Richard Garriott again was operating like a seasoned DXer this morning during a "FANTASTIC AUDIO/VISUAL PASS" over Greenville, SC!!!
Heavens-above ISS visual pass, 21 Oct, Mag -0.5, Greenville, SC
7:03 EDT Start 10 degree SSW
7:06 EDT Max 33 degree SE
7:08 EDT Ends 10 degree ENE
It was a clear morning, so I got to work early at 7am to see a 34 degree visual pass. I turned on the radio and Richard was on the air!
While watching for the pass I heard Richard faintly clear with another station.
I called:
Kilo Delta Four Sierra Foxtrot Foxtrot/Mobile from my work van.
He returned my call Kilo Delta Four Sierra Sierra Foxtrot/Mobile.
I quickly returned again correcting him:
Sugar Fox Fox, Sugar Fox Fox, your 5 by 9, QSL
He returned with my call corrected and said QSL!
I heard Richard also speak to:
K4ADR
KI8L
AA4KN
N8MH
KB5YZG
M3CXP - Tom
WB2OQQ - Pete
W2DPT
N3JQ - (youngster)

Richard,
I know your Father will be very proud your "Extreme Enthusiasm" of operating Ham Radio from Space!
A BIG THANKS from all of us!

All,
I think you all can agree that this has been a stellar and an historic week
for Amateur Radio on the International Space Station!
Speaking on behalf of the ARISS international team of volunteers and the
AMSAT community, we really appreciate the overwhelming flood of positive
comments that we have received from the ham radio community and the general
public regarding the ham radio operations on ISS this past week.
Collectively, we have all made history..starting with Richard, W5KWQ and his
father Owen, W5LFL and continuing with all of you that participated and/or
volunteered in his ISS journey. And along the way, we have sparked the
imaginations of thousands of students. Got more interest in satellite
operations. And, I understand, excited some youths to the point where they
are now licensed.
Richard Garriott, W5KWQ has been extremely prolific on the ARISS ham radio
system, making hundreds of voice contacts, operating the packet system
during the crew sleep times and transmitting hundreds of SSTV images
throughout the day. He put the newest ARISS hardware, the Kenwood VC-H1 to
good use, performing the vast majority of contacts with this hardware system
coupled with the Kenwood D700 Transciever. The remaining SSTV downlinks
were performed with the software-based SSTV system---using either the
SpaceCam software or MMSSTV software that are on-board ISS. Given the
limited availability of ISS computer systems, the ARISS team will continue
to utilize the VC-H1 well after Richard's flight. So don't be surprised if
you see some VC-H1 SSTV operations from Mike Fincke, KE5AIT, during his stay
as the commander of Expedition 18.
The team apologizes for the temporary shut-down of the ARISS SSTV server.
We have been a victim of our own success in that the site has been
overwhelmed by the popularity of Richard's SSTV images. We hope to get the
system operational very soon. This may take a URL change, so please check
the listservs and the ARISS SSTV blog http://www.ariss-sstv.blogspot.com/
for updated information. http://www.ariss.org will also carry updates.
ARISS Development and Operations
As a reminder to all, the ARISS team is an international volunteer working
group that is sponsored by three major entities in each ISS region---the
National Amateur Radio Society, the International AMSAT organization and the
National Space Agency. The 5 regions that comprise the ISS development are
Canada, Europe Japan, Russia, and the USA. In the USA, the two ham radio
sponsors are the ARRL and AMSAT-NA. NASA is the USA space agency sponsor.
Over 12 years ago, the formulation of the ARISS working group was a specific
request from NASA. They wanted the amateur radio community to
internationally consolidate into one team all the development and operations
of the ISS Ham radio system. This specific request from NASA, and
ultimately the other space agencies, was to provide a single focus of ham
radio on ISS within the amateur radio community and within the space
agencies. As a result, the 5 international delegations that make up ARISS
tightly coordinate the day-to-day mission operations as well as the
strategic hardware development planning and implementation. The success of
this past week would not have been realized without this tight coordination,
particularly between our Russian colleagues, led by Sergey Samburov, RV3DR
and our international operations team, led by Will Marchant, KC6ROL.
Individuals are always welcome to volunteer their support to ARISS through
their regional delegation. Please see the ARISS web site
http://www.ariss.org for more information on your regional delegates.
Voice QSOs
We have received some reports of individuals providing advice to the ISS
on-orbit crew or making specifc requests to the ISS crew to change or modify
the ARISS hardware, on-board software or ham radio operations. The ARISS
team would like to remind the amateur community that we all have a duty to
the international space agencies to coordinate ISS ham radio operations
through ARISS. Our advice to you is that if you have a specific request or
idea, that you forward it to one of the ARISS international delegates or
ARISS team leaders. These individuals are identified on the ARISS web site
http://www.ariss.org. Also, please remember that there are a *lot* of hams
that would like to get their QSO with the ISS (including me!) So please use
courtesy and keep your contact short. And once you have made a contact,
please do not go for a repeat.despite the intense temptation to do so. I
think you all know that this is an "open" hobby. So all are listening in,
observing and remembering your operating habits.
On behalf of the ARISS team, I thank you all for your interest in Ham Radio
on ISS. Enjoy the contacts! And remember the ARISS teams and organizations
that have made the ham radio system on ISS such a tremendous success. This
includes the national amateur radio societies and international AMSAT
organizations. As well as the international space agencies and the ISS
on-board crew members.

It is not in my usual habits to act as a devil's advocate...but if we want to see another marvelous experience as the one conducted by
Richard Garriott W5KVQ did we will have to wait for the next Ham space tourist with 16 millions to spend on a ride?
As Nigel says if the guys are too busy having to work for earning their crust and paying the bills or as Kenneth says they got busy with
their Earth observation photography over North America or as i said in a past thread "making soap bubble experiment ". I don't know what
the next plans will be as this one seems to be put in place when the stars and planets conjunctions and alignments where favourable!
Again i have the greatest respect for what's the guys are choosing to do in their spare time in space, but i'm only questioning myself on
the outcomes. Who will be the next HAM millionaire to fly in space? Still don't know why Bill Gates never ask for a ride yet?
P.S. Just remember "It is not in my usual habits to act as a devil's advocate.."

Hi ISS fans
Today, due the lack of SSTV pics over Europe,
I've been editing the audio recordings (remove
the silence) of Richard's QSO's over Europe,
and I already upload them to my blog
http://ct1eat.blogspot.com/
To find the audio, just scroll back to the posts
where I mention the call signs of the stations
who Richard talked with. Enjoy.
