14.313.00

thats the frequency so many nut cases and fruitcakes hang out on and fight
daily......As in a bunch of space cases!

99.9% of the world ham and shortwave population knows about it...I guess I
just found the "TWO" that dont LOL!

FYI

I checked the nice ARISS website from Radio Amateurs of Canada at
http://www.rac.ca/ariss/oindex.htm

On the site, updated to yesterday, they give this info:

Note the total absence of HF. Modest antennas will work the ISS. Haven't
researched it [yet]. However, if 5 watts can work repeaters at 80 miles
using a j-pole, a mobile ought to do the ISS, assuming there aren't a bunch
of big-gun stations calling, too.

What's the claimed QRP record for an ISS QSO?
