@kishor_VU2MZT The FM Repeater is where the Astronauts pop in. Make casual QSOs with other Hams and the Astronauts pop in from time to time. 145.990 pl 67 tx and 437.800 RX
@kishor_VU2MZT there are only other frequencies that scheduled contacts like schools use. The only way to talk to an Astronaut not scheduled is when the pop in on the FM Repeater...
Does the TYT MD-UV390 support full duplex operation? If not, did you have a second rig to be able to do the uplink/downlink being on two different bands (vhf, uhf)
Awesome! Well done to all who got a contact. De Peter VK4APV - City of Brisbane Radio Society
Hope Matthew comes on the radio more often!!
Congratulations Don!! I have yet to hear NA1SS, let alone contact one. You are the Man!!!
@W0CYC-HamRadioEndeavors Thanks it will happen!
Congratulations Man!!! de N2NWK
Awesome!
@KO4GAR Thanks I'm still really stoked even though it's my 5th NA1SS QSO but my 1st with Matthew Dominick!
It's awesome to talk with astronaut.... Can you mention your iss crew contact. VHF and UHF frequency here ? So other interested people like me can try

Congrats , how much Tx power ?
He runs about 10 watts, well at least that's what his radio is rated for. TYT UV-390 PLUS.
@@RoboTech831 yep had the HT on 10 watts!

@WarrenPostma no full duplex. I've made over 800 FM Satellite QSOs without full duplex. Full duplex is only truly needed for SSB Satellites
@@WarrenPostma the firmware follows both doppler shifts for you...
