Hello -

If you have 2 mtr capability you might be interested to know that there 
will be another Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) 
school contact over our area tomorrow, Monday, April 21.  It will be a 
direct contact with the Dixon Elementary School in Holly Ridge, North 
Carolina (NC4OC). 

It will be an ascending pass (southwest to northeast), peaking in the 
southeast, and the times for both you and the school are shown below.

           Northern VA
        TIME (UTC)   AZ/EL
 Rise:   18:09:12   205/0
 Peak:   18:14:19   133/27
 Set:    18:19:32    61/0
