ARISS School QSO FRIDAY Dec.4

Image

From Gordon KD8COJ:
The ISS astronauts are conducting an ARISS contact with a school in Tecumseh, Oklahoma on Friday afternoon, Dec. 4.
The Downlink side should be audible in our area, very likely even on an HT, as the ISS will be on a nearly direct overhead pass during the ARISS event.

[EDIT]- copied strong, full quieting signal on HT. Only just the last couple of transmissions by Shannon Walker, KD5DXB happened over EN82.

A live stream of the event will be on YouTube at:

ISS Downlink Frequency: 145.800 MHz
Rise SW (236˚): 1336 EST
Max (84˚ elevation) overhead: 1341 EST
Set NE (56˚): 1347 EST
