ISS Radio Report 40872
Date/Time:

PACKET

Uplink:
VHF
Downlink:
145.825 Description:
Packet Radio heard during ISS pass over Montreal, Canada (from 18:03 to 18:09 UTC).
The ISS packet callsign doesnt showed up on my PC screen, as it normally do when I hear a packet radio beacon.
But the signal was strong. So I will try again on their next pass... maybe I need to adjust something on my side.
Anyway, it is good to hear them back on the air. Packet Radio allows me to test reception/transmission between my radio and the ISS, but my final objective is to establish, one day, a short ham radio contact with an astronaut aboard ISS.
Thanks and good luck to everyone.
De Chris, VE2VAE.
