mentioned the ISS, on 1/14/06 I made a contact with the ISS via Ham Radio
UHF, Cmdr Bill McArthur (KC5ACR) heard and repeated my call (N7TMY) thru the
probable pile up and I will get a QSL card! (I sent one of course). They were
using the International Space Sta. call sign of NA1SS and we had contact as he
passed over the NW USA on 437.550 MHz, using a vertical w/ 35W!! Not bad, huh??<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Spacesuit goes overboard for unusual mission<br>
Worn-out suit recycled into miniature satellite sending out a radio beacon<br>
<br>
By James Oberg<br>
NBC News space analyst<br>
Special to MSNBC<br>
Updated: 2:52 p.m. ET Jan. 31, 2006<br>
<br>
<br>
<st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">HOUSTON</st1:place></st1:City> - It
sounds like a scene from science fiction: A lone figure is cast off from the
space<br>
station, getting smaller and smaller as it drifts out into empty space.<br>
<br>
In this case, however, no human will actually be at risk. When the crew members
aboard the<br>
international space station toss a worn-out spacesuit over the side, it will be
empty except for an<br>
interesting amateur radio experiment.<br>
<br>
During a spacewalk scheduled this Friday, astronaut Bill McArthur and cosmonaut
Valery Tokarev will<br>
spend six hours carrying out assembly, repair and inspection work on the space
station — and one<br>
photogenic feat of "space littering."<br>
<br>
It won't be the first time an old Russian spacesuit has been tossed overboard,
but "SuitSat," as it<br>
is called, has an actual mission.<br>
<br>
A simple battery-powered radio transmitter inside the suit will use an antenna
mounted to the suit's<br>
helmet to send signals down to Earth for up to several days. The data will
include temperature<br>
readings, a slow-scan TV image and several specially coded messages for ham
radio listeners to<br>
figure out.<br>
<br>
