by John Spasojevich 07 May '13

07 May '13

Please join us in listening to the ISS contact with participants at the Gary Literacy Coalition, Gary, Indiana on Wednesday 8 May - AOS is anticipated at 19:35 UTC The duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The contact will be a DIRECT between NA1SS and KC9JQN . The contact should be audible over the minwest U.S. Interested parties are invited to listen in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. The contact is expected to be conducted in English. NOTE: This is a direct contact. There will be no moderator. I am also the mentor for this contact and will be on site. Due to issues with secure internet access at the school coverage is anticipated as follows: ECHOLINK - AMSAT Conference Server (101377) - this will be attempted by 3G smart phone app. I will not have my normal control on the server and will not be able to mute connections please refrain from transmitting for the duration of the contact. JK1ZRW will not be connected. IRLP - No coverage as there isn't a node close enough to tie into WEB STREAM - none Please also note if 3G is sporadic or becomes unavailable we will drop the attempted audio feed. This part really is an experiment. Breaks will be manual, apologies in advance if anyone times out. ** Contact times are approximate. If the ISS executes a reboost or other manoeuvre, the AOS (Acquisition Of Signal) time may alter by a few minutes ** 73, John - AG9D ARISS Audio Distribution
