Here is the live stream link for today’s ISS Contact: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-LCMwoUm9o
The live stream will start at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time (11 AM in Arizona), and the contact will be at 2:24 p.m. EDT.
Those in New England should be able to hear astronaut Matthew Dominick on the downlink by tuning to 145.800 MHz.

Anthony,
Winter Field Day has not been canceled, but you need to sign up before this Thursday at 7:00 pm when we have our winter field day meeting.
I just brought up the spreadsheet, and it looked blank, but then I saw it was scrolled down to line 29. Try scrolling up and you will see the place where you can sign up for operating slots.
Brian has a great station at a high elevation in Antrim. It should be a great place to operate for Winter Field Day!

Thanks you Brian, W1XMM, Jay, KA1PQK, and Fred, AB1OC. I have added your projects to the agenda and am looking forward to seeing them.
We still have room for additional projects for Tuesday’s Project Night meeting. We’d love to hear about your project. Please reply to this thread or email me at [email protected] if you want to add your project to the list!
Ray,
The Echolink node for our nets is N1IMO-R.

I lived in Ann Arbor, MI many years ago when I studied for my Master’s Degree at the University of Michigan. I enjoyed my year there!

Matt,
Glad you enjoyed the contact! I watched the livestream since I was on a call for work at the same time and it was a great contact. The students were able to ask all 20 questions, and then the teacher asked the question about whether she was a Red Sox fan and then the Ham who was hosting the contact asked her another question.
It is easy to listen on the air and amazing to hear an astronaut coming in on your own station. I remember a couple of years ago, Fred was a mentor for a contact in New Jersey and I was driving home from an appointment in the F150 when the contact happened. I heard the astronaut loud and clear – even a little past when they heard him in NJ since our LOS was a few seconds later.
