I was wondering if the ISS is going to be on the air on October 20th 2007 for the Jamboree-On-The-Air Boys Scouts of America event. It is very much like the nation wide event Field Day. However this event isworld wide. This year marks the 50th anniversary for the event. (depending
on which web site you look at). I would like to help the scouts in our area contact the ISS if possible with either voice or packet. If anyone has any information please let me know.

An International Space Station Expedition 15 ARISS school contact has been planned with participants at Pueblo Magnet High School, Tucson, Arizona USA on 21 Sep. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 15:04 UTC.

The contact will be a direct between stations NA1SS and KD7RPP. The contact should be audible in most of western North America. Interested parties are invited to listen in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. In addition, the audio should be available via IRLP and EchoLink. The participants are expected to conduct the conversation in English.

The school's name, Pueblo Magnet High School, might connote a "highly developed and worldly" school. Pueblo is anything but "complicated or finely experienced and aware". Pueblo High School may be more accurately described as a pueblo: an intimate village whose inhabitants most often learn about the larger world only as it comes to them."
