1. Upcoming School Contacts
Dumbleyung Primary School has been scheduled for an Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) contact on Thursday, November 26 at 11:51 UTC via telebridge station VK4KHZ in Australia. Students have discussed and explored all aspects of Earth and its position within the solar system, as well as the Earth's structure and how it impacts the way people live.

I use UI-View and have it setup as an IGate. I know the IGate is working as I see entry's on http://www.ariss.net/ that indicate I have gated traffic. However, I have also sent beacons with my APRS info and the ISS has responded to me (I see the return RS0ISS-3*:) but that traffic is not gated through my IGate. It seems I have to rely on others for that. I was just wondering if anyone knew why. Do I have something setup incorrectly? Thanks for any help.
