International Space Station Contact . . . Holly Grail of HAM Radio!ISS QSO 14SEP10 2010 UTCWell this was the "holly grail" of QSOs or contacts for the new rookie or the established "Elmer" HAM radio operator. Luck was in the air as I made contact with Col Doug Wheelock aboard the International Space Station operating the onboard HAM radio station NA1SS. I felt privileged as he spent a bit of time chatting with me. This was for sure a thrill of a life time!Wil - AI4QT YouTube Channelhttp://www.youtube.com/user/AI4QTClick the link below to download my ISS / Satellite Track Data Sheethttp://www.box.net/shared/09nk3y01t7UTC Clock for the MAC - Northern Softworkshttp://www.northernsoftworks.com/utcclock.htmlUseful Apple iPhone APPS (iTunes)• GoSatWatch• HamClockUPLINK: 144.490DOWNLINK: 145.800ISS Fan Club http://www.issfanclub.comCol.
