First signal from ISS!

[@fubarsnafu4994]

Just looked up your call and Wow you are definitely radioactive! Impressive beam you assembled looks like you have a half way decent apprentice working besides you. Always helpful to get the projects off the ground.. Well 73 and good luck with your channel and all your endeavors. Hope to hear you on the bands...✌

[@anthonymarino4260]

fine job. well done

[@jebbait1669]

If you put your mind to it and work hard, you may be able to go to the ISS and talk to your dad on Earth with this very device. That's if you decide that's what you want to do when you get older. I'd imagine that would be such a surreal moment.

It was nice getting you in the log book this last ISS pass. Keep up the good work!

[@joeyyoung1178]

Very fortuitous that the algorithm has shown me this. Keep up the great work. You have an exciting future ahead of you.

[@jannemaksa8226]

Awesome

Squelch off when working satellites and the iss

KJN 338 YOUR UTUBE VIDEOS ARE AWESOME

[@N3WERHamRadioElmer]

Nice work.... I was a young Ham as well. Hope to QSO you now that 10 Meters is getting better and always a good 20M opening N3WER 73's

Cool, nice try kid! 👍😉 Must be hard to keep up with the ISS, how much time do you actually have to contact the ISS when it flies over? And what kind of antenna were you using!? Also what was the black triangular PCB on the wall behind the radio!? 73 to you! 👍😉

[@KJ7NLL]

We have about 8-12 minutes for a good pass, and we are using a helical antenna. The black PCB is a triplexer to split the 2m and 70cm bands into the radio. I did a presentation with a lot more detail. If you are interested, here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHzIgIKXgqdnkLM 73, characteristic dipole impedance!

nice job.

73 de AA1SA ❤❤❤

[@philkennedy342]

I love to see kids involved in ham radio the thing with working iss especially trying to work astronauts is alot of time and patience and get your setup early ready for the pass you could also try the repeater on iss thats usually busy and very active good luck 73's m6dnu\26ct4494

[@KeithKenobi]

I just worked you via the ISS ! Were you using those huge helical antennas? I am just using a 3ft vertical dual band Jetstream and 2 Motorola PM400s, full duplex. thnx de WE6R

[@KJ7NLL]

Yes, we are using that dual winding helical antenna! if you want to see more about the project, here is a presentation: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHzIgIKXgqdnkLM
