These missions will provide another opportunity for the public, especially
school children, to become directly involved in the U.S. space program and
Amateur Radio by participating with Amateur Radio operators communicating with
the shuttle.
Dates listed are tentative. If the mission is listed as DELAYED, keep
checking future postings of this file for new launch dates and times.
PAST FLIGHTS FOR HAM RADIO:
On November 28, 1983, STS-9 was launched carrying Mission Specialist Owen
Garriott, Amateur Radio call sign W5LFL, and his ham radio into orbit. For 10
days the Space Shuttle Columbia streaked through the skies, and for the last 7
of those days, hams around the world were sent emotionally into orbit when they
heard Dr. Garriott's voice break their squelches calling Earth-bound stations.
But it was just the beginning. Amateur Radio had moved into its newest
frontier, and it was there to stay.

HOW CAN I USE MY SHORTWAVE RADIO FOR NEWS AND INFORMATION ABOUT SAREX
AND TO EAVESDROP ON THE ASTRONAUTS?
[Ed. Note: This information is provided by the American Radio Relay League's
Educational Activities Department]
During a shuttle mission carrying the SAREX payload, news and Astronaut re-
transmissions are carried on these Amateur Radio stations:
Goddard Amateur Radio Club, WA3NAN, (Greenbelt, MD) news and re-transmissions
on Amateur Radio high frequency (HF) bands at 3.86, 7.185, 14.295, 21.395, and
28.65 MHz and on VHF at 147.45 MHz.
Johnson Space Center Amateur Radio Club, W5RRR, (Houston, TX) news bulletins on
HF bands at 3.850, 7.227, 14.280, 21.350, and 28.400 MHz and VHF at 146.64 MHz.
ARRL (Newington, CT) Amateur Radio station, W1AW, news bulletins (9:45 PM,
12:45 AM EST) on HF bands at 3.99, 7.29, 14.29, 18.16, 21.39, 28.59 and VHF at
147.555 MHz.
These stations, and several VHF and UHF repeater groups, will re-transmit the
signals on most amateur bands so that you and the students can hear the
communications. You will hear NASA Mission Commentary, frequent bulletins to
advise listeners of astronaut-planned transmissions, and amateur two-way voice
and amateur television transmissions with the shuttles. Using a simple
hand-held transceiver, you can open the world of science to hundreds of
youngsters. Students themselves can take part in the shuttle flight via a
packet message, and some will even be able to talk directly to the astronauts
in orbit.
Listen also to the ARRL Bulletins on W1AW (see the ARRL's monthly journal,
"QST", for Morse code and voice bulletins) on a daily basis; and to the AMSAT
International Satellite Nets on Tuesdays, 3.840 MHz, 0130Z to 0300Z, and on
Sundays, 14.282 MHz, 1800Z to 2100Z, +/- QRM.
