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
