Nice catch, I've recorded a few videos of ISS comms but the QSO's are hardly this long. I've used the UV5R with both the rubber duck antenna and a small yagi. I hear ISS mostly on 437.800.
Quite clear and nice catch. What antenna did you use? I got them several times with a Nagoya NA771, but never that clear yet. 437.800 MHz is the most used freq. right now. The 145.800 is currently not in use. I nearly catch them every time they pass, but for a very short moment and never that clearly.
Haha, mine Uv-5r is like. 50%battery- 3 lines on the battery icon. 20%- 3 lines,and then 5%- 2 lines 1%- 1 line and dead. Idk why its like that, btw you can listen to noa satelites and thet decode image from the satelite wich is just satelite view to earth. It is cool but its hard to get good quality with such a cheap radio but its not imposible. You just need to have good conditions
Btw i Heard same astronaut few days ago. Cant wait to hear 2 Polish men on the iss soon, bc im from Poland and that will be the first time polish people will be on iss. And Like third time polish people will be in space
yeah basically just hams using the radio on the space station as a repeater, sometimes a astronaut will hop on and make some voice contacts, sometimes (often the russian one) will transmit slow scan TV images, pretty neat stuff
@@flightstatic4662 Yep really cool. I started studying for my technician license today. All this is a lot to take in for me. I was just looking for an easy way to communicate when my brother and I are out riding enduro motorcycles and we get separated. I probably should have just got a frs radio or a gmrs radio. Oh well, I got myself a UV-5R radio not knowing any better. I may or may not use it for that but it will be fun to tinker. I thought I could use it as a scanner for my local police since we've seen a major uptick in crime where the city criminals are coming out to the country to rob peoples stuff in their barns but it seems all the police in my area are using something called Project 25 Phase II. So it's not looking like it will work for that either. Thanks, it will take me a while to wrap my brain around this.

I just bought that antenna for my radio. Great reception. Kind of cool getting space station but all in code

Let's go!!
Thanks!

Yes I have listened and decoded some of the noaa satellites I plan on making a video on that soon
@@Umar_Naraka_ wow that's awesome I'm sure I'll hear them too at some point I'm excited
@@irontoe9001 good to have people into this hobby :)
What exactly are they doing? Is it just a bunch of ham operators saying hi to the space station?
yeah basically
