Watching the recent rocket take off to the International Space Station one of
the experts mentioned that the station orbits earth 16 times per day, which I
think I heard before, but he went on to add something I had never thought about
previously that is - they get 15 sunrises and 15 sunsets.
Now consider - it is 2055 - you are working on that space station, get the
weekend off - you want to do one of the major CQ or ARRL contests - you like
to do all bands.
Each orbit is 90 minutes, you have 8 bands to work.
What operating schedule would you prepare ahead of the contest to work all of
those bands to the maximum?
A bit of fun to think about ahead of the holidays.
