Interested in communicating through the International Space Station? Read on!
The world-wide frequencies are 437.80 MHz as your uplink
while you listen on 145.80 MHz as the downlink or output channel. Operation is
similar to working the Amsat Oscar 51 satellite or any ground-based cross-band
system.
The big difference is that in this case you literally talk through the repeater
on board the I-S-S to other hams within range of the I-S-S radio footprint on
the ground.
How long the cross-band repeater will remain in operation is not known. 145.8 MHz
is also used for normal QSO's and school contacts,
you can expect it to be off during those times.
Have a technical
question???
Send it to our all knowing technical director
(?3???)
(We're still in negotiations with him, C'mon ED, give in!)
