I talked to space!

I talked to space today! Astronaut Serena Auñón-Chancellor has made random unscheduled contacts on some of the Saturdays recently and she was doing it again today!

The radios on the ISS need to be replaced. Please donate to ARISS to fund the next generation hardware upgrade to replace them: https://fundrazr.com/arissnextgen…

ISS Frequencies (all FM):

Voice and SSTV Downlink: 145.80 (Worldwide)
Voice Uplink: 144.49 for ITU Regions 2 and 3 (The Americas, and the Pacific and Southern
Voice Uplink: 145.20 for ITU Region 1 (Europe, Russia and Africa)

My setup: Arrow II satellite antenna, Kenwood TM-V71A mobile radio powered by a Bioenno 12V 9AH LiFePO4 battery. Close up pics of body support system I built:

This was recorded in Cary, North Carolina on the 2018-11-03 - 1536 UTC ISS pass.

Thanks to Patrick, WD9EWK for providing his audio recording as I forgot to hit record on my audio recorder!
