A contact between the International Space Station and a Dutch scouting group
Today I listened to an amateur radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) contact: Saturday 28 December, ARISS contact planned with Scout group in The Netherlands. This time I listened in the backyard at home, which is a lot more enclosed by other buildings than the location I used on the previous pass, the roof of a 4-floor building at work. Reasonable reception started in the answer to the 7th question and dropped away in the answer to the 14th question. Good to hear scouting and ham-radio being used in such a way!
