For some reason, this moved something so deep inside me. A man speaking to astronauts 254 miles above him with what most would consider obsolete technology, and them responding so casually; it truly is a microcosm of something really beautiful.

If you were to tell someone from 100 years ago that a random guy sitting in his living room in Minnesota could make radio contact with people floating hundreds of miles above him, they would call you insane

That's absolutely fascinating! I had no idea you could speak directly with the ISS astronauts using a ham radio. (Props to the Daily Dose of Internet for sharing your video. I learned something new today.)

There’s something so heart warming and beautiful about an astronaut-who has far more important work to do-taking the time to make a person’s day down on Earth by exchanging pleasantries over amateur radio ❤️

Congrats on the contact. I had the same experience about 5 years ago

What an incredible example of what technology can do. Must have been wonderful doing this, keep up the great work!

Congrats Larry, very nice contact. In my career I've made contact with NA1SS twice, both times land mobile to space mobile.

Very cool contact, looks like your geared up very well to track the ISS, I bet when other hams are listening and hear a solid transmission, they all flock. Thanks for sharing your experience, very interesting. Kind regards, Eric Dee.

You’re my hero! I wanted a HAM radio as a kid. Now I’m a grown up but still this is so amazing. Well done sir!

What an awesome experience!! Definitely something to be proud of and a moment to always remember!! Thank you for sharing!! Stay safe and much respect from Rockwall, Texas!

Omg, how frickin cool is this. I never would have thought in my wildest dreams, that anyone with a decent HAM setup would be able to have a chat in real time with an astronaut on the ISS. I'm in awe 😍

I've always wanted to get into ham radio and this just pushed me over the edge. I have to get licensed now. I never knew this was possible! What a cool thing to do. Thanks for the video.

That is great to hear! There are so many different things you can do within the hobby, I am sure you will find some things you would enjoy doing as I have since I started way back in 1977. If you need any further advice be sure to let me know, for now I am sure you have been looking into it on KZread here and with google. A good place to start might be going to the American Radio Relay League homepage, arrl.org and looking on how to get into ham radio for suggestions. There is probably many close to where you live that can also be of help in person. Good luck and let me know when you get your ticket!

Great video of a great contact! I appreciate that the astronauts are willing to take the time.

I'd like to add, the lesson learned is that for hams wishing to make contact with the ISS, go ahead and program in the ISS uplink (144.490 MHz) and downlink (145.800 MHz) frequency on your rig and store it to memory as a split memory. Do this for your base station and mobile rig. I happened to have my base rig on scan and just happened to pick the ISS up as they flew over and were making contacts.. Like you, I worked them with a vertical antenna and 50w of power.

Very nice contact Larry! I had my first crack at satellite operation tonight and got a nice long pass from AO-91. It was a beautiful signal, unfortunately at 3am there's no one around to hear it :( Looking forward to talking with the ISS. What is the tracking software you use?

Wow, to an uninitiated person like me that just happened to run to this video, that is totally awesome!
