Folks,
If anyone here has had good success with sending an APRS location and digi-peating it through the ISS, please send me some tips or online links. I have a simple HT connected to the Arrow sat antenna. The laptop is running UISS. I can hear the data traffic very clearly. I also see them pop up on my UISS screen. But the times I have sent a TX to the ISS it does not seem to show up on this web page: http://www.ariss.net/
Anyone with success please let me know.

I see your icon on the map and didn't realize we were that close. I'm in Carpentersville, IL (near Elgin).

Hi Ed,
I'm not sure of the amount of traffic being heard by the ISS over your neck of the woods, but there is a fair amount over this side of the pond.
During each pass, I may be lucky to get 2 responses back. That's with 25w to an Omni. It's all down to what the ISS hears. If it hears your packet, hopefully you will hear it digid back, provided you have a steady hand with your Arrow.
