RE: [sarex] ISS Downlink

["Andre PE1OIG" <pe1oig@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Bob (and all),

I'm listening to ISS with a discone antenna. The signals from ISS are
very good. Compared to UO-14 there is almost no fading. I have *a lot*
of (deep) fading on UO-14 reception with the discone antenna.
At my QTH there is a german FM repeater on 145.7825 MHz nearby which 
causes some interference now and then but when ISS is at higher elevations 
this poses no problem.
I had great copy of the last ISS school contact with Harrogate College, UK
using the discone antenna!

Now that ISS downlink on 145.800 has been in place for several weeks, I
wonder how it is working out in Europe for people with omni antennas?
The basis of this question is whether the noise level on 2 meters is
causing any significant interference.  As a comparison, how does it
compare to the downlink from UO-14 on 435 MHz with an omni?
