  Title: STS-35 Shuttle Amateur Radio Experiment (SAREX) equipment stowed on middeck
  Description:
  STS-35 Shuttle Amateur Radio Experiment II (SAREX-II) window antenna is 
  shown in its stowage location (inside the window shade & filter kit) on the 
  middeck of JSC's Full Fuselage Trainer (FFT) located in the Mockup and 
  Integration Laboratory (MAIL) Bldg 9A.  The antenna was built at no cost to 
  the government by the Motorola Amateur Radio Club in Schaumburg, Illinois.  
  SAREX was designed to conduct shortwave radio transmissions between ground 
  amateur radio operators and a licensed onboard operator (in this case, 
  Parise).  Parise's call letters are WA4SIR.  SAREX will communicate with 
  amateur stations in Line-of-Site (LOS) of Columbia, Orbiter Vehicle (OV)
  102,  in one of four transmission modes: voice, Slow Scan Television
  (SSTV), data  or (uplink only) Fast Scan Television (FSTV).  SAREX is a
  jont effort of NASA  and the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) / Amateur
  Radio Satellite  Corporation (AMSAT).
