No ARISS for Venice: ISS Downlink intruders in Italy and other European countries

ISS Amateur Radio

Tomorrow a scheduled ARISS contact will take place in Italy and Italian Astronaut Paolo Nespoli will respond to questions asked by the students. It's a joyful event for Italy and anybody who is interested will be able to participate by simply tuning a portable radio on 145.800 MHz.

Anybody except students who reside in the Venice area.

Why? The explanation is simple, but hard to believe: the Italian Amateur Radio Association (or ARI, Chioggia section) decided to install  the IR3UEF repeater right on 145.800 MHz, the worldwide ISS downlink.

Apparently, Italy is not the only country invading the ISS frequencies, but still a good example to start investigating this issue.

UPDATE
11 January 2001: The 145.800 MHz port of IR3UEF has been shut down. Read more

Wishing all members a Very Happy New Year and good contacts with the ISS. Would be lovely to hear more voice contacts over the Southern Hemisphere however.
