Jeff,
You see absolutely nothing wrong with someone beaconing every freaking 3 or 4 seconds? That's all well and good that he wants to see himself online, but maybe he needs to look closer because his packets ARE getting forwarded by Igates so that isn't the problem.
Bottom line is that he's beaconing way too often and creating a problem for people that are actually trying to make a contact and aren't so worried about seeing themselves online.

All this is demonstrating is that N3FCX is watching the ARISS site to see himself/or if his message has made it to the internet. If he doesn't see he got in, he is simply trying again. Does anyone really think he is an unattended station transmitting every 3 seconds??? All this is showing is that there is a need for better ISS IGATES. This whole thing is really getting ridiculous...

These are actual packets decoded by my station between 16:31-16:33 UTC today, April 18.
I could post more than two minutes but it doesn't paint a different picture.
Fortunately not everyone on the planet has their beacons set to go off every 2-3 seconds.
