Tomorrow night's pass will be visible, if the weather cooperates:

Additionally, the astronauts will likely be outside during the pass.  If
anyone has any 220 gear that will go up above the ham bands:

Is anyone planning any type of gathering for this event?  Personally I'd
love to hear the ISS when it flies by but I've only got access to a
hand-held Icom which I don't think will pick up any audio from the ISS.  :(

Yow... coming up in less than an hour from now!

Both of my Yaesu dual-band rigs can tune that range but the RX sensitivity is likely down quite a bit vs. the ham bands.   Worth a try though.

Well, shoot.  Neither radio will tune to the frequencies.  :(

Bzzt, same here.   I thought they could.  Maybe it was the Kenwood TH-79 that could tune 250-290.

I believe that most Icom HTs will tune out of band but I believe you 
hold down a key when powering up. There use to be a page on the icom 
site that told you those key strokes. Then there is also a mods site 
that also will tell that. I cant remember any of that a this time. It 
was all on my main system that is currently "tango-uniform".

I didn't realize the astronauts were outside when it passed by.
That's cool!

Did anyone else manage to catch it?  I got the entire family
outside our house and my wife found it before it reached apogee.
We then watched it as it went up and then down behind the trees.
It was quite bright (magnitude -1.8 according to heavens-above.com)
and clearly visible in the twilight.

Cheers,
Tanner

We missed it - too many clouds too low on the horizon.  :(

I'll be more ready next time!  :)

How about higher up?  It's highest point of inclination was 54 degrees
above the horizon!  That's decently high and was above the clouds for
us.
