Wondering if anyone had chance to record Sept. 1 contacts made over the East coast? Wheelock made comment about Hurricane Earl. Please send recordings to ve1wrg@rac.ca Thanks - Derek (VE1WX)

Hi all,
I am not really a newbee, but have a burning question?

Its been a long time between drinks hearing the ISS over Australia, do they turn off the repeaters?
I have from time time left the APRS decoder going and sometimes get a packet on 145.825 FM.
Back about 3 years ago the UHF up link with VHF down was working fine lots of use it got, and for no reason gone,

Hello,

I was contacted by a friend who is a swl-operator and he was wondering if you could get an ariss QSL from hearing the ISS ? is that possible(i'm a ham and i worked 3 times the iss and on my QSL's there's always a square that says SWL)

Thanks for replying

After spending several weeks both monitoring and trying to work Col. Doug Wheelock, I have reached a conclusion that may be helpful to folks who are having trouble establishing contact with NA1SS. Namely, Col. Wheelock seems to latch on to calling stations more frequently when they include their location as opposed to simply giving their callsign only.

Hello all! Now that I have not only been able to copy their transmissions on decent passes overheard but also made a successful contact then can someone please advise how to receive the QSL card? I see the ARRL address. I will include my card with the standard QSL information for the contact. Is it just a standard SASE to be included? Sorry for the simple questions if this is posted elsewhere. I would just want to "do it right the first time".

It was an amazing experience that I will never forget. Thanks for all the advice here and thanks to to Col. Wheelock and the crew aboard the ISS for all that they do!

Hello fans,

here is your fellow webmaster coming for some piece of advice.

I live a very confined space in New York City (forget about the heavy beams I left back in Southern Europe) so I have to rely entirely on portable equipment. And for portable I mean bicycle, not even car.

Today at 1900 EST I was over the East River with all my gear when NA1SS popped up on voice. It has been a while since my first voice contact but you know... the excitement stays always the same so I gave it more than a good try. I could not make it and I know you can imagine the frustration.

Should I be transmitting on 145.200 or 145.800 in the UK to speak to the ISS please? They don't seem to hear me? I know it says it should be 145.200 but it's no unknown for information to be wrong :) 73's Dave G7THL
