[GCARC] ISS QSO from our SatNOGS station

[Jon Pearce]

The SatNOGS station at the Clubhouse generally records satellite telemetry that’s used by the managers of satellites but it can record any type of transmission from any orbiting object. Tonight I was checking some of the observations and noted an unusual pattern in the waterfall of one of the ISS broadcasts, which was on 145.800, the freq that’s used for voice and SSTV. So I clicked on the Audio tab, waited for the audio to download and immediately heard part of a QSO between an ISS astronaut and someone on the ground. I don’t know who the QSO was with but it’s pretty cool that it was received and recorded by our station. If you’re interested go to this site and click the Audio tab and then the Play symbol. The QSO is in the first 2 minutes of the pass.  https://network.satnogs.org/observations/3615057/
