Over Christmas 2024, the ISS sent down a series of 12 images to commemorate contacts they made throughout the year. I was able to get 3 or 4 of them but not of then were as clear as these. Still learning how to keep the signal strong due to the doppler shift. I'll do a video soon of how I set this up with my radio and the software I used.

Here are a few local repeaters I am listen to and I occasionally participate in a NET on these repeaters when my signal is strong enough. These and any other repeaters that you'd like to listen out for can be found on RepeaterBook.com.

These are a few ways I am learning and practicing morse code. If you are new to Morse Code, start with Morse Mania to start learning the letters and numbers. After that, I recommend shifting to Didahdit.com and start learning state abbreviations, words, and call signs. Crank up your character speed to at least 30 to learn so you don't get dits and dahs stuck in your head. To get faster and better at head copy, you need to memorize the "riffs" and sounds without doing a character translation in your brain.
