Satellites on (near) 145.825
Seems some folks are hearing signals on 145.825 that are not from the ISS. This is possible since NO-44 (PCSAT) and UO-11 also transmit near the 145.825 frequency. If you hear something on 145.825, you might check a tracking program to see which satellite is (or is not) in range.

Recorded Contact Query
I registered on Wednesday evening (Eastern U.S. time), and uploaded a number of Recorded Contacts including Girl Guides of Canada, K2BSA/4 and a number of ordinary ISS QSOs. The site went down and was displaying a database error after I had uploaded four or five recordings, but eventually came back up, and I finished uploading the remaining recordings.
Website update
Hello ISS Fans,
the engine that runs the website has been updated to a newer version and as you might have noticed some of the content has also been re-organized.
Please let me know if you see something wrong.
Thanks

What's the process and how long does it usually take to receive a QSL card for a voice contact with the ISS?

ISS Communication - delay?
Hello everyone,
I've been interested in space exploration and astronomy for some years now. Recently while I was in a discussion with someone on the subject of the International Space Station, he brought up the idea that there is a 7 to 10 second delay in the live transmission. Now he couldn't remember the source of this number himself either, and I don't know what to make of this. But it did get me thinking about what kind of delays a listener would encounter tuning into the ISS audio transmission.
This apparently being a forum where amateur radio listeners come together to converse about the ISS, I thought this would be a good place to ask some questions about the subject.
How to set up MMSSTV
I would like to set up MMSSTV for reciveing ISS pictures for the next time they do it.
What setting do I use in MMSSTV? I hear RX Mode should be Robot 36 but what else?
I have a IC 746 Pro and a SignaLink USB Sound Card that I use for PSK and RTTY. Will that work?
Thanks
