Tonight, in about 9 hours at 8:19 PM CDT (UTC-5) a transit of the International Space Station will be coinciding with the start of a Star Party at the University of Illinois Springfield Campus Observatory.

I, N9KWK, will be activating the #ISS repeater from grid square EM59. See if you can hear me and respond! I will have an audience, so it would be nice to get some activity. #AmateurRadio #HamRadio
