ARISS expects to see very few if any general voice contacts during this time frame.

Note, all times are approximate. It is recommended that you do your own orbital prediction or start listening about 10 minutes before the listed time.

Total number of ARISS ISS to earth school contacts is 565. Total number of ARISS supported terrestrial contacts is 38.

A complete year by year breakdown of the contacts may be found in the file. http://www.amsat.org/amsat/ariss/news/arissnews.rtf

IN LIGHT OF SOME COMMENTS THAT HAVE APPEARED RECENTLY ON THE VARIOUS BULLETIN BOARDS; THE COMMENTS BELOW STILL HOLD TRUE: +++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Lately there have been some comments on the various bulletin boards about having general contacts or leaving the packet or crossband repeater on. Remember that ARISS is a guest onboard the ISS and if the crew elects to not turn something on or to operate, then that is their decision. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++

There have been rumors in the past indicating that the ISS was having direct contacts on the 40 meter band. There is no HF radio equipment on board and available yet. The HF antenna is mounted. Sometimes WA3NAN will retransmit shuttle audio.
