Looks like the ISS digi gets very little use during early morning passes over North America, so I decided to play around with the BBS a bit. During the ~0620z pass this morning I was able to log in with just my HT hooked up to an old, wind-damaged scanner antenna and get a message listing. Over the 2 following passes, I QSY'd my 45-watt packet BBS to 145.825 and used it to download all of the messages currently stored on the ISS BBS.

Note that, despite previous reports to the contrary, it appears that the commands are NOT case-sensitive. At least they weren't for me...
