Hello all,

Thanks much for all the great feedback. Its turned out my keps were off in SATPC32 and I just needed to do a quick update. Funny that the ISS was the only SAT exhibiting the problem. Perhaps its orbit/schedule is more dynamic than the rest?

Made 4 contacts yesterday on ISS with relative ease. Awesome big signal coming from there. Loving every second of it. I wish they would keep it going a little longer.

Mike,

The ISS unlike most other LEO satellites requires frequent "boosts" in it's orbit using engines on the Progress resupply ships, the shuttle, and I believe even a few that are part of the station. Because of that, the Keps are much more dynamic than a lot of other LEO's.
