Hello,

We are a group of Teachers and Students, currently in an Astronomy Camp. We would like to make contact with the crew from ISS, just to say hello and to wish them good luck. Does somebody know how can we get in contact with them? We don't have any high performance radio equipment, so we were thinking at an e-mail.

Thanks and have a nice day!

Dear OMs,

First, i may introduce myself.
My name is Horst and i am quite new to HAM radio and just got my licence a 4 month ago.

For APRS i use a Yaesu VX-8GE, usually tuned to 144,800Mhz. I am a bit familiar with the Digipath settings
and use either WIDE 1-1 (as Homestation) or WIDE 1-1 and WIDE 2-1 (as portable).

On 145,825MHz i am not sure about the Digipath i have to use, as there are plenty of options mentioned on the internet.

Here is my video and audio heard over Exeter/UK IO80GR received on Kenwood THD72 Handheld with 1/2 wave telescopic antenna.
ARISS direct contact via DN1JKG with students at Justus-Knecht-Gymnasium, Bruchsal, Germany, on Fri 2016-07-01 08:33 UTC 74 deg The astronaut is Jeff Williams, KD5TVQ.

Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:

1. Alexander, 17: (Welcoming speech in English and Russian) Is the space debris a threat for the ISS?

Anyone hear anything if the ISS may try some voice contacts for Field Day 2016?

Goodmorning everyone,
I would like to understand why the movement of the ISS (or in my opinion seems) vibrating:
It seems that it moves jerkily, not a linear movement.
This can be observed both to the naked eye, using one of the many sites that transmit the USTREAM channel of the station.

Thanks a lot!
