Hacking Inmarsat Satellites with a Simple Iridium Patch Antenna

Paul McIntyre, KC5JAX

The president of the River City Amateur Radio Communications Society in California, Paul McIntyre, KC5JAX, was one of two individuals killed on February 28 in a knife attack by a client at a recovery center. McIntyre, a father of two, had been interning at the Wellness and Recovery Center in Carmichael as part of his training to become a social worker. He was 57. Two other victims survived the attack.

McIntyre’s club reported that he was a longtime mentor and volunteer, and he was passionate to help others learn and enjoy amateur radio. He served for years as a club officer, on the Board of Directors, as net coordinator, and was a regular Field Day participant.

“He’s a wonderful, brave blind man who had no defense against what happened here,” a Fox40 KTXL news story quoted his wife Barbara. She told the TV station that McIntyre interned at the wellness and recovery center 2 days a week.

The family has set up a GoFundMe page to help with funeral costs. “When the screaming started, he ran towards the danger,” Anissa Kolda said on the GoFundMe page she set up on behalf of Barbara McIntyre. “His act saved a life but cost him his own.” — Thanks to ARRL Sacramento Valley Section Manager Carol Milazzo, KP4MD

Ciao Xxxxxxx!

Mi sento molto fortunata ad avere l’opportunità di ringraziarti per la tua donazione di € (£, Rp, o $) xxxx, a nome di tutte quelle persone che si adoperano per una conoscenza libera.

Più faccio questo lavoro, più capisco che non esiste un’unica esperienza di Wikipedia. La curiosità si manifesta in modi diversi, così come noi tutti siamo diversi, e prende forme differenti per ognuno di noi.

La prossima volta che userai Wikipedia, spero sentirai ancora più nel profondo che ti appartiene. Perché senza di te, e senza l’amore e il supporto di miliardi di persone che ogni giorno ci consultano, noi non saremmo nulla.

La tua donazione ci dà slancio e ci permette di raggiungere il nostro obiettivo. Grazie per aver fatto spazio nella tua vita a Wikipedia.

Con immensa gratitudine,

Katherine

I am copying and paste the following lines from SETI@home website for my (few) readers information on what I always suspected has become to be true.

The SETI's Operations are shut down but I am afraid that the top peoples in the Organization are still there and sucking the good milk (salaries and pensions) they were use to, from their creature. That was the only and disgraceful project of SETI; no more than that!

P.S. For Aliens live search, please turn down your dishes antennas toward the Earth; may be they are here already.

SETI@home hibernation
On March 31, the volunteer computing part of SETI@home will stop distributing work and will go into hibernation.

We're doing this for two reasons:

1) Scientifically, we're at the point of diminishing returns; basically, we've analyzed all the data we need for now.

2) It's a lot of work for us to manage the distributed processing of data. We need to focus on completing the back-end analysis of the results we already have, and writing this up in a scientific journal paper.

However, SETI@home is not disappearing. The web site and the message boards will continue to operate. We hope that other UC Berkeley astronomers will find uses for the huge computing capabilities of SETI@home for SETI or related areas like cosmology and pulsar research. If this happens, SETI@home will start distributing work again. We'll keep you posted about this.

If you're currently running SETI@home on your computer, we encourage you to attach to other BOINC-based projects as well. Or use Science United and sign up to do astronomy. You can stay attached to SETI@home, of course, but you won't get any jobs until we find new applications.

We're extremely grateful to all of our volunteers for supporting us in many ways during the past 20 years. Without you there would be no SETI@home. We're excited to finish up our original science project, and we look forward to what comes next.
