Astronauts at HamVention

A space forum at the Dayton HamVention will feature two NASA shuttle
astronaut-hams, Tony England, W0ORE, and Steve Nagel, N5RAW.  The
forum will commemorate 10 years of Amateur Radio aboard the
shuttles.

Tony England flew on the second ham radio mission, in 1985, while
Steve Nagel, a veteran of several shuttle flights, most recently
commanded shuttle flight STS-55 in 1993.  The two will discuss their
Amateur Radio experiences from space and answer questions.

Also at the forum will be members of the ARRL SAREX Working Group,
including ARRL Educational Activities Manager Rosalie White, WA1STO,
and Roy Neal, K6DUE, a principal coordinator of the shuttle Amateur
Radio project.

The forum is scheduled for 1 PM on Saturday, April 30, in Forum Room
5 at Hara Arena.
