Screenshot from SDR# during the Tim Peake contact from the ISS on the
8/1/2016

This morning at 8:47am Tim Peake took part in his first ARISS school
contact with theĀ*Sandringham School in St Albans as part of the Principia
mission.

Tim seemed to handle his first ISS Contact well although there appeared to
be some problems with the school hearing the ISS and quite a few reports of
amateurs calling the ISS on the downlink frequency of 145.800.

That said I managed to hear the pass well and took an recording using SDR#,
Airspy SDR & my usual tracked Wimo X-Quads.
