The downlink is on the normal  \n> ARISS VHF downlink, 145.80.\n> ?\n> General Voice Contacts: Use the regular general voice frequencies.  \n> 145.80 downlink. Uplinks are 144.49 in Region 2 (Americas) and  \n> 145.20 for Region 1 (Europe, Africa, Middle East) and Region 3  \n> (Australia, Asia). Richard and Mike Fincke, KE5AIT, have been on the  \n> air on voice since shortly after docking yesterday.\n> ?\n> Sleep Period Activity: We have asked the crew to turn packet on  \n> during sleep periods. Our intent is to keep SSTV active during their  \n> work day. The rationale for this is that we are having some issues  \n> with the software based (SpaceCam) SSTV system occasionally keeping  \n> the radio keyed down after an image transmission. And we have a  \n> limited set of Russian batteries available during Richard's flight  \n> for the VC-H1.\n> ?\n> Additional SSTV Information: The computer-based SSTV can also  \n> support SSTV picture taking using a USB camera. We don't anticipate  \n> Richard using this as his primary SSTV operations for his mission  \n> will be with the VC-H1. The USB camera was checked out over the  \n> weekend by the Expedition 17 crew, where they took photos of  \n> themselves and downlinked these to the ham community.\n>\n> ?\n> You are witnessing and are a part of history: Some of you have asked  \n> why Richard is using his callsign for some QSOs and SSTV contacts  \n> instead of the ISS station callsigns. There is a long and proud  \n> history that is attached to the Garriotts. This includes ham radio  \n> in space and their personal callsigns. 25 years ago, Richard's  \n> father, Owen Garriott, W5LFL, initiated the first ham radio contacts  \n> from space on the STS-9 SAREX mission.
