Hi David !
My last viable pass of the day and year!
Grrr - I missed it totally due to family visits away from home, so I didn't even hear ISS :-(
No other stations heard.
Yes, I realized I missed the opportunity. Must have been weird: a quiet ISS over Europe (normally I cannot even get a single 1k2 APRS packet in ...)
Would have been interesting to learn myself what the real challenge was for the 1,2GHZ uplink: - ERP (as some US reports suggest) - Correct doppler handling (as some others suggest)
What RF power did you use David ? (just your plain IC910?)
