Giant leap for Kiwi kids

An out of this world school activity has seen 21 students from a small Wairarapa school become the first Kiwis ever to make contact with the International Space Station via amateur radio.

An American astronaut on board the space station, Mike Fincke, got a call on Thursday night from some Featherston children.

"We're on the International Space Station, we're about 360 kilometres above the earth, travelling about 26,000 kilometres an hour, which is very fast by the way," Fincke said.

The 21 lucky pupils from St Teresa's school have become the first New Zealanders to ever reach out and touch someone so far away via ham radio.

They fired questions at the space station's commander on all the big issues such as what does your bedroom look like and what do you sleep on.

Fincke told the children that sleep in space is really fun. "I have a sleeping bag and I just tie it on to the wall of my little bedroom."

The space station in real time orbits the earth every 90 minutes which gave the children just 10 minutes to get though their chat. To make sure the mission would be a success Nasa insisted their questions be submitted a year ago.

But it was a close enough encounter to leave the students with their heads in the stars.

Global Emergency Network Marks Record

The Global ALE High Frequency Network (HFN) -- an international Amateur Radio Service organization of ham operators dedicated to emergency/relief radio communications -- has become the first network to operate continuously for more than 500 days on all international Amateur Radio shortwave bands simultaneously. According to HFN International ALE Coordinator Bonnie Crystal, KQ6XA, the main purpose of the Network is to provide efficient emergency and disaster relief communications to remote areas of the world. "Beginning with a core group of six North American radio operators in June 2007, HFN rapidly expanded to cover large areas of the planet with 24/7 digital communications," she said."HFN was designed to be an open framework for global Amateur Radio emergency services to interoperate on HF using the Automatic Link Establishment (ALE) system." Relying on ionospheric radio communications, interconnected HFN base stations scan the radio bands every 10 seconds, from 3.5 MHz-28.0 MHz. Through this Net, Crystal said, ham operators stay connected with each other at all hours of the day or night in any mode of operation, and can send Internet e-mail or cell phone mobile text messages from the field."
