Paul's version would have been perfect, but just being aware that the EVA was occurring, and the frequencies involved, was interesting and valuable. I'm not on Twitter, so didn't see the original. Thank you for the heads-up, so to speak.
Andrew, I expect your choice of interface (iPhone, with its limitations) may have something to do with the expressed frustration. Paul's version, citing the source and context, is far more valuable and less work for me, but I know it was more work on his part. I don't know how that work would map to the iPhone's interface - copying links, more typing, etc. - or if it is even possible. I know on my Android phone, it would have been a bit of work, but trivial to do on my PC (which BTW, I am using now...). Perhaps that's just the nature of the 'BB; this isn't Twitter, so we need to adapt to what works best here.
So, a friendly suggestion: If you would provide a bit more context in your shorter postings, using complete words and sentences, it would make for less head-scratching on the part of your audience, and help all involved. Nobody else is inside your head or know what you're up to. You have a lot to offer, but sometimes it's just too much work on our part to decode what you are talking about or requesting help on. Please help us help you.

Relaying certain information from Twitter might be appropriate at times, but please cite the source of the information when you do so.
I would have worded the original post like this:
"M0GIW reports ISS EVA activity was heard on 143.625 MHz and 130.167 MHz FM. https://twitter.com/M0GIW/status/898186526877724677"

Andrew,
I think maybe you need to take a break from the internet for a while. You could also stop and think before hitting that send button. Ask yourself questions like "am I adding any value to the conversation?". Only you can prevent a whole group of people from having to hit the delete button.

Hi Andrew,
Curious... Where was this monitored? If I tell gpredict to go back to 13:59 UTC today (about 3.5 hrs ago), the ISS appears to be over the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, headed for the U.K. If you were monitoring in Australia, that's not possible.
What did I do wrong?
