Predict passes/freq
Hello guys,
I'm new to ham radio and wanted to make my 1st contact with ISS.
I wanted to know if that times give when I punch in my zip code are for my time zone or are they in UTC/GMT? It does correct for time zone by location give how about daylight savings because Phx doesnt use daylight savings.
Also with the comunication freq do I need to tx on 144.49 and rx on 145.8? Or can I Tx/Rx on 145.8? I set a memory slot to tx on 144.49 and rx at 145.8 if that is the case.
Thanks everyone,
Christopher

Predict
The times on the pass predictions are UTC.
For voice communication: Downlink Freq. (Recieve) 145.800 and Uplink Freq. (Transmit) 144.490.
If you run Packet it's 145.825 both ways.
