There have been rumors in the past indicating that the ISS was having direct
contacts on the 40 meter band. There is no HF radio equipment on board and
available yet. The HF antenna is mounted. Sometimes WA3NAN will retransmit
shuttle audio.

The Expedition 15 crew wrapped up a busy week of robotics and set the
stage for future growth of the International Space Station with the
relocation of Pressurized Mating Adapter-3 (PMA-3).
Thursday, Flight Engineer Clay Anderson used the station's robotic arm
to move PMA-3 from Unity's port docking mechanism to its nadir, or
earth-facing, docking mechanism to make room for the installation of the
Harmony node, which is set to arrive on Space Shuttle Discovery in October.
During the move, Commander Fyodor Yurchikhin worked with the docking
systems. Flight Engineer Oleg Kotov backed up both men.
Intensive preparations for the move began Monday. Throughout the week
the crew trained with computer-based simulations, relocated the robotic
arm through a series of moves to the Power Data and Grapple Fixture on
the Destiny Lab and set up the Centerline Berthing Camera System (CBCS).
The crew wrapped up their busy week on Friday with routine hearing tests
and clean-up activities associated with the PMA-3 move.

*Discovery Remains on Target for October*
Even with the work in progress on the external tank, the STS-120 launch
remains targeted for Oct. 23. Since the schedule leading to Discovery's
liftoff contains about five extra days, mission managers believe it
provides enough room to make the changes and still launch on time.
The preparation of Discovery continues in the Orbiter Processing
Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. In the nearby
Vehicle Assembly Building, stacking and closeout of the solid rocket
boosters are finished. Pending completion of foam repair work on the
external tank’s liquid oxygen feedline support brackets, attachment of
the tank to the boosters is targeted for Sept. 5.

After the school contact thought I heard a w1? station being
called on 145.800. Was it a simplex contact or an extension of the telebridge
technique or someone on the wrong frequency.
