Talking to Astronauts: An Elementary School’s Exciting ARISS Contact
Presented by Diane Warner, KE8HLD
This   is a story about Tallmadge Elementary School's participation in a   once-in-a-lifetime ARISS (Amateur Radio on the International Space   Station) school contact. You'll learn about their amazing journey   leading up to the amateur radio contact with an astronaut on the   International Space Station. The excitement of the entire experience was   shared not just by the students, but included faculty, parents,   community, and local amateur radio operators. You will also learn how to begin the process of submitting your own ARISS contact proposal.

March 6- MAINE VIRTUAL HAMFEST - SATURDAY MARCH 6 FROM 9-4

This EVENT is FREE. I know that price pleases many people and why wouldn’t it? 

 We are asking that people register so that we can have a headcount of how many people to expect to attend virtually. 

 We have 5 talks  scheduled, all of which will be live. No talks are pre-recorded which  will give people an opportunity for Q&A to have your questions  answered.


Only one meeting has been scheduled, so if your club is looking to have a meeting during the conference, please let me know.

If  you know of somebody who has not registered yet and they are not  computer savvy, there are phone call in options for those who do not  have internet or a computer. Please reply to me with contact name and  phone number and I will reach out to them with dial-in options.


The Conference Talks will be on Zoom. Those rooms will be limited to 500 people.

There  will be other rooms for Eyeball QSOs for people to gather and chat,  catch up with one another. These meetings will be on Freeconferencecall.


You can see more information about the Maine Virtual Hamfest at the following website:
