The Expedition Five crewmembers will spend several hours today working on the International Space Station's treadmill exercise machine. They will replace the Treadmill Vibration Isolation System, or TVIS, which malfunctioned in July.

Prediction received from WB4APR Bob including the 3 planned ISS maneuvers over the next weeks. If you have a pass of EITHER spacecraft during these windows, you have a chance at witnessing a double hop path.

Message received from WB4APR, Bob Bruninga: "..This was pass of ISS and PCsat over USA with PCsat almost directlly 500 miles overhead of ISS over Newfoundland.....".

After some tests I have worked Valery on phone quite easily with 50 w and a 9 elements two meters above the ground on my roof-garden.
I am very glad I have been talking with him after so many years since his last mission on MIR.
