I try inquire of the crew about JOTA every year. Just looking at your
times listed looks like it will be difficult. The crew is normally in
pre/post and sleeping from 1930 until 0730 UTC.

Subject: [amsat-bb] ARISS Contacts During JOTA

Is there anyway that ARISS can be availble for general astronaut
contacts on
10/21-10/22 for JOTA?  I am going to be operating W9W that weekend with
my troop.  Based upon the latest Keplian Elements, these times seem to
be favorable for all of the United States on 10/21-10/22:
10/21:
0522Z to 0542Z
0658Z to 0718Z
2325Z to 2341Z

10/22:
0059Z-0118z
0234Z to 0254Z
0544z to 0606z

This is the prediction for Chicago IL:
