Hello Ben, I have been attempting to make contact with the ISS for a few months now off and on.I have been utilizing the 2 m frequencies Uplink (Tx) : 144.490 MHz Downlink (Receive): 145.800 MHz How did you account for the Doppler effect for changing frequencies for the orbit pass? I have been attempting to contact with 25 watts on a J-pole antenna, and I monitor the orbits on ISSfanclub.com Please let me know what frequencies you guys have been utilizing, radio equipment, and orbit websites so that I may have the same great results with contact that you guys did. Thx for your assistance. 73's Mike WoodsKF5PPGSugar Land, Tx

Just had to share this with you guys! Still bouncing around the house like a kid on Christmas eve! My son Kyle, KG5YPD and I were both able to make contact with the crew of the ISS yesterday afternoon with astronaut Dr. Lindgren, KO5MOS operating as NA1SS. My buddy Stephen, N8URE got a good recording from his place in MD. I'm at about the 3:45 mark and my son is about a minute later at the 4:45 mark. SOOOO FREAKING AWESOME! Contact was 2022-06-17 at 18:29Z @Henry and @Char if you're able to try and follow the next few passes, you might get lucky too! This is a first for me in 27 years as a ham, for some of the other guys, much longer!
