Hello All,

Today I received photo's and an audio file
from Kim HL2JFM (tnx).
First Korean astronaut Yi So Yeon Lee answered -
questions (in the Korean language!) via the ISS ham
radio equipment when she was aboard ISS.

Can we expect spaceflight participant So-yeon Yi to be on the radio during her time on ISS?

Thanks for any information.

Hello everyone,
I'm a recent ham (VA3JUV) and my goal was one day to contact the ISS.
After some extensive research I came up with system:
Antenna - OSCAR Hy-gain VB216-SAT
Rotator - YAESU G-5500
Controller - ARS universal antenna controller
Tx/rx - no decision yet.

Can anyone confirm that this is a good setup for ISS contact b4 I go out and invest money on it?
Thank you

Goodmorning everybody

i have a Question about the iss whats the most recent Frequencies that they are yousing the most
for listing to i have a yupiteru mvt 7100 pocket scanner

Greets Erik from the netherlands

Heard several successful contacts via crossband repeater on ISS with several stations. 1815 local time Houston.

2 iss school contacts 6th 10th october 2007
On Saturday, 6 October 2007, starting at approximately 19:12 UTC, there
will be an ARISS contact between the ISS and the Prairielands Council, Boy
Scouts of America, Space Jamboree Camp Robert Drake in Champaign Illinois
USA via the telebridge amateur radio ground station VK4KHZ in
Australia. Please join us in listening to this event.

On Wednesday, 10 October 2007, starting at approximately 18:31 UTC, there
will be an ARISS contact between the ISS and the Isummasaqvik School in
Quaqtag, QC Canada, via the telebridge amateur radio ground station ON4ISS

What happened with the school contact?

I heard N0EFT on the "downlink" frequency 145.800 calling for NA1SS. The question is how was I able to hear them in Manitoba when my antennas were pointed to the ISS. Was the radio on the ISS in repeater mode?

Will be interesting to hear what happened.

Hope the kids are not too disappointed, they might try again.

I'm trying to get all set up for an ISS contact on my own (random contact).
I have the freq's and need to get them programmed right. I have a Yaesu VX-170 and was told that there may or may not be a negative offset of 300Khz.

I also need help getting the radio programmed correctly with the up and down links. The person I talked to said it may take a few memory channels, but that it would work out.

Thanks for anyone's help here!
