You are most likely to hear ISS on 145.825 with APRS packets. There is a school to ISS QSO coming up on Thursday, Feb 20 around 1820 UTC. That QSO can be heard on 145.800 (if you're in the footprint, of course).

Subject: [amsat-bb] Satellite question week 3

Progress on 3rd week of beginning satellite hobby:
(still reading and learning..)

Two HT's with homemade YAGI (2M and 70cm)

Learning to receive only first.

Received multiple passes of AO-91 and 92. Recorded voices and deciphered
later, matching call signs and grid coordinates to make sure I heard
correctly. Also, listened to NO-84 signal. So I confirm reception on both U
and V.

I checked active status online for the following satellites but on trying
to receive them, got nothing: KKS-1, TIGRISAT, FALCONSAT3, DELPHI C3,
EO-88, DUCHIFAT1, and ISS (both 433.550 and 145.800).

Questions:
Is there a place where hams could log their connections? If I knew that,
for example, Falconsat3 was truly transmitting, then that would help.

Are there other "active" bird lists? (I used N2Y0)

Thanks.
