It's makes the odds much higher.<br /><br />Please do not transmit in the amateur radio bands unless you're licensed. If you're not a ham but are interested, getting a ham radio license is highly recommended. Take a course from the local club.<br /><br />If you're a licensed amateur radio operator (ham), you could look up the correct frequency to try to transmit the up-link (it's different than the downlink). But there's not much chance that anyone will hear you from a low powered walkie-talkie unless you're very lucky or very skillful.<br /><br />NASA TV (on the Internet) had a bit where Col Wheelock demonstrated the ISS ham station, and allowed us to hear the mess that he hears. There's dozens or hundreds of people calling at once. He's only able to pick out the occasional call from the stronger stations (or lucky stations).<br /><br />Have fun.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07872771321149993568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4439560882728157292.post-6509557676549991122010-11-23T10:12:18.484-08:002010-11-23T10:12:18.484-08:00Hi, could you please post the frequencies that you...Hi, could you please post the frequencies that you used to listen to the ISS? I have recently bought a Quansheng TG-UV2 and would like to listen to these transmissions as well. Thanks!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414410195931313773noreply@blogger.com
