Radios off for Progress docking

The amateur radios were turned off about 1400 UTC today for the Progress docking. ISS should return to normal packet operations as soon as the crew has time to power the radio back on.

ISS visible in the sky on europe!

Hello All,

The ISS is visible too see in the sky at the evening
passes on europe (after sunset when it's getting darker).
It looks like a bright (fast) flying star (no flashing lights!).

Take also your handheld outside and listen on 145.800Mhz FM.
In case the ISS signals are weak than trie to hold your HT in -
horizontal position.
Its also possible to trie to access the ISS repeater with HT but
that requeres some skills with doppler correction on UHF uplink.

Observations and Measurements of Cross-band Repeater, Fri June 23

Fellow ISS Team,

Passing along some observations and measurements taken today which might help you for Field Day.

Rig is a Kenwood TM-D700 running 10 watts (unverified) into a trunk-lid mounted 1/4 wave UHF and VHF antennas, combined using a diplexor. TX freq is 437.800 Mhz, RX freq is 145.800 Mhz. No attempts were made to compensate for doppler frequency shift. Location was BL11dh.

At 5:24 pm local, had a 55 degree ascending pass to the east. The usable repeater time was 1 minute 40 seconds.

At 7:02 pm local time, had a 5 degree ascending pass to the west. The usable repeater time was 15 seconds.

worked ISS repeater with little vertical antenna.

Hello All,

I made several QSO's with a little comet ground plane
antenna on the UHF uplink (on top of the roof).
I worked (easy) several stations.
