Below are successful digipeats via ISS from Redwood City, CA, USA.

It appears to be feasible to submit position reports via ISS, and it should be easier while at sea outside a coastal environment, where there is practically no competition for the digipeater while the radio footprint isn't over land.

I will attempt an experiment on Monday, Sept. 6th while taking a day cruise from Santa Cruz, CA, USA, using coastal (144.390 MHz) stations between ISS passes.

Hello all,

I would like to know the address of some new satgates, because satgate.aprsca.net is not working in the two ports that I have, so If anybody knows any new satgate, please let me know.

Just got home from work and got lucky in trying to send APRS beacon on UL 145.800 and got the ACK back on DL 145.825. Not sure how long radio will be in this config but keep it til further notice. Time was 0430 utc over Eastern Canada. B/RGS & Good luck! -Derek :)

I have never done Packet Radio and would like to use it to communicate with the ISS. What equipment and software do I need? I see TNC units on eBay, but unsure whether to buy. I have a Kenwood 2M transciever. Thanks,

Hi,

I was able to hear the bulletin board in Romania but I don't know how to connect to it. Do I need to create an account first or is it sufficient tu issue C RS0ISS command? Is there any good tutorial on this subject?

Thank you,

I have only heard the ISS at 145.825 but there were no stations digipeated. Is there an upload shift used on the repeater? -600KHz?

I want to work the ISS. What are the parameters for my Kantronics KAM98?

i have received a direct message from someone via the ISS using packet and i want to send a message back but i am not sure i am doing it correctly because i seem to always get disconnected.

this is what i am doing

after i connect to the bbs. i type

w w1abc "W" for Write and then a space and then the call sign of who i am trying to send message to

i was under the assumption this is how you send a message direct to someone so it is waiting for them when they connect. am i doing this wrong?

thanks for the help
