Now that I can actually send and receive messages off the ISS is there anyone around here doing it? I think that alot of the calls that show up here http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/ariss/index.cgi are Beacon People so I really dont want to clog up the BBS with messages that will never be retrieved...There are alot of people saying hello but only KF1BUZ has actually said hello back on the same pass...
RS0ISS-11 BBS 0 not o. PACKET LIVES and if more people would get on 145.050 in CA there could be a Golden Packet EVERY DAY!!! Specifically Merced to Bakersfield....

I am 'packet challenged' never having tried it. But I'd like to try what Kevin is doing. If anyone is doing this with a Kenwood TS-2000, which I think has a built in TNC, I would appreciate any help on how to set up the radio for this
Thanks, Ted, K7TRK

Gentelmen: Keep me in the loop. I've got a tt4 and an ht I could dedicate to this.. Sounds like fun. Norm n3ykf
Best to use the digi and not the PBS as useing the PBS ties up the uplink freq
