I haven't use my modem for the past twenty years. Yesterday, I tryed to use it and I got nothing. The modem turned on but nothing came out on the screen. I need some help on how to set up the Hyperterminal parameters. I am running Windows XP.

Many thanks,

Hugo

I was wondering if the ISS is going to be on the air on October 20th 2007 for the Jamboree-On-The-Air Boys Scouts of America event. It is very much like the nation wide event Field Day. However this event isworld wide. This year marks the 50th anniversary for the event. (depending
on which web site you look at). I would like to help the scouts in our area contact the ISS if possible with either voice or packet. If anyone has any information please let me know.

What happened with the school contact?

I heard N0EFT on the "downlink" frequency 145.800 calling for NA1SS. The question is how was I able to hear them in Manitoba when my antennas were pointed to the ISS. Was the radio on the ISS in repeater mode?

Will be interesting to hear what happened.

Hope the kids are not too disappointed, they might try again.

The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 13:39 UTC.
The contact will be a direct between stations NA1SS and N0EFT. The contact should be audible in most of eastern North America. Interested parties are invited to listen in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. In addition, the audio should be available via IRLP and EchoLink. The participants are expected to conduct the conversation in English.

Hopefully they will turn the radio back to packet afterwords w/o messing it up.

The time stamp is for Sep 4 at 2136 UTC.

The first beacon was reported at 2110 UTC by IGATE station JH4XSY in Japan. We'll have to watch and see how long it stays active.
