Most of our ARISS Crew Contact Team was here yesterday for the final setup and a full station test in preparation for our crew contact during the first week in December. Dave, K1DLM helped us to configure the rest of the Audio-Visual equipment include our live stream camera and three camcorders that we will use to capture video from our contact.

After we got everything set up, Burns, WB1FJ and I put the station on the air and made some satellite contacts using the full system.

Our Station Test included testing our Livestream camera, and we streamed some video from the test to the N1FD Facebook page. Jamey, AC1DC, and others were in contact with some 40+ folks who followed our Test live on Facebook.

Dan, AC1EN who is the Faculty member (and a NARS member) at Hudson Memorial School who is the lead on our contact helped check the audio system and helped us work out details as to how our final preparations and the contact at the school will work.

Also, thanks to Charlie, W1CBD for capturing photos and helping to get the station set up and working.
