Calling International Space Station

Students from the Evangelisches Gymnasium in Lippstadt, Germany had a talk with Commander Bill McArthur, KC5ACR at the International Space Station (ISS) on March 8th. This is actually the fifth contact of a German school with the ISS. Such contacts are arranged by ARIS. There is a report at the ARRL website as well as in the ARRL Letter Vol. 25, No. 11 covering this event. Furthermore, I also want to mention the excellent German Podcast QTH Germany No. 005 produced by Norman, DL6YDY. The show is about 64 minutes long and gives a lot of background informations. There is also a video from a German television report linked at his site as well as a video produced by Norman.
