Hello everyone,
I'm a recent ham (VA3JUV) and my goal was one day to contact the ISS.
After some extensive research I came up with system:
Antenna - OSCAR Hy-gain VB216-SAT
Rotator - YAESU G-5500
Controller - ARS universal antenna controller
Tx/rx - no decision yet.

Can anyone confirm that this is a good setup for ISS contact b4 I go out and invest money on it?
Thank you

The Expedition 16 crew of the International Space Station returned to science and station maintenance activities Tuesday after Monday's successful test approach of the Jules Verne Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV).

Commander Peggy Whitson and Flight Engineer Garrett Reisman worked together to set up equipment for a periodic physical fitness evaluation. Reisman exercised on the station's cycle ergometer while wearing a heart rate monitor. Whitson collected data from this session, which exercise physiologists and flight surgeons will use to assess Reisman's health and make adjustments to his exercise regimen if needed.
