APRS over to the HT so we could sit in the warm car while listening. As Marla described below, opened the squelch and listened into a great signal and then back out again with similar times.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I was listening on the downlink (thanks, Jon).<br>
1258 - opened the squelch<br>
1301 - full quieting<br>
1307 - lost signal<br>
I remember listening to the beacon of Sputnik I back in 1957. What a rush to hear an astronaut answering questions from schoolkids 62 years later!<br>

Hello all,<br>
Students at Council Rock High School South in Southampton, PA will be<br>
talking with Astronaut Drew Morgan, KI5AAA aboard the ISS on Thursday.<br>
Listen for the contact beginning at about 12:55 pm eastern time on Thursday,<br>
December 5th. You should be able to hear Drew on the ISS voice downlink at<br>
145.800 MHz FM. The ISS pass will be a high one over our area. As a result,<br>
we should be able to hear the downlink using a good vertical antenna and<br>
perhaps even using an HT. Give this a try if you can and see if you can<br>
hear the ISS' side of the contact. I will probably be in my car, listening<br>
for the contact on my mobile radio and roof mount antenna. I'll be<br>
interested to hear if anyone is able to listen in on our weekly net, next<br>
week.<br>
73,<br>
Jon Turner<br>
AC1EV<br>
