Information:
I listened to the ARISS contact on 5/9/2011 With the Indiana School. Usually, the sigs from the ISS are quite strong. This contact was not that way. The sigs were about S7 or so even with my large KLM 2 meter beam tracking the ISS with a VHF preamp at the mast. I hope this helps any diagnosing you may need. I was part of the Fair Lawn, NJ school contact and the sigs were + 20db to 40db from about 8 degrees into the noise at the end of the contact. The contact was very exciting and very uplifting to the 250+ people there that day. Keep up the great things you guys do. 73, Dee, NB2F

Hi all,
The contact today with Greenville was the first time we have used the Ericsson radio from the Columbus module on the ISS. We have received some reports that the signal may been lower than from past contacts. Please pass along your thoughts on how the signals seemed to be. We also have several contacts on Saturday, so if you listen, please tell us how it sounded to you.
Thanks for the help.
