talking to the international space station

see what it's like to make a contact through the cross band repeater on board the international space station via ameature radio!!
radio is a yaesu ftm300d, and the antenna is a homebrew 1/4 wave ground plane maid out of coat hangers.
signal starts at 5:00 min mark for the impatient people lol.

You would have more chance to hear their signal if you leave the squelch open.

Didn't even think of that. It was my first time ever listening for the iss. Thanks for the tip!
