  • On this ISS pass, I manage to make 2-way contact with John K8YSE from Ohio, as well as WB1FJ in New Hampshire!

    Sorry about the close-up focus fail, folks. My wee camera display didn't look blurry when I was filming.

    Nice contact. I remember spending time on the radio in high school, I don't remember the dude who ran it tho'. I thought the callsign was VY2CRS but that doesn't appear to be the school anymore

    That's the first time I've witnessed this. Very interesting and well done!
    How does NASA stay in constant contact with the ISS?

      They have a very sophisticated and redundant system using Tracking and Data Relay Satellites (TDRS) at higher altitudes - as well as ground stations all over the world if necessary.

    Hi, there was a lot of you saying the phonic alphabet. I get when you were saying your chanel code, but I didn't understand the rest. Were you having a conversation, or just quoting chanel names at each other to verify who was connected?

    • @BrentTaylor

      Yes we use lots of phonetic alphabet both ways to make sure we have each other's identifier callsigns correct.

      Hello Kailash. There are several requirements for making that kind of contact. First, I would check with the Amateur Radio Society of India, at arsi.info/. They would have information on licensing and operating procedures that would apply in your area. Good luck!
