[K3VOA] During the COVID-19 Pandemic, ARISS to Begin Experimental Demonstrations of School Contacts

[Kim Andrew Elliott]

I heard a few words from the ISS today at about 1340Z on 145.8 MHz.

I don't know if the attached audio will get through on the mailing list.

I need a better 2M antenna for satellites

During the last several weeks, efforts to contain COVID-19 have resulted in massive school closures worldwide, shutting down opportunities for ARISS school contacts for the near future.
