[amsat-bb] Email via The ISS Was: What Happened to the PacSats?

Short emails are posible trough iss http://wa8lmf.net/bruninga/aprs/sset-email.GIF

it's one way only but good enough for checkin messages, there are enough monitoring stations to cover most needs, africa might be a bit hard at places but even there, there should be posibileties.

I had a low pass right now and I did not get a repeat of what I sent up. I am beaconing:

KQ6UP>BEACON,ARISS: <UI>: :EMAIL :[email protected] This is a test of ISS mail.

This did not echo back, but this is what I did decode:

ISS Crew Keyboard. Crew may not be available. For BBS/PMS use RS0ISS-11

RS0ISS-4>N7HQB: <<UA>>: and three more very similar lines.

Should I be using RS0ISS for the via? Has the call sign changed?

Thanks, Chris Maness KQ6UP
