Hello, and a (slightly late) Happy New Year to you from everyone involved with ARISS! Thanks for being with us during the last year, and we are already looking forward to many more contacts during 2010. Please do join us whenever you can!
This week you can join us in listening to the ISS contact with the Marconi Commemoration Event, University of Rome "Tor Vergata", Rome, Italy. This will be a telebridge via W6SRJ. Contact is a go for: Thu 2010-01-07 09:00:14 UTC
Audio from this contact will be fed into the IRLP 'Discovery' Reflector (9010) and the EchoLink *AMSAT* (101377) and *JK1ZRW* (277208) servers. IRLP and Echolink audio is generally transmitted around 15 minutes prior to the contact taking place so that you can hear some of the preparation that occurs.
Please note that on Echolink there are automatic breaks of 1.5 seconds in the audio transmission. These occur every 2.5 minutes during the event.
For your information, when any ARISS event is supported through the IRLP "Discovery" Reflector 9010, audio is also automatically streamed to the Internet.
It is then available via the 'Discovery' Reflector's companion web site www.discoveryreflector.ca . Once on its main page, select "Audio Library" (left sidebar). The prompt to join the audio stream is posted at the top of this page. You can access the URL directly at www.discoveryreflector.ca:8000/listen.pls
The audio on the Internet can be delayed by anything up to two minutes.
** 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,
Graham
