Ham Radio contact with International Space Station (ISS) N0KGM

[Thunderchicken1997]

I've had 2 contacts with the ISS. One was from m ycar on a Yaesu 1500 and 1 from my home on a Yaesu 8900 on a dual band Cushcraft. It's really fun!

thats so cool that you can talk to someone in outer space!!! somone literally not on this planet, and not even be part of NASA the idea just blows my mind

@scotfreak

You should try to get your license. Go to ARRL.org and check it out. If you have just a hint of experience of radio experience, this site will guide you to the proper study guides to pass your test. It's a FUN hobby!

@Thunderchicken1997 i would, but i dont undertand radios whatsoever, i really want to, but even tutorials make my head spin. i just got a police scanner, and even that thing confuses the hell out of me. im 17 so ive got some time to learn tho.

Wow! This is fantastic! How great that the contact was so good and that was very kind of him to respond and answer what amounts to an impromptu interview :) I love this!

Excellent contact! I have worked the ISS Digi on APRS, but not the actual crew! Fine business
