Hi Kevin,
I am sorry that you consider the packet on the ISS "a waste of time". Many of us actually enjoy it a lot and it is a great beacon to verify ISS signals. It is also a nice challenge since it will require the use of APRS, ISS tracking, digipeating of signals and quick text responses to make a contact.
Have a Merry Christmas and a great holiday season,
Stefan, VE4NSA

Has anyone made any contacts at all? I doubt it, all shown are beacons which are lame because they wear down the bats on PC-SAT -44 remember that bird?
The packet on ISS is a waste of time maybe they should move the antenna or something...
