The Boring Amateur Radio Club is pleased to announce that they will
be taking part in a grade school QSO with the International Space
Station on Wednesday, the 6th of March.  The QSO will start at 
1901 UTC and last about 10 minutes.  

If you are in the west half of the USA, you should be able to hear the
last half of the QSO.  Stations on the east coast might only be able to
hear the last minute.  Obviously, if you are in the Northwest, you will
be able to hear the whole thing.  You should be able to hear the ISS
with just an HT.  

The downlink frequency is 145.80 MHz.  Sorry, you won't be able to hear
the kids, but it is a rare chance to hear the astronauts.
