Congrats on the packet contact. I hear the packet almost every time the station is overhead. I'm still waiting for a voice contact.

I was mobile in Southern California with a hand held in the car, heading to Edwards AFB to see the Shuttle. Voice came in very strong and clear answering questions from schools. Could not hear the uplink end, only the down link. Great signal. ! 73 to the crew in orbit!

Depends on the crew member. Some like to make them. Some do not.

Help with APRS to ISS
If you replace WIDEn-N with ARISS then you should be ready to go.

Help with APRS to ISS
Hello !
I just started working in APRS and there are a lot of things that I try to understand when it comes to make a contact via ISS. I have a MAAS AHT-2UV transceiver connected with a pair of audio cables to a Android phone, which runs APRSdroid application. For "terrestrial" APRS, all it is perfect, I can receive and transmit APRS packets without any packets, using normal DIGI PATH WIDEn-N.
Now, my question is: for ISS operation, the DIGI PATH field im my application sould be set with the following string: UNPROTO CQ VIA ARISS ?
Thank you !
Best 73 !

When will the repeater be back on?
An idea of the difficulty to programming the output power in the ISS repeater
Press the MENU button
Select OUTPUT POWER and press ENTER
Select the needed power and press ENTER
Press MENU for close .......Or a variation more or less complicated ............
This directly on TRx or in the repeater control computer
In my opinion it does not cost a million dollars ( but in the NASA possible....... )The problem is to want

I think the switching off of the radio is related to the preparations for the undocking of HTV-3 on sept 12.

When will the repeater be back on?
The solutions are easy but the excessive amounts of money to implement them is much harder to acquire.

Still doing the ISS Achievement Award?
Hello IK1SLD
I also have used the ISS APRS Digipeater, in my records the last time I used it was on May 20, 2012 06:54:44 UTC which is within the last 4 months. Will I still be able to apply for the ISS Achievement Award?
Thank you. 73.

Reception of the ISS beacon and digipeater has been working quite well for me today, much better than I was getting via UHF.

When will the repeater be back on?
The problem is easy to fix!
If the brilliant minds who have installed the system did not think the classical repeaters constraint Is that they are very bad !!
The solution is to reduce the TX power output .....
One or two watts ouput are enouth for make ISS contact with an GP antenna !!
The only thing to make : reprogram the Tx .......But as no one is interested in amateur radio in NASA or Russian because it brings nothing in public relations ...... We will wait for long time or eternity !

When will the repeater be back on?
The Russian team has expressed concerns about the duty cycle the repeater places on the radio and will not likely be used until that situation changes.

I'm hearing they want to try from Oct - Dec this year but they have to install some new equipment before they can start. Not sure when that will occur but probably near the end of Sept.

André Kuipers: bringing space a little closer to home
http://www.pe1pqx.eu/foto-gallerij-hobby-gerelateerd/category/2-welkomst...
Here are about 36 pictures I took at the heroes welcome of André Kuipers in Noordwijk, The Netherlands.
I was fortunate to attend this event an had the chance to shake hands with André Kuipers himself and swiftly asked him his opinion about amateur radio aboard the ISS.
His answer was "Always a pleasure to speak with a Dutch HAM-radio operator" (probably because he rarely heard spoken words in Dutch while on orbit)73',

The purifier is only needed to support the ATV that is currently attached. That vehicle is scheduled to depart in late Sept. Once gone the need for the purifier will also be gone so packet should be back afterwards.
Packet has been on recently as I think the ATV was closed for recent space walks. Not sure if it will stay on until ATV leaves. I'm also hearing the the Russians are planning some SSTV activity in the near future. That would occur in place of the VHF packet operations. UHF packet operations should continue.
