John,
I have worked them before. If you hear many stations being answered, that?s
because there are "many stations." 144.490 uplink should be used. You
didn't mention any type of antenna you are using, however, on a pass that is
below 45 degrees, you mobile should work OK-Just use the highest power level
of your mobile to compensate for not having a directional antenna.
Have a good tracking program to determine that the ISS is actually coming
over your area.
Have fun trying and when you do contact them, don't forget to ask for a QSL
via the ARRL. A recording of the QSO would be nice to play at a local ham
gathering to get others interested.
73,
Dee, NB2F
Try 145.800 rec and 144-490 transmitt that works for me and best chance is
when they are the closest to your location

Anyone have any tips for working the iss? I've heard several passes this
week on 145.800 but cannot seem to get thru the pileup. Timing your
transmissions seems to be the hardest part. The Tx offset I'm using is
-1.31mhz. Any suggestions?

Actually, although a true 1/4 wave over an infinite ground plane
does have 3 dB gain over a dipole, very few people use an
infinite ground plane and so I consider the 1/4 "ground plane"
(with 1/4 radials) and 1/2 wave vertical dipoles and J-poles all
to be non gain omnis. They basically have 0 dBd gain, and my
comments are pretty much still valid I think. So I think a
J-pole also makes a pretty good omni antenna for satellites.
(Better than all other terrestrial "gain" antennnas.
When I refer to terrestrial omni "Gain" antennas, I am talking
about the 5/8ths wave (which has a complete null at only 15
degrees above the horizon) and other larger terrestrial gain
antennas up to 6 and 9 dBd gain.
Hope that clarifies it.

If I may add my two cents:
After checking on http://Oscar.dcarr.org it appears that the ISS has been
active on voice between 21:00 and 22:00 utc lately. Commander Wheelock
seems to get into patterns of availability on the radio but of course it
depends on time available on the space station.
I used that as a guideline and found an excellent pass that fit in the
timeframe such as that when I had made my contact back in June or July.
Of course there is a chance on any decent pass that you may catch him on the
frequencies you mentioned.
I hope that his successors up there continue to be active after he returns
to Earth at the end of the month I believe. Of course there is always packet
and APRS but a voice contact is always amazing.
Http://www.issfanclub.com is also a site that has a wealth of information
that may be helpful.
Good luck and enjoy!
