I'd like to wish everyone here a very good, and healthy new year.

Also my wish for everyone is as many opportunities to make QSOs via ISS/ARISS and other means of communication.

I have been monitoring the packet frequency 145.825 for a few close passes to home and I did not hear the digi-repeater. Does anyone know if it is turned on?

I have been working on a uhf eggbeater antenna for about a week and cannot get the thing to tune worth squat. As a matter of fact it won't tune at all. I used the plans posted by k50e and am at a loss as to what is causing it. I used 3' of shedule 40 pvc pipe as a platform, made the loops the right size, used rg/62 (93ohm) for the phasing line at 5.08"" and fed it with good rg8 coax. It will do nothing. Any hints or clear plans would be a help. Thanks

I was on reddit.com a few days ago and there was a cool submission of this website that let you go around in a sort of 3D virtual tour. Sort of like how Google Street View works only it was the inside of the ISS.

Anyone have any idea what I'm talking about or what that URL is? I have been looking for it for 3 days and I can't find it!

Hello to everyone
I need to know if the QSL had the same cover photo for all the radio links. (voice, SSTV and packet).
Thanks and 73s Enzo IW0fko

I realize it's not ham specific, but if you want to hear the archived ISS / Mission Control audio, it's being archived at http://issaudio.project10.net

Files are recorded using VOX, and are timestamped in Eastern Time (ET).

Never look at the newest file, that's just a placeholder for the current hour. Live audio is still available at NASA, but if you miss something or want to go back and look for specific events, use the NASA timelines and convert to ET (-5 right now) and you can pull it up!
