ADDENDUM:
To all,
Note this is sent to a bunch of groups all over GA, FL, AL, TX, TN, NC, and SC... So the 2m frequency down link frequency will not work for you unless you are in the ISS footprint as it passes over Walnut Grove on the 2nd... (Added note: I do not know in what state that school is located. A quick search shows schools by that name in both Southlake, TX and AL and I presume that this is the AL school. Sorry for the spin up but you can still participate on the web...see below. k5prs)
Please forward this to all your email groups...
To block future ARISS contact info, simply Mute #ARISS at the bottom of this message...

-------------------------------------
The ARISS contact at Walnut Grove Elementary School is scheduled for Thursday, April 2, 11:40:55a.
There are a couple of ways to listen in or watch the event, they are:
1. By radio - tune to 145.800MHz. The track of the ISS will be from SW to NE, 70-degrees above the horizon. At its highest point it will be somewhat east of us. Remember, you will only be able to hear the astronaut side of the conversation,
2. Live stream - here are the links: https://youtube.com/live/J1XJHvr4UIU or live.ariss.org. The live stream will start approximately 1 hour before contact. The school has prepared an incredible program for the event. Rumor has it that both 11Alive and Fox5 will be there to cover the contact.
I hope you all will have a chance to listen or watch the event.
