Just tried to digipeat with the ARISS station on a good pass here and nothing was heard. Are they possibly working on something and tool the station off line?

They did have the Dragon cargo vehicle capture/docking earlier. I know they turn off all the amateur radio gear for EVAs. Perhaps they do for dockings as well.

February 24 - ISS digi on 437.550 was ON during afternoon passes over Chicago; successful digipeat copying my own packets.
Also noted that NO-84 telemetry reports APRSON status on 145.825. Waiting for the pass at 1621 within range of Chicago to give it a try.

Usually when they have spacecraft arriving or departing they will turn the APRS off. SpaceX Dragon this morning and Soyuz Progress tomorrow morning.

For what it's worth, I heard the digipeater on 437.55 Tuesday afternoon (Pacific) on a near overhead pass here in San Diego.
