Hi Patrick, might the ISS packet radio be off due to the cargo transfer?

Hi!
It looks like we have a chance to do double-hop packet through the ISS and NO-84, around 2209 UTC. ISS is passing to my west, and NO-84 is to the southeast. Using SatPC32, it looks like the two should see each other in orbit. I'm going to give this a try, sending my packets first through ISS using its RS0ISS call, as it will be higher and easier to get into. I'm hoping that something makes it to - and through - NO-84. Even though I had tweeted that I would use ARISS for the second part of my path, I'll go with APRSAT instead. I can change it on the fly, if needed.
I'll watch the usual web sites, to see what makes it through each digipeater. Please let me know if you see WD9EWK-9 make it through both.
73!
