Well, I remember seeing it as an ABC Movie of the Week or something, so you can't be that much older than me. The cool stuff I remember is that I believe audio was caught from the Plantronics headsets in the spacecraft. Also, if I remember correctly, I think there were quindars in comms from

This is exactly the kind of low tech solution that we need to use in amateur sats to have orientation and orbital control. But, I worry that if we did demonstrate control, would we be allowed to be in control since the craft could then become a weapon in the hands of the wrong person. Gregg

Over the next few days ('til around Tuesday 8/30) I will be near the EL18/19 border and will try to work the FM sats (SO-50, AO-27, AO-51) from there. I cannot guarantee any specific times or passes due to my unpredictable work schedule (which includes the weekend), so stations needing these

Hello all again. Can some good person help me try packet on the Iss 145.825. I have Multipsk and also Mixw on my pc so hopefully one of these will allow me to send packet via soundcard to my Ic-910. Have a Cat cable and audio in and out from the din connection on back of radio so what next?.

I was having a really good pass gpong from my NW-SE and I had copied 6 frames of Telemetry and 5 frames of KURSK data when the bird just went silent. It never came back during this pass. It was the 08-27-2011 0241 UTC pass over Lake Erie. I am curious if anyone has heard it since than.
