Hi All,
I am delighted to report that all the gear has been set up and tested for tomorrow's ARISS School Contact with Richard Garriott W5KWS on the ISS from Budbrooke Primary School near Warwick in the UK.
Our testing included actually receiving SSTV pictures from the Space Station and listening to Richard talking to a number of european amateurs - everyone here is very excited!
In addition to listening on 145.80MHz it will also be possible to follow the contact by watching www.batc.tv and clicking on "live events"
The contact takes place tomorrow Friday at 11:00 UTC
