[amsat-bb] [Video] Walter Jackson Elementary Reception from Raleigh, North Carolina

[Tim N8DEU]

John,

That is awesome!

Thanks for sharing your experience from Raleigh, NC. We had some people share a similar experience using handheld beams with their HT at our local club meeting last Friday night. They were very excited to hear the transmissions from the ISS.

It makes you wonder how many people were attempting to hear the same conversation. We received reports of people hearing the signals on their HT using the standard antenna attached as the ISS approached maximum elevation.


Thank You,
Tim - N8DEU

Frank's First ISS Reception - Walter Jackson Elementary

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxrOhKytmbU

I met Frank, NF2O on Facebook. I shared my last video of the Miami
Florida school ISS contact reception on the Ham Radio Operators
Facebook group, of which Frank was a member. He saw the video and
recognized the landfill park I filmed the video at. He commented on my
video saying that, and that it was his favorite place to work
satellites from. After chatting we agreed to meetup for the next ISS
reception. This video is a result of that.
