Thank you Patrick, I did not know Arizona didn't follow DST. I often have a hard time with these calculations and that is why I put "I believe," to be corrected if I was wrong.
Also, the live feed starts 1 hour before the pass and that is why we are talking about 10am local/ 1700 UTC instead of the pass time of 1801 UTC:
The presentation starts at 10am and the pass will begin at 11:03am (Arizona Time)

John,
A slight correction... 10am in Arizona is 1700 UTC. Arizona, except for the portion of the Navajo Nation reservation in the northeastern part of the state, does not change its clocks for daylight time in the summer. It's UTC -7 hours for local time, all the time. We really don't need the extra hour of daylight, when it is so hot in the deserts during the summer.
Looking forward to this video presentation, and to hear the ISS as it passes over. W7LB is the ground station for this contact, and Larry Brown is a long-time AMSAT member and supporter. He has had a hand in other scheduled ISS contacts in Arizona, and his experience should help make this a success.
73!
