W3ZM from Escape Velocity 2016 in National Harbor, MD 7/2/16
Good afternoon,
ARISS will have a presence at the Escape Velocity 2016 event at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in National Harbor, MD this weekend. To demonstrate space communications to anyone interested, I will work two FO-29 passes tomorrow afternoon (at 16:49 UTC and 18:36 UTC) from outside the convention center using the AMSAT club callsign W3ZM. Please look for me around 435.865 MHz +/- Doppler. I may also work the SO-50 pass at 19:54 UTC.
73,
Paul, N8HM
Paul,
Thanks for this heads-up! The earlier FO-29 pass is a no-go from here, but the later FO-29 pass is really good in this direction. Even the SO-50 pass, if you can work that one, is possible.
Good luck, and 73!
