Contact with Tim Peake on a handheld.
8 January 2016 | by And a happy new year to you too.
Today was a great day. I wanted to listen in on the ISS as it flew past and especially the contact that Tim Peake was going to have with Sandringham School in St. Albans.
The pass was scheduled for 8:47am and I decided that I would share my experiences of listening in and also show you all how easy it is to accomplish with nothing more than just a handheld radio.
Today I used my Yaesu VX8. only because it was the only radio charged up. The fact is that any 2m FM radio will be able to listen in on the ISS and other amateur satellites that fly overhead.
Anyway here is the video, I hope you enjoy it. And yes. It really was very very cold.

I remember listening to Helen Sharman working the Harrogate Ladies College from MIR, and that was on my old hand held scanner standing in the front garden. It’s a great way of showing off our great hobby to non-radio enthusiasts, it always impresses them!:-)
