At 1954 UTC, W5RRR at Johnson Space Center in Houston had a successful personal contact with Mike Fincke. He wanted the opportunity to say thank you to the various ham support members. The repeater mode should be activated soon and remain on until the next school contact (Sept. 30)

Off for crossband repeat mode operations

BTW, tropo must be wild, I was able to copy signals after the ISS was well below the horizon to me.

Copied N5VHO making several voice contacts with other hams. Signal from the ISS here with my 7 element vert was S9+ for a good portion of the pass.

Just heard Mike working apparently the Goddard space flight center club station. He remarked he will place the ISS station into repeater mode for the weekend. Glenn - KB1GUE

The packet system is active over Australia on last pass. The PMS computer has been reset and the list is short. See the Forum msg for PMS list. Kevin VK3UKF
