That's so cool, and single-handedly just convinced me to take the plunge and buy a radio to learn more. I've been tempted for a while but had no idea you could do this. I liked the idea of talking to people from far away, but being able to receive stuff from ISS is just next-level awesome.
- themodelplumber 8y agoRight on! You picked a great time in history, with a ham operator (Astronaut Serena Auñón-Chancellor) currently on the ISS and making contacts. It's exciting stuff. :-) Here's one operator's contact from this last Saturday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwm-6tf7KCs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwm-6tf7KCs (That amazing feeling post-contact...funny that he left in those clips, but I definitely identify with the adrenaline rush. :-)) Be sure to check out #hamradio and #hamr on Twitter, and /r/amateurradio on Reddit. Edit: And your local club, too! And welcome!
