This was a pretty quiet pass, with 6 stations being heard. From Left to right it reads: Callsign - Type - Mobile/Portable/Fixed - Distance - Latitude - Longitude - Number of Packets Received So, all in all we heard Germany (DG4BR DG3LA), Italy (IK3ZGB), Hungary (HA3HT), Spain (EA1JM) and England (G0GOO). Some familiar callsigns beginning to pop up. Transmission and Reception wasn’t the clearest - I’ll have to update the Keplarian Elements (see the bottom for more) by the looks of it. …

This pass was relatively noisy, with 10 stations being heard… Through the space station, I heard England (G0GOO G6UIM), the Netherlands (PD2RLD), Germany (GF8LS DG4BR DM2KGB), Spain (EA1JM), Italy (IK1COA) and France (F6CDZ F4FEB), Plotted below for your viewing pleasure. Not a bad list, overall, but I reckon we can do better. Below is a map of all the stations in Europe that were heard by the Space Station, and we are one of them (as MM3ZRZ), but there are a lot that seem to be missing from my list above. …

Better than last time, but a busier pass also. …

Below is a basic overview of the hardware that was set up and used for my Satellite Tracking activities at University! STAC station at Strathclyde University is a student-driven experiment into low power, low cost Satellite communications for academic research purposes. The station is also closely linked with WoSARS, who have been very supportive in the initial stages of the set up. Currently the only person licensed to operate from the station is Dave, MM3ZRZ. …
