We are sorry about your disappointment.\n\nSpeaking just of NASA TV, we do not carry Ham radio events because of\nreliability issues.\n\nWe wish we could offer you better news. We appreciate your interest in\nthe space program.\n \nThanks,\nThe JSC PAO Web Team \n\n-----Original Message-----\nFrom: Dexter N Muir [mailto:[email protected]] \nSent: Wednesday, June 25, 2008 8:24 PM\nTo: JSC-HSF-Web-Mail\nSubject: Opportunity lost!\n\nGreetings from 'Down Under' (KiwiSat land)\n\n   A golden opportunity lost!\n\n   ARISS had scheduled a contact with Robinson Elementary School,\nRobinson, \nTexas via telebridge WH6PN in Hawaii on 25 Jun 2008 at 15:45 UTC.  At\nthis \ntime ISS _was_ over Hawaii, and ISS was scheduled to be in its Live \nCommentary period.\n\n   There was NO audio from the telebrige WH6PN on either Echolink or the\nIRLP \nDiscovery Reflector, and NASA TV's 'live coverage' segment made\nabsolutely NO \nmention of the event - in fact, no 'on-board' coverage was shown at all!\nISS \nwas out of range of TDRSS earlier, but would surely have been back in\ntouch \nby then?  A camera at the ARISS position should have been easy to\narrange, \neven if there is not one already present in that segment.\n\n   What happened?  Was there some other pressing event that could not be\n\nre-scheduled?  A technical fault (though nothing was mentioned of such)?\n\nDid 'dirtside' cancel at the last minute?  All Internet links showed the\n\nevent would run as advertised right up to time.\n\n   Echolink *AMSAT* Conference gives feedback on who is connected, and I\n\nobserved 6 other stations on at that time (incidentally 3:45 AM next\nmorning \nhere in New Zealand).  That is 6 parents or grandparents (like me) keen\nto \ndemonstrate live one-on-one communications with an Astronaut IN SPACE,\nwho \nare now extremely disappointed.  For myself, it was my first attempt at\nsuch \na conference, and I am _really_ glad I tried solo without getting 3\ngrandkids \nout of bed.\n\n   Despite this disappointment, I will try again (solo), and given at\nleast \n_some_ measure of success am likely to bring said children and perhaps\nothers \nto witness the event some time in the future.  THESE are your REAL\naudience - \nthe Astronauts, Scientists and Engineers of the future!\n\nSincerely\nDexter N Muir, ZL2DEX (Radio Ham since 1969)\nLevin, New Zealand\n\n</Quote>\n\n   Is this really a reliability issue, or somebody so high they don't smell \nvery nice (thinking more govt than anything else) deciding that Amateur = \nHam-fisted, and not realising that  the 'Hams' involved are mostly \nprofessionals and, because they LOVE what they do (the original meaning, from \nLatin), make professional-level efforts to DO IT RIGHT.\n\n   Besides, the exercise is NOT 'Carrying Ham radio events', but more an issue \nof continuing existing coverage, in similar manner to one of the Astronauts \ndoing a video-tour of the premises (which they do from time to time).  As I \nhad pointed out, there is probably a camera already there - the 'Ham Shack' \nis in or near the 'Kitchen' area, which has been 'vid-casted' before.\n\n   Can we do better?  Can we pressure someone/somewhere to not let this sort \nof opportunity pass again?\n\n   BTW - what DID happen?  Anyone?\n\n\n\n\n",
