No plans to schedule contacts during JOTA. It will be a crew preference.
Regarding the crossband repeater...good idea but bad timing. Some recent issues with the D700 prevent any automatic operations by the radio. I'll keep it in mind if things get turned around in time.

Not sure If the ARISS project isnt going to schedule a contact during that time period, but if they dont could we get repeater mode for October 19-22? Since repeater mode is difficult, it would be nice to have a couple days to play with it prior to the event.

I try inquire of the crew about JOTA every year. Just looking at your times listed looks like it will be difficult. The crew is normally in pre/post and sleeping from 1930 until 0730 UTC.

Is there anyway that ARISS can be availble for general astronaut contacts on 10/21-10/22 for JOTA? I am going to be operating W9W that weekend with my troop. Based upon the latest Keplian Elements, these times seem to be favorable for all of the United States on 10/21-10/22: 10/21: 0522Z to 0542Z 0658Z to 0718Z 2325Z to 2341Z
10/22: 0059Z-0118z 0234Z to 0254Z 0544z to 0606z
