I would like to see if I could DX some transmissions coming from the ISS.

Is it as simple as taking a radio outside when the station flies over where I'm at? What sites let me check its current position?

Tune in 145.800, 2M radio on the ISS. I have not heard much traffic since CMDR. Wheelock left the station. He was on 2M most every night. He seemed to really like using the radio.

Does the ISS still have a packet mail box?

I have not heard the MB lately...but it's still listed as active, Worldwide packet uplink/downlink 145.825.

To all: our SATCOM wiki has several ISS related links, including links for tracking software (online, too) and hints on working the birds, as well as SSTV software links for the times the astronauts decide to send some pix...

SATCOM - The RadioReference Wiki

If there are any links you think are relevant that aren't there feel free to add them

best regards..Mike

And celestrak's amateur.txt kep file has Radioskaf-B(ARISSat-1) now included so your software can track it
