[amsat-bb] Re: ISS satellite QSO?

[John Mock <kd6pag@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks, Bruce, for the info on the ISS responder.  And i muuch don't care
if i don't get satellite credit for talking to a astronaut/cosmonaut. That
would be so special i'll happily take that over making a hundred satellite
QSOs!

It's nice that we have some kind of space station transponder up again.
I worked KD6FYK via the MIR SAFEX repeater (uplink/downlink both on 70cm).
It was a bit of a challenge but lots of fun and didn't require a dual-
bander to work it.  Alas, it was only up on rare occasions, probaably
because the residents had too much else to do.  

I haven't heard the ISS FM transponder yet, and am looking forward to that.
73's and good luck!
