Good Morning
K4AMG Memorial Amateur Radio Club is working with Great Bridge HS in Chesapeake, VA for an ISS contact. Our mentor for this contact is KN4KL.
Our equipment is available for use by other schools in the local area; however, weather our mentor is available is not certain.

Call for Proposals Proposal Window September 1 – November 1, 2016
The Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) Program is seeking formal and informal education institutions and organizations, individually or working together, to host an Amateur Radio contact with a crew member on board the ISS. ARISS anticipates that the contact would be held between July 1, 2017 and December 31, 2017. Crew scheduling and ISS orbits will determine the exact contact dates. To maximize these radio contact opportunities, ARISS is looking for organizations that will draw large numbers of participants and integrate the contact into a well-developed education plan.
The deadline to submit a proposal is November 1, 2016. Proposal information and documents can be found at www.arrl.org/hosting-an-ariss-contact.
