🛰️ You can talk to the astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) with a $20 dollar ham radio and a little knowledge. 🌌

1. Get Licensed: You need a ham radio license, so start by passing the necessary exam.

2. Gear Up: Equip yourself with a ham radio setup capable of reaching VHF frequencies.

3. Track the ISS: Use online tools to find when the ISS will be overhead. See the link below.

4. Tune In: Dial into the ISS's frequency at 145.800 MHz for voice communication.

5. Call Out: When the ISS is in range, call and wait for a response. Remember, timing is everything due to the short communication window!
