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!

Hi Patrick, might the ISS packet radio be off due to the cargo transfer?
73, Ted K7TRK p.s. I'll be listening anyway

Hi Ted!
ISS packet has been on for a few hours, after the Progress docked. It was off around this time, yesterday afternoon, in advance of the docking. It was working fine during the last pass over North America, around 2030 UTC. I just saw on ariss.net some packets were heard as the ISS passed over Indonesia, and there's about 30 minutes to go before my AOS for ISS.

It was on during the 1901 UTC pass over East Coast USA today - I was digipeated.
