Our RARS newsletter has a five page article and nine pages of photos about our @ARISS_Intl contact with astronaut Chris Williams KJ5GEW last Friday!

The contact, led by @johnbrier on the radio side, was made possible by a grant from @ARDC for a “Space Communications Outreach Portable Ground Station” or SCOPG! The SCOPG will greatly increase our club capacity for space comms.
