Quoting from a webpage [1] I setup:
"While it?s technically possible to talk to astronauts and cosmonauts using
ham radio, the problem is they don?t get on the radio very often to make
random contacts.
With that said, receiving them can be good practice for ultimately talking
to them, and it?s fun on its own.
I recommend monitoring ariss.org for upcoming school contacts in your area
which happen frequently. You can try and listen to them on the downlink at
145.800 MHz FM.
The best way to find out when they?re happening though is to subscribe to
the amsat-bb mailing list and looking for messages like these:
http://www.amsat.org/pipermail/amsat-bb/2016-April/057983.html
You can subscribe here: http://www.amsat.org/mailman/listinfo/amsat-bb
In my experience the notifications go out to amsat-bb before anywhere else,
and sometimes ariss.org isn?t updated with the latest info on contacts. I?m
not certain that?s still the case, because I rarely use it, but I know the
amsat-bb emails are consistent.
After the emails go out the @xxxxxxxxxxxx
<https://twitter.com/ariss_status> Twitter
account is updated and then the ARISS Facebook page
<https://www.facebook.com/Amateur-Radio-on-the-International-Space-Station-ARI
SS-153679794647788>
is
updated. So if email isn?t your thing and you don?t mind social media, you
can check those accounts. Even better would be to enable mobile Twitter
notifications on the @xxxxxxxxxxxx <https://twitter.com/ariss_status> account.
I?m not sure if you can do something similar with Facebook.

If you mean has anyone had a qso with astronaut? Yes. Among others, I'm one
of them. Andre Kuipers work hams at May 2012 on FM.
Within two years, I have entertain myself with packet Ax25 messages to
others keyboard operators via ISS digipeater.

Oops. I did miss that. That would be cool too. Does them talking on their
own crossband repeater count? I think they have done that. Certainly some
of the Kenwood radios they have had allow for it.

Not quite, Paul. At least eight Satellite DXCCs were earned without using
HEO or Mode K. They were made using AO-6, AO-7 and the RS birds, some of
which were slightly higher than AO-6/7.
In the order they were issued, here are the first seven: W2BXA, W2LV, W1NU,
G3IOR, WA2CBB, G6RH and W2YY. All are now SK except for CBB.
The 8th one was mine, although I was slow to collect QSL cards and my
certificate is No. 13.
Congrats to John on being the next one!

Ken Ransom might recall more details, but it was tried with AO-51 and I
think the astronaut was Doug Wheelock. If I recall correctly he heard the
satellite, and was heard through the satellite, but no QSOs were completed.
The Doppler is "interesting" as you can imagine. AO-91 would be a good
candidate for a repeat attempt.

Douglas,
No, this hasn't happened - but not from a lack of trying.
In 2006, at the very end of Bill McArthur's ISS tour, there was an
effort to see if Bill could make a QSO via AO-51. Bill had already
completed WAS, WAC, and DXCC working hams around the world, and
this was considered the last big thing he could do from the ISS
radio. Time was tight, and probably the biggest reason why this
didn't work. Instructions were sent up to the ISS, and stations
were recruited on the ground in locations compatible with both
available AO-51 passes and Bill's available time. Bill was heard
through AO-51, but no QSOs were made.
I am not aware if there have been other attempts since 2006 for an
ISS crewmember to work an amateur satellite from the ISS. Maybe
if Doug Wheelock can get another ISS tour, this could be tried again.
IIRC crewmembers that used the ISS cross-band repeater to work
stations on the ground are not using a different radio to work
through the ISS repeater. Since the cross-band repeater was a
function of the Kenwood dual-band mobile transceivers, the crews
would use the microphone and speaker on that radio to work
stations. Really no different than if the cross-band repeater
function on those radios is turned off, or if the crews used
the GE/Ericsson HTs to work stations.
73!

Thanks for the follow up, Ray. I did specify ?first since 1983? in my
original post as I knew it had been done prior to AO-10. It?s good to see
the list of those who completed it.

Friends,
Having hosted an ARISS contact myself earlier this year, I am well
aware of direct contacts
between the astronauts and someone on the ground.
The relevant part of the question was the part about the QSO being
*THROUGH an
AMATEUR RADIO SATELLITE TRANSPONDER*.
If you are aware of a success (or a failed attempt) I would be
interested in knowing
which astronaut and which amateur radio satellite was used.
Lastly, does anyone have a technical references for correcting
calculating the Doppler
for a QSO from ISS through a satellite to the ground? (And no, you can't
just change
the tracking program's ground station latitude/longitude every second to
match the ISS
satellite subpoint.)
Thanks and 73,
Douglas KA2UPW/5
