Nothing over Europe ...

I am trying for some time to contact NA1SS from Serbia but I never hear Voice on 145.800.
Often there is activity on PACKET on 145.825.

When there is NO activity on PACKET I was hoping that there is a good chance to hear VOICE but again - nothing.

Last night (27.oct.2010) nothing on VOICE or PACKET over Europe at 23:02 UTC. As I can see here there is VOICE activity over USA around that time.
Is NA1SS making contacts with Europe or it is only USA?

I tried VHF uplink 145.200 (Europe ITU Region 1) and 144.490 (ITU Region 2&3) and nothing happened.

that was strange....it just faded away...

I'm in Michigan, and tonight's ISS fly-by was scheduled for 8:18:56 PM, and I was outside to see it. As it came into view, it got brighter and brighter. Soon enough it was directly overhead and very bright. Then, within a few seconds, it just faded to nothing...gone. I've never seen it do that before. Does anyone know why it does that? Did it do something to fade from view entirely? Plz advz. It's gonna fly over all this week thru Sunday.

Setting up a TS-850S

Hello,

This is Alex, KC4JFA. I just purchased a TS-790A and can't seem to figure out how to set the odd frequency shift for the ISS.

When I push the offset button, I am getting several offsets but none that are near the 1.32 shift. Is there something I am missing in the manual or is there some kind of hack that I need to do to get this rig to work for me. I set the 145.800 REC but can't seem to figure out how to input the 144.49 XMIT???!!! GRRRRRRR.

Predict says not visible

I've noticed that the prediced passes for my location typically indicate that the ISS is not visible. Why is that?

Listening to ISS online

Hi All...

I'm new to trying to listen to ISS. I was wondering if anyone knows, or if it is permitted, of a url link where I can listen to the ISS on a continuous, or near to, feed?

Cheers...

Set up an appointment for contact with school age kids

I am new to ham radio, I have a 14 year old son semi interested in becoming a Ham, I believe that if he had the chance to talk to Col. Wheelock it would boost his interest! In thinking this I thought to myself what a better way to get more of the younger generation interested than to have a "party" and let them all listen in as the ISS called us on the 2M frequency!
With that said I am curious how you go about setting up such a contact appointment? If anyone out there knows of a way please let me know!
Thank you in advance for all of your help!
