Hi!
As some (many?) of you may have already seen on Twitter, or figured
out if you listened on some passes today, I had to cancel my plans
for this weekend. I had arrived in Show Low AZ Friday evening, and then
received a call from home about a family issue that forced me to turn
around and drive right back to Phoenix. Things are now better at home,
but I was not able to attend this morning's White Mountain Hamfest nor
follow through on my plans to visit different NPOTA sites this afternoon
and tomorrow. I apologize to those who were hoping to work me from those
locations (and rarely heard grids).
I don't know if or when I can make it out to Petrified Forest National
Park again. It's about a 4-hour drive from Phoenix. My plans for next
weekend will now include a Sunday stop in the Flagstaff area, so I can
try to operate from NPOTA sites in that area - including Sunset Crater
Volcano and Wupatki National Monuments north of Flagstaff. I still plan
on attending the Prescott Hamfest next Saturday (11 June), which will be
at the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Prescott campus. I'll write
more about that hamfest, and more details about my post-hamfest plans,
in the next few days.
73!

An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at Glenmore State High School, Rockhampton, Queensland,
Australia on 06 June. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 08:39
UTC. It is recommended that you start listening approximately 10 minutes
before this time.The duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and
30 seconds. The contact will be a telebridge between NA1SS and W6SRJ. 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.
Glenmore High School is a modern, progressive secondary school providing
quality education for students from years 7 to 12. Since its establishment
in 1975 Glenmore High School has earned a reputation for high quality
educational programs and services which develop a passion in students for
learning and life.
Glenmore SHS runs an extension Science/Math program named "SCOPE" where
student enrol and work through year levels at an accelerated rate, which
allows them to finish traditional schooling early and conduct further
studies at our local university, to which we are partnered (Central
Queensland University), during their final year of schooling.
Students in the "SCOPE- Science" program are encouraged to participate in
our schools astronomy club and robotics club as an extra curricula activity.
The schools astronomy club works with local primary schools, teaching about
space and running viewing evenings.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. Does the ISS have any close calls or collisions with space junk or
meteorites and can you see meteorites entering the Earth's atmosphere and
burning up from above?
2. What forces do you experience during the launch, when travelling from
Earth to the ISS?
3. What levels of radiation are you exposed to on board the ISS?
4. Does eating space food have any long term effects on your digestive
system?
5. What different scientists are involved with the ISS?
6. How do you go to the toilet and where does it go when you flush?
7. What sounds can you hear inside the ISS?
8. What are your favourite sites to view and photograph from space?
9. Does the recycled air and water on-board the space station smell and
taste different to fresh air and water on Earth?
10. Do you ever play jokes or pranks on each other and if so what is the
best joke or prank anyone has played on the ISS?
11. What are the dangers of living in space on the ISS?
12. How difficult is it to maintain contact with family and friends whilst
on the space station?
13. What are the challenges for exercising in space?
14. If you could travel to any moon or planet in our solar system, where
would it be and why?
15. What are some of the current experiments being conducted on the ISS?
16. What do you do in your typical day on board the ISS?
17. What effects does living in zero gravity have on the human body?
18. What is your education background and what do you need to become an
astronaut?
19. Can you feel the cold of space even through your space suit when on
spacewalks?
20. Where do you think the next man space mission should be to and why?

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), and the 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 information, see
www.ariss.org, www.amsat.org, and www.a
rrl.org.
Thank you & 73,

Message-ID: <02fc01d1bf79$351d5d80$9f581880$@xxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
I've taken on the task of trying to organize satellite participation again
in the yearly 13 Colonies special event. Most of you I'm sure are aware of
what the event is, if not please see...
http://www.13colonies.net/
What I will need to do to get sat operations added back to the event is get
at least one currently active sat op from each of the 13 colonies to
participate. I will cover the States of New Jersey and Delaware (if needed).
There can be more than one op per state. I also would like to ask for some
help putting WM3PEN on satellite, I think for the first time. I'm not going
to go forward with this unless we can reliably put all 13 colonies on the
air. Time is short, so anyone interested please email me ASAP so I can if a
go, set this all up in time.

Hi Jeff,
I should be able to operate on satellite (any FM or Analog bird) from Rhode
Island, FN41, Washington County on at least most of the event days (July 1
to July 6).
Please let me know if I can help (if you get someone from everywhere).

I have gotten some emails about level of participation. A pass or two a day
is fine. There is also no need to be on every pass every day, but I am
looking for experienced ops capable of making contacts every time there
OTA. As the event progresses if your state is needed by someone to get the
sweep, I'm sure they will let you know here on the SIG J
We have 4 states so far..
