Hola Gustabo, Marcelo desde Chile, yo tambien espero poder escuchar la ISS, hojala algun dia se acuerden que existimos.

Cordiales 73´s y DX´s

Nasa has been noticed more than once about this problem but I guess sending a TNC up there is no easy job.
Plus, before sending a new one someone should be able to understand why two TNC´s failed in such a short time.

Thanks Alain.

Too bad the "all ham" crew doesn´t seem to be able to fix their ham radio equipment problems.

If it´s still under warranty they should stop by the dealer, I know they can get there fast

Yes, I agree with you. Heavens-Above is a great web site. I use it almost everyday for ISS sightings and radio amateur satellite passes.

Hola Marcelo ! Desafortunadamente la
actividad en la ISS a veces no es la que uno
qisiera; y la tripulacion 7 no ha estado ac-
tiva; de hecho a excepcion de la tripulacion
5 en donde Valery korzun salia a cada rato
y por todos lados, ahora hay que tener mu-
cha paciencia... Saludos de xe2arf Fernando

Hello Claudio,

I am Marcelo CE4LNM from Chile, I understand that there is not activity at this time from the ISS, hopefully with the arrival of the new crew the trasmisiones in voice increases especially on south america, since they have us a little thrown away, anyway we will continue attentive to the passings during the hour of I relax of the astronauts (15:00 to 22:00 UTC).

Thank you Claudio for the answer.

P.S.: one can write in Spanish that is but easy for my....

Marcelo 73´s and DX´s

To me ISS should be called space station Delta,or even better Korolov.So it`s maybe a bit strong,but i think it will go better!
Now it`s even more like MIR 2,and don`t we know who have the most experience,dare to fly while taking risk to learn,and use the
most tested k.i.s.s. tech.....
And there is only one cosmoham,RZ3FK,
also Russian.

ARISS SCHOOL CONTACT SCHEDULED WITH UK NATIONAL SPACE CENTRE

The Rushey Mead secondary school is located in Leicester, UK. It is a State
Secondary Comprehensive School for the 11-16 years old age range. It has a
large number of pupils from ethnic minorities.

The school has an excellent examination record and is particularly
successful in science. The amateur radio club has been established in the
Science Department for 20 years and has previously listened into the space
shuttle including the very first Amateur Radio operations and also listened
to the UK astronaut Helen Sharman when she was aboard MIR.

The ground station to be used is the amateur radio club located in the
nearby National Space Centre. This club was established in 2000 with the
express purpose of demonstrating the amateur radio aspects of Space
Communications to the many thousands of visitors to the Space Centre. By its
efforts it is hoped that many new recruits will be made to the ranks of
radio amateurs.

The station holds the special exhibition callsign GB2NSC as well as M1NSC.
It is active on VHF, UHF and Microwaves via the various amateur satellites.

An ARISS School Contact has been scheduled with the students of Rushey Mead
at the National Space Centre next Friday April 4, 2003 at 19:26 UTC, which
