Our amateur radio club and a local middle school have been training to prepare for an upcoming ARISS contact. One thing we did to help the students overcome mic fright was to have one of our members simulate an astronaut. We had him talk to the students via HT and let them rehearse their questions. We are also doing this right before the event with full set up so they know what to expect.

 

That is awesome! Great way to introduce the kids to the Hobby! I hope you get some new hams out of the contact!

 

How about a link to the show for those of us who may have not heard of it before. If you want listeners you have to make it easy for them to find you.
