During 1996, a group of amateur radio operators involved in the communications with the MIR Space Station, decided to join into the "Mir Fan Club". In a very short time over 1200 enthusiasts from all over the world asked to participate, including Cosmonaut Valery Korzun, while leading crew #22. Nowdays MIR is not flying anymore, but here we are again with the same spirit and the same enthusiasm for the ISS, the new International Space Station.

Miles, WF1F received a message from Valery

ISS Amateur Radio

The ISS pms was off line for 6 days due to a tnc lock up. Valery power cycled the pms and then on the next orbit he loaded the
current date and time. No messages were lost. It seems that only the clock takes a hit when you power cycle.
