Luc, I have a 11 minute recording that starts about 1819utc. I don't have any software except Windows sound recorder. As far as I know, it will only make short recordings. (one minute) I can edit out the dead air and make a few recordings for you. If you know another option, just let me know. 73, Rick - WA4NVM ----- Original Message ----- From: "Luc Leblanc" <lucleblanc6(a)videotron.ca> To: <amsat-bb(a)amsat.org> Cc: <sarex(a)amsat.org> Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2008 4:08 PM Subject: [amsat-bb] ISS ISS 1820UTC pass > > Did anyone recorded around the 1820UTC pass over est NA? if you have > something i will add it to my collection as i have the first pass. > > Thank's > > > "-" > > > Luc Leblanc VE2DWE > Skype VE2DWE > www.qsl.net/ve2dwe > WAC BASIC CW PHONE SATELLITE > > > > _______________________________________________ > Sent via AMSAT-BB(a)amsat.org.

I use audacity software for recording and editing. It is a great free open source recording software. http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ Al - KD4SFF -- "Rick - WA4NVM" <wa4nvm(a)comcast.net> wrote: Luc, I have a 11 minute recording that starts about 1819utc.

Ok . I guess i can put my 1kw 2m amp away. I made 47 voice contacts with Richard, did I win the contest? For some reason I didn't get any mail back from anyone who copied any of my pic's even with the kilowatt into my KLM 22c ant. I tried every pass. Seriously it was the most fun I've seen everyone have with ISS in a long time. Keep up the great work guy's... 73 Jeff kb2m ----- Original Message ----- From: "Luc Leblanc" <lucleblanc6(a)videotron.ca> To: <sarex(a)amsat.org> Cc: <amsat-bb(a)amsat.org>; <eu-amsat(a)yahoogroups.com> Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2008 2:58 PM Subject: [amsat-bb] [sarex] ISS 1820UTC pass > > On the 1820Z October 23 2008 Richard confirm that this pass will be his > last one as he will dismantle his radio setup as he will be in the > process of preparing for his return to earth.

22 October passes?
by Stan Vandiver 23 Oct '08

23 Oct '08

Hi all, Would anyone have recordings from 22 October that I can get copies of? As I mentioned in a previous post, I didn't get anything that day (technical difficulties)... and I have some friends who have good QSO's, or some just partial callsigns coming back... but they would really like to get an audio clip. I'd like a copy of any audio that day that you may have. Many thanks in advance! Send to w4sv at arrl dot net 73, Stan W4SV

Estimado Colega: Stan W4SV: Muchísimas gracias, por haberme permitido, disfrutar 10 días espectaculares, donde El Proyecto ARISS, con Richard Garriot NA1SS, nos tuvo a miles de radioaficionados, espectantes, por recibir imáges, y / o realizar, el tan esperado QSO con la ISS. Fantástico. En estos 10 días, la ISS y ARISS logró unir a muchísimas estaciones de radio del mundo. Fue maravilloso ver mis imágenes de SSTV, recibidas en el paso de la ISS por Neuquén, al lado de otras, como por ejemplo, países de Europa y Asia, en fin, fue muy linda experiencia. Señor Stan W4SV, mis más sinceras FELICITACIONES A USTED Y A TODOS LOS COLEGAS QUE PARTICIPARON DEL EVENTO. 73 de Luis Funes LU8YY www.cetra.org.ar

2nd/final report from Hanna, IN
by Stan Vandiver 23 Oct '08

23 Oct '08

Hi all, Wow! Awesome, wasn't it? I guess its now over, as Richard announced this was his last pass (1818 UTC, 23 Oct) before shutting down the radios to prepare for departure. I would like to express my thanks to all of those involved who helped Richard make this mission such a "radio-active" experience on both voice and SSTV. It was a blast! Unfortunately, I had some issues with my computer recorder and did not get every pass after my last report (and nothing at all on 22 October). But here is a log of dates/times/callsigns for voice QSO's that I do have on file. If anyone needs an audio clip, please drop me a note at w4sv at arrl dot net . I will be glad to double-check any of my recordings if you think you made a contact but are not listed here (please give date and time, as close as possible). I have omitted the log of SSTV pics received this time... but there were many. 73, Stan W4SV Hanna, IN 17 October 2008 (times approximate but very close) 1231Z: WA4SCA (with Mike Fincke, NA1SS) 1232Z: ?

1505UTC pass
by Mike Fenske 23 Oct '08

23 Oct '08

Hello All. Just wondering if anyone has a recording of the 15:05 UTC pass over North America this morning? I heard Richard making several voice contacts on what he described would probably be his last pass before returning to earth. He did respond to my call, but I didn't get a recording :( Thanks & 73, Mike Fenske VE7MKF

ISS SSTV - My Last Image Just Received
by David Barber 23 Oct '08

23 Oct '08

Well that's it for me and the UK. Pass 12.09utc, the last visible here in the UK before Richard leaves, and another picture to add to the collection. Seems to have been a small problem up there as the first image started before the TX keyed up and only a quarter of the second image was sent before the TX went off. Anyway great effort by all, thoroughly enjoyable. Where did the last 10 days go? Thank you. David G8OQW
