I've heard two of the men on board. I thought they'd always use the KB5SIW call, but I also heard them use one of the other callsigns once. Since liftoff, I've had no problems hearing them (a total of eight times, every evening (German time) except last night when I had to work late ;-( Twice they even called CQ -- not too surprising given the fact that the probably don't work too many hams in the Atlantic ocean. Anyway, once they heard (and phonetically repeated) the last three letters of my call, but beyond that I've not had any success working them with my vertical (!). They've always been on voice -- and NEVER on packet yet that I've heard. Now I see in the latest ARRL bulletin that they have packet turned off in order to save power, but might turn it on later in the mission. I hope so. At least then I won't have to guess which uplink freq. they're using! 73, --Shannon, DL6SEU/N7APC ------------------------------ End of Ham-Space Digest V94 #258 ******************************
