[amsat-bb] Re: Field ISS contacts, any interest?

[Ing. Pavel Milanes Costa]

Hi Adrian, thanks for the date and link,

I will be from time to time in the ISS packet passes, will be more often 
as we approaching the FD date.

I will be mainly in non-work hours (from aprox 2000Z-2300Z to 0040Z) and 
weekends, is anyone want to tests his setup with me prior to FD just 
drop me an email...

Last couple of passes I try to work with the ericsson radio feel like 
less responsive/sensitive, I think it's for the less power from the ISS.

Working conditions here is a J-pole for 2m with AH LDF-4 low loss coax 
to the radio and 20W, software Soundmodem from Thomas Sailer in Ubuntu 
12.04 and Xastir.
