[Mldxcc] FYI: International Space Station Viewing

[Dave Sanders]

Thanks Rick. 
I’ll watch (and listen). I added a link to ISS pass predictions by K2YO. A 
radio with 440 FM can hear the APRS packet transmissions on 437.550 MHz.  A 
radio with APRS function can receive the ISS UHF packet (RS0ISS ARISS). I have 
done this several times but haven’t done a 2-way exchange using the ISS 
repeater.

A bit off the topic of HAM Radio, but I know many of you are interested in 
astronomy............Rick, W6SR

















 
All,
 
This Saturday at 8:43 PM there will be an exceptionally good sighting of the 
space station. The pass over will last 6 minutes and will be very bright. The 
station will appear from the northwest and travel to the east. 
 
You can track the space station viewing dates at:

121.49439960000001&lat=38.5815719&name=Sacramento
 
If you have never seen the space station before, this will be a good one to 
see. There are numerous web sites with Space Station facts, if you are 
interested.
