The International Space Station
I have meaning to do this for ages, try to listen to the International Space Station as it whizzes past. Just tried it (tonight (12/8/16) at 22:15) saw it go across the sky and got a noise free signal on 145.8MHz using a handheld transceiver on the standard 'rubber duck' aerial. Great fun!
NASA has an 'app' for most devices telling you when it i passes I must give it another go in daylight. |

Re: The International Space Station
There was about 7/8 cloud cover here until 0200, when the sky cleared. I saw about a dozen between 0200 and 0300. But no spectacularly long ones, unfortunately. I'll try again tonight...
