Has anyone got their QSL cards from contacts with Charles ? If not does anyone have any idea when we will get them ?

I sent another message to AMSAT about the qsl for suitsat. Here is the latest reply dated 5-24-2007
Hello Terry,

The SuitSat certificates are being printed by Goddard Space Flight Center, and should be done within a week. I apologize for the delay. The volunteer who was in charge of this project had a job change at NASA, and became incredibly busy during the past 8 months. It should be like a DXpedition QSL card, I think -- well worth the wait.

ISS amateur radio status report

Some short-term reconfigurations to the Kenwood radio, located onboard the International Space Station, were attempted yesterday, with limited success.

The preset channels that are used for many of the day to day operations are still inaccessible. The good news is that a few of the more commonly used configurations were able to be stored in the radio.

One of the modes that was able to be partially restored was the packet system but the operations will be on 145.825 simplex. General voice communication as well as configurations to support school contacts were also saved.

I was going to make the file available here but it's over the 2meg limit, about 2.4 meg. You can hear or download it from my website: www.kg6pom.org/iss52107sj.mp3
This is just the ISS audio, and I didn't get the entire pass but most of it.
Enjoy

Dear Alain & ISS Fan Club Members,

Since about 1992 the International Space Agency (ISA) has been asking the Member Nations of ISS to set up an Official Global International Space Station (ISS) Website?

We have suggested domains:
http://www.iss.gov
-or-
http://www.iss.int

This website would act as the neutral core and central reference point for all Member Nations to redirect ISS General Public and Media related internet traffic. This would allow all ISS public information globally to be directed to "ONE" neutrally managed ISS website. All ISS crew media interviews and video of ISS operations and launches to ISS could also be centrally presented on this central ISS Website.

Could someone please tell me if Suni is just making contact with chosen schools or is it possible

to hear her speaking with other "hams" ?

Thanks
Dave

Hi,

This evening whilst watching the ISS passing over South Africa from 16:58 UTC, visability brightness
at familiar normal level - until suddenly at 17:00 UTC a brilliant flash lasting about 1-2 seconds. WOW!
I guess at least -10m.

Calculations show, at the time this occured:
Azimuth to ISS very close to Azimuth to Sun.
Elevation to ISS very close to -Elevation to Sun (From my location).

If someone wants to run the math, my grid is KG44BD.

Has anybody else seen this?

Is it possible to run predictions when to watch out for this - would of course depend on ISS attitude and
