Anyone know if there is a plan for ops to be on the air during Field Day June23/4?

Since the power plug outlet that was used by the Kenwood D700 has apparently been trumped by the air purifier, is there a possiblilty that packet will be permanently shifted from the original 145.825 VHF to UHF? That might disrupt a lot of amateurs' ability to work the ISS digipeater, including my own.

ARISS/NASA guru Ken Ransom N5VHO reports that the ISS' Kenwood D700 radio is off due to an air purifier running in the Service Module 24/7, and it uses the same power outlet that the Kenwood radio uses.

They only power the purifier off for scheduled ham events and then re-activate right afterwards.

Ken also advises that Flight Engineer Pettit reports the Columbus radio should be back up on packet operating on 437.550.

Hi guys!

I was called ISS today, operator Bob, on 14246khz at 0240GMT. I was told the hight is 47000 feet and the callsign is exactly "ISS" - International Space Station. The operator had been on my QRG for at least 5 min and he had the sound and the strength of the signal like /am station. I wonder if somebody else worked this ISS call or not? Did I work UFO ISS? ))

73!

Greetings all..

I am new to working APRS. I am seeing conflicting info about uplink and downlink freqs for ISS digipeater. Is it 145.825 up/down? I am seeing some things list 145.99 uplink. I hear the ISS and decode it fine on 145.825.

Second question- I am running UISS pro with the path set:
to: APEG02
via: RS0ISS-4

Is this correct? I am also running a satgate connected to the net. Can I still run the satgate while trying to digi through the ISS at the same time?

Thanks so much for the help!

Will the ISS be making voice contacts on Field Day 2012?

Does anyone have a recording of the 5/24 contact. The contact was at 10am Arizona time between the ISS and Northland Prep. Academy in Flagstaff Arizona. I was the radio operator and made a recording directly from the mixer at the school. Unfortunately the recording was lost due to a technical issue.

Does the ISS still do SSTV?

CAN ANY STATION CONFIRM DRAGON C2+ BEACON FREQUENCY ? FROM ZL1KJ
