Vinicio IK3VZS has been my first satellite contact ever on FO-20 on June 24th 1998 at 0530Z. This is where it all began !!! Especially when seeing is setup antennas...

Another great contact I did was the MIR space station just before it became unhabited. The contact was establish on August 9th 1998 at 1714Z in packet.

I have wait for a long time to realize this contact and finally, I got the opportunity to establish a contact with Valery Korzun onboard of ISS on august 18 2002 @ 1100 UTC. Unfortunatly, the pass was one minute to be over so signal got very noisy and weak. (100 kb - 50 sec)

Voici le signal décodé en utilisant WSJT : 042701 0.0 240 6 26 -21 VA2CST WB5APD

This is my first conatac in Meteor Scatter done on august 14 2002 at 0450Z. Thanks to Eric WB5ADP for his help and precious patience. (26 kb - 11sec)

Here is the decoded signal using WSJT : 042701 0.0 240 6 26 -21 VA2CST WB5APD

Here is a contact established on 6m (50.1285 MHz) by propagation on aurora borealis on October 21 2001 @ 2243 local time. There was a lot of  activity but it was of short duration. The audio on aurora borealis propagation is very deformed and sometimes very difficult to understand. What you will hear in this file is what get along on the air since my voice is very clear when I speak. The audio is thus not deformed by the  real audio file and well what you'll  heara live on air.

1) Essaie un peu bruyant sur AO-10 à 33000 km (66000 allé retrour !). (27k - 17 sec)

2) Conditions excellentes, il y avais environ une demi seconde de retard entre ma voix et le retour du satellite AO-10 qui étais à plus de 39400 km (78800 km allé retour !). (74k - 35 sec.)

These tries were realized on my station during 2001 where AO-10 was giving some nice opening even at very long distances where the solar panels where oriented on the sun and the antennas to the earth.

Examples of the delayed audio from my station to the satellite and back to my station due to the extreme distance the signal has to travel. 

1) Noisy clip on AO-10 at 33000 km (66000 back and forth !). (27k - 17 sec)

2) Excellent conditions, there were a second and a half delay between my voice and the retrun audio of the AO-10 satellite which was at more than 39400 km (78800 km back and forth !). (74k - 35 sec)

Toujours sur ma station, voici des transmission de la Station Spatiale Internationale (ISS) où on peut entendre les astronautes russe discuter avec la station de commandement (je crois...). Les signaux reçus étais très clair et très puissants.

1) reçu le 2 janvier 2001 à 1900h UTC sur 143.625 MHz (33k - 58 sec)

2) reçu le 7 février 2001 à 1950h UTC sur 143.625 (244k - 6 min 25 sec) et a la fin de la passe, on peut entendre parlé en englais !!! (Houston, Alpha)

Always using my station, here are some received conversation onboard the International Space Station (ISS). The conversation was with russian astronauts and station ground control (I think...). Received signals where really clear and loud.

1) on january 2nd 2001 at 1900h UTC on 143.625 MHz (33k - 58 sec)

2) on march 7th 2001 at 1950 UTC on 143.625 MHz (244k - 6 min 25 sec) and at the end of the pass we can hear some english words !!! (Houston, Alpha)

This is the actual AO-40 telemetry that I captured in VHF on november 29 2000 at 1740 UTC. The satellite was at more than 30000 km of distance from my station. Received signals were very strong (S9+). The telemetry had been decoded with the Phase 3D (AO-40) Decoder from Nino Porcino IZ8BLY that use the line input on my computer sound card.
