[HIham] Special ISS commemorative certificate ends this week

[Ron Hashiro]

Hams in Hawaii,

The special 25th anniversary certificate for making contact, or HEARING 
a contact with the ISS ends this week (either Wednesday or Thursday).  
I've been giving updates periodically on this unique opportunity to get 
an AMSAT certificate for your shack.  You can get one by listening to 
437.800 Mhz during the times hams are active with the ISS, and following 
the instructions on the AMSAT.ORG web page to claim the certificate.  
So, these few days are your last chances.

Information on how to get the certificate is found on the AMSAT.ORG web 
page.

Information on how to make a contact can be found on the first item on 
this web page.  There are links to other web pages with more information.

In addition to the passtimes, note that there is now a file listing the 
doppler calculations for the remaining good evening passes over Honolulu.

If you want the same information for your location, I strongly recommend 
using the program STSPLUS, which was used to derive the log file.

This will probably be the last announce I'll make for this series of 
contact attempts, as I'll be available Sunday evening, but not during 
the rest of the week.  Good luck!
