Is this just not gonna happen on a HT? I have tried 4 times with no luck (all high elevation passes). Again I see every packet that flies by (comparing my HT list with that on ariss.net). Very frustrating.

I personally haven't tried to do APRS from an HT on the ISS. I used to get a few lucky packets through PCSAT back when it was working well but up until a couple of weeks ago I hadn't heard the ISS in packet mode in some time. I'd say keep trying. Sometimes you'll get lucky and can get a packet through. You may need to go with a yagi, though...

Good luck!
