[AMSAT-BB] Re: ISS crew active?

15 Apr 2022

      Great I saw the reports on the AMSAT status page too and got a little
excited but it did turn out to be the unusual number of ARISS contacts
in a short period of time due to the AX-1 mission. So you weren't the
only one.

Yeah, it's been a while.? My last was with Richard Garriott, when he was a "tourist" on the ISS some years ago.
Sorry to get everyone's hopes up for a random contact with the crew.? In other emails, it's clear that the "crew active" flag has been (correctly) used to log ARISS contacts.? I thought I was well outside of the footprint so they couldn't have been ARISS, but should have done a bit more homework.

Hi Christy,
Ah, ok.? I guess I was letting my hopes get ahead of me in terms of live crew contacts, but I'm still a little puzzled about your report.? I've been watching the scheduled ARISS contacts for ones which include our area (CM98) in the footprint so I can let our local club know to listen in, and didn't think there were any. Where were you when you heard the crew?

Greg, all of my entry's? for crew active have been for the scheduled ARISS contacts for this past week.
BTW I was noticing the crew active logged by others have been in the category for the SSTV. I realized that since that is the frequency you would hear crew on the downlink, I switched to logging 'crew active' to that category versus my previous on 'FM repeater' log.
