Another excellent site for tracking ISS, Iridium flares , artificial satellites, and Ham Radio satellites is:

By registering and then entering you location, all the information is compiled for your location.  The amateur radio list gives the downlink frequencies.

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: http://iss.astroviewer.net/observation.php?lon=-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.
