My first ISS observation over Madrid (Spain) today.

Madrid – September 20, 2005 – 19:32

Hello. Today I saw the ISS by naked eye during the passing over Madrid (Spain) from 18:47 to 18:55 UTC

I was amazed enjoing a little white dot from northwest to southeast slowly over the sky and at the same time with the radio scanner trying to receive any signal in 145.800 Mhz. Not signal received but I won´t forget this night.

From now on I will be waiting the next passes over Madrid.

Hello Cristian,

1 week agoo I also saw the ISS in the sky.
I saw it many times in this year but it's
always nice to see it traveling with a
heigh speed (7km per second!), while I was
sending my aprs beacons to the ISS.
Strange you did not hear APRS signals.
Somethimes the ISS pcaket has some delays,
trie next passes!

After 1 or 2 hours sunset when the ISS
comes in your range.
