Heard him on the 1900z pass (10 deg above horizon) and wondering if
he's previously made voice QSOs on the latter passes that currently go
right through the middle of the US ((2037 here for Texas)

I agree. Many newcomers don't know how to operate on sats, and this
is often compounded by poor receive performance on many beginners'
stations. On many occasions, if an offending station was within
simplex range, I'd call them aside after the pass, and have a bit of
a chat. If there was another pass to follow, I'd invite them to have
another go, focusing on receiving the downlink, and if they do hear
the bird, giving a quick call and try their luck. In the downtime
between or after passes, we'd talk about things like improving
downlink reception. One year, while holidaying in Queensland, I had
a whole bunch of locals using UO-14 with portable gear, after talking
them through the process on the local repeater before the passes.
:) If people have a HT, I will suggest they take it outside during a
pass and have a listen, if they don't have any suitable antennas already
setup.
Almost everyone I have spoken to has gone on to make a successful
satellite contact, after this bit of Elmering.

Cool. I wrote a similar piece around 8 years ago called
"satiquette", which addressed these issues on FM birds. At the
time, SO-35 was active, and that was hugely popular down here. It
was a lot of fun. :) I also wrote some articles on using SO-35's
parrot mode, which took a lot of skill to get any useable
throughput. The parrot (for those who don't know or recall) was
basically a simplex store and forward repeater that worked in the
following cycles: <single tone> 10 second uplink slot (satellite
receiving) <double tones> 10 second downlink slot (satellite
transmitting). As one could imagine, this had _massive_ hidden
station issues, but if you did it right, you could get a QSO. Just
enough time to get a callsign and RST, with time for one or two
others to do the same in the slot. :)

Agree. The majority of "anti-social" behaviour is actually
ignorance, and education goes a long way to making things work smoothly. :)

Dear AMSAT-BB members:
Sorry for the inconvenience, but the ARISS SSTV server will be down for
the next few hours. The Internet connection to the site has been
overwhelmed by the popularity of Richard's images. We're working
feverishly to get another site online in the next few hours. The URL to
access the site will change and I'll report back on that as soon as
possible. Please continue to collect imagery from Richard and we'll be
back online again as soon as possible. Thanks very much for your
patience and support!
73,
Will

Tuesday 10-21-08
NABS, Richard Garriott (aka W5KWQ), has been very busy this past week. Every
ISS pass over the Eastern North America has had either space to ground SSTV
or voice contacts. (except during sleep times). Sunday, Monday and Tuesday he
worked mostly voice contacts. It took me three days to finally get a QSL from
him at 1106Z this morning !!! I bet he had a pile-up on his hands.
Does anybody know how /if Richard will work QSL cards ?

worth your time to evaluate.

All,
I think you all can agree that this has been a stellar and an historic week
for Amateur Radio on the International Space Station!
Speaking on behalf of the ARISS international team of volunteers and the
AMSAT community, we really appreciate the overwhelming flood of positive
comments that we have received from the ham radio community and the general
public regarding the ham radio operations on ISS this past week.
Collectively, we have all made history..starting with Richard, W5KWQ and his
father Owen, W5LFL and continuing with all of you that participated and/or
volunteered in his ISS journey. And along the way, we have sparked the
imaginations of thousands of students. Got more interest in satellite
operations. And, I understand, excited some youths to the point where they
are now licensed.
Richard Garriott, W5KWQ has been extremely prolific on the ARISS ham radio
system, making hundreds of voice contacts, operating the packet system
during the crew sleep times and transmitting hundreds of SSTV images
throughout the day. He put the newest ARISS hardware, the Kenwood VC-H1 to
good use, performing the vast majority of contacts with this hardware system
coupled with the Kenwood D700 Transciever. The remaining SSTV downlinks
were performed with the software-based SSTV system---using either the
SpaceCam software or MMSSTV software that are on-board ISS. Given the
limited availability of ISS computer systems, the ARISS team will continue
to utilize the VC-H1 well after Richard's flight. So don't be surprised if
you see some VC-H1 SSTV operations from Mike Fincke, KE5AIT, during his stay
as the commander of Expedition 18.
The team apologizes for the temporary shut-down of the ARISS SSTV server.
We have been a victim of our own success in that the site has been
overwhelmed by the popularity of Richard's SSTV images. We hope to get the
system operational very soon. This may take a URL change, so please check
the listservs and the ARISS SSTV blog http://www.ariss-sstv.blogspot.com/
for updated information. http://www.ariss.org will also carry updates.
ARISS Development and Operations
As a reminder to all, the ARISS team is an international volunteer working
group that is sponsored by three major entities in each ISS region---the
National Amateur Radio Society, the International AMSAT organization and the
National Space Agency. The 5 regions that comprise the ISS development are
Canada, Europe Japan, Russia, and the USA. In the USA, the two ham radio
sponsors are the ARRL and AMSAT-NA. NASA is the USA space agency sponsor.
Over 12 years ago, the formulation of the ARISS working group was a specific
request from NASA. They wanted the amateur radio community to
internationally consolidate into one team all the development and operations
of the ISS Ham radio system. This specific request from NASA, and
ultimately the other space agencies, was to provide a single focus of ham
radio on ISS within the amateur radio community and within the space
agencies. As a result, the 5 international delegations that make up ARISS
tightly coordinate the day-to-day mission operations as well as the
strategic hardware development planning and implementation. The success of
this past week would not have been realized without this tight coordination,
particularly between our Russian colleagues, led by Sergey Samburov, RV3DR
and our international operations team, led by Will Marchant, KC6ROL.
Individuals are always welcome to volunteer their support to ARISS through
their regional delegation. Please see the ARISS web site
http://www.ariss.org for more information on your regional delegates.
Voice QSOs
We have received some reports of individuals providing advice to the ISS
on-orbit crew or making specifc requests to the ISS crew to change or modify
the ARISS hardware, on-board software or ham radio operations. The ARISS
team would like to remind the amateur community that we all have a duty to
the international space agencies to coordinate ISS ham radio operations
through ARISS. Our advice to you is that if you have a specific request or
idea, that you forward it to one of the ARISS international delegates or
ARISS team leaders. These individuals are identified on the ARISS web site
http://www.ariss.org. Also, please remember that there are a *lot* of hams
that would like to get their QSO with the ISS (including me!) So please use
courtesy and keep your contact short. And once you have made a contact,
please do not go for a repeat.despite the intense temptation to do so. I
think you all know that this is an "open" hobby. So all are listening in,
observing and remembering your operating habits.
On behalf of the ARISS team, I thank you all for your interest in Ham Radio
on ISS. Enjoy the contacts! And remember the ARISS teams and organizations
that have made the ham radio system on ISS such a tremendous success. This
includes the national amateur radio societies and international AMSAT
organizations. As well as the international space agencies and the ISS
on-board crew members.

This is a great mode I agree. I just need to group the S and L band antennas
together.
Right now they're on separate towers and I'm extra busy tuning separate
radio dials and
antenna controllers for each pass. Need an extra hand for the mic.
However, I've got this plan to fix all that, soon : )

It is not in my usual habits to act as a devil's advocate...but if we want to
see another marvelous experience as the one conducted by
Richard Garriott W5KVQ did we will have to wait for the next Ham space tourist
with 16 millions to spend on a ride?
As Nigel says if the guys are too busy having to work for earning their crust
and paying the bills or as Kenneth says they got busy with
their Earth observation photography over North America or as i said in a past
thread "making soap bubble experiment ". I don't know what
the next plans will be as this one seems to be put in place when the stars and
planets conjunctions and alignments where favourable!
Again i have the greatest respect for what's the guys are choosing to do in
their spare time in space, but i'm only questioning myself on
the outcomes. Who will be the next HAM millionaire to fly in space? Still
don't know why Bill Gates never ask for a ride yet?
P.S. Just remember "It is not in my usual habits to act as a devil's

I was able to hear it, but it was too noisy to decode the picture. You
can see that qsstv thinks there's Robot36 there, but that's about it. A
combination of an omnidirectional antenna and a low pass (10 degrees
maximum elevation at my QTH in IO75) didn't really help.
Maybe for the next time they're using SSTV on the ISS I'll have my quad
