Looks like a fully automatic with more that 30 rounds.

In 1997, I had the pleasure of a contact with Jerry Linenger (KC5HBR) aboard the Russian MIR. They were using R0MIR as event call back then. Also said hello to one of the cosmonauts before they cleared the horizon. I used my HTX-202 5 watt HT and a simple homemade Copper ground plane.

Amazing contact! Glad you was able to capture and post . I was lucky enough to just hear the iss having a qso with a school on a pass. 73

THE HOLY FREAKIN GRAIL!!!! THAT IS AWESOME BUDDY! I can't wait to see the the QSL Card

My Dad did the same thing early 80's with the space shuttle & still have the QSL Card they sent

Wow amazing Fred excellent work 👍👍! That's been one of my dreams from my start in Ham Radio to contact an Astronaut on the ISS! Be sure to post a picture of the QSL card on 2MC.

This video boosts my motivation up to listen (attempt anyway) to listen to the ISS

This is straight out of movie. But then again I didn't see this in any movie. Fact is far more strangers and cooler then fiction. Cool so cool. Bravo. Hats Off to you.

Sounded like Astronaught Woody Hoburg...when the Astronauts (NA1SS) are on the air after they answer your call you just listen to others that are trying to contact them. It's a rare occasion when NA1SS actually jumps on the FM Repeater...Congrats! I ended up making 4 QSOs with Woody Hoberg too last year!

Interesting! My QSL card has written in pen “Crew-Lindgren-K05MOS”. Contact was August 19, 2022.

Fantastic job! Just recently discovered SSTV on 437.800 MHz. Not yet any two way contact, since I have no rig for that. Good to see and hear what it sounds like. Thanks.

Brill! Congratulations!

Call sign and grid square is the exchange on satellite communications. When talking with the astronaut, they say “Welcome aboard the International Space Station. The other station works at the Arizona Science Center.

Hello friend, I am in Latin America I have yagi but what radio do you use? at what frequency?

@w1frdradio

4 ай бұрын

Yaesu FT-3D for transmitting 145.990 MHz with 67 Hrz PL tone, Icom T8A for receiving starting at 437.810 MHz dropping 5 KHz through the pass. 437.805, 437.800, 437.795, and 437.790 at end of pass. You can use any dual band radio and antenna with some success. But the Arrow 2 yagi and 2 radios is the easiest way to do it.

I know I'm late to your video but I have a couple of questions. First off that's an awesome antenna. How many watts were you using? Second, where did you video this? How far is the Arizona Science Center from you?

@LagiacrusHunter

Bravo and Whiskey are part of the NATO Phonetic Alphabet (letters B and W). Sometimes when you try to spell a word, the letters sound the same over radio. If you had callsign N0BDP, it could be very hard to understand. Instead you say November Zero Bravo Delta Papa to make sure the other person understands the spelling clearly.

I am tired of flat eathers and ppl those believe space travel isn't possible, I am going to use this video to prove them that ISS is in the orbit and one can see live streaming and track it and even talk to them on ham radio on FM cross bands ,once in direct line of sight .
