ISS SSTV
Does anyone knoes if the ISS is currently broadcasting SSTV signals?
By the way, it is possible that those SSTV signals could be on 145.825MHz?
Thanks in advance

U.S Spacewalk freqs
Having successfully heard the transmissions from the Russian Spacewalk today on my scanner, I am wondering if anyone can tell me what Frequncies the U.S use for their space walks.
Thanks

Just curious about VHF packet
Just curious - has anyone heard - if the plan is still a 'go' to resume VHF Ax.25 ISS unproto packet on 145.825 FM simplex sometime in September? I for one really miss this mode and miss all the qso's I used to regularly log. My radios, UISS, and SatGate are turned on and ready. Thanks, Dave K3AS from Oswego, New York.

Working the Voice Repeaters
The freqs are correct, eh? There is one cross-band split repeater that is U/v and the other is V/u with PL? And the UHF freq on both of these is the same -- 437.800? One repeater the UHF is up and on the other it is down?
Since one does not know the schedule of when things are turned on (is this correct?) then it would seem that one needs to listen on 437.800 before doing anything. If you hear someone there, then you know to use the V/u with PL. If you don't, then switch to the VHF downlink freq (145.800) and listen.

Program 5 SPLIT memory channels for ISS UHF packet!
Hello,
Due the doppler effect the ISS packet frequency on
UHF chance verry fast (much faster compared to VHF!).
If you program 5 split memory channels in your
transceiver (or HT) you can work the ISS packet
the whole pass.
For high elevation passes with ISS at AOS start
with M1 and you can work the ISS UHF packet system
several minutes.
The doppler effect chance verry fast when the ISS comes
close, go to M2 and if the ISS is at maximum -
elevation than go to M3.

M1 437.560Mhz 437.540Mhz
M2 437.555Mhz 437.545Mhz
