AB1OC will be the telebridge station for an ISS Contact to be heard over New England. The contact starts at around 11:34 AM and you can hear the Astronaut, Mark Pathy, by listening to 145.800.
Here is the ARISS Press Release:
April 10, 2022—Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) has received schedule confirmation for an ARISS radio contact between Axiom Mission-1 (Ax-1) astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) and Canadian students at the École Secondaire St. Marguerite d’Youville in St. Albert. Ax-1 is the first private astronaut mission to the International Space Station. ARISS conducts 60-80 of these special amateur radio contacts each year between students around the globe and crew members with ham radio licenses aboard the ISS.
École Secondaire St. Marguerite d’Youville is a French immersion Junior High School with about 240 students, grades 7-9. The school’s optional class program allows students to participate in STEAM-oriented activities including robotics, forensics, multimedia, leadership, enterprise and innovation. As a UNESCO School, the students are empowered to be guided by environmental stewardship, a concern for peace, inclusion and social justice.
This will be a telebridge contact via Amateur Radio allowing students to ask their questions of Ax-1 Astronaut Mark Pathy, amateur radio call sign KO4WFH. Local Covid-19 protocols are adhered to as applicable for each ARISS contact. 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 telebridge station.
ARISS volunteer Fred Kemmerer, using his call sign AB1OC in New Hampshire, will serve as the ARISS relay amateur radio station (telebridge station).
The ARISS radio contact is scheduled for April 13, 2022 at 9:36 am MDT (Alberta, CAN) (15:36 UTC, 11:36 pm EDT, 10:36 am CDT, 8:36 am PDT).
