Hello David
Disappointing to note that the BBC's on line news report of the ISS school contact today with a school in England noted that the contact took place via "satellite phone" doh!
Bearing in mind there were three or four TV crews there, it is surprising that they were not given a handout with the facts or that the organisers failed to brief the media properly!
A bit of a waste of good publicity for ARISS and the amateur radio service
methinks!

If you are offering to help to do PR then please do so. I don't think any of the _volunteers_ today profess to be experts in that field.
Of course we'd love to have amateur radio stated everywhere. That is my prime objective after making a successful contact. It was mentioned in the BBC clip, but only once. We welcome help from those who are able to make this work better.
