Astronaut Paolo Nespoli from ISS
On April 29, 2011 at 14:00 UTC ISS astronaut Paolo Nespoli [IZ0JPA] answered some questions by students of Istituto Maccioni in Nuoro, Italy, via hamradio contact.
This is a video I've recorded while receiving Paolo on 145.800 MHz FM (± doppler), using a home made J-pole antenna on my balcony. It was a very good transit, with max elevation marking about 83 degrees. Sadly, there were some interferences from a local repeater...
Anyway, good copy of NA1SS!
