    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

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!

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.

    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

    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.
