Amateur radio, out of this world

The NASA Web site has an excellent article about the ARISS program.

You can read it at:

In Canada, the Sponsors are the Canadian Space Agency, Radio Amateurs of Canada and AMSAT.

Since the start of the program, there have been 21 Canadian schools that have had a contact with an astronaut aboard the International Space Station and we have another 11 waiting for their turn to come up.

If you know of a Canadian school interested in this adventure, refer them to me and we will take it from there.
