From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.
February 6, 2005
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-037.05a
The Air Training Corps 1132 Squadron of Stalham High School in Norfolk,
England
successfully made a contact with the ISS. The cadets spoke with Leroy
Chiao on
Wednesday, February 2, at 12:54 UTC.
A recording of the contact between GB3ATC and the ISS was made by
Howard Long,
G6LVB, AMSAT-UK ARISS Rep.
It can be found at:

All 20 questions 100%.
About 3 minutes 20 seconds in we had a fade that was corrected within a
second so by changing polarisation. We missed a couple of words of an
answer, but that was it. Apart from the fade, the signal end-stopped
throughout.
The ISS was still in packet for the first minute, but Leroy came
through.
[ANS thanks Howard, G6LVB for the above information]
