One 2016 fo- cus is enhancing our capabilities in the area of WACOM members utilization of digital communications. For the past two years our Monday night Digital Net has concentrated on VHF, and as more finally get "a round tuit" and fixup their HF antennas. I would ex- pect we will see some HF digital capabilities exhibited, augmenting existing resources.

Washington Amateur Communications is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to advancing the principles of Amateur Radio while making it fun for all who participate. We have been affiliated with the ARRL for over 25 years. Our club call sign is WA3COM. Because of our activity in promoting Amateur Radio, including conducting classes, public demonstrations, emergency preparedness and training, studying technical advancements in radio and mentoring of new and soon-to-be hams, WACOM has earned the designation of Special Service Club from the ARRL.

  • Your Cruise the Weddell Sea & the South Sandwich Islands
    The Weddell Sea & the South Sandwich Islands From 3/14/2022 From Ushuaia Ship: LE COMMANDANT CHARCOT to 3/31/2022 to Montevideo From Patagonia to the Antarctic peninsula, via South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, this all-new itinerary will take you into the heart of the Scotia Arc. This volcanic archipelago at the junction of the Andes cordillera and the Antarctandes will be revealed to you in all its riches and splendour. All the wildlife of the Far South can be found there: king and gentoo penguins, elephant seals, fur seals mingle on the beautiful dark sand beaches… At sea, orcas, humpback whales and other cetaceans will escort you along your navigation through frozen waters. This cruise will also be an opportunity to discoverfour very different ecosystems, from the wooded heights of the Tierra del Fuego and the table top icebergs of the Weddell Sea to the glacier-covered mountains of the South Sandwich Islands and the snow-capped summits Southof Overnight in Santiago + flight Santiago/Ushuaia + transfer Georgia. We are privileged guests in these extreme lands where we are at the mercy of weather and ice conditions. Our navigation will be determined by the type of ice we come across; as the coastal ice must be preserved, we will take this factor into account from day to day in our itineraries. The sailing schedule and any landings, activities and wildlife encounters are subject to weather and ice conditions. These experiences are unique and vary with each departure. The Captain and the Expedition Leader will make every effort to ensure that your experience is as rich as possible, while respecting safety instructions and regulations imposed by the IAATO.

    RRS James Clark Ross JR168 Cruise Report Swath bathymetry South Sandwich Islands Cruise Report RRS James Clark Ross Cruise JR168 April - May 2007 Northern South Sandwich Islands Geophysical Survey (swath bathymetry, magnetometer) Falkland Islands – South Georgia – South Sandwich Islands – Montevideo Alexander J. Tate and Philip T. Leat BAS Archive Reference No. ES6/1/2007/1 May 2007 Copy no. Front Cover Image - Zavodovski Island Introduction and Objectives Cruise JR168 was undertaken as part of the Geological Sciences Division (BAS) Long Term Monitoring and Survey (LTMS) programme of work in the Scotia Sea area. The main aim of the survey was to map the underwater portion of the northern sector of the South Sandwich arc using EM120 multi beam (swath) bathymetry, to provide a base map for further geological and multidisciplinary research. As the cruise was joined with a Biological Sciences LTMS cruise (JR167) in the South Georgia area, an additional aim was to collect swath data opportunistically in the South Georgia area as well. The northern sector of the South Sandwich arc was chosen because of its proximity to South Georgia, minimising transit time. The South Sandwich arc is a tectonically simple intra-oceanic arc situated in the South Atlantic. It is a seismically and volcanically active arc, built on the small Sandwich Plate. The arc is forming in response to steeply inclined subduction of the South American plate beneath the Sandwich plate. There are few previous detailed bathymetric studies of the South Sandwich area, and none in the northern sector of the arc. As planning tools, we used the Admiralty chart of the area and a predicted bathymetry map derived from satellite altimetry.
