Robb, After watching your great video on your contact with the I.S.S. I had to share my story. In the 1990's I worked SSB 2m/70cm satellites. "Oscar" came over the horizon and a huge pile-up of Hams were calling the MIR Space Station. Americans and Russians were on board the MIR. I could hear Commander John Blaha ask if anyone on Earth knew the score of his favorite Texas football team? No replies. But 90 seconds later, Oscar dipped over the Eastern horizon and we lost signal. I called my friends at KRON TV in San Francisco and asked for every ball game score they had so I could deliver them to the astronauts. 90 minutes later when Oscar came back over the horizon, the station pile-ups came right along with it. I boosted my power, keyed down and shouted "I have ball scores, I have ball scores, I have ball scores"...and John's voice came back "all you stations stand down..I want to hear that station who has ball scores"....and for the next minute and a half, I got the opportunity to talk with the American and Russian crew members. After the U.S. Space Shuttle returned to Earth, I received a great QSL card from the American crew. So now, when other hams brag about their distant DX contacts to Easter Island or Antarctica, I tell them.."that's no big deal. I made contact with men from space !!" '73
Anyartica and easter islands my ass i contacted people in space, he he he and they wanted ball scores he he he no big deal . 73 s old man .DE VU3 PIS from india
Just watched the ISS video of ham contacts including yours and coincidentally yours was the next video I clicked on! Fantastic contact and great video!
This is fantastic, what a great moment for you contacting the ISS and having video from your end and aboard the ISS, the odds of that must be astronomically low a holy grail moment I'd imagine.
Awesome contact. My cousin and I did this on 27.5550. USB as well as a few other us stations , few months later in popular communications mag they had a article about talking on 27.5550 USB to some stations in the states. Was cool to do and to read about it. 73's from Watkins Glen, New York. #12...
Always something to nit pick isn't there? This is a one in a billion chance having both sides recorded and a wonderful moment and you're worried about his phonetics
Wow, very cool!!!! I just passed my tech license today. Can’t wait to get on the radio!!! That would definitely be an opportunity of a lifetime to talk to the ISS! Congratulations man
that's gotta be something special to watch the nasa video and hear your voice being transmitted through your station through theirs and hear it in space. congratulations. very cool.
Just had this video on my suggested feed and thought the QSOs sounded familiar. This is when Expedition 25 was aboard the ISS and commander Wheelock recorded the QSOs. If you start this video at 2:25 and the other video at 12:13, they match perfectly. Really cool to see both sides to this convo! ua-cam.com/video/h73EYcyszf8/v-deo.html
Robb--There is a NASA video that I just viewed which has the other end of your conversation, actually from the astronaut you specifically spoke with aboard the Space Station. You can hear your question about the mountain base camp. Did you know this? Its called 'Space Station Crew uses Ham Radio to call Earth' and it is at the 13:30 mark. World's biggest coincidence my friend! 73's From Jim, KM4MYT Viera Florida
I can understand what the ISS end is like. A while back I used my ID-51 at 2200 feet AGL in a glider. I put out a call on 146.52 and lots of people came back. Everyone was stepping on each other because the ground-based stations couldn't hear each other. So I went up to 446.0, which was much less busy, and made a couple contacts, the longest was 95 miles, pretty good for an ID-51 with a 3 inch stubby antenna. --de N3TPS/AM
Cool! great to hear a little convo. ive always got it programmed into my scanner but havent been lucky enough to hear it yet in australia. picked up plenty of noaa sats and built weather pictures but 😉
Wow, thats gr8 that the Intl Space Station converse w/ ppl around the world instead of ppl from NASA. That is super cool. Also thats 1 hell of a radio setup U have. Thx 4 sharing on the internet.
I saw the NASA video of this conversation aboard the International Space Station. I remembered the conversation and it was neat to see the person that was on the other end of that call! Search Space Station Crew Uses HAM Radio to Call Earth. ua-cam.com/video/h73EYcyszf8/v-deo.html
As I watched SpaceX launch another rocket today and was thinking of Elon's comments about colonizing Mars I couldn't help but think all this space travel could really make ham radio very relevant. I mean if we start to have larger numbers of people living in space wither the space station, the moon, or some other planet, I can see them wanting and others wanting to talk to them. Internet will probably be a think in space via satellites but still it makes me wonder.
Guy in USA, I use my $20k setup to contact the Space Lab. Kid in China, I do it with my $20 Baofeng. The kid is the true spirit of Amateur Radio. I have been licensed for years but never go on air now, 20 metres or as it is known now "Killowatt Alley" is a joke. What has become of what once was a friendly hobby?
Robb Kunz If you don't posting some of the equipment you use that would be greatly appreciated! Mainly interested in the brand/model of antenna that you are using and how it is pointed. Are you using a separate amplifier along with that transceiver?
I swear I heard you on nasa tv when Col. Wheelock was demonstrating the amatuer radio station last year lootk up ISS ham radio in youtube and click the one that is Doug Wheelock talking on a radio it is you man!!

Nathan JR yea me to its pretty cool he is on the nasa channe
me too haha
Me too
same
The other side of the video is on NASA channel. This is cool.
Suryanarayan Mondal I just saw that video last week. they should link these videos.
i saw it too from the twitter thing..
Because it's a planned hoax. Don't believe everything your TV shows you. Good day

That is the cooles thing I ever encounter .,thank you for sharing .,never thought that could ever be possible
This is fantastic, what a great moment for you contacting the ISS and having video from your end and aboard the ISS, the odds of that must be astronomically low a holy grail moment I'd imagine.
I randomly found this video. I have to say it is pretty impressive that you had a conversation with the ISS.
Pretty cool!
I saw a video of the same conversation in this video, except it was shot in the ISS
Very cool that you not only made contact, but happened to catch them just as they were filming on their end too! Right on! thanks for sharing
As a young ham, this is a very cool video. Hope to talk to the space station or farther in my lifetime.
Awesome contact. My cousin and I did this on 27.5550. USB as well as a few other us stations , few months later in popular communications mag they had a article about talking on 27.5550 USB to some stations in the states. Was cool to do and to read about it.
73's from Watkins Glen, New York. #12...
Very cool that you have BOTH sides of the conversation! Congrats!!
Brilliant video but everytime you said sugar instead of Sierra it hurt my soul
It's make me cringe when I hear that...
tut tut.
Always something to nit pick isn't there? This is a one in a billion chance having both sides recorded and a wonderful moment and you're worried about his phonetics
@@jrgt628 I'm sure everyone is really concerned about making you cringe.
Pretty cool that NA1SS signed off with “sugar sugar” if you watch their side of the conversation.
Wow, very cool!!!! I just passed my tech license today. Can’t wait to get on the radio!!! That would definitely be an opportunity of a lifetime to talk to the ISS! Congratulations man
I saw the video from inside the space station when this contact was made. Now ive seen both sides
that's gotta be something special to watch the nasa video and hear your voice being transmitted through your station through theirs and hear it in space. congratulations. very cool.
It's cool when you sync the two videos up.
Very Cool! That's one heck of a nice rig you have set up.
Debs husband says as a fellow ham you have a great looking station!

ua-cam.com/video/h73EYcyszf8/v-deo.html
I thought that sounded familiar!
Very cool Doug. I remember the Shuttle contacts were very tough to get, and Mir voice even tougher. This was a cool QSO !
Wow, I just saw the video of the other end of this conversation the other day.
Haha i just played the two videos in sync..pretty cool!!
They always say not to deviate from the standard phonetic alphabet.... Making up words defeats the purpose of using it.
M Maida is that what the "sugar sugar" was about? I'm brand new to ham, but had no idea what that meant.
Brett Davis yeah people tend to use their own words even though we have the PA it would be for S. Sierra sierra. Welcome to ham radio!
wouldn't you say sweet if comms are working
At the airport I trained at, at night airline pilots and atc would say stuff like unicorn, apples etc haha
I skip yahoo's like that. Mildred Thomas Zanzibar. Operators that deviate from the standard phonetics are just trying to act cool.

I just watched that video. Didn't expect to come across this.
This is the best freaking video I seen in UA-cam and mind you I seen thousands. Soooo cool!!!
hey MR Robb i was just on the nasa channel and heard the other side of this call on the ISS very cool sir !!! have a good day !

How funny, I just watched his video last night and now I'm seeing the other side :)
I literally just watched the video of the guy taking your call from the space station
Man, this is awesome, congratulations.
Amazing! I got goosebumps man!
Cool! great to hear a little convo. ive always got it programmed into my scanner but havent been lucky enough to hear it yet in australia. picked up plenty of noaa sats and built weather pictures but 😉
haa, I just watched the video of Doug talking to you from the station, so flippin cool, you can't even plan stuff like that!
For those who claim ISS don't exists watch this video, us Hams know the truth
Very very cool Robb...loved hearing the ISS call back! Thanks for sharing 73 de N7QJM
Wow, thats gr8 that the Intl Space Station converse w/ ppl around the world instead of ppl from NASA. That is super cool. Also thats 1 hell of a radio setup U have. Thx 4 sharing on the internet.
Very cool - I had both videos side-by-side and listening to them synced. :)
Wow - this video auto-played a couple of vids after the ISS one with this same contact. Very, very cool! 74, Roger, KM4WVE
wich is the frecuency IIS use to transmit? always is the same or they change constinuosly?
This is the video seen from the ISS: ua-cam.com/video/h73EYcyszf8/v-deo.html
Thanks for the update and for the first!, ON3EO
I remember I had a 21 beam vhf and uhf beams tracking the ISS and like 500 watts of power lmao, full contact horizon to horizon.
I WILL HAVE TO LEARN HOW I COULD SET UP MY HAM SHACKTO DO THAT.
Less sugar, more Sierra.
Very nice contact with ISS! Thanks for sharing. 73 from Finland.

Nice looking station.
This is crazy!

nice station and great contect demo!73 n4vil in florida
I've got the video of the astronaut's side of view here ua-cam.com/video/h73EYcyszf8/v-deo.html it's at 13:20 and it's the exact conversation.
Very interesting video. ✌🏻
awesome video, sounds like you have intermodulation distortion on the audio.
the other side is at time index 13:20 at ua-cam.com/video/h73EYcyszf8/v-deo.html
何を言ってるかは分からないけど、ずっと見てられる
i have heard this conversation in other video from ISS :)
Very awesome!!!
Does the ISS need to be over the United States to transmit?

There's this same video but of the other end on the iss.
I saw the video on both sides!! :))

@@ruperrdz Its in the Description.
That's pretty decent latency considering you're talking to astronauts

Isnt the callsign India SIERRA SIERRA?
Robb Kunz If you don't posting some of the equipment you use that would be greatly appreciated! Mainly interested in the brand/model of antenna that you are using and how it is pointed. Are you using a separate amplifier along with that transceiver?
Hello. Good contact. Only i contact when transmit SSTV standby , response few word. I hope same contact. 73 from Santiago de Chile CE3VNA
Nice contact brother!!!! Congrats!!!!!!!!!!
hay thats fn nice dos it come with wings too

Dear mate, can you tell me, what gear you use ... kind regards and thanks a lot.
awesome
congratulation for tjis contact 73 CE3VNA

Hey Rob!! Do You Have to Have an Antenna to Call ISS?!!
Ricky Totoki kind of impossible to do any radio work without a antenna
This is the US Space Station we got you five and nine
tell me what or why you keep looking at the screen? or what is to your right of the monitor??
He's looking at a screen tracking the ISS
