Can anyone tell me if the Kenwood in the service module is still operating the digipeater on 145.825 or is it going to be turned off indefinitely

Hi, I saw a recording posted for Mike Fossum's school and ham contacts on 11/1 (11/01/2011 20:05 UTC Mike Fossum School Contact and General Contacts with Ground Stations); curious if anyone caught the eastern US contacts that same day, after the posted recording ended.? I heard him talk to Maryland and Vancouver, (as well as me in New Hampshire).

Thank you in advance,
Mike

Hi
I am new to monitering the ISS via the ham frequencies. I would like to use 2m frequencies while mobile any tips or advise, frequescies to monitor ets would be great.
Anything at all.

Incredible experience; driving home from work I heard them on the downlink frequency, so I listened to get the rhythm of exchanges. After a minute of nervous waiting and hearing contacts made to Maryland and Vancouver, I threw the call out a few times (from New Hampshire) and he came right back. It was so cool and I can't believe I was able to do this mobile with a whip antenna on the trunk. Great experience. Wish I could have recorded it.

Does anyone know why it is not active in APRS?

This may sound like 'sour grapes' but most voice contacts are with the USA or Italy...Infact there was a school contact to a US school this evening that had to be made from an Internet linked station in Italy.

Has the ISS forgotten us in the UK....Just in case you have forgotten....We are in between !!!!! and before you all say 'it's done by skeds' yes I know but I bet if there was any 'spare time' for a rag chew it would be when over the USA (funny that isn't it!)

Now I'll sit back and take a bashing.

Also visual at that time.

Mike flew right over the house. Space station was nice and bright and clear. It was really cool. Tried a call but Mike wasn't on. Safe travels all, safe travels.

Hello everybody.

I'm not sure this is the right place to post the following text. I've always been fascinated by the ISS, and sometimes I daydream of different aspects of this adventure.

The following text is prompted by the fact that a lot of material is lost in the functioning of the ISS, and in space programs in general, so I tried to imagine how to resolve the issue.
