This morning 8 okt. 2009 during the ISS pass of 11.15 h local, (Alphen aan den Rijn, The Netherlands)
I received this recording: http://members.ziggo.nl/janosmail/ISS20.wav
at 143.6250.
Can anybody tell me what this is ?

Hi all,

About 20 minutes after an ISS pass, I hear 1200bd packet frames on the same frequency.

What sat could this be, PC-SAT?

Recording of the interview of a school (in Belgium I think) with a Belgian astronaut
in Vlamisch at 145.8000 at 7 okt. 2009 12.23 h local in Alphen aan den Rijn ,The Netherlands.

This afternoon I received an interview with the lady astronaut, this morning arrived
together with the circus-director at the ISS by Soyuz-TM, during the pass over The Netherlands.
Receiving was at 145.8000 MHz FM by mine Uniden UBC3500xlt scanner and my home-made 137,5 MHz QFH antenna.
I have also a recording of the interview with the circus-director (in France) but this is a lower quality.

I have created a new satellite status page that might interest you.

Hi all

I am curious to know which way the packet radio antenna on the ISS is aligned relative to its plane of motion. In other words is one draws a tangential line along the path the ISS is travelling is the antenna parralel to that plane (ie does the antenna point towards where the ISS is going) or is it at right angles to its plane of motion?

Another way of saying this would be do I align my antenna parrallel to the ISS's orbit or perpendicular to it?

This would be handy to know when aligning one's antenna or beam.

What is the most user friendly packet software available to use with a rigbuster nomic and XP. I mean easy to use just for the iss application. I am more interested in easy to use than cost.

Wondering if there are any activity plans during upcoming Ex.21 crew with Space Tourist on-board. Not sure if the new Space Tourist is licensed.

Seems the Russian MAI-75 experiment will be active again on Sept 24 and 25 from about 1000-1600 UTC. Robot 36 is the expected mode and images should come down on 145.80 MHz.

Good luck capturing some Earth views.

This video shows the ISS passing over the Netherlands (Europe) as a bright,
moving star. You hear bursts of digital communication (APRS) and see them decoded on screen.

Featured in the HD movie are the following radio-amateurs:
LA4FPA, G6HMS, IW9FRA, ON7DS, YO8RBY, PA3GUO, OE1CWJ, UA1CAS and SP9TTX.

Enjoy !
Henk, PA3GUO

ps: this video nicely demonstrates APRS as an efficient communication technology
