ISS Packet radio

Well its just a start towards contacting the International Space Station.

The ISS is running some Amateur radio equipment, part of that is a
means of communicating with it via a slow but reliable means in a
digital (computer to computer manner) using whats called packet radio.

I have yet to improve my equipment, receiving wise, so the screen cap
shows a lot of incorrectly decoded packets, but it is a start. I can
decode it, hoping to make a contact in the coming weeks.

But it is clear that it is the ISS, at the time of decoding VK2MAL was
connected.
