I heard packets from Pittsburgh, PA; Smyrna, DE, and Atlanta, GA. I tried to ping out my location a couple times, but it looked unheard according to <a href="https://ariss.net/">https://ariss.net/</a>.</p> https://kd3ee.johnflinchbaugh.com/post/2024-12-09-iss-repeater/ Mon, 09 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000 https://kd3ee.johnflinchbaugh.com/post/2024-12-09-iss-repeater/ <p>I overheard some tips from Tom, KA3TKW, on the 21 repeater: Check out the AMSAT manuals for contacting satellite repeaters, and operate full duplex, so you can hear while transmitting.</p> https://kd3ee.johnflinchbaugh.com/post/2024-04-29-iss-repeater/ Mon, 29 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000 https://kd3ee.johnflinchbaugh.com/post/2024-04-29-iss-repeater/ <p>The ISS passed at 8:55am EDT at 49 degrees. My vertical 1/4-wave ground plane antenna in the tree picked it up really well. I copied a handful of callsigns pretty easily:</p> <ul> <li>KO4PDI - FL</li> <li>KC4Y - AL</li> <li>K4MMD - FL</li> <li>N5ACR - MD</li> <li>KC4YMT - GA</li> <li>KC3MM - SC</li> <li>K3DMM - PA, Harrisburg</li> </ul> <p>I confirmed hearing K3DMM on the Morning Grind round table (K3IR) a few minutes later that morning.</p> https://kd3ee.johnflinchbaugh.com/post/2023-09-07-iss-repeater/ Thu, 07 Sep 2023 00:00:00 +0000 https://kd3ee.johnflinchbaugh.com/post/2023-09-07-iss-repeater/ <p>I tuned to the ISS Repeater on 437.8Mhz as it went overhead (according to <code>gpredict</code>). I couldn&rsquo;t hear anything really, but I saw a signal sweeping in and out (doppler shift) as it would have been crossing over head.</p>
