When I started receiving packets via the International Space Station earlier this month, I noticed a familiar call: KB1GVR. He was one of the few North American stations who could pick up my packet beacons via PCSAT — he would then relay them to the internet. This month, when I sent my sigs through the ISS, OM GVR spotted them, and sent reply messages to me via the packet system. I didn’t get them via the satellite — they came to me via the “Stations Heard Via ISS” web site. But still, it was fun to run into an old friend via the space station.
Messages (for me!) from space station
