I'll be working with a team providing satellite demos all weekend just outside from the AMSAT booth. I'd be happy to help you out with that part of your request.

Can anyone help me get in touch with Richard Garriott , Charles Simonyi , Mike Fincke or other astronauts that will be at the Dayton Hamvention in 3 weeks? We would like to do an interview with them.
I made a very brief contact with Charles 2 days before they stopped operation and came back.
We broadcast Live streaming video and audo of our 5 day trip to dayton. We broadcast our 550 mile drive live starting on Wed May 13 and will be broadcasting live from the fleamarket every day. It would be great if any of the astronauts that may visit Dayton could come by and we do a short interview. We are watched in over 150 countries and reach out to over 100,000 hams world wide.
We might even try to make a satellite contact and broadcast the attempt live from the fleamarket.
Also we are open to any other ideas you may have which promote working satellites, the ISS, or just ham radio.
Time is short so we need to move fast. I hope someone out there has the contacts. Http://w5kub.com http://w5kub.com/ is on 24 x 7 x365 days a year. right now we have recorded video on but will switch to live in a few weeks.
Thanks, Tom W5KUB
