[John Spasojevich]

Please join us in listening to the ISS contact with participants at the

*Indiana Area School District, Indiana, PA* on Tuesday January 28th. AOS is
anticipated at 13:30 UTC

The duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The
contact will be a telebridge between NA1SS and W6SRJ in California. The
contact should be audible over the west coast of the U.S. Interested
parties are invited to listen in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. The contact is
expected to be conducted in English.

Indiana, Pennsylvania is a rural town with a population of 32,000 that is
situated sixty miles northeast of Pittsburgh.  Our residents enjoy the
convenient proximity to a major city, as well as the community-feel and
lifestyle of a small town.  The Indiana Area School District has provided a
dynamic high-quality educational program for over 170 years.  Our four K-5
elementary schools, one 6-8 junior high school and one 9-12 senior high
school serve 2800 students district wide.

Audio from this contact will be fed into the:

EchoLink *AMSAT* (101377)

IRLP Node 9010 Discovery Reflector

Streaming Audio at: https://sites.google.com/site/arissaudio/

Audio on Echolink & web stream is generally transmitted around 20 minutes
prior to the contact taking place so that you can hear some of the
preparation that occurs. IRLP will begin just prior to the ground station
call to the ISS.

Please note that on Echolink there are automatic breaks of 1.5 seconds in
the audio transmission. These occur every 2.5 minutes during the event.
Breaks on IRLP are manual and occur approximately after every third
question.

** Contact times are approximate. If the ISS executes a reboost or other
manoeuvre, the AOS (Acquisition Of Signal) time may alter by a few minutes
