Frank is going to post more comprehensive information very soon, Al.

Garriott has an *extremely* busy schedule while he is on orbit.  He 
wants to do general QSOs, as time permits.

The plan is for SSTV to be downlink only.

He may use his W5KWQ callsign for some activities, such as SSTV, and the 
other ISS callsigns will be used for the school events.
