[amsat-bb] Amateur radio and the ISS in a play in San Francisco

[Doug Faunt N6TQS +1-510-655-8604 <faunt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,
The Magic Theatre in SF has a tradition of presenting plays that have
significant amount of science in them, and the newest full play is of
particular interest.  It's called _Expedition 6_ and is about the team
of astronauts and a cosmonaut that were on board the ISS when the
Columbia exploded.

One brief scene shows an amateur radio contact between NA1SS and club
station N4ISS.

I didn't think the show was an unqualified success but was pretty
good.

And half-price tickets can be picked up at the Tix Bay Area booth at
Union Square.
