[amsat-bb] ARISS school contact

[AJ9N at aol.com]

Thanks John for the report.
 
And thanks for reminding everyone to not attempt to make a contact before a 
 scheduled ARISS contact.  The ISS crew will only be listening for one  
specific callsign; that of the school or telebridge station.  Once a  contact 
is over, then it is fair game but just know they are probably back to  work 
as soon as the contact is over.
 
73,
Charlie AJ9N
One of the ARISS mentors

I heard  the majority of it here in Raleigh, NC (FM05). People should
consider  listening even for ISS contacts in different states/areas. I
received the  entire contact with New York here in Raleigh  once:

Last Saturday  I even heard the tail end of a contact that was
happening in Arizona.  Granted I was on the Blue Ridge parkway in the
Appalachian mountains, but  still. Don't have that one on YouTube yet.

Most impressively I heard  the very beginning of a contact via a
telebridge in  Italy:

The only  reason I heard that though is because Gennady Padalka started
calling Italy  6 or 7 minutes early. I actually forgot about the
contact and was in the  middle of calling them for a random contact. I
returned the call only  because that's what I thought he was calling
for, but you shouldn't call  them when they are doing scheduled school
contacts so as not to confuse  them or interfere.
