Listen to the radio from an ISS spacesuit

If you were asked what station is currently orbiting 400 km above the Earth
at 28 000 km/h you may be tempted to answer the International Space Station
(ISS). This is of course correct but if you were to look with a good
telescope behind the ISS (or tune in with the appropriate equipment) you may
soon pick up a second station: a radio station.

yeah, it's called suitsat. info can be found on www.suitsat.org

and rather than be craft and say "tune in with the appropriate equipment"
I'll say to use your police radio scanner to tune into 145.990 fm. although
with the battery problems they are having and the spin issues involved, I'd
advise you get yourself on big honkin antenna.
