This date 1-31-09 I received a digipeat from WB9L in Indiana, 1924 miles away via ISS digipeat on 145.825. UI-View32, in its station list, provides a distance calculation.

Anyone have a longer digipeat?

You probably know Dr. Charles Simonyi will fly again to spend almost a fortnight aboard ISS and will deal with amateur radio activity for sure.

The launch of Soyuz TMA-14 is planned on March 25th 2009.

It would be nice to see when he plans to switch on the ISS radio station -although the simplest way seems to be listening to him as often as we can.

There must be someone int the States -or elsewhere who would encourage Charles to handle pile ups when operating in HF DX style during one or two orbits time to time!

I have found two URLs where there are information about activities planned and done aboard ISS:

QSL instructions do not seem terribly clear to me.

For a QSO with RS0ISS, shall I QSL via:

- RN3DK (because I worked RS0ISS)
- or via F1MOJ (because I am European) ?

Thanks in advance for answer.

Does the ISS SSTV broadcast in Scotty1? Thanks

La Estación Internacional ISS, pasa por Neuquén en SILENCIO.-

I talked to the ISS back in Oct. I sent them a QSL card with a SASE and I still havent recieved a card from them. Does anyone know how long it normally takes to get one back?

Have been listening to 145.8 and 437.8 as they pass withing range for all of today and last night, but hearing absolutely nothing - Are they in some other mode??.

Have been waiting anxiously to make my 1st QSO with ISS as I worked on many components at KSC.

Congratulations to the Ohio fellow! :-)

Just spoke with Mike at 20:10 UTC from Columbus, Ohio. Excellent signal and used the 144.49 Uplink/145.80 Downlink. I'm still excited. This was my second ham radio contact ever.

Pretty new to all this..... so please excuse a newbie !!

Just saw the ISS streaking across the sky at 17:10 (28/01/09) .... very clear skies and easily visible.... much easier to spot than I anticipated and moving much quicker than I expected.....

Have been logging on to known frequencies....but heard nothing yet.... :-(

Will be checking again in another 90 mins to watch it go by again...:-)

Hello,

Tony I0JX reports having his first voice QSO with ISS on Jan 25th at 1900z.
Unfortunately he did not record it. Did anybody in Europe record that pass?

by the way congrats Tony!
