I can not seem to get my FM transceiver to work, or I do not understand how to contact. Would anyone be willing to contact for me?
All I want to ask, is for one volunteer austronaut to send a picture down, of him/her self holding a paper that reads "G I S H W H E S conquers space."
It's for charity, and costs them nothing. Just a simple picture would be more than enough for our organization.

A few Amateur Radio operators were talking about the next ISS pass would be around 9.00 Central last night. I had company over to visit so we decided to go out and watch the ISS pass. It was coming from the south west and moving north east , as we were watching we also spotted 2 moving objects above the ISS many miles above both looked alike with the naked eye, shape, color, etc. As the ISS was straight over head we watched the 2 other objects one was on the ISS track, but passed and went due east 10,000 times faster than the ISS, the other object went due south at the same speed.

Hi!

As part of AMSAT's presence at the ARRL Centennial Convention in Hartford (Connecticut) on 17-19 July 2014, I had planned to do a series of demonstrations of satellite operating. On Saturday, 19 July 2014, I extended this to include trying to hear the ISS as it flew near the convention. I had three workable passes that morning, which I tried from the plaza in front of the convention site...

We had the privilege of working Reid on board the ISS during the ARRL Field Day 28JUN14...

Thanks to Reid for literally "being on the air from anywhere!!"

NASA astronaut Gregory Wiseman KF5LKT will answer questions from two groups of students in two different countries.
The radio contact with the International Space Station will be established by the ARISS Telebridge ground station IK1SLD, located in northern Italy.
Signals from the ISS will be audible over Europe on 145.800 FM.

will the Iss be making contacts during the field day 2014

for sometime i used to enjoy using the talk thru repeater on the iss

but this has not been available for some years

hopefully better equipment will allow it in the future

you might have thought the heating problem would have been sorted out on the ground and equipment capable of doing the job would have been used

perhaps they could put a fan over the d710 to keep it cool?
