ARISS Contact is Scheduled with Students at?TEACH-NW Charter School, Springfield, Oregon, USA
ARISS Contact is Scheduled with Students at?TEACH-NW Charter School, Springfield, Oregon, USA
October 16, 2024¡ªAmateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) has received schedule confirmation for an ARISS radio contact between an astronaut aboard the International Space Station (ISS) and?students at the TEACH-NW Charter School located in Springfield, OR.? ARISS conducts 60-100 of these special amateur radio contacts each year between students around the globe and crew members with ham radio licenses aboard the ISS.
?
TEACH-NW, is a K-12 virtual school serving 650 students. In advance of this ARISS contact, students have been involved in hands-on workshop allowing them to construct a high-gain antenna that will be used for this radio contact with the ISS. Through STEM studies and virtual talks about NASA¡¯s Artemis program and Mars Rover missions, students have been learning about space travel and the scientific principles behind space technology and experiments conducted in space. Additionally, English Language Arts teachers have introduced modules on Mars and space travel, utilizing both scientific texts and science fiction to spark imagination and deepen their understanding.
?
This will be a direct contact via Amateur Radio allowing students to ask their questions of astronaut Sunita Williams, amateur radio call sign KD5PLB. The downlink frequency for this contact is 145.800 MHz and may be heard by listeners that are within the ISS-footprint that also encompasses the relay ground station.
?
The amateur radio ground station for this contact is in Springfield, OR. Amateur radio operators using call sign KJ7NLL, will operate the ground station to establish and maintain the ISS connection.
?
The ARISS radio contact is scheduled for?October 18, 2024 at 11:27 am PDT (Springfield, OR) (18:27 UTC, 2:27 pm EDT, 1:27 pm CDT, 12:27 pm MDT).
?
The public is invited to watch the live stream at:
_______________________________
?
As time allows, students will ask these questions:
1. Does the International Space Station make its own oxygen for the astronauts?
2. What kind of plant experiments happen on the International Space Station?
3. Are there any projects you have worked on that make travel to other planets a possibility?
4. How do you communicate with the other astronauts if everyone speaks different languages?
5. What is your mission while you are up there?
6. What does your day-to-day look like at the International Space Station?
7. How has spending time in space changed your perspective on life on Earth?
8. What is your favorite astronomical sight that you've gotten to see that is not the Earth?
9. Do astronauts ever get bored in space?
10. Is your favorite food from Earth something they were able to dehydrate and send to space?
11. What is your favorite study that you have been a part of?
12. What is the most challenging thing about being an astronaut?
13. Throughout your whole experience of becoming and being an astronaut, if there were to be one thing you could change, what would that be?
14. Why did you decide to become an astronaut?
15. Have you seen the Aurora Borealis from space?
16. How does it feel to be weightless?
17. Who is the youngest person up there?
18. Have any astronauts brought a pet to the ISS?
19. If you eat or drink something, does your body digest it the same way as it would on Earth?
20. What is your favorite part of being an astronaut?

Re: Monday lunch at Abby's Pizza
And when was the "Until Further Notice" notice? Alan KF3KF
Abby's by the DMV is doing construction which makes it very loud. Until further notice, club members will be meeting at the Campus Drive Abby's Pizza at 11am on Monday's instead of the one by the DMV.

At the lecture I was giving away laminated 8.5 x 11 copies?of the ARRL band map (with the WAS map on the backside) along with a quick reference card.? I only brought 10 thinking that there wouldn't be so much demand.? If you missed out come to the club meeting on the 23rd and I will bring some more to give away.

I'd like to thank everyone who attended the SOTA lecture on Saturday.? It was a great success.
Special thank you to Amy Haptonstall (AG7GP) and her husband for making the trip over the hill.? Thank you for sharing your knowledge of SOTA and providing a great introduction to it.
After the lecture, Amy led a group to Hamaker and Chase Mtn for some SOTA fun.? Unfortunately, I was unable to make the trip.? From what I understand, it was a great success.? Eric/KD6RRR reported SSB contacts in Oklahoma, Japan and Ghana!
Thank you everyone!

Thank you for such a welcoming fun day. As usual, I remembered later many things I left out, including a video slide show I will try to send in case you want to see some photos of my adventures. SOTA, just like any part of the radio hobby, is a learn as you go hobby and hard to cram in an hour. Always more to learn. Below I attached a couple examples of logging since several did their first activation. There are many other ways, as I think a few were using apps on Hamaker. Here is a link for FLE if interested. If you look at what I enter on the left vs what the program auto fills you can see the short cuts it provides, saving a lot of time. You can put more details in such as true RST but I don't bother. I keep my paper logs if I need the details for a qsl card. Also note that everything is UTC. When Gina and I were on Chase it had just switched to a new day 00:00.
?
Hope to hear more Basin operators on the air and if anyone is in the RV area for a SOTA or see my alert in the Basin, reach out if you want to do a joint activation. And don't forget, the chasers are just as important!! We need you to make it work, especially for those just starting out who may only have an HT to operate with. I may have forgot to mention the chasers can get the points for each individual summit daily rather than yearly like the activator. I think Aaron got a s2s on 40m on Hamaker, even though he already activated Hamaker this year he gets credit for that s2s too. Feel free to email me any question, always happy to help. Thanks again and I'll try to get that video slideshow over.

You did chase me on Goosenest W6/NE-016, 09/03/2023 2M FM. Never to late to log it on sotadata.? Goosenest is a great hike to go get a complete on too! K6DBS, Dave, who came yesterday, and I did it together and it is in my top 10.
