  Title: STS-35 Payload Specialist Parise sets up SAREX on OV-102's middeck
  Description:
  STS-35 Payload Specialist Ronald A. Parise enters data into the payload and 
  general support computer (PGSC) in preparation for Earth communication via 
  the Shuttle Amateur Radio Experiment (SAREX) aboard Columbia, Orbiter
  Vehicle  (OV) 102.  The SAREX equipment is secured to the middeck starboard
  sleep  station. SAREX provided radio transmissions between ground based
  amateur  radio operators around the world and Parise, a licensed amateur
  radio  operator.   The experiment enabled students to communicate with an
  astronaut  in space, as Parise (call-sign WA4SIR) devoted some of his
  off-duty time to  that purpose.  Displayed on the forward lockers beside
  Parise is a AMSAT  (Amateur Radio Satellite Corporation) / ARRL (American
  Radio Relay League)  banner.  Food items and checklists are attached to the
  lockers.  In locker  position MF43G, the Development Test Objective (DTO)
  Trash Compaction and  Retention System Demonstration extended duration
  orbiter (EDO) compactor is  visible.
