>From  2014-11-10 to 2014-12-07, there will be no US Operational Segment 
(USOS) hams on  board ISS.  So any schools contacts during this period will be 
conducted by  the ARISS Russia  team.

ARISS  is requesting listener reports for the above contacts.  Due to 
issues with  the Kenwood radio that are not fully understood at present, the 
Ericsson radio  is going to be used for these contacts.  ARISS thanks everyone 
in advance  for their assistance.  Feel free to send your reports to 
aj9n at amsat.org or  aj9n at aol.com.
