On Christmas day 25 December 2005 and on Monday 26 December, ARISS
Russia and the Russian Space Agency Roscosmos/Energia, set up a special

Several Cosmonauts, among whom Sergei Krikalev and Aleksandr Kaleri,
will operate amateur radio from Korolev Rocket and Space Corporation
Energia as well as from GCTC, the Yuri Gagarin Russian Cosmonaut
Training Centre.

On Christmas day Korolev club station R3K will be operational on HF at
12:00 UTC. Frequencies will probably be 7080 KHz, 14180 KHz and 21280
KHz.

On Monday 26 December 2005, GCTC club station RK3DZB will possibly be
operational same time, same frequencies.

Moreover, on Christmas day and on Monday 26, during the evening passes
over

The times of the passes are:
25 December 2005: 20:56 UTC

Good luck on working Cosmonauts on VHF and on HF!
