Hi all....well just wanted to "brag" a bit about having just worked Bruce, KE0LX via the ISS today!
That was totally cool! I think the best part about it, besides the hi-tech factor, is the efficiency of it all. By that, it is cool how SO MANY can use it at the same time...and so easily. I literally came home from work, opened the package from Buxcomm that had my MDIN cable for my FT-817ND (already had the Rascal Interface), plugged it in, hit the PKT button, loaded UISS/AGWPE and that was it.
I feel like a teenaged Novice again!
73s all...and enjoy the Conference. (I'll be listening via Echolink)

Hi John,
Congratulations on your first! ARISS packet is fun and as easy as any "easysat" once your packet setup is running.
You can go back and view the messages to your station at this URL: http://www2.findu.com/cgi-bin/msg.cgi?call=K9JKM Just substitute the call you used on packet for the K9JKM part.
PCSAT is many times as easy when its in full sunlight. Just make your UNPROTO CQ VIA W3ADO-1 for PCSAT; and, UNPROTO CQ VIA ARISS for ISS.
Welcome aboard! And, greetings earthlings ;-) -- 73 de JoAnne K9JKM k9jkm@amsat.org
