A committee tasked with evaluating the name of Luther Burbank Elementary School in Santa Rosa is sticking by the name.
They cite a recent survey in which respondents were asked to name three words that represented the school community and whether Luther Burbank represents those values. Of those who took the survey, 95-percent answered, yes, he does. Additionally, the committee could not decide on whether Luther Burbank was a signatory on an anti-Chinese petition in 1886, arguing it could’ve been his brother. The naming committee is expected to present their full findings to the Santa Rosa City School Board on May 26th.

SSTV Event to Help ARISS Mark 20 Years of Continuous Ham Radio Operation in Space 12/17/2020
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (
ARISS) will continue its year-long 20th anniversary celebration of continuous ham radio operation from the ISS this month, with a slow-scan television (SSTV) event over the holidays. The first ARISS school contact took place in December 2000, not long after the first ISS crew arrived on station a month earlier and had made test contacts. The commemorative late-December SSTV event will be held December 24 through December 31, although dates are subject to change. The frequency will be 145.800 MHz, using SSTV PD-120 mode. Over its 20 years, ARISS has supported nearly 1,400 scheduled ham radio contacts with schools, student groups, and other education organizations.
