An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at "A.Gramsci-N.Pende", Noicattaro, Italy and Istituto
Comprensivo "Tauro - Viterbo", Castellana Grotte (Ba), Italy on 21 Oct. The
event is scheduled to begin at approximately 14:23 UTC. The duration of the
contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The contact will be
direct between IR0ISS and IZ7RTN. The contact should be audible over Italy
and adjacent areas. Interested parties are invited to listen in on the
145.80 MHz downlink. The contact is expected to be conducted in Italian.
School Information:
The Comprehensive School "A.Gramsci-N.Pende" Institute, combines the story
of two schools in the area nojano long. An intense work of analysis and
comparison between the realities of the schools has led to identify the
common elements, and the specific objectives that constitute the rails of
the teaching and culture of our institution. The Comprehensive School "A.
Gramsci - N. Pende", formed from 1 September 2012 as a result of the process
of sizing the school network operated by the Region of Puglia. The Institute
comprises three segments school so distinct:
1. Kindergarten "Sabin- area 167"
2. Primary School "A.Gramsci" where are located the bureau and secretariat
3. High school first grade "N. Pende ", in distinct complexes via Lamanna
and Parchitello, residential area bordering Torre a Mare.
The presence of the three segments of the school favors the union and the
educational continuity and guarantees the unity of purpose and action
The population of the newborn Comprehensive School "Gramsci - Pende", fully
reflecting the reality in which they operate, with the presence of users who
range from 3 to 13 years and is very diversified socio-economic and cultural
backgrounds; currently the school welcomes 1040 students, including many
immigrants, to which the Headmaster and the entire teaching staff and
non-teaching ensures warmth and well-being through physical and mental
resources
fielded by CRIT - Centro Cultural Resources of the Territory - which
headquarters in the Institute and that for several years has been conducting
actions aimed at the construction of an integrated training system with the
support and cooperation of all agencies in the area.
"Viterbo" Secondary School, belonging to "Istituto Comprensivo G. Tauro - S.
Viterbo", has been aiming at achieving the aims and goals of this course of
studies for some time, offering a wide variety of curricular and
extracurricular activities. In particular, the course of musical
instrument has been and is a further element of enrichment of curriculum,
because it gives pupils the opportunity to learn the practice of an
instrument and to develop skills in music.

About ARISS:
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative
venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that
support the International Space Station (ISS). In the United States,
sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American
Radio Relay League (ARRL), the Center for the Advancement of Science in
Space (CASIS) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
The primary goal of ARISS is to promote exploration of science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics (STEM) topics by organizing scheduled contacts
via amateur radio between crew members aboard the ISS and students in
classrooms or informal education venues. With the help of experienced
amateur radio volunteers, ISS crews speak directly with large audiences in a
variety of public forums. Before and during these radio contacts, students,
teachers, parents, and communities learn about space, space technologies,
and amateur radio. For more informa

Tony,
WiSP will work with a KISS TNC (NONE) but you will need to configure it
manually. Things like full duplex, 9600 baud, the monitor function, etc. I
know of one other person who has been trying to get that to work, but so far
has not had success. Perhaps someone here who uses a hardware TNC rather
than software can give you a list of parameters to set?
73s,

Jamboree on the Air is this weekend and I am sure there are going to be a
number of operators on Satellite in support of various Scout organizations
all over North America. If you have not already, find one near you and
volunteer your services to introduce our fun and challenging aspect of
Amateur Radio to some youngsters (and adult leaders alike).
Personally I will be in support of Circle Ten Council in Dallas EM12, with a
JOTA activation in support of a new branch of BSA called STEM Scouts. Our
group will be using borrowed call N5BSA and running a limited schedule from
1500-1900Z on October 21. Look for us and give a shout if you do.

I know about the PIEXX unit, but it is fairly pricey and has

I have heard that several people were working on clones, but I can

Ideas?

under one degree of elevation using ~5 watts into 10' of LMR-240uf and
