FW: ARISS Event - Rescheduled Flanders Science Festival contact, Fri (Nov 10) at 14:37 UTC
The time issue was a cut and past error, My apologies. A telebridge is when the ISS uses the amateur radio to talk to a ground station and it tied into a phone patch so the school does not have to get up at 3 AM in order to have a direct pass. Sometimes the telebridge option is used when no third party arrangements are available for the school.
Does that help?

Group, This is the second time ARISS has posted the announcment that the School contact WILL take place on October 10th this year. Perhaps like NASA, they also have a "year end" issue with their computer. :-)
Also, there is no explanation in the FAQs about what a "Telebridge" is. I assume it is some internet link, in which case one wonders if it really has anything to do with amateur radio. We certainly won't be able to "listen in" on 145.800 as I have done in the past - shame.

An International Space Station Expedition 14 ARISS school contact has been planned with students at Henri d'Haese" primary school in Gentbrugge, Belgium who were part of the Flanders Science Festival. The contact was aborted due to delays in the Progress docking and has been reschedule for Friday, 10 Oct 2006. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 14:37 UTC.
The contact will be a telebridge between stations NA1SS and W5RRR. The
contact should be audible to anyone in southeastern portions of the United States. Interested parties are invited to listen in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. Additional listening options are listed below. The participants are expected to conduct the conversation in English.
IRLP - Connect to the IRLP reflector 9010. You may also connect via the IRLP Discovery website at http://www.discoveryreflector.ca/listen.htm.
EchoLink - The audio from this contact will be available on the EchoLink *AMSAT* (node 101 377) and the *JK1ZRW* (node 277 208) conference rooms. Please connect to the *JK1ZRW* server to keep the load light on the *AMSAT* server. This will ensure good audio quality
for all listeners.

Simple solution:
Set your radio to 145.800
Listen on Echolink etc
and make believe the sound is coming from the radio.
I listened in using EchoMac here in the office at the University of Manchester and the audio was very clear - I was also watching the ISS ground track on Gsat/Predict to see where ISS actually was.
Bye for now, John
