11-1-11 16:45 - ISS Pass
Categories:
Another busy pass, this time with 12 stations heard and placed on the map!
So, we heard and placed Scotland (MM0XXP), England (G4ILO 2E0JXE G6HMS), Ireland (EI2GNB), The Netherlands (PD2RLD), Germany (DB3LA), France (G6EZP), Italy (IK1COA), Spain (EA1JM), Hungary (HA3HT) and Yugoslavia (YU7RD).
Yugoslavia’s a new one - pretty far away as it goes (2011.06KM to be exact)… The ISS definately does it’s job for long distance communication on low power!
Just in case you weren’t sure where the countries were!
Messages were sent to/from G6HMS, Ted in Doncaster.
System’s working nicely, and now that 70cm has been properly activated, we can do full duplex communications over satellites such as AO-51!
Enough play, back to the studies!
