The Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) cross-band
repeater will be available for ARRL Field Day[1], June 26 - 27. Contacts will
count toward Field Day bonus points as satellite contacts and Field Day
contacts.

Field Day rules limit stations to one contact on any single-channel FM
satellite. Note that contacts made during Field Day by ISS crew would only
count for contact credit, but not for satellite bonus points. ISS cross-band
repeater contacts are also valid AMSAT Field Day satellite contacts.

The ARISS cross-band repeater uplink is 145.990 MHz (67 Hz tone), with a
downlink of 437.800 MHz.

ARISS suggests that those unfamiliar with the ISS repeater may want to practice
with it prior to Field Day. ARISS had planned to switch modes to the Automatic
Packet Reporting System (APRS) during the second week of June, but this won't
happen until after the first ARISS school contact following ARRL Field Day.

The ARISS ham station will be off-air during spacewalks on June 16 and June 20.
-- Thanks to ARISS
