ARLS006 ARISS to Conduct Digital Amateur Radio TV Transmitter Test
on June 1

ARISS will conduct a test of the "Ham Video" digital Amateur Radio
television transmitter on the Columbus of the International Space
Station on Friday, June 1. The transmitter has not been working for
several weeks.

According to an announcement from ARISS Mentor Gaston Bertels,
ON4WF, the transmitter will be powered down, the antenna feed line
will be connected to the second S-band antenna, and the transmitter
will be powered up.

ISS crew members are scheduled to perform these operations at 1725
UTC on June 1, about 45 minutes before the space station passes
above Europe (at 1840 UTC). Ground stations are invited to monitor
for the signal and to report. Anyone can monitor the test online at,
