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 :kq6up@kq6up.org 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
iss should digi both trough ariss and rs0iss-4, if someone is using the bbs there will be a lot of colisions so you will have to give it several tries, especialy on low power, you can always test the email system on 144.390. you can also look at http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/ariss/index.cgi for successfull repeats.

How do I send email on 144.390? Is the same way as I would send via the ISS?
Thanks, Chris
yes, you could replace the via path with wide2-1, that should show if you are getting recieved as wel.

Does this system limit my emails to one a day or something? My last terrestrial test did not seem to work via wide2-1.
Thanks, Chris Maness
APRS Email Format:
KQ6UP>BEACON,ARISS::EMAIL :kq6up@kq6up.org This is a test of ISS
mail.
Yes, that is correct APRS message format for an Email
How do I send email on 144.390? Is the same way as I would send via the ISS?
yes, you could replace the via path with WIDE2-2, that should show if you are getting recieved as wel.
That will work just about anywhere in the western hemisphere on 144.39 or in Europe on 144.800.
Does this system limit my emails to one a day or something? My last terrestrial test did not seem to work via wide2-1.
Any APRS packet you send can be verified that it was pickedup via the global APRS system by simply going to http://APRS.FI and entering the callsign. If that station has never sent a position report, then APRS.FI will say "no position known" but that does not mean that it did not capture the message packet. To see other packets fromany station, click on Other-views/Raw packets and then enter the callsign on that page and you should see your packet within seconds (if it was heard)..
Whether it gets delivered by actual email is a separate issue. I just tried it and got the email within less than a minute.
If you have an APRS radio all the formatting is done for you. Just send the APRS message to EMAIL and the first word of the message must be an Email address.
Send it on 144.39 VIA WIDE2-2 Send it on 145.825 via ARISS
Good luck Bob, Wb4APR

Thanks, Bob. It worked perfectly. I am sorry I did not get a chance to report back, but I had company come over right after the pass. Very exciting, but my wife did not understand the significance of what I had done -- even though it means I would be able to email her from anywhere when I am out exploring.
Thanks, Chris

Thanks, Bob. It worked perfectly... it means I would be able to email her from anywhere when I am out exploring.
Yep, anywhere on the planet except the poles assuming:
1) There are enough IGates listening on 145.825 2) The ISS APRS Digipeater continues to work.

As far as that is concerned. I am Physics teacher. Due to budget cuts, I was bumped down to the middle school this year. I am hoping to land a job as the Physics teacher at the new high school opening in our district. If I get it, I will be in search of STEM grants to get for my students and I to build a pico sat. If this is doable, I would have digital capabilities in the forefront of my mind. Heck, building a bird with a simple digi does not seem like it would be SUPER hard.
Bob, I have actually met you in person and the AMSAT symposium in San Diego. That was a few years ago. I think 1999 or 2000. I was so impressed by the PacSats I learned a ton about Linux and networking trying to decode those sats with software (I was too poor to afford the hardware at the time). It is good to correspond with you again.
Thanks, Chris Maness KQ6UP
