1. Upcoming School Contacts
Borough of New Providence, NJ, Summer Playground Camp in New Providence, New
Jersey has been scheduled for an Amateur Radio on the International Space
Station (ARISS) contact on Thursday, July 30 at 17:24 UTC. This is a town
sponsored summer camp activity, primarily for elementary school children (K
– 6). The New Providence Amateur Radio Club (NPARC) has been involved with
this type of camp for the last five years. It regularly provides an
introduction to amateur radio on the air by setting up HF and VHF stations
and has the campers communicate with hams around the world. The ARISS
contact is an obvious extension of this activity.

BTW, Barry K2JV was on our repeater recently with a bunch of kids practicing
for this ARISS contact (using the club call, N2XJ).
