Looking for DE, RI, WY and VE4-VE6 stations
Just an update. I just worked Dave - W2DAN in Rhode Island after several just missed fringe attempts.
Only need WY and DE to complete the 48 states now.
Thanks again Dave for the extra effort.

ISS QSL?
I beleive you have to connect to the PMS and send in the connect time to claim a conctact with the ISS over packet. Better still would be to copy a bulletin from the PMS as proof.
I was fortunate enough to get a reply from Valery on packet so I sent that one in for my packet QSL with the ISS.
Contacts made through the digi are with the stations replying.
You can also request a SWL (same card, different check box) by sending in a copy of any pass.
If you can, try after Midnight local time. Usually a lot less activity so less interference.
Good Luck,

video feed?
Steffen,
Well unfortantly you are about 18 degrees too far east. The "Trick" is based on elevation and celestial bounce. It doesn´t always work but occasionally it does. Sorry.

The PMS is open, I just send my first message to RS0ISS.
50 W into a J-pole antenna, 3 meters above ground!
Thanks to the makers of and the contributors to this site for all the very good information.

Only see digipeater traffic and several stations trying to connect.
More and more DM frames coming from ISS.73 Claudio IK1SLD

Another unsucessful pass here (22:55 utc). I counted 3 stations attempting to connect to the pms, CM8RKW, NJ2C and WF1F. All rejected.
I agree with your summation though I guess the PMS could "think" the laptop is connected when it really isn´t . Then it´s time to reboot.

Hello Jan and Kenneth,
I think Valery or anyone forgot to disconnect from PMS after to have read messages. PMS is a single user connect.
I think an USER value=2 or 3,4 will be affecting the RS0ISS callsign. But RS0ISS-1 will permit 1 connect only in any case.
I will try at 23:10 UTC when ISS will pass over Europe.

I too have seen several disconnect packets (including my own) when attempting to connect to RS0ISS-1. If I were to GUESS, then I´d say the laptop on station was connected and logged in to the PMS. Since the PMS only allows 1 user in at a time, the rest of us are out of luck.
Any chance MaxUsers or Users could be set to 2 so the laptop could be constantly connected and we would still have 1 connection?
Waiting for the 22:48 pass for Nov 28.

rs0iss-1 passing 25-11-2002 00:45 utc only b.
Same here (Houston, TX) on the 01:08 UTC pass. Beacon good and strong but unable to get packet through. ARISS page heard a couple of stations in the NE USA a few minutes later. Maybe they flipped the switch back to packet now.

Steffan,
I will see what I can find out. BTW, do you have C-Band capability? There might be a trick that I know of for you to get the W2 bird. I need your coordinates to work the problem.
Good luck.

HI!

video feed?
Thanks a lot!
I know NASA TV, but your satellite is faaaaar away from Europe and there is no way to get a signal - but broadband internet helps a lot
But I was thinking about amateur radio things. Like ATV or SSTV.
Regards,
Steffen -
video feed?
Steffen,
I am unsure of what you are looking for exactly, however there is lots of video, both inside and outside as well as views of earth on NASA TELEVISION.
You can either access this with a C-Band Dish or live download off of Nasa´s Site.
C-BAND
NTV is broadcast on GE-2, transponder 9C, C-Band, located at 85 degrees West longitude. The frequency is 3880.0 MHz. Polarization is vertical and audio is monaural at 6.8 MHz.NASA SITE
http://www.nasa.gov/ntv/Good luck.

Mark,
What is the Brand, Model, and Type of your laptop. I can´t promise anything but I am into laptops pretty heavy (11 online at this time). I will try to help if I can.

How would you rate Valeri's ham radio performance onboard ISS?
Before Valery arrived, the packet station seemed to be operational 50% of the time. Since Valery's arrival, the digi has been working 90%+ of the time and he has made a lot of hams happy with voice contacts. I personally talked with him 3 times. I also have 47 of the 60 contacts I need for my next AMSAT award.
Thanks Valery! See you at Ellington.

Connect whit rs0iss-1
Hi Mark,
on the site there is the ISS Packet Manual by Miles Mann with all info about packet system connection, commands list and much more.
I have translated these manuals in italian and spanish (my wife) version and in PDF format too.
You can find it on the INFO POINT section.
