what kind of operations can I expect for FD 2008 with ARISS for demo and QSO purposes? 73, Robert W6RQR
Best guess at this point is that the Packet Digi would be available. We will have 2 Cosmonauts and 1 American on board at that time but I have no idea of their interest or availablity to participate.

That is difficult to say.
It depends on crew activities and any docking or EVA events. At this point, no Shuttle or Progress launches are scheduled for that time in June. However, that assumes that STS-123 and STS-124 launch on time. During field day we should have Expedition 17 active with Gregory Chamitoff, KD5PKZ on the ISS.
As we get closer we will hopefully know more.
Hope this helps.
