All this is demonstrating is that N3FCX is watching the ARISS site to see himself/or if his message has made it to the internet. If he doesn't see he got in, he is simply trying again. Does anyone really think he is an unattended station transmitting every 3 seconds??? All this is showing is that there is a need for better ISS IGATES. This whole thing is really getting ridiculous...

Jeff,
You see absolutely nothing wrong with someone beaconing every freaking 3 or 4 seconds? That's all well and good that he wants to see himself online, but maybe he needs to look closer because his packets ARE getting forwarded by Igates so that isn't the problem.
Bottom line is that he's beaconing way too often and creating a problem for people that are actually trying to make a contact and aren't so worried about seeing themselves online.

Jeff,
It's quite clear the station is running an unattended beacon, just look at the packets. Even if this was a live person at a keyboard it would still be borderline jamming. That's kind of the definition, constantly transmitting with no intent on making a QSO and blocking other stations from doing so. I can only hope that the station is doing it on accident due to some improper configuration and not doing it on purpose. The purpose of packet RADIO over satellite is not so that you can see yourself on the internet, we have many other ways to accomplish that, like this Internet BB.
You should really consider why a station needs to beacon at 3 second intervals to see if he shows up on a website. The latency alone can be greater than that so they are transmitting again without sufficient time to know for sure they've been gated.
To your point about the lack of quality gates, if this station wasn't constantly transmitting it might hear something and gate it. Makes the problem worse, not better.

Jeff, I encourage you to look more closely at the packets in my original email and at the raw packets on ARISS.net. I copied those packets directly via RF which means all of them were being digitpeated by the ISS when I decoded them. They were being seen by anyone in the footprint and picked up by other IGATE stations. Secondly, I was running a passive IGATE, forwarding what I received to the APRS-IS. Based on your statement, if I took down my IGATE, should the other station transmit more often?
My posting of those packets was not meant to insult anyone or cause any embarrassment. I posted what I received at my station. Readers can draw whatever conclusions their hearts desire. I didn't insult anyone by license class, their goals, etc. Call my email ridiculous if you will, but it is not my station broadcasting packets via the ISS every 5-10 seconds when in the footprint.

Clayton, I just closely looked at Dan's transmissions as appeared on the DIGI'd ARISS site and see that he is for some reason transmitting a bit too much. At first I only looked at your email. I know he doesn't run unattended, so I don't know what he is doing. Us old guys lose it, it's just a matter of time, you will see in 30 years :-) I will try and contact him to see what's going on....
Here's what I found on APRS.FI...

He should of saw his first TX that got DIGI'd, but maybe for some reason he didn't, I don't see why, but I also don't know why this indicates that this is the end of the world, but will look into it, best I can..

Jeff, I encourage you to look more closely at the packets in my original email and at the raw packets on ARISS.net. I copied those packets directly via RF which means all of them were being digitpeated by the ISS when I decoded them. They were being seen by anyone in the footprint and picked up by other IGATE stations. Secondly, I was running a passive IGATE, forwarding what I received to the APRS-IS. Based on your statement, if I took down my IGATE, should the other station transmit more often?
My posting of those packets was not meant to insult anyone or cause any embarrassment. I posted what I received at my station. Readers can draw whatever conclusions their hearts desire. I didn't insult anyone by license class, their goals, etc. Call my email ridiculous if you will, but it is not my station broadcasting packets via the ISS every 5-10 seconds when in the footprint.

All this is demonstrating is that N3FCX is watching the ARISS site to see himself/or if his message has made it to the internet. If he doesn't see he got in, he is simply trying again. Does anyone really think he is an unattended station transmitting every 3 seconds??? All this is showing is that there is a need for better ISS IGATES. This whole thing is really getting ridiculous...

These are actual packets decoded by my station between 16:31-16:33 UTC today, April 18.
I could post more than two minutes but it doesn't paint a different picture.
Fortunately not everyone on the planet has their beacons set to go off every 2-3 seconds.
