He looks a bit awkward there alone with his installation but what he achieved is really unique! Congratulations 😊

My dream contact! Sad that they do this very seldom.

[@JohnBrier]

Yes it is an amazing feeling. Keep your eyes on the various AMSAT forums (twitter/amsat-bb) to find out when they are active and one day you will do it.

this is great

[@26CW128Jake]

You did it son! I'm proud of you!

[@JohnBrier]

Thanks Jacob! I appreciate all your support!

[@keesvanoosbree5911]

HOLY COW!! WAY TO GO JOHN! Living the dream with that contact. I am surprised that you got out your equipment just for a random ISS pass. It's all about luck! Hope you make many more! 73 de KE0STO

Thanks Kees... it was not completely random, just unscheduled. Serena had worked a few Saturday morning passes in previous weeks and I went out hoping she was on this Saturday morning pass and she was. Thank you though!

[@keesvanoosbree5911]

Congrats. I still am hoping to make a contact with an astronaut. Hopefully, they will come on the air this weekend for the SSTV. Thank you!

[@JohnBrier]

@@keesvanoosbree5911 Good luck!

[@keesvanoosbree5911]

Thanks! You too!!

[@keesvanoosbree5911]

Thanks! How did you do with SSTV this weekend?

[@FFox98]

Just came from your TF2 sniping videos..... Such a coincidence I'm fan of ISS too! This was so interesting to see!

[@SpaceComms]

Check out my Space Comms channel too! It's all about ham radio space communications, including a lot of ISS stuff. 73, John Brier KG4AKV

were you using the 2m/70cm repeater or the 2m up/downlink?

[@paulocendegui_ce3vna]

Is great contact , always call to international space station one day contact 73

[@genesisarcherrivera2323]

pls make a social experiment about you showing them that you can communicate to astraunauts

[@SpaceComms]

Showing who?

[@genesisarcherrivera2323]

@@SpaceComms the people in public places you know....social experiment

@@genesisarcherrivera2323 Unfortunately I can't talk to astronauts everyday. I have only talked to them randomly/unscheduled one time in five years of operating amateur satellites. I have shown ISS SSTV to people in a park one time, to kids and their parents, and they were very impressed. :-)
