i heard all diferent passed. my vhf equipament don´t heard 3 or 2 steps. when iss passed over brazil south america the sigina´s not down to 4 or 5. bad passes got a 7 and 9 signal received.

I have today sent my contribution to the K6DUE commemoration event and I hope to receive my certificate when it is ready.

My qsl´d/recorded contribution was an APRS digi contact via ISS with DO4OSS.

It is superb/superbe/grossartig, to digi through the ISS!!!

thanks, K6DUE!

Hmmm,

I worked ISS with a Kenwood TH-D7 and standard rubber-antenna.

So don´t have such problems, except during bad weather the signals are weak.

Hello Eloy,

It´s now 05-02-2004 and the pass at 01:02UTC was verry strong 5/9 signal, iss
was a few minutes in range with low elevation!
I do not know what the position of the ISS antenne´s are, is the space station thumbling?
ISS antenna´s are little.
look at: http://www.qsl.net/pd0rkc/iss.html

I put the same question to F1MOJ, on behalf of ARISS EU, who confirms that the ARISS diploma is available for APRS contacts, as well as phone or packet contacts, on receipt of a written account of the contact, the QSL card of the person seeking the award and 4 IRCs. ARISS also needs a large envelope for the return posting.

A great commemoration of K6DUE!

Andy,

This is copied off of the ARISS site:

K6DUE ISS Commemorative Event Certificates

Astronaut Mike Foale was active during a North America and Europe pass on Saturday December 6. Numerous ham radio operators in these parts of the world made contact with Mike Foale or heard the ISS downlink. Those who heard or worked the ISS qualify for a special ISS Commemorative Certificate.

Instructions on receiving an ISS special event certificate follows:

1) Please send an 9 inch by 12 inch (minimum) envelope for your certificate with adequate postage or IRCs included. Smaller envelopes will result in your certificate getting folded (not a pretty sight).

2) Include your name, callsign and whether you worked ISS or heard ISS.

3) Send your QSL/SWL information with the envelope to your ARISS QSL distributor in your area (Americas, Europe, Japan, or Russia). See the ARISS Web Page for more details: www.rac.ca/ariss

Please note that this process will take several weeks. The plan is to get a bulk listing of QSLs/SWLs so that the calls can be added to the certificate prior to printing. We will then bulk mail these certificates to the QSL distributors. The distributors will then mail the certificates to you.

It is not clear whether we will have another voice opportunity with Mike Foale next weekend. We will keep you informed as we get more details.

73, Frank Bauer, KA3HDO

Hope this answers your question.

And legio examples for themselves build antennae of this type of eggbeater and the Turnstile.

Hello to all,
Thank you for the information on the antenna, the one that I have has 6 Db in VHF, but the problem should be like they say the dead points of the antenna.

And listened of the antenna crossed dupolos for the reception of polar satellites, this it will be good for the ISS?. As for the eggbeater and the Turnstile, where they can be the planes to build one?

Thank you for the answer and happy new year
