IZ0JPA - Paolo Nespoli QSL
Dear Friends,
this afternoon I have had a phone call from Paolo-IZ0JPA.
He is now in Houston and he will be in Italy for a short visit (Rome and Milan) next week.I hope to meet him Saturday or Sunday.I have told him about our Club and about the possibility to send a special QSL-Photo to remember his school contacts during his stay on the ISS.
He is very happy about this idea and so,if there is someone who listened to him during his radio activity,interested to receive such a special qsl (not really a true QSL but may be a Paolo's photo with autograph) please send me the request via e-mail or by mail.

SuitSat 1 Certificates available!
Hi folks,
Just came back from the 2007 AMSAT-NA Space Symposium in Pittsburgh. What a great conference! Frank Bauer gave a very nice overview on current and future ARISS activities and also handed out the new SuitSat certificates.
They will arrive soon. Since I am still at the airport in Pittsburgh, I will post a copy sometimes tonight when I get back to Winnipeg.
Thanks to all who made this such a great event. Your work is very much appreciated.

When is ISS ham radio required to power down...
In response to the following comment in the Amateur Radio packet status section, "Somebody forgot to turn off the 'Ham Radio' during the Shuttle docking this morning ;-). No uplink but RS0ISS was beaconing packet... "
The ham radio is only required to be powered down for Russian Vehicle proximity operations (Soyuz and Progress Docking, Undocking and Relocations) and space walks. It is [u]not[/u] required for Shuttle, ATV or HTV docking or undocking.
That being said, expect the radios are to be powered off to support the 5 EVA events planned for this shuttle mission (STS-120). Hopefully that will resolve the beacon only state the radio is in.

ISSf Crew Keyboard RS0ISS-4
Good evening all. This is Mike W1MWB a new ARISS enthusiast. I love using the packet system and have been talking to others in my radio club about trying it out. I have 2 questions about the ISS.
1. IS there any projected time of day when the crew keyboard usually is monitored by a live person? RS0ISS-4 is usually the first thing I try during a pass. I've all but given up on the PBBS because only one person can stay connected to RS0ISS-11 and I usually get bumped off. I've been using the UNPROTO settings to talk to other hams on the system.
2. Are there any windows of opportunity to find ISS crew operating voice? Is voice on the same freq? I look forward to any replies. 73 and SEE YOU ON THE ISS PACKET SYSTEM!
Walter Cunningham, former Apollo 7 astronaut will be visiting fans and signing autographs at the Galleria Mall in Houston
In conjunction with the 50th anniversary of space travel and his recent edgy Op-Ed article published in the Houston Chronicle, former Apollo 7 Astronaut, Walter Cunningham, will be visiting and autographing copies of his audio book, ‘The All-American Boys', on October 13, 2007 from 2pm-4pm. The signing will be held at the FYE store located inside the Galleria Mall in Houston, TX. As added entertainment, Mr. Cunningham will also perform a live reading of excerpts from the audio book.
 Touted as "the best of all the astronaut books" by the Los Angeles Times, ‘The All-American Boys' is a no-holds-barred candid memoir journaling astronauts in all their strengths and weaknesses. It includes an insider's view of the pervasive "astropolitics" and thoughtful discussion of the Columbia tragedy. ‘The All-American Boys' resonates with Cunningham's passion for humanity's destiny in space which endures today. This audio book is narrated by Walter Cunningham himself.
