Will they be using the standard ISS transmitting on 145.800 and receiving on 144.490 with ground stations transmitting on 144.490 and receiving on 145.800?
I was able to monitor the ISS from 16:45-16:50 while they talked to the school. Since I am in New York I was unable to hear the school using a secondary receiver, but I did get to hear him answer alot of questions by the students. Worth the time and effort just to tune it in.
Sorry to hear that in FM19, I started hearing them call when they were just over Michigan, and heard them just after they got off the coast. As Minnesota said, he made many attempts before he made contact. Is there a site that shows when they are going to make contacts? I track them all time and try to call when they are over NY, but that is just a dream that they will ever answer, but if there is a site that tells when they will make the next contact with a school or such would be nice.
> Is there a site that shows when they are going to make contacts? ARISS posts their schedule of planned school contacts via the amsat-bb e-mail list. The page at http://www.amsat.org/mailman/listinfo has a link to sign up for the list. ARISS also posts their contact plans on their facebook group. -- 73 de JoAnne K9JKM
