Merci Alain pour ce travail pendant 17 ans et pour tout le temps passé à maintenir le site. Du temps qui n'est pas extensible et que vous avez sûrement pris sur d'autres activités
Il n'y a jamais assez de monde qui se rend compte du travail que cela nécessite. Il me manquera, comme à beaucoup d'autre je pense.
Mon dernier mot sera : Chapeau !!

Thanks Alain for all the work you made 17 years long. And for all the time you spent maintening the site. time which can't be extended and that you've certainly taken from oters activities.
There are never enough people who realise the amount of work needed by this job. It will miss me, as it will to many users I think.
My last word will be : Chapeau !!

PS : Please excuse the mistakes I may have done in english, i didnt practise since many years.

sad to see the site is to close, but it has provided a great service to the HAM community for 17 years, with information and news about Ham Radio aboard the ISS, somewhere to post SSTV images from the ISS, and those regular updates for activity on various frequencies.
it will be missed even more now that the replacement packet equipment has arrived on the ISS from Progress 71P

Hi!

ISS didn't "switch" from SSTV to packet. While SSTV was being transmitted from the Russian segment most of the weekend on 145.800 MHz into Monday (29th), packet remained active from the Columbus lab on 145.825 MHz. Most were listening to the SSTV on 145.800 MHz, but some worked the 145.825 MHz digipeater during those passes over the weekend.

73!

Was the school contact with Osterholz-Scharmbeck successful?

I heard the tail end of this contact myself. I see another pass coming in just over an hour.

Looks like the last digit of my call didn't make it through. It is KF6FES. 73's KK6OTJ

Hi!

The 145.800 MHz frequency is not used often - scheduled voice contacts, and the occasional SSTV activity. Otherwise, it is silent. The 145.825 MHz frequency is probably more active, but it is for packet and not voice communications. The ariss.org web site has news on upcoming events, which would use the 145.800 MHz frequency.

Good luck!
