Good morning, I monitored all Fram2 passes so far and nothing Rxed. I guess it is not transmitting over the Indian Ocean. Does anyone have some idea when and where they rransmit? 73 Jean Marc 3B8DU

Hello Patrick! Nice to hear from you. I am answering your antenna question from my personal account because I only have unconfirmed, unreliable alleged rumors from vaguely plausible sources that might be spouting idle speculation leaving me with a notion that Fram2Ham is using an antenna (whip?) external to the cabin and not some wires taped to a cabin window, but SpaceX does not want to disclose any details leaving hams a wonderful opportunity to speculate amongst ourselves endlessly without anyone pulling out their phone to Google the official answer to ruin the fun. In honor of W8JK(SK) I secretly hope it is some variant of a helix. Unofficially yours, Joe KM1P
