnham Beeches Radio Club (UK) reports that the German regulator Bundesnetzagentur (the Federal Network Agency for Electricity, Gas, Telecommunications, Post and Railways) has banned sales of the Baofeng UV-5R handheld transceiver citing Amtsblatt 22 (Gazette 22).  Apparently the Polish regulator Urzad Komunikacji found that lab tests showed that the radio failed to meet relevant EU Directives and standards.  These standards may relate to spectral purity but also the power output and proximity of humans to the antenna.
