[A.J. Farmer (AJ3U)]

Sorry for the late notice.  There is an ISS School contact today:

Hermann Middle School, Hermann, Missouri, USA
Wed 2005-11-16 18:58 UTC (2:58PM EST)

You should be able to listen to the tail end of this contact on from
your home or mobile rig, or your HT (outside).  No special equipment
is required.  Just tune to 145.80 FM and open your squelch.  You
should start hearing the ISS by 3:05PM EST.

Note you will only be able to hear the answers to the questions on the
downlink from the ISS.  Here is the list of questions that will be
asked by the students:

work did you do?
