Out of This World Auction sponsored by ARISS

The ARISS-US team (Amateur Radio on the International Space Station) will
auction two very unusual items in its first-ever auction!

Picture yourself as the winning bidder and proud owner of a unique JVC
Kenwood TS-890S *signed by astronauts*! Or, you could be top bidder on a
special *astronaut-signed* 6-volume boxed set *2019 ARRL Handbook* !

Bidding starts April 8th at 12:00 UTC and ends April 14th at 22:00 UTC.

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.

Your top bid on the limited edition boxed-set *2019 ARRL Handbook for Radio
Communications* would mean your bookshelf includes astronaut signatures
among your book collection.

*JVC Kenwood*, a proud supporter of ARISS, generously gave a brand new
TS-890S for ARISS to auction.  They first offered the radio for sale in the
US in the last half of 2018. Kenwood has been a super supporter of ARISS
for years, and it was the company’s idea for this radio, with astronaut
signatures, to be an exclusive that just one ham operator could own! The
company hopes you’ll be a bidder who wants to support ARISS.

The limited edition *2019 ARRL Handbook for Radio Communications*sold out
fast once ARRL posted their ad. It was the first time that ARRL divided the
Handbook into volumes, which nestle in a hard slipcase. *ARRL*, an ARISS
sponsor along with AMSAT and NASA, saved back one boxed set to give ARISS
for the fund-raiser auction.

When you bid in this auction you could be the crucial person who helps
ARISS launch its new custom-built higher-power radio system in 2019 with
its voice repeater and improved packet APRS and SSTV capability that
thousands of hams enjoy. The new system will replace the aging, problematic
units currently on the ISS. You may be the winning bidder who helps ARISS
continue introducing ham radio to thousands of students, teachers, parents,
and whole communities—and inspiring students about science, technology,
engineering, math, and radio!

Don't forget; set yourself a reminder: bidding starts April 8th at 12:00
UTC and ends April 14th at 22:00 UTC.

Be the winning bidder for one or both of these two exclusive offerings and
you’ll own a rare article that makes your ham station a classic! More
auction details will soon be posted at www.ariss.org including that winning
bidders will be responsible for shipping costs and for handling any
required customs paperwork. ARISS thanked JVC Kenwood and ARRL for their
generous support.

And if you don’t do auctions, please contribute a donation to help ARISS
launch its new radio system into space—look for the Donate button near the
top right corner of the www.ariss.org page. Thank you!

*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.
