It
doesn't matter where you are on the planet,
casual ham contacts with astronauts are
exceptionally rare unless there happens to
be a crew member aboard who is particularly
interested in getting on the air. Most of
the astronauts only have the ham license
because it's part of their mission training
for use of ARISS for school contacts. Only
on the occasions when we have someone such
as Kjell Lindgren, KO5MOS, aboard are you
likely to hear the ISS operating casually.

Yes, same
for me as VE3SVF over Toronto. The ISS is
never active here. However, the it appears
to only be active over Europe when the
downlink from the crew is on.
Same
request essentially, except Toronto as
well please!!

Dear
All,
I would like to have a personal QSO with
the ISS, unfortunately it seems that
when over the Indian Ocean they do not
expect any response, rightly so, as
there are only 3 OM’s capable of doing
so in the region.
In case you make a contact with
astronaut on board the ISS could you
please ask him to try to listen or call
when over Mauritius during his free
time. I will try to call each time
possible in the next 2 weeks.
Thanking you beforehand
