ARISS Event Notice -- Coronado Village School Tuesday 24 May!
International Space Station Expedition 11's next ARISS school contact will be with students at Coronado Village School, Coronado, California, USA on Tuesday, 24 May 2005.
The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 17:21 UTC.
This contact will be a telebridge between stations NA1SS and NN1SS in Greenbelt, Maryland USA, so it should be audible to anyone in the middle Atlantic and south eastern states listening in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. The participants will conduct the conversation in English.
59 signals with no delays and visiability bonus!
The 0134 UTC 05/22/05 Packet reception over my QTH in Daleville, AL,USA was 59+ signal strength and no delays. The callsigns rcvd, KC4ONA, KC0IRG, KA9SCF, WA1ZHM, K4IPH, KG4ZYY, W5EZ, AC4YC, KB1GVR, KC8YJB, W8SNE, WA1ZHM and KB1KOX. The bonus was when I realized my Palm M515(running PocketSat+) was displaying a visiable track! I walked outside the hamshack to view the most beautiful awestruke sighting of ISS at .2 mag! My first visual sighting euphoria was simular to watching the Apollo Moon landings on TV as a child-eyewatering and speechless.
