It's possible to happen on 2 meters via satellite too.
In the early 90's I submitted proposals for Sarex contacts to NASA and was
selected for two schools in the area, STS-56. The day before I set up my
oscar station at the high school where the contacts would take place.
Antenna was a ten element RCHP cross yagi steerable on the school
roof. The morning contacts were to happen the weather was really weird, we
had a spring snow storm go through, and I'm sure there must have been ducts
of cold and warm air and inversions. Another Amsat member Chris, KF7KN
helped and we double checked each other work, we didn't want any mistakes.
During the sarex pass for the first school, we were still communicating
with the astronauts for about 25 seconds after LOS. I have the whole thing
on video.
It didn't happen again the second pass, the weather was more normal.
Back in those days, when you were scheduled for a contact, NASA faxed the
latest keps for the shuttle. The element set we got faxed was less than an
hour old, and they even faxed us a new set for the next pass. Hee Hee,
freshest set of keps I ever got.

Hi,
Today at about 15:00 pm i had a good pass of AO-51 but as usual i could'nt
get in.
I've tried during the whole pass to tx on the uplink frequencies moving a
bit up and down but nothing to do, i did not get any response.
I have tried with two TNC with a TINY-2 and with a TNC3S but had the same
result.
I saw in the queue for the whole pass OZ7SAT.
I would like to know which is the correct frequency to TX.
Unfortunately i do not know and also cannot find OZ7SAT's email address so
if he read this message can please email me the correct frequency.
Any help will be really appreciated.
