ISS Crossband repeater pass doppler information for Dec 7
December 7, 2008

The ISS passtimes for tonight, December 7 are calculated and in the 
following file. See this text file with doppler information for details 
on the pass. See the next posting for additional details on how to work 
the ISS. Tonight may be your last chance for quite a while to access the 
crossband repeater. Check www.issfanclub.com for the latest status.

Honolulu stations, for those of you who've been trying, you're starting 
to get the proficiency of making a crossband contact. Remember to keep 
your exchanges very short, as the usable time is probably about a minute 
or so. These are lower passes at far greater distances than last night, 
so you'll need more power on the uplink, and a better antenna or 
receiver on the downlink.

Please listen and allow contacts with Norm, NH7UA who will be trying 
from Kailua-Kona on the Big Island. His usable passtimes for these 
passes are about 30-45 seconds later than Honolulu.

The uplink is 437.80 MHz, plus/minus 10 kHz doppler. The downlink is 
145.80 MHz, plus/minus 3.3 kHz doppler.

For Norm, NH7UA, doppler pass time for Kona has been included in the 
second half of the file.
