¿WHAT ANTENNA I CAN MAKE ME TO SPEAK WITH The ISS And WHAT DOES NOT HAVE PROBLEMS WITH The POLARITY, SINCE WITH The ARROW AFFLUENT WORK The OSCAR, BUT WITH The ISS With Himself NOT TO ENTER The TRASPONDER?
Hi, Would I be able to get the ISS or shuttle with a Comet GP-15 mounted on my 2nd story roof???
Anyone have a similar setup?? Thanks, Mike KC9NLS
Mike, I'm using the Comet GP-3 mounted on my deck on top of about 10' of conduit and seems to work fine for most ISS passes.

I use a Diamond X-50 vertical with good results but some null effects on very high passes. The ISS is easy copy on 145.825 for packet and 145.800 for voice when active. I can easily copy it on my HT using the stock antenna.

Hello EA3AGH,
Currently the ISS voice x transponder is not active. Probably it will be active later this year when astronaut Mike Fincke goes to ISS. An ARROW antenna should be good enough if you point it exactly to ISS (with hand or AZ/EL rotator). Normaly there is much QRM (on the ISS x repeater) on europe 10 watts is recommed (or more is better).

It would seem, that the transponder of ISS is not active a this time , if you read Status system you will have more information ! 73's of course , and a hope to heard you with iss in the future ! F4FPR
Ps : For antenna : You need to use some directive [as one : Yagi , Quagi] , for the transponder , but only for APRS you can Use an vertical antenna [I use one personally of them and it's good for a lot of ISS-pass] !
I do not understand because enter in transponder, was not dull, habia Swiss hb9 very active and calling ISS to trasponder and people Oscar answered to him... the satellites I enter either iss very received very or but he did not enter r trasponder is that they arrived hard but that I?
it was in this frequency
Mode U/V (b) FM Voice Repeater (Worldwide): Semi-Operational Uplink: 437,8000 MHz FM Downlink 145,8000 MHz FM
Last day that ISS voice transponder was active was 6-Feb-2008. Now the voice repeater is off (ISS voice repeater is QRT!). Comprendo?
i use a simple dipole for vhf to work iss and 50 watts output. this working good and received S9 signal´s. MAURICIO BERALDO PY4MAB BRAZIL
