Please join us in listening to the ISS contacts this week with participants at:

Epet Nº 2, Gral. Pico, Argentina, telebridge via LU8YY on Tuesday 6 August, AOS anticipated at 11:48 UTC, contact expected to be in Italian.

Ecole Primaire Pasteur, Fleurance, France, telebridge via LU1CGB on Wednesday 7 August, AOS anticipated at 11:01 UTC, contact expected to be in English.

The duration of the contacts are approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The contacts should be audible over portions of South America.

Audio from this contact will be fed into the:

EchoLink *AMSAT* (101377) server

IRLP Node 9010 Discovery Reflector

Streaming Audio at: https://sites.google.com/site/arissaudio/

Audio on Echolink & web stream is generally transmitted around 20 minutes prior to the contact taking place so that you can hear some of the preparation that occurs. IRLP will begin just prior to the ground station call to the ISS.

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. Breaks on IRLP are manual and occur approximately after every third question.

** 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 **
