ham radio

[Doc Altman SASS#74468]

Sorry.  I'm a bit late to the thread.

 

General class operator here.

If there is a list of SASS Ham operators floating around somewhere, I'd sure like to see it.

I don't think so. It's probably one we would have to come up with ourselves and then have it pinned.

 

Has anyone tried to contact the International Space Station?

Was curious of the difficulty in performing that task.

I have not but it's something I'd try if I had someone to show me how.  I have a vertical for 2m but I'm not sure it'd be strong enough (too omnidirectional).  I also have a 2m/440 yagi on my tower that came with the tower, but it isn't hooked up.

Morse code is no longer a requirement for any classes.

It's been decades since code was required.  Come and join us!
