Only serious business instead of amateur stuff... Again amateur radio

the ISS cross band repeater on? It can run unattended and there is no
risk the batteries get down as those in the camera. It will also send
the QRP'er away off the other sat as the ISS repeater is very very easy
to hear and work too.
Great promoting asset collecting floating dust in space.
Wow, you never know when your threshold will be reached, but this is mine. This list never seems to miss an opportunity to complain about the state of affairs, but always seems to miss opportunities to actually do anything positive. I've reached my personal limit of grouchery. Complain all you want from your position in the ditch, I'm hitting the road.
Mark, Just ignore him.
I'm sure there isn't dust collecting on the ham equipment we paid good money to send up, because the ISS has an extremely good air filtration system.
