[João Costa > CT1FBF]

Bidding is now underway – Out of This World ARISS auction!

The bidding has begun!  The *Out of This World ARISS Auction* is speeding
along!  It will run until April 14th at 22:00 UTC.

Bidders are moving fast hoping to garner a special astronaut signed brand
new JVC Kenwood TS-890S - Bidding is done by going to www.ariss.org and
pressing the Auction Website button or by visiting
http://www.ebay.com/itm/323770952171.


You could own this one-of-a-kind beautiful *Kenwood TS-890S*; your ham
station
would boast the *only* Kenwood in the world showcasing astronaut signatures

Similar for bidding on a special astronaut signed 6-volume boxed set 2019
ARRL Handbook, but a different URL is used—see
http://www.ebay.com/itm/323770952890 .

Thanks to JVC Kenwood and ARRL, proceeds from the on-line auction will
benefit ARISS in its quest to  launch a new custom-built higher-power radio
system in late 2019 with its voice repeater and improved packet APRS and
SSTV capability that thousands of hams can enjoy. The new system will
replace the aging, problematic units currently on the ISS.  ARISS also
needs funding to keep introducing ham radio to thousands of students,
teachers, parents, and whole communities—and inspiring students about
STEM and radio.

*Kenwood* has been a super supporter of ARISS for years, and it was the
company’s idea for this special radio to be an exclusive for one ham to
own. The limited edition boxed set 2019 ARRL Handbook sold out fast last
fall but ARRL saved back one set for ARISS's fund-raiser.  AMSAT-NA,
another ARISS sponsor, provided parts of the auction infrastructure. ARISS
is thankful for all of its great sponsors and supporters!

If auctions aren't your thing, please contribute a donation to ARISS—look

*About ARISS*

*Amateur Radio on the International Space Station*(ARISS) is a cooperative
venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies
that support the International Space Station (ISS). In the United States,
sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American
Radio Relay League (ARRL), the Center for the Advancement of Science in
space (CASIS) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

The primary goal of ARISS is to promote exploration of science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics (STEM) topics by organizing scheduled contacts
via amateur radio between crew members aboard the ISS and students in
classrooms or public forms. Before and during these radio contacts,
students, educators, parents, and communities learn about space, space
technologies, and amateur radio.
