Equipment: Quansheng TGUV2-Plus, HB9CV foldable antenna

Hearing a transmission from space is an intriguing experience.

The International Space Station orbiting above the UK was calling on a frequency 145.800 MHz to a school in Lyme Regis. Only the answers from the astronauts up there (not the questions) were heard. The conversation was recorded on a digital recorder. As the digital recorder is rather sensitive, and my reception was good, the recording is rather loud and with an overdriven level.

Enjoy the fragment of the conversation!
