Bouncing Packets off the ISS

December 11, 2007 | Amateur Radio | By: Mark VandeWettering

Using information from the post I mentioned earlier about operating via packet on the ISS, I decided to give it a try. It was a nominal success, although the pass was short and I was operating with just 5w into the omni on the top of my car. Sorry KD7ZLF, I’ll be better prepared next time and we’ll have a real QSO.
