Both came out of the northwest, sweeping down the west\r\ncoast and ending up in the south-southeast. NO-84 was higher than the ISS,\r\nand a few of us tried to make some double-hops through both.\r\n\r\nFernando NP4JV and I started with a path RS0ISS,APRSAT to force our packets\r\nfirst through the ISS digipeater, and then through NO-84. I thought that it\r\nmight work better having ISS retransmit the packets first, then go silent\r\nas NO-84 did its retransmissions. This did not work as well as I had hoped.\r\nFernando did not see any of his packets make the double-hop. I saw one of\r\nmy position packets make the double-hop near the end of the pass, but that\r\nwasn't picked up by any of the Internet gateways listening on 145.825 MHz.\r\nOn my TH-D72A HT, I first saw \"My Position via RS0ISS\", followed a moment\r\nlater by \"My Position via ARISS\". It is unfortunate that the TH-D72A won't\r\nstore my own position in the list of stations heard, as many of the Yaesu\r\nAPRS-ready radios do, as this means I don't have any evidence to show that\r\npacket making the double-hop. In any event, it was fun to give that a try.\r\nThere may have been one or two other stations that had packets make the\r\ndouble-hop, along with what I saw for my position packet.\r\n\r\nBeyond the double-hop experiment, this was another opportunity to practice\r\nmaking QSOs using APRS messaging through the space-based digipeaters. I was\r\nable to make quick QSOs with NP4JV (Fernando is in southern Arizona, near\r\nthe USA/Mexico border) and KG6BFD in California. I used only my TH-D72A HT\r\nand Elk log periodic antenna as my station, and Fernando wrote about his\r\nAPRS station here on the AMSAT-BB last night. This is one way to get that\r\n100-point ARRL Field Day bonus for making a satellite contact, something I\r\ndid during last year's Field Day.\r\n\r\nI will be out this evening for the west-coast ISS and NO-84 passes around\r\n0055-0125 UTC (5.55-6.25pm PDT). This time, the two will not pass over at\r\nthe same time, so there will be a chance to make QSOs through each of them\r\nduring their passes. If anyone out west is in the footprint on these passes\r\nand wants to try to make a QSO with me, please look for WD9EWK-9 - and be\r\nready with APRS messages for the QSO. My TH-D72A won't show freeform text\r\nentered into a terminal program, but will display (and store) APRS messages\r\naddressed to my call. From a terminal program, you could send me APRS\r\nmessages using this format:\r\n\r\n:WD9EWK-9 :Message follows the second colon\r\n\r\nA colon goes before my call sign, a space and a colon follows the call, and\r\nthen the text of the short message. My replies to you would appear in this\r\nformat, with the other station's call in place of WD9EWK-9.\r\n\r\n73!\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nPatrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK\r\nhttp://www.wd9ewk.net/\r\nTwitter: @WD9EWK\r\n_______________________________________________\r\nSent via [email protected].
